The biggest issue with Little Hope AND Man of Medan stems from the concept of the Curator. These games shouldn’t be stories that aren’t really supernatural in the end. Until Dawn was so good because it was a horror game. It had real supernatural events. It wasn’t some weird mysterious story being told to us by some obscure narrator. I don’t want all the horror events to be due to some hallucinatory chemical (Man of Medan) and I definitely don’t want to be told that all the events occurred in some schizophrenic’s imagination(Little Hope). Little Hope is a horror game without any real horror. The jump scares are lame and repetitive. The atmosphere doesn’t engage you and make you feel nervous. And the actual story of the game is just that, a story. None of it is real and that takes away from the horror of the game in my opinion.

Unnatural and corny dialogue ruins what would otherwise be a good movie. The talent is there but the writing isn’t.

Exceptional performances from Jennifer Garner and Martin Henderson. I'm not known to be a very sensitive person but this movie really moved me when I was at a point in my life where I lacked faith in God. It really pushes the message that the natural order of chaos and bad luck can be mended by God into something favorable if you stick with him and have the faith the size of a mustard seed (with which you can move mountains - Matthew 17:20). Great movie for any Christians out there but obviously everyone else will despise it like the faithless post-modern progressives at Rotten Tomatoes.

Can we please drop the main character barely speaks narrative. The game becomes so bland when the protagonist barely speaks or responds to people. It’s just lazy writing at this point. That’s the only reason I’m giving it three stars. Otherwise, the rest of the game is pretty decent.
