A must buy 9/10

Wolfbanesons

Little Nightmares is a 3d person horror puzzle sorting game for teenagers in my opinion but good for a slightly younger audience. Graphics are great and not too difficult to play. The soundtrack is perfect for this title. The story is about a little girl trapped in a dungeon (the Maw) trying to escape the monsters that inhabit it. Game length is quite good and not to long either. The more the story goes you learn about this girl and her power. Game is very captivating and keeps wanting for more.

Solid gameplay, amazing design

Ben
Verified purchase
This game is practically the epitome of form before function; it plays fine, I have no real complaints, but that barely matters. Instead, it's dripping with atmosphere, with character, environment, and sound design all making a world that digs deep into your hindbrain and makes you remember the horror of being a small child in a large world. It then cranks that up to 11. If you like different horror experiences, you absolutely owe it to yourself to try this game.
