Little Nightmares stumbles occasionally but never fatally. The moral of the story couldn't be clearer - or more effective. The janitor's blinded and wrinkled face, stubby legs, and unnaturally long, searching arms make him extremely unsettling, while the bloated forms of the guests - who will stop at nothing to shove Six into their ravenous mouths, even though piles of food lie all around them - are mindless gluttony made flesh. Her enemies, meanwhile, are as horrific as Six is lovable.

You'll desperately want her to survive the nightmare into which she's been dropped. She may be tiny and frail, but she's also courageous and determined. Little Nightmares' artistic direction is instantly arresting, creating a dark and foreboding world that almost feels as though it were pulled from a stop-motion animated film thanks to its constant attention to detail, sometimes jumpy animation, and occasional diorama-style perspective. If you enjoy dark, metaphorical games such as Limbo and Inside, chances are this eerie platformer will be right up your alley. To survive the terror of the Maw, she may need to resort to more drastic measures. As she makes her way through the ship, it becomes clear that Six is starving and at times lacks the energy to go on. Each new environment is a navigational puzzle involving running, jumping, climbing, and stealth that needs to be solved for Six to progress. The player's only option is to sneak around, ducking under tables and traveling through ducts to avoid the chefs, a monstrous janitor with terrifying arms, and rows of disgustingly greedy guests who never stop eating. Based on the dead bodies of other children she sees in cages - as well as a bloody kitchen where chefs viciously hack at mysterious hunks of meat - there's little doubt that being captured will result in her death.

Armed only with a lighter to help guide her through the ship's dark innards, she soon discovers that the Maw's crew will give chase and try to capture her should she be seen. In LITTLE NIGHTMARES, a macabre side-scrolling platformer, a young girl named Six wakes up in a suitcase on a strange ship called the Maw.
