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.

enjoyable puzzles, got the game and dlcs for 8 bucks and it was a good 8 bucks worth of my time
Piękna gierka, wspaniały klimat i wielka przyjemność z grania! Polecam
good
Rigiocato dopo tanti anni, rimane un capolavoro del suo genere. Atmosfera immersiva, gameplay intuitivo, semplice e divertente. Trama da interpretare ma godibile soprattutto dopo aver completato i DLC.
Jogo muito bonito com uma atmosfera de terror simples e 'inocente', mas muito bem montado, criando um clima de tensão constante. A jogabilidade é simples e sem muitas mecânicas, porém isso te faz focar mais na dinâmica estratégica das fases. Algumas sequências são mais banais, mas outras te fazem ter que parar pra pensar no que você precisa fazer, o que o torna bem intrertivo. A história por trás é bem construida no pouco que conta (mesmo sem diálogos) enquanto você vai vendo as diferentes ações dos antagonistas. Inclusive, possui um plot twist beeem interessante no final. - 9/10
fun :D
This game says a lot without a single word! Loved to play it.

Little Nightmares é um dos melhores jogos de puzzle que eu já joguei atualmente, ele é excelente em mostrar a história sem dizer uma única palavra, possuindo puzzles únicos, difíceis e divertidos de se fazer sem pegar na sua mão na hora de resolver. Recomendo!
Willkommen zu meiner Rezension von Little Nightmares I, zuerst muss ich sagen das ich kein wirklicher Horror fan bin obwohl ich schon Spiele wie Fnaf oder Poppy Playtime gespielt habe. Ich bin wie ich fest gestellt habe kein fan von Jumpscares und First Person, deswegen mag ich Little Nightmares sehr, weil es allgemein keine Jumpscares enthält und 2D ist. Das bedeutet allerdings überhaupt nicht das das Spiel langweilig oder nicht gruselig ist. Im Gegenteil, es ist viel düsterer als Fnaf oder Poppy Playtime und meiner Meinung nach spannender da man nie weiß was im nächsten Raum auf einen wartet. Das Gameplay ist gut, nur leicht schwierig manchmal. Die Story ist auch sehr gut und es ist interessant im laufe des Spiels mehr von der Story zu erfahren bzw. zu sehen. Die Grafik ist auch sehr schön und die Raum Gestaltung im ganzen Spiel ist Top. Der einzige negative Punkt ist, das das Spiel etwas zu kurz war meiner Meinung nach. Nach 3,5 bzw. 4 Stunden mit trödeln war es schon vorbei leider. Insgesamt ein großartiges Spiel und ich bin Positiv überrascht und froh das ich es endlich mal gespielt habe. Bewertung: 9/10 Und ich hoffe das die Dlc's und das zweite Spiel mir auch Spaß machen werden. (Danke fürs Lesen)
