Little Nightmares is a puzzle/platformer with a strong emphasis on atmosphere. It plays like a LIMBO or INSIDE only with the ability to move in three dimensions rather than strictly side to side. You control a small humanoid creature that has to complete puzzles and avoid giant half-human/half-monsters in order to progress. The puzzles mostly revolve around climbing things like giant, monster-sized furniture, or collecting things to distract the monsters in order to slip by. These scenarios are never spectacular and usually require a fair amount of trail and error. Aesthetically speaking, Little Nightmares is WIERD. The creatures that inhabit this world are disgustingly grotesque, and the atmosphere is spooky and on point. It’s a short 2-3 hour game that could have used a another chapter (especially considering the final chapter is pretty short already) and I would’ve liked to see a little less abrupt deaths.
