### 3/5 — Eh

*2026-04-21, version 1.2.0*

Was looking for a game similar to Inside.  Doesn’t come close.

### 5/5 — Best game on iPhone

*2025-12-29, version 1.2.0*

I wish there was a sequel like this, but in 3D like sequels 2 or 3. That would be amazing! I'd pay any price for it.

### 3/5 — Solid Game But Buggy

*2025-12-15, version 1.2.0*

Good game other then the fact that it wouldn’t let me get the last two achievements even though I unlocked EVERY secret box and got that achievement, it just wouldn’t give me the one for unlocking 12 and 16 boxes.

### 5/5 — Atmosphère intéressante

*2025-11-21*

Pas de dialogues. Des indices cachés dans le décor. Une ambiance noire et pesante. Une musique superbe. Des graphismes très sympas.

### 5/5 — Yippee

*2025-11-18, version 1.2.0*

Love it hope you see this cause I got to ask will you turn the sounds of nightmares podcast into a book

### 5/5 — I love Little Nightmares

*2025-11-18, version 1.2.0*

I love the little nightmare games they are so much fun to play I have all the games and all the collection so much fun it got me a little frustrated but still fun 5 stars! <3 :> byeeee

### 5/5 — Great but wish there was more

*2025-11-02, version 1.2.0*

This game was great but I wish there was a free dlc where six’s route takes place😔

### 5/5 — VERY good game

*2025-11-01, version 1.2.0*

So I like little nightmares I recently played little nightmares 3 with my sister, and I liked it, BUT this game is not what I expected, IT IS GOOD. And the puzzles are easy but not too easy, how I like it, 👍🏻 and I like the Chibi style. Although there aren’t 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 I said my positives here are my 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 I try to bump down the tree for *SPOILER ALERT* six, the pretender is already there and gets me. Like what? I have no time to go down faster, and when I respawn it gives me a total head start, okay? But why? Anyway play the game it’s worth it.

### 5/5 — Love it but a bug

*2025-10-28, version 1.2.0*

I love this game and I always play the franchise 

But one issue I’ve had is that 
When I beat the game and do the credits 
I don’t get the “It’s all over now badge”

Please fix and thanks

### 5/5 — 5 sterne spiel

*2025-10-25, version 1.2.0*

Bester spiel

### 5/5 — Just amazing

*2025-10-13, version 1.2.0*

This is the best game I have ever played in my life this game has so many puzzles and secrets you need to play this game now😍😍😍😍

### 4/5 — Very Little Nightmares

*2025-10-12, version 1.2.0*

It’s a very okay game for a old game good job.

### 5/5 — リトルナイトメアは何をしても神

*2025-10-12*

操作性とかスマホなのにやりやすいし面白くて、モバイルだからこその楽しさもあるし夢中になっちゃう！

ただ歩くだけって言う人人もいるけど、自分はただタップするだけでもホラーゲームとして面白いし簡単なのに逃げるところとか面白いのは凄すぎる！

ちゃんと悪夢っていう設定もスマホゲームなのによく面白く簡単なゲームで世界観守れたなってずっと思う！

リトルナイトメアって、ホラーもあるし謎解きもあるしストーリーもあるし考察要素もあるしアクションもあるしキャラデザもすごいしホラーゲームとして完璧だと思う。

リトルナイトメアは一生忘れられない神ゲームだな！！
最高なゲーム、そして体験をありがとうございます！！！！！😭

バグとかで低評価付けてるやつさぁ、お前らの頭とスマホがゴミなだけだよ🗑️

### 2/5 — Unbearable point on click

*2025-10-10, version 1.2.0*

I like this game very much but the point and click in this game is horrible definitely hinders suspense and thrill of the chase sequences  
Especially in the end

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2025-09-30, version 1.2.0*

Very fun game and would highly recommend. The puzzles in the game are so engaging.

### 5/5 — I LOVE ITTTT

*2025-09-26, version 1.2.0*

i've been playing little nightmares for a while now i've already beatin the first two games and i have the 3rd game pre-orders and i love this one too id highly recommend you get this too if you like the other games!!

