Little Nightmares is one of the most well-made video games I have ever played. The first time I ran into the game was when I was still in grade 4. I was scrolling through videos that I wanted to watch with my mum, and I saw a CoryXkenshin upload. He was playing a game called Little Nightmares. I watched the video and I was instantly sucked into the world of the game.
The game is basically set in a world swamped with water. In the massive ocean is a giant submarine called the maw. It is always submerged and has a chimney on top so it can disguise itself as a small island. You play as a character called Six, a small person wearing a yellow raincoat. You must survive inside the maw, escaping these giant inhabitants that will hunt you throughout the entirety of the game. The goal of the game is to get to the top of the submarine and escape.
Overall, it is a very surreal concept that probably took a lot of time to come up with. The art style and the story of the game are just super unique, and I just couldn’t find any games like that.
The second game is set on an island and is a prequel to the first game. It is mainly set in a place called Pale City and is even scarier than the first game, in my opinion. The chase scenes are tremendously gut-wrenching, and the music adds to the tension as well. The character design is strangely unsettling, and the fact that there is no dialogue is also creepy.
Little Nightmares 3 is coming out soon. Although a new company is continuing the series, I am excited to watch the world of Little Nightmares expand further. The studio that made the last two Little Nightmare games is making a new game called Reanimal which is so cool.
Little Nightmares stands out as a uniquely haunting and beautiful game. With the upcoming third instalment and exciting new projects like Reanimal, the world of Little Nightmares continues to captivate and expand its dark, surreal universe.
