About this game
Little Nightmares Complete Edition follows Six's attempt to escape the Maw, a giant vessel whose spaces dwarf her. Explore the surroundings, use available objects and work out mechanisms to overcome obstacles. Dangerous inhabitants make hiding, sneaking and running part of finding a way forward, while light helps you navigate the dark. This edition includes the base game and Secrets of The Maw. The expansion follows the Runaway Kid through a parallel escape story across The Depths, The Hideaway and The Residence. Together, the two stories put different captive children at the centre of journeys through the same vessel, combining environmental puzzles with the need to evade its inhabitants.
Collected in series
Little Nightmares makes ordinary rooms and familiar places frightening by seeing them from a tiny protagonist’s perspective. Its unsettling adventures combine environmental puzzles, hiding and escape, with looming figures and disturbing details telling much of the story.
