Little Nightmares

The Little Nightmares franchise consists of three puzzle-platform games, Little Nightmares (2017), Very Little Nightmares (2019), and Little Nightmares 2 (2021). Whereas most puzzle-platform games feature mascot characters and wholesome visuals, Little Nightmares uniquely employs a horror aesthetic with disturbing visuals lurking around every dark corner.
