Are you stuck in Little Nightmares II? Most of the game so far has been common sense, but there are a few head-scratching puzzles that take a couple of minutes to figure out. You’ve avoided the teacher, for now, but you’re not in the clear.

There’s a charming yet utterly haunting beauty that shines from Little Nightmares II, something that I have never seen captured in a game before. Similar to its predecessor, it feels like a fairytale that has been violently torn apart with some of the most intensely graphic and obscene abominations filling its place. It could make even the most hardened players wince at its ghastly sights and yet it does so without even showing that much blood and gore. There has been a shift in the horror genre over the past decade, particularly with modern horror films such as Hereditary and Suspiria. These films relinquish jump scares for something far more effective, creating a slow burn of fear throughout until an explosive barrage of violence and horror suddenly occurs at the end. Little Nightmares II applies the same strategy and gives it a slightly unique twist. Instead of the entire game being a slow burn, each level is instead treated like such, creating a montage of intense horror that doesn’t slow down until the credits start to roll.
