The player will have to walk all over the Nest and solve various puzzles. The player must be careful, as there are many dangers and enemies on the way.

In Very Little Nightmares each room is a separate level. The game is two dimensional, and it takes place on a grid. You’ll have to click on different squares to get Six to interact with objects and move around tiles.

Game plot

It all starts when a child in a yellow mackintosh has a dream. The girl in it was running away from someone and hiding in a barn, shutting the door with a board. When she wakes up, she sees the balloon she was flying in. As she loses altitude, the balloon punches through the roof of a huge house and gets stuck among the debris. Six had to scramble through dangerous rooms with monsters to get out of the place.

On her way she met a girl in a snow-white dress who was running through pipes to an opening in a vent. As the heroine ran through the cages, she rescued the boy and encountered an old man who has very long legs and arms. He’s called the Smarty Pants. It is a monster that the girl had to hide from in a toy box.

The heroine ended up on the floor with Butler, who has the rare ability to telekinesis. She barely managed to escape and took refuge in the Pretender’s room. This is the harmful Mistress who owns the manor in question.

The girl managed to make it to the main entrance of the mansion, but the Butler caught up with her there. She had to run into the garden and dodge objects thrown by the enemy. The heroine had to go through a junkyard of old dolls. It was there that she attracted the attention of the Pretender, who was sitting near the cliff.

The Mistress got angry and chased after the girl. The protagonist also had to rescue her partner as she almost fell off the cliff. The new friend dropped a huge boulder on the Pretender in order to save the girl in the yellow cloak. The villain survived and attacked the heroine. They both ended up falling into the ocean. That was the end of the story.

The credits would be shown, followed by a curious episode. A girl in a white dress on a raft is floating on the ocean. She sees a yellow mackintosh in the water and picks it up. It is assumed that the protagonist has failed to survive.

Very Little Nightmares is an interesting game, and it keeps one in suspense the whole time. The levels are easy to pass at first, but gradually the task becomes more difficult. You will have to solve puzzles quickly and constantly run away in order to survive.

Conclusion

The graphics are beautiful, so you’ll be able to admire the high-quality pictures. All the enemies are designed down to the smallest detail, they really do look scary. You want to help the girl defeat the villains and still get out.

During the puzzle, the question arises: is all this really happening? Perhaps the girl crashed when the balloon fell? The answer is still no, but you can have fun and even get scared. This game is definitely worth a look, as it’s not like other puzzle games.
