Very Little Nightmares

This game is a fantastic small adaptation of our of favorite game of 2017, “Little Nightmares”. But BEWARE, the controls can be quite irritating depending on the type of gamer you can be; if you’re impatient and like to be speedy tapping left or right of the screen proves to be quite trivial, but if your’e patient and slow I doubt you’ll notice this as a problem. The puzzles are fair and are similar on the level of the original game’s difficulty of puzzle-solving, though near the end of the game some of the puzzles can be quite dubious which personally led to some frustrating moments, (specifically something involving a piano and 5 portraits). In terms of the canonicity, without spoiling much, this seems to be completely separate from the main game. While it helps to be familiar with Tarsier’s world of Little Nightmares, there’s no need to HAVE to play the prior title to enjoy this one (though it’s HIGHLY recommended that you do)... For actual fans, I think the game does a good job at supplementing some new theories. All in all, the game works well, the environments are well done, and as a fan of the first game you should definitely check this title out.

Very little nightmares is a good game with a few flaws. First off the sound track is really good, the art style is loyal to the first little nightmares, and for a mobile game it is a very fun experience. The flaws keep it from being perfect tho. First off I witnessed some game breaking up bugs like in the second to last level wouldn’t allow me to move no matter where I tapped causing me to die, “This happened a few times”. And some enemies you weren’t supposed to interact with would be stuck in place and you could walk on top of them. SPOILER WARNING: At the end of the game it’s revealed that you were not playing as six but as someone else. The reason I bring this up is because I have a personal complaint, I wanted to see how six got on to the maw and where she came from, while we do see a little of that, it’s very vague. And the story adds more questions than answers like how do the kids get to nest, and who are these new enemies you fight and why are they doing the things they are doing. But over all it was a fun experience and it is worth the money.

So little nightmares is one of my favorite games on the planet. I’ve played both the original and the DLCs and I love them. I think this game is a great addition to the series and I like that it can be played on mobile. I love this game but it is a bit glitchy. My main problem is crashing. Every now and then the game would freeze and then crash. Then when I reloaded it, I would be started back a level or two. But then the main problem is that when I got to the end of the trash level and I was climbing up the ladder, the game froze and crashed but i tried to start it up again, every time I pressed play it would just crash again so I couldn’t play the game. I tried deleting things off my phone but it didn’t help. I ended up having to restart the ENTIRE GAME. That was really annoying, but other than that I love this game and I would enjoy any others made, just please fix the bugs.

This is a fun little game. I have never played the original little nightmares so I didn’t have any background in terms of the overall story line but that isn’t needed and this story is definitely independent. The controls can be frustrating. Wish they would have adjusted for landscape view as I think this would have elevated many of the problems. As for the second to last level, I seem to be stuck at the crossing of the bridge with the small tree. I get half way across and fall off every time. I’ve tried to slow down, I’ve tried nonstop running, I’ve tried clicking all across the tree. Nothing seems to be working and it is quite frustrating. Not sure if this is a glitch or if I am doing something wrong.

Little nightmares is already one of my favorite games, so imagine my surprise when an app comes out. I thought it would be generally good, but when I actually played it I was hit with an experience I will soon not forget. It plays somewhat like Monument Valley, but without the optical illusions of course. The puzzles are stronger in this game than in the original, and manages to be different enough that it does not feel like the same game. In some aspects, I actually found this one more disturbing than the original, but to be fair, I have played the original well over a dozen times so the scare factor did die. It is always nice to have a game to pull out and play, and this game would be a great companion for a long car ride.
