A captivating adventure that lingers in players' minds long after the credits roll. Three-quarters of Steam reviews glow with enthusiasm, and post-release reception climbs to an impressive 80% positive. Yet, beneath the praise lies a simmering frustration: something feels off, with content and price frequently drawing ire.

What it's about: Les créateurs de Little Nightmares™ I et II vous emmènent accomplir un voyage ténébreux et terrifiant. Dans ce jeu d’aventure et d’horreur, un frère et une sœur traversent l’enfer pour sauver leurs amis disparus et s’échapper de l’île qui était autrefois leur demeure.

« Great game and stunning visuals. HOWEVER we completed the playthrough in less than 4 hours. The game is 40€. That's an extremely high cost/playtime. If the game was 20€ that'd be just fine, but for 40€ it's just way too expensive. »

« This game is definitely good, but it's $40 for 4 hours of gameplay in a game with little to no replayibility. It's embarrassingly low value, do not buy unless at least 50% sale »
