Little Nightmares III & Its Spooky Carnival To Debut This October

October is going to get a lot spookier with Bandai Namco’s latest 2D horror title.

Little Nightmares III will be out for PC and consoles on 10th October according to publisher Bandai Namco and developer Supermassive Games (Until Dawn, Dark Pictures Anthology). In addition, there will be a Nintendo Switch 2 version.

Little Nightmares III is about two best friends Low and Alone as they work together to get out of the Nowhere and its spooky carnival theme and trappings while not dying. So far from the 10-minute gameplay demo, Supermassive still kept to its 2D trademark visuals and atmosphere, making for one creepy experience for those into Tim Burton-esque fares.

Features list and trailer below.

Face Your Childhood Fears Together

You play as Low and Alone, best friends ever since they found each other in this lonely nightmare. They each possess their own iconic item: a bow for Low and a wrench for Alone. Working together, they’ve become adept at sneaking through hidden passages, hoisting each other over massive obstacles, and watching each other’s backs.

Whether you’re playing with a friend or an A.I. companion, you’ll depend on each other’s iconic items to create opportunities and to progress. The environment is full of clues and possibilities for imaginative children to exploit. Low’s arrows can reach high targets, cut through ropes, or down flying enemies, and Alone’s wrench is just the thing for crushing stunned enemies, smashing through barriers, or manipulating the workings of massive machines.

Embark on an Immersive and Disturbing Adventure

No matter where you go, the Nowhere is home to horrific monsters. These Residents won’t hesitate to go out of their way to capture any intrusive little Visitors that draw their attention. You might find yourself playing a terrifying game of hide and seek with Monster Baby in the sandy ruins of the Necropolis, struggling to avoid swarms of voracious Candy Weevils in an unsettling Candy Factory, or dodging heavy feet while running along the rain-soaked promenade of a filthy funfair.

You’ll need to be ready to run, hide, or even defend yourself at a moment’s notice to stay in one piece.

Sink Into the Spiral

Don’t be too distracted by the desolate beauty of the Nowhere. There are dark mysteries waiting for you as Low and Alone follow their mirror path across the Spiral. As each new location will become more dangerous and disturbing than the last, traumatic flashes from the past will begin to emerge. Will Low and Alone finally escape from this unending nightmare? Only you can help them, little ones…
