About This Game

Embark on a new adventure in the unique world of Little Nightmares. 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.

Summary: IGDB

Story

Two children, Low, a boy in a raven mask, and Alone, a girl in a green jumpsuit and aviator hat, find themselves lost in the Spiral, a cluster of eerie, oversized lands. Together they journey through nightmarish places, a desert Necropolis watched over by a colossal doll, a sprawling Candy Factory, a sinister traveling Carnevale, and a decaying overgrown Institute, each stalked by grotesque, towering monsters. Relying on Low's bow and Alone's wrench, the pair must solve the dangers of each realm and stay one step ahead of the horrors pursuing them as they search for a way out.
