Getting Bigger is a survival horror game that arrived on PC in mid-2022. Recent coverage has positioned it as a counterpoint to industry trends toward escalating scope and spectacle in AAA releases. While major sequels continue expanding their ambitions with increasingly bloated features and setpieces, this title took the opposite approach - critics note that its design philosophy of restraint ultimately resulted in a more focused and effective experience. The game appears to have resonated with players fatigued by the maximalist design philosophy dominating big-budget releases.
