About the story

Little Nightmares follows Six, a small, raincoat-clad child trapped in a mysterious underwater vessel called the Maw. The Maw is inhabited by grotesque, monstrous residents who prey on the helpless. As Six navigates through disturbing environments, she must solve puzzles and avoid being captured. The journey gradually reveals the dark and oppressive nature of the Maw and its inhabitants. Driven by hunger and desperation, Six’s actions ultimately reflect the cycle of predation within the world she inhabits.

The mobile transposition of Little Nightmares succeeds in enchanting us as if for the first time, the dark atmosphere reproduced in this key does full justice to one of the most popular horror films of recent years

The dark and sometimes pretty scary environments of Little Nightmares achieve to entertain throughout the three hour long story every minute. Highly intense chase scenes get mixed with nerve-wrecking moments, in which you have to sneak very carefully. Little Nightmares features great visuals with amazing animations and spot-on lighting. Fans of Limbo should definitely check it out.

Utterly terrifying and pants-wetting horror that must be experienced, even if the gameplay is a failure in most regards

Little Nightmares is a great adventure horror game that had me jumping me from start to finish. Although gameplay is not as long, it was the puzzles and challenges combined with the amazing illustrations that made this game worth playing (once you got over the long loading times and the fact that you may die very few minutes).

Tarsier Studios' unique take on horror is immersive and terrifying, and, barring some load time issues and small technical problems, finds a good home on the Switch.
