Description

In Little Nightmares III, you follow the journey of Low & Alone, as they search for a path that could lead them out of the Nowhere.

Trapped within the Spiral, a cluster of disturbing places, the two friends will have to work together to survive in a dangerous world full of delusions and escape the grasp of an even greater threat lurking in the shadows.

For the first time in the franchise, face your childhood fears together with a friend using online co-op, or solo with an AI companion.

Plot

TBA

Gameplay

Like its predecessors, Little Nightmares III will be a puzzle-platformer adventure game. However, this time, the player will be able to take control either Low or Alone, the two never-seen-before protagonists of this game as they journey through the Spiral and try to find a way home.

For the first time in the series, players will have a choice to play this game in online co-op, with each taking control one of the characters, or to play this game solo with an AI companion just like the previous game. Both characters will have to work together to solve puzzles, defeat monsters, and traverse through the dystopian lands.

Each character will have a unique skill set to help each other solve various problems. Low will be equipped with a bow and arrows used to strike faraway targets, while Alone will be equipped with a wrench to bash down walls or work with mechanisms. Throughout the game, players will come across unique tools that will allow them to continue their journey through the Spiral. For example, umbrellas that will allow players to cross large gaps or up gusts of wind.
