Little Nightmares III Unveiled: New Adventures Await in The Spiral – Back in 2021, when Little Nightmares II hit the scene, it really caught people’s attention with its eerie vibes and clever puzzles. Now, after a wait of two and a half years since the last main installment, fans who’ve fallen in love with the first two critically acclaimed games have a new reason to get excited. The folks at Bandai Namco, the creators behind Little Nightmares, have just dropped some exciting news: Supermassive Games, the talented minds behind “Until Dawn,” are crafting a fresh addition to the Little Nightmares universe. And there’s more to the tale – we’ve had our first sneak peek into what’s in store in Little Nightmares III.
The story in Little Nightmares III takes us into the world of two youngsters, Low and Alone. They find themselves trapped in a spine-chilling place called The Spiral, where they must team up to outsmart a lurking threat that hides in the shadows. The intriguing part is that you can choose to play solo with a computer-controlled partner, or you can dive into the adventure with a friend through online co-op.
Now, let’s talk about the gameplay glimpse that’s been revealed. Picture this: You’re exploring the Necropolis, a desert area that’s pretty gloomy and hard to see in. Coralie Feniello, the person steering the ship in this game, describes it as a city buzzing with energy but also oozing danger. There’s no background music, setting the tone for an eerie atmosphere. Our protagonists, Low and Hope, decide to climb up a towering structure, leading them into what seems like a crypt. Here’s the interesting part – each character comes equipped with a unique tool; Alone has a trusty wrench, and Low wields a bow. These tools aren’t just for show – they’re the key to unlocking various paths in their adventure.
Now, the heart of the game lies in teamwork. Low and Alone need to put their heads together to solve puzzles. Imagine this scenario: Alone has to turn a contraption to extend a bridge, and at the same time, Low has to shoot an arrow to keep the bridge from moving with the weight. The magic happens through their communication – they can signal each other without words, making it seamless and clever.

In another section of the game, they stumble upon a crow that’s holding a vital key. Low uses his bow skills to free the key from the crow’s beak, unlocking the way forward. As they press on, they encounter something eerie – a massive hand that seems like a statue at first but springs to life as Monster Baby, a hulking creature. Escaping its grasp becomes a priority.
As the gameplay demo unfolds, we’re taken to dimly lit catacombs beneath the Necropolis. Monster Baby continues its rampage, breaking through walls and creating chaos. Solving puzzles involving oversized beetles and wading through waist-high sand adds to the adventure. They eventually emerge back into the city above, where they’re determined to evade Monster Baby’s relentless pursuit. However, the demo ends on a cliffhanger as the massive hand inches closer, setting the stage for more suspense.
That’s not all – there’s a little extra treat named “The Sounds of Nightmares,” a series of podcasts that peel back the layers of the Little Nightmares universe. The first two episodes are right around the corner. And the big news? Little Nightmares III is set to hit the gaming scene in 2024, available on platforms like PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC. So, gear up for another round of spine-tingling adventure and teamwork in the unsettling world of Little Nightmares.
