I’m excited to watch others play and panic the way I did. You constantly feel like a crippled gazelle limping around a lion’s den. Little Nightmares could use better pacing, perhaps more build-up in the first chapter, but even in its calmer moments it retains your interest with its macabre world and simple yet goosebumps-inducing gameplay. Not once did it actually crash, nor did I encounter any glitches. There were many instances of the game suddenly blacking out, necessitating some alt+tab gymnastics to get back in, but I believe that had more to do with the shared account I was using to review it rather than the game itself. Some tense music does play when you are being chased, but it feels appropriate and drives home the feeling of “yes, it’s coming after you, so you better run!”Įven on my ancient 5850 this game essentially ran flawlessly on the highest settings. Those sounds make every move significant, since any wrong step or knocked-over vase can spell your doom. Most of the game either lacks music or uses subtle ambiance, which puts a focus on the environment sounds such as the footsteps, floor creaking, breathing, and falling objects. The purpose of those lanterns elude me, as they are not save points or checkpoints. Finally, you can light a small flame to enhance your vision a bit and light candles or lanterns. In order to climb or hang onto things, you must continually press the same hold button or else you will fall. You can hold small objects and throw them, or push/pull larger ones. Our hero, named Six, can sprint (there is a hidden stamina meter causing you slow down after running too much), single jump, crouch, and hold. The camera is oriented in a side-scroller manner, but you can move freely around in the 3D environment. There is no HUD, no items, nor any means of combat. One unlocks concept art, and the other slightly affects the ending and I believe unlocks masks. There are some secrets to find and two forms of collectibles. As such it unfortunately makes for a bit of a slow start, but luckily Tarsier usually leaves you to figure out the mechanics on your own through gameplay rather than a barrage of explanatory text boxes. The first serves as a tutorial, introducing all the game mechanics. Little Nightmares is divided up into five chapters, each of which has its own gameplay focus. She almost gives up hope before a certain boy with a paper bag mask finds her.At around just seven or eight hours, the journey through the Maw is a relatively short one, but doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. Six is separated from the group and finds herself in the clutches of the Hunter. After bringing down the Maw, Six and my OCs travel to the Mainland, unaware of what lies ahead.
