Little more than a casual nightmare... In the scheme of things there's not really a lot to this game. A lack of explanation or any stories to define what's actually going on. Ultimately there's only the gameplay and the environment to focus upon. While neither of these aspects were terrible, there's very little to rave about either. The atmosphere of the game is likely the strongest point that anyone can point to, but to actually play through it leaves quite a bit to be desired. With only really two main aspects to play through, this is a game for the casual gamer and nothing more.

Don't expect any dialogue, monologues or anything that even resembles those two things. Little Nightmares is devoid of any of that. Even if those aspects could've offered more reason to want to play this. Gluttony is about the only message that's ever conveyed as well. Everything else is just a random interpretation that you make to try and justify the experience of this midget child. Anything at all to offer some additional details into what's going on would've likely helped this, but alas it was not meant to be.

Aesthetically, the game is interesting to ponder over, but that's all it really ends up being... pondering. A dark environment with some rather interesting creatures is the one bright spot this can point to as the strength of the game. There's nothing beyond this that will be a beacon in that darkness. The game revolved around a couple of mechanics that are good, but needed some real refinement. You'll sneak around, sneak some more, and then sneak again. Maybe solve a simple puzzle here or there but nothing that doesn't also involve sneaking around. The hiding aspect of the sneaking can be hit or miss at times, areas where a determined spot is required to hide or being seen while you're hiding happen here or there. It's not a defining aspect of the sequences, but it happens enough to be annoying.

That's about all there is to the game, congratulations you just beat Little Nightmares. Although one section where you run across a table of gluttonous fat bodies deserves special mention for being annoying. There's an invisible wall that prevents you from basically skipping the section as well which I'm never a fan of, how hard would it have been to put an actual obstacle in the way to prevent me from outsmarting the level design instead of, well, magic.

It's got a short runtime, with me taking my time with it I got completed in about three and a half hours. the ending sequence as well... apparently there was some magic left in that old silk hat you find. You suddenly become the anti-Christ with murder exuding from your very existence. It was all rather confusing.
