Heavily inspired by Limbo and Inside, Little Nightmares are telling a story of another lost child. Six is a starving little girl in a yellow raincoat, which is trapped in a mysterious vessel named the Maw. Players are taking control of Six’s movement, in order to help her escape the ship and dangerous inhabitants, that’s been kidnaping and preparing children to be served as a feast for the Guests.
The control scheme is not including any combat moves, leaving players defenseless against any threat. Six can run, crawl, climb, push or pull, and in rare cases carry an object she can throw to stagger an enemy or solve a puzzle. The game gives players the ability to carry a lighted match at any time, inviting players to explore and search for the collectible statues.
Little Nightmares have 3 DLC levels, expanding the game beyond the perspective of Six, where the Runaway Kid, a young boy, who is trying to catch up to Six and having his own adventure, going through the Maw in the extra chapters, named “The Depths”, “The Hideaway” and “The Residence.”

Little Nightmares is a puzzle-platform horror adventure game developed by Tarsier Studios and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. Set in a mysterious world, it follows the journey of Six, a hungry little girl who must escape the Maw, an underwater vessel inhabited by monstrous beings. The game was released in April 2017 for PlayStation 4, Windows and Xbox One. A Nintendo Switch version was released in May 2018, followed by a Google Stadia version in June 2020. Mobile versions were released in December 2023 and published by Playdigious. An upgraded version of the game, titled Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition, was released in 2025.
