Little Hope is the second instalment in the Dark Pictures Anthology. Set in a small abandoned town in rural Massachusetts, a group of college students and their professor find themselves trapped. While being pursued by grotesque beings from the towns dark history and coming face to face with their doppelgangers, the gang must unravel the mysteries of Little Hope and find a way out.
I was part of the core team involved with bringing Little Hope from pre-production to final release. Using the studio modified version of Unreal Engine 4 and their proprietary visual scripting language, I delivered levels from storyboard to final, while also producing the games core narrative and gameplay beats.
