Reanimal
Reanimal is a 2026 co-op horror adventure developed by Tarsier Studios, the studio behind Little Nightmares, and published by THQ Nordic. After escaping from a monstrous 'House', two orphaned siblings, the Boy and the Girl, return to the twisted island where they grew up to rescue their three missing friends and face the terror that waits there. Playable solo with an AI companion or as two-player co-op, it blends stealth, evasion, and light-based survival with a shared directed camera engineered for claustrophobia and tension.

Key Systems
- Two-Player Co-op Horror: The Boy and the Girl are each controlled by a player, with a shared, directed camera engineered to maximize claustrophobia and tension; the game is fully playable solo with an AI companion and supports local and online two-player co-op.
- Light as a Defensive Resource: The children carry scarce sources of light that ward off the dark and power certain interactions, so rationing and routing light is central to survival and progression.
- Collaborative Abilities: The siblings combine strengths, using a rope to bundle and haul items and to help each other through locks, climbs, and traversal sequences that neither can complete alone.
- Stealth-Evasion Platforming: Direct confrontation is discouraged; players evade, hide, and slip past the island's monstrous inhabitants through tense platforming and environmental puzzles.
- Chaptered Story Locations: The campaign unfolds across distinct chaptered locations, from the storm-tossed opening waters and an abandoned mill to a blood-soaked cleaning house and the final confrontation with the Sheep Beast.
