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.

Reviews
At its core, the game is a mix of puzzle-solving, platforming, and stealth. You are completely defenseless, so when a monster spots you, your only option is to run and hide. The controls can feel a bit clunky at times, especially flashlight in the dlc ;-;
Самые лучшие маленькие кошмарики с самым лучшим гг,
Really awesome classic horror game
There might be some frustrating moments where either the controls fail you (e.g. constantly falling off ledges / somehow not grabbing things you wanted to grab) or there is too little indication of what you're supposed to do. Hand-holding is something this game does not do. Otherwise, this is a great atmospheric horror puzzle game that really knows how to set the mood and immerse you in its world. Do know that this is one of those games where having a decent understanding of the story comes really hard even if you finish it.
Muy buen juego. La ambientación es increíble, hace que por partes realmente te sientas incómodo y quieras escapar de la situación. Es un juego corto para sumergirse y pasarse un buen rato.
The vibes are just great
很好玩
Once I figured out what a carpet was I was good.
Controls kinda annoying but puzzels are great and so is the atmosphere
