Love it hope you see this cause we got to ask will you turn the sounds of nightmares podcast into a book.
We love the little nightmare games they are so much fun to play we have all the games and all the collection so much fun it got us a little frustrated but still fun 5 stars! <3 :> byeeee.
This game was great but we wish there was a free dlc where sixs route takes place.
So we like little nightmares we recently played little nightmares 3 with our sister, and we liked it, BUT this game is not what we expected, IT IS GOOD. And the puzzles are easy but not too easy, how we like it, and we like the Chibi style. Although there arent that many enemies, like in little nightmares there are like 6 or 8 enemies. This one only has 3. But the music is good the game still feels like little nightmares even in a different style, ok so now that we said our positives here are our negatives, the game is kinda short for a little nightmares game, little nightmares 3 is 3 hours, very little nightmares is only like one hour. And the way to move is a little bit junky, tapping on the screen is Tiring. Like when at the point were you gotta climb from the pretender, and also from that scene when we try to bump down the tree for SPOILER ALERT six, the pretender is already there and gets us. Like what? We have no time to go down faster, and when we respawn it gives us a total head start, okay? But why? Anyway play the game its worth it.
This is the best game we have ever played in our life this game has so many puzzles and secrets you need to play this game now.
Very fun game and would highly recommend. The puzzles in the game are so engaging.
We've been playing little nightmares for a while now we've already beatin the first two games and we have the 3rd game pre-orders and we love this one too id highly recommend you get this too if you like the other games.
This game has such a unique style. This game was definitely worth our money.
Play it, it is good and interesting.
Ive been making costumes made a mono and hunter costume and Im remaking them and we beat the first game and we still need to beat 2 and this game.
Gorlami! Loved the game. Terrific and certainly leaves one wanting more in a good way.
We have a couple theories we wnna type out here!!! So if you're interested please read!!! So, if you have played little nightmares 1 and 2 you'll know six was in both of them… The protagonist in this game ISN'T six if you didn't already know that… So we've looked up if six was in this game it wasn't confirmed but we're thinking the girl that tried to save the protagonist in this game at the end is six because their hair matches and you may be wondering " well how'd she get the rain coat" we're thinking little nightmares 2 was a prequel to little nightmares so six didn't get the rain coat until she was with mono. Anyway that's just our theorie idk if we're correct or not but oh well… If you haven't played any of the little nightmares games we do recommend them they're super fun.
We love very little nightmares.
We enjoyed this a lot. Puzzles were just the right balance – not too easy, not too hard. Great creepy design, and we like the autosave feature: when you die (and you will, many times) you just wake up where you were a bit earlier. Very fun and we hope for a sequel.
This is one of the best games Ive ever played.
We are IN LOVE w this game!! Its rlly well made especially since its on a phone, its so fun nn we love all the puzzles and the story, raincoat girl is rlly well designed as well as all the characters, if you like LN we def recommend this.
Dating back when we were 5, we played Little Nightmares , we LOVED IT, back then, we were a creep artist, the music, the creatures, we played both we and II, they were all so creepy, great for inspiration, then we were scrolling through App Store and we found Very Little Nightmares we were interested, so we clicked the Add button. Lets just say, that was a GREAT decision. This was a great strategy game, we remember trying to get past that big metal thing, it is great for our mind to make tactical decisions.
We like the game because its for little nightmares for mobile and for fans.
This is a cute game, some puzzles were challenging but we overall enjoyed the game play and story line. We wish a Bluetooth controller was able to be used for this game but its only a click and go style. We get to learn this is technically the first game in the franchise as we see Six through the game while playing as the girl in the rain coat. First play through and only missed 4 boxes and 1 hidden achievement, love this game.
We love any little nightmares game in our Ive finished every game and we cant wait for little nightmares 3. We 100% little nightmares 2.
The puzzles are fun, interactive and tricky. We love how it ties into the main game and we would recommend playing this or at least checking it out. CANT WAIT FOR LITTLE NIGHTMARES 3.
We love all the little nightmares games and this one is great too. It adds a lot to the lore, and the setting fits the mood of the little nightmares universe perfectly. The path finding can betray you sometimes but its worth how simple the controls are. We love all the hidden gnomes and music boxes that reference the other games :).
Ive been a fan of theses titles cant wait for little nightmares lll.
Great game, better prequel. We enjoyed every second of it. All 3200 of them. Strange to pay $7 for $2/hr max maybe but the only thing we'd want to change is to give the player the option to look at all the collectibles together. What does the bird mean? 9/10.
A very fun game that is enjoyable and tied well to the little nightmares lore, we found this very fun and enjoyed finding all its secrets and 100% the game as we finished it all up. Anyone getting into little nightmares a great way to be introduced to the franchise. Would recommend.
