Horror in a dark world
Little Nightmares came out on Steam On April 28, 2017. The horror puzzle-platformer adventure game receives very positive rating with 88% out of 7,000 good reviews. Though the game is priced at $19.99, pretty high for a Steam game, Little Nightmares managed to create a decent fanbase.
Little Nightmares is a 3D graphics horror game. The game manifests its horror factor through the eerie characters and atmosphere. You play as a little character to escape a mysterious realm where corrupted creatures lurk.
Another chapter
This time Bandai Namco came back with another sequel to replicate the success they had with Little Nightmares. More specifically, Little Nightmares 2 will come out in 2020 on PS4, Xbox One, PC Digital, and Switch.
The sequel, Little Nightmares 2 will push you into another dark world where light is scarce. You play as another tiny character with a paper bag mask on. The familiar yellow coated character from the first game also tags along. She will act as your companion to guide you through the puzzles in your journey. However, I doubt our little friend would be of much help
Also, the trailer revealed some horror factors. The dark sky brings an eerie atmosphere with a feeling of somewhat a post-apocalypse. A female figure with a ruler in the hand seems to be a nurse in some orphanage. She was confronting our main character. It is likely she is some boss we have to defeat.
However, as the developers revealed, the game won’t feature any violence. It is a puzzle game after all, what is the point if we have to solve everything by force.
The release date for Little Nightmares 2 has yet to be announced.
