The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope is a third-person survival horror game.

The player controls 4 students and a professor who accidentally found themselves in the abandoned town of Little Hope. Their bus got into an accident, and the driver disappeared without a trace. Trying to find him, they get into a scary adventure from which it is difficult to get out. The gameplay involves making decisions by selecting different dialogue options. Decisions affect the development of the plot, the relationship between the characters and the ending of the game.

In addition to the single-player mode, there are 2 options for the multiplayer game: a joint game by 2 players or a turn-based game in which each of the 5 players chooses a character and plays for him when it is his turn.
