Summary
Piglet’s Big Game has taken the world by storm… more than 20 years since its launch. This unassuming little licenced game has become an online sensationafter it was labelled “baby’s first Silent Hill”, and after taking just a quick look at the gameplay, it’s easy to see why.
For some reason, one of the levels in Piglet’s Big Game is oddly terrifying. The music and aesthetics seem that they would be much more at home inSilent HillorResident Evilthan in aDisneygame. And as players explore this unlikely horror hit, it only gets worse: the game rewards you for harming Piglet.
Well, kind of. As spotted by content creator Flembons, Piglet moves faster after taking damage. This potentially means that the most optimal way to speedrun Piglet’s Big Game would be to keep the loveable Winnie the Pooh character on the brink of death so that he can run through the game faster.

Better yet, it seems that this isn’t just Piglet’s normal running animation sped up, but a new one altogether. This suggests that the devs very much threw this in on purpose. It’s likely there to help players get out of danger, but I’m also a fan of the fact that it makes Piglet look absolutely terrified, only adding to this secretly being a horror game.
If you want to pick up a copy of Piglet’s Big Game, you won’t be alone. Resellers have upped the price since there was a surge in demand, whichas we reported earlier in the week, has led to a price increase of 1,500 percent in some cases. However, that’s only because it was priced so low beforehand, and you can still find it at prices of around $60. Some are starting to push the boat out even more though, putting it up for more than $500 in one Ebay listing.
