The scary sequel to Little Nightmares 2 is just around the corner waiting to show up and scare you in February. If you haven’t played the previous platform puzzle yet, well, don’t worry, you can get it free for the rest of Sunday, giving you plenty of time to crawl through it before the sequence. Bandai Namco has also prepared a scary trailer for the occasion.
Bandai Namco says the free download of the original Little Nightmares is available at the Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe store, which I can’t find on my way, so I’m afraid you’re on your own from there. There is also a pop-up on the main Bandai Namco website where you can enter your email address “for your chance to claim a free copy” via the Steam key, although it is unclear if this is a raffle ticket or the same free offer that they have mentioned. I asked them for a little clarity on this and I will update if they explain it to me. In any case, BandaiNam says the offer runs from now until Sunday, January 17th.
RPS’s Little Nightmares analyzes almost everything about him, from puzzles to the visual style and rhythm of his world of terror that is based more on restlessness than on scares. Alice Bee agrees that it is one of her favorite horror games and has a lot to say about her time with the preview of Little Nightmares 2.
“LN2 has all the things I liked since the first game: crawling like a Lilliputian under giant tables and shelves, heels that look dangerous because of how small you are and the excellent sound design of your little feet hitting and invisible things dropping disorder in the dark, ”says Alice. “The puzzles are still trying to find the right switches to put in the right places, and while Six helps you get into certain rooms, I spent most of the time running around alone like Mono.”
As of today there is also a demo for Little Nightmares 2 on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. There is a demo available on the PC for a while, but if you haven’t heard about it, you can try it out on Steam and GOG. That’s also where you’ll find the full game when it launches on February 10th for £ 25 / € 30 / $ 30.
