Hell is yourself.\u201d &#8211; Ludwig Wittgenstein<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It begins with a group of children looking down a hole. A boy in a hood, the remains of a hangman\u2019s noose around his neck, pilots a boat adrift at sea. I do not know where he has come from or where he is going or if he was one of the ones staring into that well\u2019s abyss. I only know the way forward. Red lights peak through the dark and fog. They are my compass, and I follow them. Buoys. Where they guide me, I do not know, but there is no other path. The ocean is so vast, and my boat is so small. For a time, I am alone. At the fourth buoy, the boy stops the boat and pulls aboard a girl. When he reaches for the hare mask covering her face, she pins him to the small outboard\u2019s wooden bottom, her hands ripping at his mask until he kicks her away. They stare at each other from opposite ends of the boat. It might as well be a chasm. \u201cI thought you were dead,\u201d the boy offers. \u201cWhere are the others?\u201d the girl asks. The boy doesn\u2019t know. She takes a lantern and stands at our boat\u2019s bow. The buoys are still our guide, but the girl lights the way forward. <\/p>\n<p>By the time I reach the end of Reanimal, the latest horror puzzle platformer from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/2017\/04\/26\/little-nightmares-review\">Little Nightmares<\/a> developer Tarsier, I have forgotten all of this, and lost track of what parts of this opening are most important. I am too busy trying to make meaning from what I have seen, too focused on trying to connect the pieces of Reanimal\u2019s puzzle, to understand how we got here. But stories, at least the good ones, the ones that know what they\u2019re doing, tell you what they\u2019re about from the beginning. And Reanimal is a very good story. Remember this, it tells you. Remember <em>all of this<\/em>. <\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"reanimal-official-launch-trailer\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>Together \u2013 I play the boy, my co-op partner plays the girl. There is no way to select who plays who; it simply works out this way \u2013 we sail through jagged cliffs, past mines larger than our boat, bisect a forest of jagged, barren trees. Then the banks of the river we have followed fade, and a large industrial building looms out of the fog ahead of us. It is a remarkable image in a game of remarkable images. Reanimal certainly knows how to set a scene. <\/p>\n<p>There is very little overt explanation.The boy and the girl are brother and sister, but this fact is never told to you. You learn it through the way they help each other up, comfort each other when things go wrong. Their relationship is something you experience, the questions largely left for you to answer. Why does she attack him after he fishes her out of the sea? What happened to them before they were in the boat? Reanimal unspools its story slowly, and asks you to fill in the gaps yourself. To remember what you\u2019ve seen, to put together the imagery, the symbols, notice patterns in the shapes throughout its world. I\u2019m unsure of what they\u2019re after until we find another child separated from us by steel bars blocking a drain pipe. \u201cYou came back,\u201d he whispers. \u201cI knew you would. You should leave\u2026 while you still can.\u201d But we don\u2019t. The girl\u2019s earlier question is the answer to mine. We are here to save the others. Our friends.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"quoteBox\">Reanimal can be played alone, but it&#8217;s more meaningful to take the journey with someone else.<\/section>\n<p>We navigate broken buildings, push through dark forests, leap across gaps, crouch into places only a child can fit. Often, we need to work together. The world is so big, and we are so small. It takes two of us to lift a metal trapdoor. I hold a lever to still a rotating metal shaft so my partner can pilot the girl across. On the other side, she knocks down a piece of wood so I can cross a gap. Reanimal is simple, elegant. You walk, run, jump, interact with and carry objects, boost one another to ledges neither of you can reach alone, and occasionally fight off foes in the clumsy way a child might. Little distinguishes the boy from the girl, save that she can attach her lantern to her hip while carrying something else. The boy\u2019s lighter, on the other hand, is only usable if his hands are free. It\u2019s a subtle distinction, but an important one, and my partner and I often made significant choices about who would do what based on how much light it would cost us, and whether we felt we could sacrifice it. <\/p>\n<p>Reanimal can be played alone, but I found it more meaningful to take the journey with someone else, to coordinate and work together, to congratulate ourselves on our success and discuss our failures before trying again. Like the boy and the girl on screen, we are experiencing this together. Like them, we are not alone. That subtle distinction \u2013 of working with a living, breathing person \u2013 made it much better than it would have been had I spent the whole experience with a computer-controlled girl who always did exactly what she was supposed to. That\u2019s not what this story is about, and I am deeply grateful that, in an era which has largely abandoned local co-op, Reanimal offers it.