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.

indie korku oyunu olarak çok iyiydi gerçekten geren bir atmosferi var, kesinlikle öneriyorum
Consigue muy bien dar mal rollo y tiene buena historia. Y el DLC es literalmente como un juego aparte, eso si [spoiler]jamás me recuperare después del final del DLC[/spoiler]
etrange jeu rempli de malice ainsi que d'huile moteur servant a illuminer des serviettes
很不错的闯关游戏,紧张又刺激,音乐氛围也不错。
Esse jogo é bem assustador, eu me caguei jogando ele.
не, это пизда, вы заебали, он достает меня абсолютно везде своими дурацкими вермешелями, а не руками, а бегает быстрее данька ска с такими же ногами
Игра очень интересная, сначала ты думаешь: " Почему игра называется Little Nightmares?" (в переводе с английского "Маленькие кошмары"), потому что в игре нам приходится прятаться от больших людей (если их можно так назвать), но под конец ты начинаешь догадываться, что главный "маленький кошмар" это и есть существо (возможно человек) в желтом дождевике. По головоломкам и геймплею игра неплохая, но можно было и добавить что-то еще. Если опираться на песню Ильи MZLFF, то он поет о том, что иногда дружить надо даже со своими кошмарами. Нет смысла кого-то убивать, если можно приручить и быть вместе. 8/10
Llore.... Es una historia tan increíble lleno de traición y terror, dios mío que increíble juego e increíble lore

[b]Little Nightmares is an amazing horror masterpiece.[/b] That doesn't mean it's perfect. There are some janky physics and frustrating glitches. Some puzzles or sections are a bit annoying to complete, since you'll have to die a ton of times until you figure out how to get through. But, with the bad stuff out of the way, this is an iconic 3rd person horror game. You view the world as if the characters were in some sort of "dollhouse", and you're looking from the outside. The controls and movement are decent, but sometimes the perspective can play tricks on you. There are puzzles, platforming, stealth and monster chases, and some mixes of these types of sections too. The artstyle and graphics are really good. The atmosphere is creepy and the sound design helps a lot with it. The music is pretty good, it sounds "childish" in a creepy way. The monsters' design and sounds are very gross and they really do a great job with being memorable threats. Your character, a girl named "Six", has an interesting story, that you'll have to see for yourself. The overall story of the game is very mysterious and raises a lot of questions, some of which are never answered. Now, it's a bit annoying to be left with so many doubts about what the story is about, but it's still quite enjoyable. It's kinda short, if you know what you're doing. But if you want more, you can always get the [url=store.steampowered.com/app/640920/Little_Nightmares__Secrets_of_The_Maw_Expansion_Pass/]DLC[/url]. But I highly recommend playing the base game first, to get the best out of its story. Overall, this is a very fun game, I love it a lot, despite all its flaws. It's one of those game worlds that, sometimes, I just want to revisit and play again.
