A huge part of the game’s brilliance lies in its audio design. The PC version, when played with a good headset, is terrifying. The creak of floorboards, the wet gurgle of a nearby enemy, the frantic pitter-patter of Six’s bare feet—every sound is crisp and directional. The minimalist, eerie score by Tobias Lilja only amplifies the feeling that something is always right behind you.
In an era where horror games often rely on jump scares and an abundance of weapons, Little Nightmares offers a refreshingly different kind of terror. Developed by Tarsier Studios and published by Bandai Namco, this puzzle-platformer landed on PC in 2017 and has since cemented itself as a modern classic of the genre. PC - Little Nightmares
