LITTLE NIGHTMARES II

LITTLE NIGHTMARES II

Little Nightmares II is a suspense-adventure game in which you play as Mono, a young boy trapped in a world that has been distorted by the humming transmission of a distant tower.

With Six, the girl in a yellow raincoat, as his guide, Mono sets out to discover the dark secrets of The Signal Tower and save Six from her terrible fate.

But their journey will not be straightforward as Mono and Six will face a gallery of new threats from the terrible residents of this world.

Will you dare to face this collection of new, little nightmares?

Key features

A host of brand-new Residents lie in wait to haunt your steps and disturb your sleep.

Outsmart the sadistic Teacher, survive the bloodthirsty Hunter and flee from many more terrifying characters, as Mono and Six journey through this world together.

Escape a world that’s rotten from the inside.

Your journey will take you from creepy woodlands, to sinister schools, on your way to the dreadful Signal Tower to find the source of the evil that spreads through the TV screens of the world.

Six is fading from this world and her only hope is to guide Mono to the Signal Tower.

In this world of nightmares, you are her only beacon of hope.

Can you muster the courage to fend off your tormenters, and co-operate with Six to make sense of The Signal Tower?

Little Nightmares 2 gameplay

The eye-catching 15-minute gameplay for Little Nightmares 2 was unveiled in late August.

Mono wakes up in a dark, ominous forest in front of an old-school TV. He quickly gathers himself up and jogs through the wilderness. As Mono leaps over a gap, we spot a decomposing, fly-attracting corpse. The paper-bag wearing kid then crawls into a spooky tunnel. When Mono comes out on the other side, he encounters another disturbing scene — the gruesome aftermath of forest wanderers who stepped into a deadly booby trap. Mono doesn’t seem fazed by this, though. He traverses a log and continues to explore the spooky forest.

Similar to Six in the first Little Nightmares game, Mono pushes and pulls objects to reach higher platforms and swings on ropes to get to the other side. There are booby traps populated throughout the forest, including bear-trap jaws that can clamp you to death and net traps that can leave you stranded in the wilderness. You must avoid them by being cautious and thinking one step ahead.

Mono sneaks into a run-down, rinky-dink house that looks like a haunted shanty you’d find in a horror film. In this unnerving dwelling, Mono frees Six from the basement and he now has a useful companion who can guide him through this spine-tingling world. Six, however, will not be playable — she will be an AI-driven sidekick. Although Six will follow Mono, Roussel wants fans to know that she’s far from a follower.

“Six remains faithful from what we have seen from the first game. We know that she’s an active character,” Roussel said in an interview. “Sometimes she will take the lead, depending on the situation. Sometimes, you will have to ask her to do something for you, like help you reach a platform or activate a mechanism.”

Like the original game, there are unsightly monsters who will chase you down, but in Little Nightmares 2, the first enemy you encounter sports a shotgun, which we haven’t seen before. The monsters of the first game were equipped with speedy feet or freakishly long arms, but never weapons.

The trailer reveals some form of combat in Little Nightmares 2, which we didn’t see in the original IP — Six mostly had to rely on stealth mechanics to outsmart her enemies. She was vulnerable and had nothing to defend herself with. Mono, on the other hand, is seen whacking enemies in the head with a ladle, so I can’t wait to see how the new element of combat works in this highly anticipated game.

Little Nightmares 2 mimics the original IP’s side-scrolling gameplay à la Inside and Limbo. Similar to the first Little Nightmares game, the sequel often switches between 3D and 2D perspectives. Another parallel you’ll find between the sequel and the original is stealth mechanics — you’ll need to tiptoe behind enemies to progress in Little Nightmares 2.

Little Nightmares 2 setting

As previously mentioned, the original IP took place inside a massive ship called The Maw that had unspeakable horrors, and as such, Little Nightmares 2 answers the following question: “What kind of a terrible world could The Maw exist in?” Looking at the trailer and 15-minute gameplay, you don’t want to know.

