Whenever danger is near you can feel Six’s heart beating through the Joy-Con pulsing. The music sits perfectly, becoming more intense as the drama and danger spikes. Smartly you can’t stretch past an open door either.Īdding to the atmosphere are a couple of classic tricks from the horror world. You can’t peek around corners or use it to your advantage beyond seeing more of the rooms within. With the right stick you can pan horizontally and vertically. It’s like you’re watching a diorama of a childhood nightmare (though the subtext feels very adult). The cells that you move between are collections of rooms, swaying from side-to-side through a disturbing dream-like lens that effectively places you in Six’s world. You discover black leeches waiting to launch out and attack you, legs hanging from the ceiling out of shot and a giant, grotesque human who pursues you.
The first hour of playing is a tour of what initially appears to be a sad childhood home. In some areas everything was almost completely black because of the ambient light and glare. I tried to play the game in a café and just became frustrated as, despite turning the game and console brightness up to max, I simply couldn’t make out the detail that is in the darkness. Unfortunately this doesn’t translate well to handheld mode on the Switch. Each set of rooms or cells in the game is lit in a beautiful, macabre fashion that gently scratches at your insecurities. The first time you start the game you’re asked to calibrate the brightness to the right level – a feature that really is essential here. Her only tool is a pocket lighter that helps you to light up otherwise dark areas of the screen. Her face is always facing the ground leaving you projecting your emotions and feelings onto her. It’s a dark cell in which there is no respite from the gloominess that pervades throughout Six’s worlds.
Rather than just a simple re-issue of a game though, the Switch edition is the “complete edition” including all of the released DLC.Īs the game begins you find your little hero, Six, waking up in a luggage case from a glimpse of a nightmare. Little Nightmares falls squarely into the latter category. The goal of this web optimized port is to make FNF and this mod more accessible to players that can’t otherwise play it on their potatoes PC, on a Chromebook, on their Mac, on their Linux, or simply can’t run the EXE files on their computer.The Nintendo Switch’s first year has been an interesting assortment of new releases and re-issues of games on other platforms.
