Nintendo Switch (Little Nightmares III)

A New Chapter of Shadows & Whispers

Little Nightmares III marks a bold evolution in the series, enabling online cooperative play for the first time while preserving the atmospheric, psychological horror that fans love. As Low and Alone, you venture through the disturbing world known as The Spiral—a distorted network of realms like the Carnevale, Necropolis, and Candy Factory—each filled with grotesque residents, sinister illusions, and hidden dangers.

United by friendship and survival, Low and Alone each carry distinctive tools: a bow for ranged interactions, and a wrench for breaking barriers and manipulating objects. Only by working together—whether with a friend online, or guided by AI in solo mode—can you overcome environmental puzzles, evade monstrous residents, and gradually unravel the mystery that keeps them trapped in The Nowhere.

Gameplay & Mechanics

Puzzle-Platforming & Stealth:
Players must use environment, timing, and stealth to progress. Running, hiding, climbing, and strategic maneuvers are essential, especially when direct conflict is dangerous or impossible.

Asymmetric Abilities:
Each of the two characters has unique capabilities: Low’s bow can trigger distant objects, slice ropes, or hit switches; Alone’s wrench can break fragile obstacles or operate machinery. Many puzzles require swapping between characters or coordinating both together.

Co-op or Solo with AI:
You can play in online co-op, where each player controls one child, or go solo and let the AI manage the second character. The Friend’s Pass system allows one player to invite another even if they do not own the game — enhancing accessibility.

Dynamic Environments & Horror Atmosphere:
The world changes around you—illusionary walls, collapsing structures, haunting aesthetics, and a cast of monstrous residents that stalk and pursue you. The game leans into unsettling tension rather than outright gore, with sound design, lighting, and environment shaping fear.

Story & World

In Little Nightmares III, Low and Alone journey in search of an escape from the deadly grasp of The Spiral. Along the way, memories, fears, and illusions blend, revealing shadows of the past and emotional echoes. They explore locations warped by nightmarish logic: a funfair with crushing rides, crumbling ruins, factories that breathe, and halls haunted by monstrous baby figures and other twisted creatures.

As the story unfolds, the bond between the characters strengthens and secrets about the world’s nature emerge. Themes of fear, identity, and escape are woven throughout the journey.