We love this game, it is our favorite puzzle-platform horror game series, we really enjoyed exploring through the game and finding hidden secrets throughout the nest, while being chased by monsters and solving puzzles. We love the creepy / mysterious side of story and the characters as well. Great game.
Wow. Just wow. That was one of the most interesting, intriguing, horrifying phone games we have ever played. The graphics were very good, and the amount of detail put into every little nook and cranny of the entire game was elite. The puzzles throughout the game were also very hard to do, but super fun. And there is so much lore. How did the the yellow hooded person just wake up inside the maze of horrors? Why are they so tiny? And what happened to the yellow hood at the end of the game. Did they're comrade escape this horrible place? Please, game developers, if you see this review, make a part 2 of VLN.
We love little nightmares and when we saw this game we wanted to play it and it was super fun and we would love to see a very little nightmares two game to come out Complements to the game developers.
This is a very good game. It does take a lot of space though. If youre not very good at puzzles it is going to take you a long time to finish. But challenge is needed for a good game. 10/10 mobile game.
Can you add port ALL little nightmares game to mobile for free it love your game and please can please.
Very Little Nightmares, how do we put this is super fantastic, as someone who LOVES the little nightmares franchise, this game is great way of playing something on the go, we love the Raincoat girl, and wish to see more Little nightmares mobile games regardless of if they ever get made, overall its very fun, our only complaint is the fact our phone is so tiny we have trouble tapping which location to walk/run to but thats on us, 10/10 game :3.
ITS SOOO AWESOME! We literally speed ran the game we had to watch some guides BUT ITS . Best game ever played. Keep up the good work creators.
There is so much we could write but Ill keep it short. This game and all the others have had such an impact on us. The story is so gripping and the games to sum it up are just straight up amazing. These developers never fail to impress. 5/5.
Ill have you know that we have played every single Little Nightmares game there is. Ive played LN1 and LN2 plus the DLC. Ive read all the lore and watched every video explaining all the monsters. Ive found the secret ending in LN2 and pieced together how we think the timeline goes. Overall this is a great strategy yet thrilling and exciting game and we recommend to anyone and everyone.
We love little nightmares it is the best video game ever (in our opinion).
This game is phenomenal! Would definitely recommend. There was one bug where it crashed when we first saw the butler but we could play the rest on our moms phone. This game is freaky and we love it and we promise you will too.
Much like the other LN games, its high quality and has a great storyline but ive been experiencing a one annoying bug.Its for Level 14;where you have to find all of the nomes hidden in different rooms.Ive tried to restart the level and play through it again,but the bed never breaks,even though ive gathered all of the nomes.other then that,its a amazing game, and ties to the other games quite well.thats really all.
We love the little nightmares franchise and we think this game is creative and entertaining and just so adorable.
Absolutely wonderful and just as good and fun as little nightmares one and two and good music.
Title speaks for itself. Its been so long, we need something, anything, a comic at this point to give a shred of hope theres anything more to come.
Very Little nightmares is a great game its very good that six easily became our favorite character Roblox is still a little better but very little nightmares is our second favorite game very little nightmares even so good that we decided to make our Roblox avatar look like six we even made 6 in very little nightmares and monster six because of the game and six in gotcha but its not absolutely perfect its just so annoying we cant beat the garbage level can you? Let us know if you can.
GET A ENDING WHERE SIX ESCAPEDS WITH RAINCOAT GURL PLSSS.
We been playing this game for a while now and it is hard and sometimes scary but the puzzles you have to complete is amazing.
This was a perfect bite-sized serving of the little nightmares universe. The small yet intriguing additions to the lore and world are satisfying, the aesthetic of the franchise is maintained despite the shift in format, the mechanics also feel true to the series, and the aforementioned differences in format still work to great effect. This game was well worth the price tag, and it works great as a short dip back into the twistedly beautiful and compelling world of little nightmares. We heavily recommend this for casual and diehard fans alike. (Just make sure this isnt your first exposure to the franchise).
We remember first playing little nightmares on our friends computer and instantly falling in love with the game! When we had heard there was a little nightmares game on mobile we immediately asked our mom for it. She said yes and let us say it was amazing! It just adds so much more to the storyline! New characters, more lore, new puzzles, it has everything! It explains all the missing puzzle pieces that were missing.Its also just fun in general. We had the three little nightmares games and they were amazing but there was still a lot missing. With very little nightmares we felt complete and felt like a made a world record achievement. Anyways, if your reading reviews to see if its worth it, it definitely is lol bye.
We love The Whole series and we think its the the best mobile game in the UNIVERSE.
If your a fan of little nightmares do we got a treat for you! The puzzles may be hard but once you complete them you feel oh so good and the art and characters are just so funny! We greatly in joy please get.
When is little nightmares three coming out???? We want a neeew one so bad.
This is probably the best game we have ever played and do recommend to anyone who loves horror and puzzles.
