Little Summary of the game
Reanimal is a survival horror game, stealth game, and a cinematic platformer. The story follows a brother and sister as they try to escape a hellish version of their home while attempting to save their three friends. The two must work together, explore the islands, escape from monsters, and solve various environmental puzzles in order to progress.
Honestly I couldnt afford to play it myself but I did watch Jackseptieye’s full playthrough. I very much enjoyed trying to piece together the story as many people call it the sequel Little Nightmares should have gotten. The art style and animations were beautiful. all enemies seem very much well animated and thrilling to see to have the player gripping the control for their dear life. Jack also mentioned that the haptec feedback really made him feel like he was in the realm which sounds exciting.

Parts I very much enjoyed seeing:
- The seen where the skinsuit guy riding the bike was hilarious and very much unexpected. That’s true circus comedy imo.
- Seeing all those buildings collapsed during explosions and chase scenes were a sight to see. It really made them feel very immersive when a players is locked into the game.
- The glow gratual evolution of the sheep overtime and the connection to the girl, the enemies to the very end when it becomes its own boss that basically restarts the loop all over again.
- The tank being used at the end was awesome. Nothing more to be said.
Now things I wish I was more of:
- We didnt get much out of the underwater horse looking enemy. All that happend was we took his eye and ran with it as we are being chased. I don’t even thing he died becasue all we saw is that we took the eye and ran strait to the whale and never deal with e seach horse again. (idk if he even was a horse)
- I want to see more of the whale becasue that dude was long but he only unrolled a but and left off with some of himself still a bit folded. hopefully game asset hunders will dig up so we can see more.
He didn’t get the secret ending tho. At least not yet. I actually saw that through another YouTuber - Gamersault. It left me with more questions. My theory did match his everything being a planned sacrifice of the girl with the only difference I have a belief of a reason why they did such a thing. I belive they did this is because they possibly promised a ticket to free their souls. After finding the coffins, we leaned how the boys have all died:
- bay head was hanged
- hood got shot
- bucket fell off a ledge
- bandage stepped on a landmine The last coffin was not of the girl but her pet rabbit as a lure. She ends up seeing the rabbits corpse at the end where she is standing a summoning circle and latter bagged up to be thrown into a well. It can’t be told if they truly got their freedom but it does seem like the cycle will be repeated as the well starts to over flow with her body floating up like it did at the begining of the game.
An alternate theory I have is when she got eaten. She started to see the the sacrifice that was made when they were all alive as she does deeper into the sheeps stomach. My only possible evidence is the setting the boys were in where it was done is a cabin then a well inside the cave which didnt match with the sheeps stomach since we entered the somach with her and all we have saw was nothing but deep red lighting and wet inner flesh/ stomach intestines or whatever.
Thats all I got, Tell me your thoughts if any. Would like to hear your take :)
survival horror game, stealth game
Immediate thrown-on-ignore-pile
a cinematic platformer
a what now?
To me, it looks like Little Nightmares 3 with a “Fresh” coat of paint, if that paint was made in the same factory as LN3.
I liked the original Little Nightmares, tolerated 2, and 3 bored me enough to not finish it. This game seems to improve some aspects from LN3, but still misses the mark for me.
This game was made by the folks who made Little Nightmares 1 & 2
Each to to their own but I understand ur point. LN3 was made by Supermassive Games which is why most people disliked it as LN1 and LN2 were made by ThQNordic.
LN1 and LN2 were made by ThQNordic
Both were made by Tarsier Studios, as is Reanimal. THQ Nordic is the parent company / publisher.
Thank you for the correction
survival horror game, stealth game, and a cinematic platformer.
You hit 3 out of my top 5 reasons not to play a game.
WTF is a cinematic platformer? Press (x) and just watch the sprites perform the actions rather than the player performing the actions? I loathe those games.
I’m guessing this is the non-specific way of saying Limbo-like.
To each their own
Appreciate u sharing the game link
Creepy AF and what Little Nightmares 3 should have been.
Agreed
This reads like an ad
Well I ain’t an ad. I’m just new to the place and thought I share something but I guess lemmy don’t work that way.
You’re fine, don’t sweat them. Ppl are just on edge.
Thanks for sharing!
With an ACC that only ever posted this? Are we there yet? Ads on Lemmy? I thought this shit wouldn’t fly here.
I just signed up and let me like yesterday so I don’t know what seems good to share or not to share
If you are actually real and this is no ad, then I’m sorry and you’re very welcome 😊
Otherwise…well…
It’s fine man, I just learned about lemmy and a lot of decentralized platforms because I’m tired of my data being taken and bloated with ads. I’m assuming lemmy will be a safe place.
It is. And if you’re “legit” then I didn’t present an overly warm welcome 😁
Doesn’t seem out of the realm of possibility. There aren’t really any barriers to entry on Lemmy and astroturfing is easy.
True. But to what purpose? I wouldn’t waste a buck for ads on Lemmy. A majority of critical people (why else they’d be here?) are probably not the ideal demographic for cheap marketing manipulation.
Hadn’t heard of it before now. I like Little Nightmares 1 and THQNordic but I remember some controversy over one of their recent titles misleading people on if it had cooperative or multiplayer?
From what I was on YouTube, it does seem to be multiplayer because there are 2 YouTubers names 8-bit Ryan and Dawko who seem to be playing together. Thats the only evidence I am aware of honestly. The game came out a few days ago on steam and it was made the original creators of Little Nightmares 1 and 2. Little nightmares 3 is probably the one you are referring to which is made by Supermassive Games as it is not even cross platform or couch friendly and both users have to own a copy of the game. (which btw, best place to buy it is on steam to avoid needing to get ps plus/xbox gamepass)
My thoughts? Well, the poster reminds of me of a flick named “Black Sheep” or something similar where a chemical substance turns sheep murderous.
No I feel like I got to watch Black sheep lol
It’s been years since I saw it, so my memories are vague and tinted, but they still exist. It’s, well, pretty much what you’d expect from a movie about killer sheep. I liked it at the time.
deleted by creator
Lmao, thanks for reminding me I still need to watch that movie
