Description
The Bad Things Happen To Small Children sub-genre is currently in a period of growth. Following last year's inventively bleak Inside, Little Nightmares similarly presents a young protagonist being killed over and over again by monsters and environmental hazards against a grim backdrop. Even that young chap in the upcoming Rime is being harassed by a gigantic bird. These kids just can't catch a break.
Playing as a child evokes a natural sense of helplessness, of course, which is particularly useful in a horror game. In Little Nightmares, you play a small girl called Six who's trapped on The Maw, a gigantic vessel of damned souls, where everyone is clamouring desperately for their next mealincluding you. Tarsier previously worked on PlayStation's LittleBigPlanet series, and a lot of that platformer-puzzler DNA carries across. This is a side-scroller, but you move around in a 3D space, pulling objects around to help you reach switches or new areas.
