Little Nightmares has a part 2 on PC and console, but for mobile we have only enjoyed Very Little Nightmare, the mobile version of the original game that didn’t have everything as expected. Now everything is different. Puzzle enthusiasts, listening to Little Nightmares for a long time can officially play this game on mobile in its entirety. You can experience the full story, content and features. The graphics are as good as the console version.
Introduce about Little Nightmares
This Indie game makes you haunted in your mind
If there is a game that makes you play but still have to Google everything to decipher the layers of meaning of every detail inside, it is Little Nightmares. Not the dreamy surrealism like Layer of Fears, nor the confrontation with any terrifying force like Resident Evil. Little Nightmares is simply a small dream, a cute helpless obsession that anyone who has finished playing has to ponder and think.
Little Nightmares is an Indie horror puzzle game made by Tarsier Studios, available on PC since 2017. After that, the game was born on a series of other console platforms. And from that very first day, the game has quickly become an Indie icon with deep ideas, many layers of complex meanings that many players admire. Many people think that Little Nightmares is the game version of Spirited Away. I don’t think so. Little Nightmares is clearly dark, horror, despair, can make you more exhausted than a thousand times.
Exhaustion here is not because it is too scary but because of the thoughts and reflections in yourself when watching the game progress. The in-game story, if I say it’s simple, isn’t true. But to say it’s complicated, it’s not too tricky. Compared to the famous timeloops or parallel world games, it’s nothing. However, each metaphor, the hidden meaning in each scene, and the meaning of the actions of each character, both the way of shaping the villains and the boss of Little Nightmares will make you confused and restless.
Imagine that in the same game, there are elements of domestic violence, betrayal, serial killers, friendship, loneliness, time loop, sick mind… with a series of games. unpredictable episodes like Little Nightmares, how high is the level of sophistication. Talking too much, but for me, until now, Little Nightmares is still the ultimate horror game.
Journey out of childhood obsession
To start with Little Nightmares, I will not talk about the story. Because this is the pure gold reward that you will get when you reach the end of the game (if you play part 2, it will be even more complete). I choose to talk about the context, so that you can imagine somewhat the gloomy material, and the horror from the mind of this little game.
You will play the role of Six (even the name has a meaning, guys). Six is a small girl, rarely showing her face but only hiding in a yellow raincoat that stands out against the dark screen. The yellow raincoat has both a visual effect and is associated with some famous cases. If you don’t believe it, you can search for information on Google.
Six, for some unknown reason, upon awakening, found herself trapped on a large ship called The Maw. The horror is that this place is full of deadly monsters, no, it’s more like to say cannibal monsters. Each can be considered a boss of a room on the ship. Go through this room, kill a monster, you will continue to another room and continue to wait for the next series of challenges.
To face the boss in each room, you will have to explore, answer and overcome many puzzles, challenging the difficult environment in that room. Six is not a character with special powers or anything, so most players only have a few basic skills such as walking, running, jumping, launching, climbing, hiding. After playing a lot, you will have some new skills. However, the road that Six goes through will make you constantly choke with suspense.
Compared to the objects, and the monster present in this ship, Six is just a tiny girl. The limp of this size itself also makes for a lot of interesting environmental puzzle situations in the game. Not to mention the variety of difficulty types from the monster’s minions, from the dark atmosphere, and the surrounding clues. All of them gather to spin you like a pinwheel, but the progress is always unexpected, unpredictable, logical, and highly seamless. I believe, you will be glued to the screen constantly.
Most of the monsters in The Maw have a special figurative character. You may find them bizarre, you may find them not bloody but have been in many other horror games, but make sure everyone gets chills and goosebumps when confronting the monsters of Little Nightmares. Because they are the embodiment of damaged souls, of fears and obsessions from the dark childhood past of the little Six character. Finding a way to escape from The Maw, overcoming a bunch of crazy bosses in this game, is also helping Six find a way out and be able to cope with her own obsession.
That journey, sometimes at the expense of sweat, blood and tears.
On mobile, will Little Nightmares still retain its inherent charm?
It is known that the developer took a long time to tweak many things before deciding to bring Little Nightmares to mobile. If you have played this game on other platforms, you probably already know that it is quite space-consuming, because the graphics are too elaborate. Not to mention, the game also has a series of actions that are sometimes stealthy, sometimes surprisingly high-speed. The challenge for the developer is to come up with the right tweaks while keeping the integrity of the game, as well as all of the original content.
The game also features a self-backup of achievements at the Game Center. Therefore, you can play on iCloud and completely share your progress on different mobile devices. In addition, Little Nightmares mobile version is also compatible with MFi controllers. With this set of supporting features, above all, keeping the original content, progression, and the original story intact, along with the graphic tweaks, maintaining the captivating sound, what more can I say. Little Nightmares has done a great job in its role on mobile.

If you ask Little Nightmares is it worth playing? My answer must be emphasized 3 times, yes yes yes. You will find a lot of your childhood obsessions here. When you go with Six to find a way out for her soul, sometimes it is also for you to overcome many of your phobias.
