Expansion

July 7, 2017

Arcade

An expansion for Little Nightmares, a platform game released in spring 2017 by Tarsier Studios. Secrets Of The Maw is divided into three episodes, in which we follow a completely new hero, a boy named The Runaway Kid who tries to escape an underwater facility, the eponymous Maw. While playing, we discover dark secrets of this place and learn answers to a number of questions that remained unanswered after the adventures of Six from the basic game have ended. The fates of both protagonist intertwine, which lets us see the girl’s journey from a different perspective. Mechanics-wise, Secrets Of The Maw doesn’t introduce any major changes – it is still a dark 2.5D platform game focused on exploration, puzzle-solving, and avoiding attention of grotesque enemies. In the subsequent episodes, we traverse three previously unavailable locations such as an engine room and a flooded lower deck, among others.

VideoGamer: 9 / 10 by Alice Bell

Little Nightmares is frightening, in a way that gets under your skin. A way that whispers in your ear that you won't sleep well tonight. Little Nightmares takes things you were afraid of when you were a kid, and reminds you you're still afraid now.

At times mechanically clumsy, but artistically sound, Little Nightmares might get on your nerves every once in awhile, but its imagery will burrow into your brain and never leave.
