About
The Little Nightmares series has been captivating millions of players worldwide since 2017. Now it’s your turn to try to survive the first entry in most charming horror series ever made.
Take on the role of Six, a lone child lost in a massive metal vessel known as the Maw, surrounded by dangerous, distorted versions of adults. You’ll need to do your best to escape in one piece or your fate will be worse than you ever dared dream.
You wake up in a damp, dark room. Your sole possession is a brass lighter. You have no memory of how you got here, but it’s clear that you are in danger. Only your keen eyes and quick wits can get you out in one piece.
This world is not meant for children, but you can use your stature as an advantage with a bit of imagination. Climb drawers and shelves to find child-sized passageways through The Maw too tiny for the adults to reach and you’ll be safe… at least for a while.
The inhabitants of the Maw have only one use for children, and it’s never pretty. Children who don’t want to get caught should stay hidden and move carefully when they’re around. Under certain circumstances, a distraction might avert their attention long enough for you to scuttle away scott-free. Be careful, if you accidentally make too much noise, the Residents are quite determined once you’ve caught their eye.
Sometimes, there’s no other choice but to run. If you can stay alive long enough to get somewhere the Residents can’t reach you, you might survive.
Can you make it through the Maw to freedom? Six is counting on you. Good luck, little one.

The base game is great. The world, the atmosphere, the design of the enemies, the music, the small details… there isn’t a part I can say a bad word about. Unfortunately, in the DLC chapters I experienced exactly 1 crash per level. They were also fun to play (aside the final encounter of the first chapter, which I found to be annoying) but the uncertainty regarding the stability soured my mood while playing through it. So if you want to play the DLC too, be prepared for some potential junk.
wowwowowow when i picked up this game i didn't expect it to be anything impressive, my only impression of it was that it was kind of a puzzle game with horror aspects, but the storytelling is so good considering they speak no words.. incredibly well written and made game, 100% recommend playing
juego del bien es god
