Fearless console adventurers can take their first tentative steps into developer Tarsier Studios’ deliciously sinister platform sequel Little Nightmares 2 today, courtesy of a new playable demo now available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Switch.
It’s the same demo that launched on Steam and GOG at the tail-end of last year, and casts players as new protagonist Mono, who’s accompanied throughout the adventure by Six – the pint-sized, yellow-raincoat-wearing protagonist of the original game, this time controlled by AI.
Little Nightmares 2 trades the squalid interiors of the first game’s grimy Maw in favour of some airier – although no less oppressive – exterior locales situated in and around the Pale City. One of these is on display in the demo, with players able to take a tense trek through a fog-shrouded forest as Mono attempts to liberate Six from a shack belonging to the nefarious Hunter.
