About

Little Nightmares follows Six, a small, raincoat-clad child trapped in a mysterious underwater vessel called the Maw. The Maw is inhabited by grotesque, monstrous residents who prey on the helpless. As Six navigates through disturbing environments, she must solve puzzles and avoid being captured. The journey gradually reveals the dark and oppressive nature of the Maw and its inhabitants. Driven by hunger and desperation, Six’s actions ultimately reflect the cycle of predation within the world she inhabits.

AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Inside

Like Little Nightmares, Inside plunges you into a dark, oppressive world as a small, vulnerable protagonist, using environmental puzzles and stealth to convey a chilling, wordless narrative.

91% Match

Limbo

Before Inside, there was Limbo, offering an equally bleak and atmospheric puzzle-platformer experience where a young boy navigates a monochrome, hostile world, relying on wits and stealth to survive.

88% Match

Ori and the Blind Forest

While brighter in tone, Ori shares Little Nightmares' blend of precise platforming, environmental puzzles, and a deeply emotional story, focusing on a small, agile protagonist in a world that is both beautiful and dangerous.