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"slideshow\" data-slug=\"reanimal-switch-2-screenshots\" data-value=\"reanimal-switch-2-screenshots\" data-type=\"slug\" data-caption=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>Both Reanimal\u2019s gameplay and the choices it offers are satisfying, but simple. It is less a game you play and more a world you move through and experience without the obvious artifice of a video game. There is no HUD, no meters, no minimap. The camera is often fixed to show you exactly what Tasier wants you to see, and the sense of visual composition here is remarkable. Even horror can be beautiful when framed the right way. Often, the answers to the gameplay questions Reanimal presents are obvious \u2013 though not less satisfying for it \u2013 and the only way forward, though occasionally we get lost. What carries us ahead are not the puzzles themselves, but the desire to see what\u2019s next. If you are expecting great leaps from the studio\u2019s work on the first two Little Nightmares, you will not find it here, and I\u2019m not bothered by that. You don\u2019t return to your favorite restaurant angry the menu hasn\u2019t changed, and here the chef is a master of his craft.<\/p>\n<p>The environment is not our only obstacle. We start to notice the horrors as we search for the missing wheels to a handcar. A body leans against a wall, its belly a gaping hole left by something that forced its way out \u2013 or in. A plunger applied to a clogged toilet reveals a key and the deformed, deflated skin of what was once, perhaps, a man; his features are off, deformed, his face caught between that of a person and a pig.<\/p>\n<p>What we\u2019re up against isn\u2019t obvious until we come across the second of the wheels we need for the handcart, and the man\/animal skins around us come to life, slithering after us like snakes. We do the only thing we can do: we run. It gets worse from there; the first living human we encounter is impossibly tall, his face a Halloween mask of sagging skin, empty eye sockets, a maw that is always open. He skitters after us like a spider, biting our heads off if he catches us. He is not the worst of it; not even close. We spend most of Reanimal running from something. I don\u2019t want to say more. These are terrors you really should see for yourself. <\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"user-list\" data-id=\"92565\" data-slug=\"wills-favorite-puzzle-games\" data-nickname=\"edgarallanbro\"><\/section>\n<p>But I can say this: the place the boy and girl have returned to is wrong. There is a theory that hell is the worst moments of your life, replayed over and over again, without ceasing, simultaneously something you recognize and fresh at the same time. What does it say that the boy and girl have seemingly returned here by choice after having escaped? \u201cI told you to leave,\u201d the boy we encountered tells us later. Or are they all trapped here, together, in a hell we can\u2019t leave? Only one thing is certain: we are off the edge of the map. Here be dragons.<\/p>\n<p>As we continue, the world opens up to us. We navigate dark forests, the flooded ruins of cities, active warzones, and until the end, whatever shattered this place is only partially clear. Our journey is only partially linear. Returning to the boat allows us to explore, to explore this flooded place and find what lies off the beaten path. It is here that Reanimal is most obviously a video game, rewarding the curious with new masks, collectible concept art, and so on, but it never feels out of place or forced, and doesn\u2019t detract from the atmosphere. Nor does the occasional replay of a chase sequence because you don\u2019t initially know what to do or where to go, which is enough to spell your end. Reanimal\u2019s atmosphere, its art, its sense of place and character and mystery carry the day at every turn, through the odd confusion, annoyance, or visual bug. It compelled us to see it through to the end, to understand the tale it was trying to tell in its roughly six-hour journey through hell. I think I understand. But I know there is much we missed, and I want to return to see it through, and see what, if anything, changes as a result.<\/p>\n\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHell is not other people.
