The lack of light and colour on anything but the odd candle emphasises the game’s lonely, oppressive feeling. Mysterious monsters and skulking creatures litter the strange landscape, where light is a scarcity and the threat of imminent death or capture lurks around every corner. It’s a neurotically created, horrifyingly dark fairytale world where no detail has been overlooked.
LITTLE NIGHTMARES 2 CHAPTERS FULL
The Tim Burton inspiration is immediately obvious with Mono and Six being forced to run through a world full of misshapen giant humanoid monsters that look like R-Rated versions of the Corpse Bride and The Nightmare Before Christmas characters.
The world is one of the most horrifying I’ve seen and been forced to navigate since that of Silent Hill 2. While this doesn’t sound that original, or different to Limbo, where Little Nightmares once again exceeds expectation is the sheer amount of terror and fear it instils in you. The primary way you solve puzzles is by grabbing, pulling or throwing objects within the hostile world. The only initial difference is that for specific sections you will have the help of Six, the protagonist of the original game, as both an AI companion, and person to protect.Īt its core this means gameplay is fairly familiar, with the game being split into linear chapters and sections, each containing a mix of puzzle solving, platforming and set piece events. It sees you take the role of Mono, a tiny child, as you navigate him through a hostile world full of dangerous monsters eager to capture or eat you.
Like the original, Little Nightmares 2 wears its Limbo inspiration on its sleeve.
