The scary sequel to Little Nightmares 2 is just around the corner and is waiting to appear and scare you in February. If you haven’t played your predecessor’s platform game, don’t worry, you can catch it for free until Sunday, giving you plenty of time to sneak in before continuing. Bandai Namco has also scared off an awful new trailer for the occasion.
Bandai Namco says that the free download for the original Little Nightmares is available through the Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe store, which I can’t do, so I’m afraid you’re alone there. There’s also a pop-up window on Bandai Namco’s main website, which can give you an email address in “for a chance to claim a free copy” via the Steam key, though it’s not clear if this is a raffle situation or the same free offer they mentioned. I asked them for a little clarity in this regard and I will update if they explain it to me. In both cases, BandaiNam says the offer will run from now until Sunday, January 17.
RPS’s Little Nightmares magazine praises almost everything from puzzles to visual style to the rhythm of its horror world, which is based more on anxiety than fear. Alice Bee agrees that it is one of her favorite horror games and had a lot to say about the time spent previewing Little Nightmares 2.
“LN2 has all the things I liked from the first game: Lilliputian-type crawlers under tables and giant shelves, jumps that feel dangerous because of how small you are, and the excellent design of the sound of your little feet and the unseen things that it overturns in the dark, ”says Alice. “The puzzles are still in the line of finding the right switches to put in the right places, and while Six helps you throw yourself into certain rooms, I spent most of my time running alone like Mono. ”
Starting today, there is a demo for Little Nightmares 2 on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. There has been a demo available on PC for some time now, but if you haven’t heard of it, you can try it on Steam and GOG. You will also find the full game there when it launches on February 10 for 25 GBP / 30 EUR / 30 USD.