Little Nightmares 2 gives us insight into the bloodcurdling world beyond the vessel we were confined to in the original IP. Welcome to Pale City — the name of the unwelcoming metropolis that Mono and Six find themselves in. Although Pale City is plagued with dreadful secrets, malevolent monsters and evil atmospheric vibes, there’s something darkly whimsical about it in a “Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas” kind of way. There are hands that crawl like spiders and eyeballs melting out of monsters’ eye sockets, but despite the grotesque imagery, Little Nightmares 2 is still visually intriguing.

From the rotting corpses of the forest to the twisted tree roots of an underground tunnel, there’s a lot of ugliness in Pale City, but the art is beautiful. Besides the forest and Signal Tower, other locations Mono and Six explore include a hospital filled with prosthetic limbs hanging from ceilings and a dreary, bare-bones classroom devoid of color and sprightliness.

Characters

Patients

The Patients cannot live with their selves. They look in the mirror and hate what stares back. Seeing nothing but the flaws and ugliness of nature, they beg The Doctor to fix them, to work his magic, and make them whole again.

Doctor

Perfection is important to The Doctor and he will not allow anything to interfere with his life’s work. With his adoring patients clattering the halls, you may not hear The Doctor coming, not until it’s too late. Only then will you learn to look up to him.

Bullies

Proof that all children don’t get to be innocent, The Bullies aren’t tragic figures, no cruel parents to blame, and don’t secretly crave your friendship. They are Bullies, and they will get you if you don’t get them first.

Teacher

Misbehaviour will not be tolerated in The Teacher’s classroom, and nothing escapes her cold, twisted gaze. In her domain, children should be seen and not heard, and if one should be heard, they will never be seen again.

As the world buckles under the relentless pulse of The Signal Tower, Mono takes refuge where he can.
His thin paper mask offers some respite, helping him forget that the world outside hates him, and wants him to fail – but he can’t stay hidden forever.

Hunter

Armed with his flashlight and battered shotgun, The Hunter stamps through the wilderness with cold ambition,
sniffing out his prey, collecting new trophies for the groaning walls of his shack.

Awaking in a world she cannot recognise, Six must learn to trust someone else if she is to stand a chance of survival.
She has already seen more than any normal child ever should, but then . Six is not a normal child.

Thin Man

As the ever-present hum of The Transmission chokes the airwaves,
The Thin Man continues his endless journey through this desolate place, haunting the shadows, searching for something…

Little Nightmares 2 story

Little Nightmares 2 is about the fascinating dynamic between two kids on a journey to discover the dark secrets of a place called the Signal Tower after dodging the bloodthirsty Hunter, escaping the sadistic Teacher and other terrifying, monstrous characters. Signal Tower is an evil place that controls the Little Nightmares 2 world by sending malevolent signals to residents via TV screens.

“Something about Signal Tower sends out this pulse or transmission and it affects everyone around it,” Roussel said in an interview with Eurogamer. Throughout the game, you’ll find staticy TVs that give off creepy “The Ring” vibes. According to the trailer, Mono and Six can teleport from one location to another using these TVs. Once the precocious duo reaches Signal Tower, they will have to face the main antagonist of the game: Thin Man (who is reminiscent of Slender Man).

Spoiler alert: on Bandai Namco’s (Little Nightmare 2’s publisher) website, it says, “Six is fading from this world and her only hope is to guide Mono to the Signal Tower.” Fading is the operative word here. Is it possible that Six will not make it to the end of Little Nightmares 2?

Lastly, Tarsier Studios describes Mono as an “anti-hero.” This description insinuates that Mono may display qualities that do not align with good ethical judgement.

This reminds me of Six’s controversial scene in the first game. Six, who had a grumbling stomach throughout the original IP, encountered a friendly gnome who offered her a piece of sausage to tame her hunger, but instead of taking the sausage, Six pinned the poor gnome to the ground and ate him alive. This scene spearheaded a slew of hilarious reaction videos on YouTube. I presume Mono will have similar moments of questionable judgement in Little Nightmares 2. After all, it would inspire another wave of viral videos that will heighten the sequel’s visibility among gamers.
