Aug 27th, 2018 at 18:15:52 - Little Nightmares (PS4) |
Once upon a time there was a little person in a bright yellow raincoat who wanted nothing more than to escape their nightmares. They couldn’t. The end!
Okay, that was a lie. Probably. Given that this is my first time playing Little Nightmares, I cannot say for certain how it ends. I’ve only just learned how it begins. For those of you who are curious about this little person in a bright yellow raincoat, I’ll warn you now. This game is not suitable for children. From the moment you pick yourself up from that dreary little suitcase, doom and gloom hang in the air. In the case of the poor sucker you run under near the beginning, this is quite literal.
Now as a general rule I don’t mind my video games with a side of morbidity. It makes things a little more realistic. With Little Nightmares, however, I have to admit it’s almost too much. Then again, that might just be my own nightmares talking. Being a little person in a big world is bad enough. Walking around, or sneaking in most cases, a prison full of blood trails and blind monsters ready to gobble you up makes it all the worse. It’s enough to make me want to not play.
That’s not going to happen, of course. I just have to figure out what happens in the end! Does the little person escape? Do they conquer their nightmares? Probably not. Clad in horror, gore, and death, Tarsier Studios paints this particular video game as a statement to the ages—not a happily ever after fairytale. So I’m not going to hold my breath. Instead I’ll play, I’ll watch, and I’ll learn how not to die as I make my way through these six levels of demented nightmares. Maybe by the end of it all, something more than tension will present itself to me.
Curious as ever,
Kia.
