The haunted buildings within the city make up most of Little Nightmares 2’s levels. The city’s population is controlled by a mysterious television broadcast that makes everyone almost entirely passive, but it’s the grotesque monsters that also inhabit the city that offer the biggest threat to Mono as he attempts to escape. Most of the game is set inside a dark and twisting city, where it seems to always be raining and always be nighttime. Players control Mono, a small, mouse-sized child exploring a regular-sized world full of monsters and dark secrets. Little Nightmares 2 is a horror puzzle-platformer developed by Tarsier Studios, the same studio behind the original Little Nightmares.
It’s in those small moments that Little Nightmares 2 is at its best and scariest. The most important moments in any horror game are in between the screams - the quiet stillness when a monster isn’t chasing you yet, but you know they will be soon.
