★★★★★ "Bait and switch. While it was a puzzle game it was great, around level 9 and 10 it transformed into a terrible action game with bad controls. I couldn't be bothered to play past that. Sad." - Xotikos

Nothing like actual little nightmare
You can tell they made this game as quickly as possible without actually testing it because it works horribly on mobile. The actual little nightmares are fun, this was just annoying.
Trash banking on little nightmare fame
This is nothing like the original games, complete of money, specially $6.99 is way too much for what u get. Wish I could give it 0 stars
Bait and switch
While it was a puzzle game it was great, around level 9 and 10 it transformed into a terrible action game with bad controls. I couldn't be bothered to play past that. Sad.
Poor Mechanics
Clunky controls and not very intuitive. Stick with the original LN, would not recommend this one
Annoying controls
Controls are stupid and frustrating fix it 🙄
Bug won’t let me continue playing
In the room where you blow steam in the man’s face to escape down the hole, when I jump down the hole, the game sits there with the man staring down the hole. He doesn’t toss a crate down the hole, he just looks down it. I’ve watched videos of what is supposed to happen, but it does not happen for me.
Terrible game
I can’t even get past the eye part of the game I is sooo horrible that I will never play it again
stuck in a bug

Watch a play through
2 hour long game. Even with some puzzles, it’s very short. There are high quality, no commentary play throughs available that can get you to the story without spending 8 dollars.
Bedroom bug
The bed doesn't break.
Unbearable point on click

Terrible controls
Love the game series but this one has horrible mechanics controls barely work and it just goes to the wrong place half the time would’ve been easier to actually add a on screen controller mechanic than this tap garbage. That alone makes the game incredibly hard to actually enjoy.
Fun?
The main reason I got this game was because I was under the impression it was story driven. Short answer. It is not. Don’t get me wrong it’s kinda fun but an actual story would make this 10x better. All in all it’s a decent game for free but definitely not worth $7
Love/hate
There is so much to love about this game but it's so annoying when one part is too frustrating…like that wall with falling rocks! At least give us the option to skip it. Tried to get past this wall but it became too frustrating so I am deleting the game.
Requires quick reflexes
I really wish game developers would make it crystal clear if their games are the type that largely require quick reflexes and timing. I bought this game sorta expecting something different, like solving puzzles and exploration, but instead it’s primarily about quick reflexes. I played about 15 minutes and can’t take anymore. There went $7 straiiiiiight into the trash…
Definitely not a relaxing or thought-provoking game - Just a warning to those who are like me, just wanting to explore and solve puzzles. This is NOT that at all.

A little annoying
It gets frustrating very quickly. I had to look up a walkthrough several times before giving up on the game. It’s unintuitive and slow. Not recommended
