While another stage has the pair move through an eerie hall filled with full-bodied mannequins in “The Hospital”. One stage aptly titled “The School” has the kids encounter, fight, and avoid bizarre mannequin children overseen by their equally strange and frightening “Teacher,” who’s yet another grotesque and creepy boss in the game. The first level served as a great start to the game and clues you in on what’s to come.Īs players transverse from stage to stage, they’ll see a significant change in tone and aesthetic. This sequence starts as a frantic run for survival as your platform your way to freedom but then quickly devolves into a stealth sequence for survival. Once you finally free her, you’ll both then have to deal with the hunter, and he’s threatening shotgun. You eventually come across the hunter’s shack where you’ll meet and free the captured Six. As you start the game, you immediately take control of Mono as he pushes through the woods outside the city and into the domain of “The Hunter,” one of the game’s four main bosses.Īs you go further into the woods, you’ll encounter multiple traps and other hurdles along your way where you’ll have to use your wit and quick reflexes to evade them. It follows Mono, a boy who dawns a stylish paper bag on his head alongside Six, the protagonist of the previous game, as they venture through Pale City to reach the Black Tower controlled by the mysterious Thin Man. Little Nightmares II is the sequel to the grim and disturbing original hit game released in 2017 by developer Tarsier Studios. If, for some reason, you’ve decided to read this review with no prior knowledge of the series, then allow me to provide a synopsis. I also played both demos prior to its release, and now that I’ve finally able to complete the game, I’m happy to say it met my expectations and even managed to surprise and intrigue me with its plot and shocking ending (that I obviously won’t spoil). Suffice to say, I’m a massive fan of the series and have been following the sequel in anticipation since its announcement. While this is a result of a terrible schedule and a slew of unforeseen circumstances, I’m nevertheless pleased with the time I spent with the game, short as it was. She's not a very good friend.I’m proud to say Little Nightmares II is the first game I’ve completed this year. However, while she could easily lift him up, Six decides to let him go and Mono falls to the depths of the Signal Tower as Six nonchalantly escapes. As a bridge towards the exit begins to crumble, Mono leaps towards a ledge, and Six manages to catch him. The two children run away as a wave of flesh tries to crush them.

Seeing that this music box is the object behind her transformation, Mono destroys it. This Six is obsessed with a music box that's similar to the one she was playing with when Mono originally saved her.
The only problem is that the Signal Tower has transformed her into a giant, twisted version of herself. Inside the Signal Tower is a strange, pinkish-purple alternate dimension where gravity and time seem to be distorted. After a tense chase, Mono manages to trick The Doctor into entering an incinerator and burns him alive. He's a grotesquely bulbous figure who scampers across the ceiling like some sort of spider. The two end up in the lower levels where they encounter a huge man called The Doctor. Mono and Six make it through a dark hospital filled with living mannequins who can only be stopped by light. It is here that the little girl finds a familiar yellow raincoat and puts it on. They walk out into the streets during a heavy rainstorm. After the girl is captured by the Bullies, Mono rescues her again and the two barely escape from the school.
They're all being taught by a woman called The Teacher, who has the bizarre ability to stretch out her neck to absurd lengths like Elastic Man. They're actually strange living dolls with porcelain heads known as Bullies. Of course, they're not normal children since this is Little Nightmares. The two enter a school that is surprisingly populated with children.
