A Less Interesting Little Nightmares
Now, that's not to say its strengths aren't really good. It's tighter focus to 2D leaves the scares more unpredictable as you get comfortable with the illogical nature of the dreams and how you traverse the environment. What mechanics it does introduce is very interesting and leaves for good idea's for puzzle solving, but these moments come in few and far between that the most I can remember, after a day of beating the game in one sitting, are only a few key moments in two or three levels. What is well polished is in the superficial. The environments, the few set pieces and how the dream world acts in such bizarre ways is what really gets me, with some fairly good scares that got me. But after that first play-through, I didn't really feel a desire to return to it. Not even the documents did anything for me as I collected them. The gameplay, past simple puzzle solving, is shallow. It tries to be a dream-like version of little nightmares without what made that unique. You are very rarely in danger save for repetitive patrol routes of monsters in a total of 3 chapters, and the lack of 3D space leaves those sections kind of boring as you hide in a certain spot waiting for the monster(s) to move to the other side, and you sometimes have to visit these locations more than once which drives the pacing of the puzzle solving to a halt. While its interesting to have a horror game of this scope entirely 2D, and I'm not saying they did bad doing it, it just felt restrained in what it could do and needed something to keep it interesting, which I was still waiting for to the very end because after the first 3 chapters, it doesn't really go up from there gameplay wise. Maybe I'm not the gamer for this game, but it was hard for me to feel invested when I was moving through a level at a snails pace from the games own core design, which is a problem I see in most small child scary world games. I cant recommend it as it has too few moments I remember to make it special.
