Fans of the dark themed, silent puzzle adventure game Little Nightmares have been anticipating the sequel title Little Nightmares II since it was first announced back in 2019. It was their Halloween trailer that Bandai Namco and Tarsier Studios opened pre-orders and announced the release date as of February 11, 2021, for PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One, with next-gen platforms planned for the future.
Typically, when a sequel title is coming up I like to prepare with a recap or playthrough of the original, but it seems the developers have a better idea in mind. Since many players, including myself, have already played through the initial game and all the available DLC’s for it, the next best thing to get the fanbase hyped for the series continuation title is a free demo to experience what the next chapter has to offer. This free demo is now available on Steam so excited players no longer have to wait to get a taste of what’s in store for them!
This ‘Wilderness demo’ sets the stage for the adventures and horrors to come for Mono, the young protagonist of the story. Players will dive headfirst into the first moments of the game, solving the first set of deadly puzzles and meeting companion character, the beloved Six from the first game. Together, Mono and Six will work together to discover the dark secrets within the Hunter’s cabin, and elude fearsome and grotesque enemies as they head towards the Pale City. Are you ready to begin the next dark chapter?
