It takes two (consoles). When the original Little Nightmares was released in 2017, it won praise for its fresh take on puzzle platforming horror. Its sequel upped the scare factor even further, earning critical acclaim while deepening the series’ mythos. With a new developer at the helm of its threequel, the question on everyone’s minds…
Turn-based games are not my forte—I’m far too impatient to plot out my next three moves ahead of time—but I’m always tempted to try them out, especially when there’s the promise of a retro 32-bit horror game. House of Necrosis is just that, a turn-based horror game reminiscent of the old-school ones I grew up…
