LITTLE NIGHTMARES III
TIPS
Remember who you are
You are playing children. While they each have an iconic item, it’s not a weapon per se, and they are still in a dangerous world that’s not meant for them.
Look, try and solve
Carefully observe your surroundings as you solve puzzles — sometimes the solution is right before your eyes if you jump, grab, or climb.
Be patient It might seem easier just to run through, but sometimes taking a step back and having a second look can avoid you a painful death…
Don’t forget to run
Sometimes, the best way is just to throw everything out off the window and run for your lives.
You can distract enemies
When some enemies are busy doing something else, you can call out to them using the designated button to distract them - making them move or even luring them away from your friend.
Hold the light
Life isn’t always so dark. Once unlocked, your flashlight (R3 / Right Stick) can help you navigate, solve puzzles, and maybe even find a bit of comfort.
HOW TO PLAY LITTLE NIGHTMARES III IN SOLO
WITH AI COMPANION
In Little Nightmares III, that teamwork will be put to the test as never before, whether you’re playing online with a friend or solo with an AI companion.

LITTLE NIGHTMARES III
A massive, ancient city in the middle of a windswept desert, the Necropolis used to be home to the Dwellers. Now, it seems that nothing remains of them except ruins and a few strange statues scattered about.
Here, you’ll find feather umbrellas that will allow Low and Alone to ride the updrafts that turn the remaining windmills that power the city.
Hidden among the clay urns and complex machinery are the hives of Beetles, enormous insect threats that must be shot down by Low’s arrows and crushed with Alone’s wrench.
The Necropolis is a massive playground for Monster Baby; you’ll need to stay out of her eager clutches or you’ll both become her little toys...
This smoking behemoth of a factory is the domain of the Supervisor, who oversees production of an endless supply of sticky, sickly sweets. From her nest of surveillance monitors, she watches over the endless maze of machines, ready to snatch any interlopers who would dare to put grit in the gears.
In the bowels of the facility where her cameras don’t reach, hordes of parasitic Candy Weevils have massed to feed on the remains of old stock. In spite of their name, they’re not picky and they’ll swarm anything that gets in their way, so you’ll need to find ways to use light to keep them at bay.
The production line is manned by the Herd, barely sentient workers who think only of their next vacation. They’re too bored witless to notice that there’s a special ingredient in every hunk of sugary delusion that comes off the conveyor belt.
All the fun and frivolity the Spiral can afford is here on the rainy boardwalks of the Carnevale. This creaking, clattering collection of carnival rides and games is host to those members of the Herd to have survived to reach their day off from the Factory.
Sadly, for them, it’s not all fun and games. With their senses distracted by the flickering lights and sugary snacks, no one notices when their members are ruthlessly culled by all manners of midway mishaps and dragged off to a sinister end.
Low and Alone will have to avoid these hapless rubes as well as the malicious Puppets who run the stalls along the main thoroughfare. Those tiny terrors don’t appreciate anyone who distracts their marks, and they’re not afraid to give any interlopers the old heave-ho.
All of these wooden carnies work alongside the Kin, the ringmaster of the show. Both the main attraction and its true beneficiary, the Kin lives through his audience. He captures Low and Alone to add to his array of freaks, and they’ll have to work together to avoid dying on the stage.
At the heart of the Spiral, there is a distortion. An unreal reality that lives crouched in the depths of the jungle. When Low and Alone arrive there, it is an old, decrepit and abandoned institute. This place is like a well-known face seen through a dark mirror – only barely recognizable.
The jungle has wound its way into the veins of the facility: beautiful and deadly carnivorous flowers lurk among the invading foliage, waiting to snap their tendrils around any tender neck that wanders by.
The original staff of the hospital aren’t going to succumb without a fight, though. Attentive Nurses still occupy the more intact portions of the campus, still waiting for someone to treat.
A greater menace lurks somewhere even deeper within the dank passageways. But to learn more, you’ll need to survive the experience for yourself.
Q&A - LITTLE NIGHTMARES III
Co-op is online-only and both players need to be playing on the same platform. It is not restricted to certain sections — the whole journey can be experienced with a friend, where every risk and scare feels even more intense when shared. If only one of you has the game, don’t worry!
Thanks to the Friend’s Pass feature, you’ll be able to invite your friend to play with you even if they don’t own the game. You will need an internet connection to play in online co-op. Depending on the platform you are playing on, you might need to subscribe to an online subscription service (PS+; Xbox Live; Nintendo Online).
This way, whether you choose cooperative multiplayer or the solo play, the experience stays equally immersive and complete. In single players, you’ll be able to choose which character you want to play between Low or Alone.
Free Trial & Friend’s Pass allows you to play the beginning of the game in solo or online co-op. For more information on the Free Trial & Friend’s Pass, click here.
