The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope is a 2020 interactive drama and survival horror video game developed by Supermassive Games and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is the second game of The Dark Pictures Anthology. The game is set in a fog-shrouded abandoned town in Massachusetts. The narrative follows four college students and their professor who are stranded after a bus crash. As they explore the town, the group is pursued by demons whose appearances are tied to the 17th-century Andover and Salem witch trials. Little Hope retains mechanics used in the previous game in the series, Man of Medan, which include quick time events, two single-player and two multiplayer modes, and collectables that allow the player to see visions of possible future events. The game features a multilinear plot where decisions can alter the trajectory of the story and change the relationships between the five playable protagonists; some choices lead to their permanent deaths.
