Little Nightmares might be growing with each new instalment, but the characters we play as are not. Enter: Low and Alone, Little Nightmares 3's dual child protagonists, whose journey through The Spiral is sure to be fraught with all manner of insidious evils when the game launches later this year.
In a universe teeming with wonder and horror at every turn, Little Nightmares is at its strongest when that deft balance is achieved. "We are talking about charming horror on our side," Bandai Namco producer Coralie Feniello suggests of the game's tone. "I think [the term] fits very well, because it's a world that is really not made for you; it's a world that is made for the adults, the antagonists that you can see in the game, but you are here, and you are very small, and you are a little glimmer of hope in the middle of that. I think it's really that differentiation between charming and horror that makes it so powerful."
