Little Nightmares 3 – Co-Op Nightmares, New Characters, and Community Buzz
Little Nightmares 3

Little Nightmares 3 – Reunite with the twisting world of Little Nightmares, on a suspenseful quest for friends, fear and freedom in this definitive edition. This time around, players serve as Low and Alone, a pair of best friends seeking to escape The Nowhere — an otherworldly dangerous place packed with all sorts of beasts such as the monstrous Residents along with dark secrets.

Every inch you take is the result of teamwork, ingenuity and courage, working together to push further into a resistance where it counts. Whether or not you’re playing in two-player online co-op or by yourself with an AI companion.

Two Friends, One Nightmare

Little Nightmares 3 is ultimately the tale of friendship in a world created to tear you apart.

  • Low fights with a bow, ideal for slashing ropes, striking faraway switches and bringing down flying enemies.
  • Alone wields a Wrench ideal for smashing obstacles, attacking enemies and controlling objects in the environment.

Between them, they skulk through shadowed passages, hoist each other over great impediments and depend on each another’s tools to live. This collaboration is not a choice — it’s the only way to get our heads out of the sand.

The Horrors of The Nowhere

The Nowhere is both mesmerizing and threatening. Each area is teeming with monstrous entities and deadly devices that challenge your timing and creativity:

  • Necropolis – Escape the ghastly Monster Baby in a sand labyrinth.
  • Candy Factory – Dodge masses of Candy Weevils on the conveyor belts.
  • Rain-Soaked Promenade – Rush through the halls of the Umbrella Corporation as they are being flooded and dodge the gargantuan “Dread” that awaits you on Deck.

The world is a place that rewards creative problem-solving and punishes mistakes with unrelenting terror.

A Darker Mystery Awaits

As Low and Alone make their way further into the Spiral, they encounter even weirder (and more perilous) locations. Traumatic memories emerge, suggesting both the pair’s sordid history and the unfathomable depths of The Nowhere.


The big question: Will they find a way out — or will they become permanent Residents like everyone else?