### 5/5 — This game is amazing

*2025-09-13, version 1.2.0*

It’s a great instalment to the little nightmares series great world building good game to pick up for a long ride definitely worth playing would recommend

### 5/5 — Best game ever

### 1/5 — Eyeballs

*2026-02-13, version 1.2.0*

I tried turning it on I didn’t work I tried turning it off still didn’t work so I wasted £7 on this horrible game

### 1/5 — Nothing like actual little nightmare

*2025-07-24, version 1.2.0*

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.

### 1/5 — Infaisable sur IPad !!

*2025-02-04, version 1.2.0*

Jeu linéaire sans intérêt, aucune originalité et personnage copié sur celui de monument Valley..capuche rouge remplacée par une jaune!. Sur IPad les déplacements sont difficiles et quasi aléatoires : 1 clic = 1 avancée..parfois 2 avancées…ce qui fait que pour le passage où il faut éviter les projecteurs, cela fait 1 heure que j’y suis…j’abandonne…. Aucune énigme, aucune casse-tête…bref grosse arnaque à 7,99€!!

### 1/5 — Игра дно

*2024-11-16*

Игра дно
Ужасное управление после первой все теперь не так интересно даже упасть нельзя

### 1/5 — Trash banking on little nightmare fame

*2024-01-23, version 1.2.0*

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

### 1/5 — Muy caro para lo sencillo y corto que es

*2023-05-16, version 1.2.0*

No hay puzzles, es ir avanzando con el muñeco. Se han gastado todo el dinero en el departamento de arte, la jugabilidad es muy escasa y es demasiado caro

### 1/5 — Bait and switch

*2023-04-23, version 1.2.0*

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.

### 1/5 — Se bloquea y no carga

*2023-04-17, version 1.2.0*

A partir de un nivel no sigue el juego y se para. He instalado todas las actualizaciones de tablet como del juego y dejado espacio. Pero nada...

### 1/5 — Bug

*2023-02-13*

Level 13 is impossible to pass, the girl even running fast can’t get the door fast enough after puting gas on the monster.

### 1/5 — In Level 14 ist Ende

*2023-01-22, version 1.1.4*

Eigentlich ein gutes Spiel, aber in Level 14 stürzt es (an beliebigen Stellen) nur noch ab. Ich habe Geld dafür bezahlt, dann erwarte ich auch, dass ich komplett durchspielen kann, das ist richtig schlecht!

### 5/5 — Nice

*2026-08-05, version 1.2.0*

Nice game👍

### 5/5 — BIG FAN OF LITTLE NIGHTMARES

*2026-07-07, version 1.2.0*

I LOVE LITTLE NIGHTMARES I BEAT BOTH OF THE CHAPTERS AND I LOVE THIS 10/10 GAME

### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing!

*2026-07-01, version 1.2.0*

The game is fun, and when playing even though I know I’m not the best at games! It was surprisingly challenging at parts and alot of the puzzles are actually unique and require you to use a little more thought than you’d imagine! I love the art style and I believe the game is a great service to the franchise! The only game I’ve spent money on my iPhone and I don’t regret it! Please consider playing it if you are looking for a fun game!
It’s not incredibly long but I believe for the fun and simple gameplay it’s worth paying for especially if you’re a big fan of the franchise like me! 
10/10 game would recommend :D

### 5/5 — Great spinoff

*2026-06-04, version 1.2.0*

Enjoyable and immersive spinoff mobile LN game that is essentially a prequel, with a somewhat lighter tone (as the Hobbit is to the LOTR books). Outstanding art, great sound design and music, puzzles are lightly challenging, achievements are really fun to track down. I prefer more explore-and-solve puzzles and few (or no) boss fights, so the balance in this game really works for me. I loved the storyline of learning about the trolls. 

The only problem is that it’s quite short. And be sure to watch through the end of the credits to be caught up on the lore revealed in this game.

### 5/5 — とても面白い

*2026-05-30*

謎解きがとても面白いし敵から逃げるのにも少し頭を使うのも楽しいです。

### 5/5 — VLN

*2026-05-19, version 1.2.0*

I love this game but I must say I think we need more monsters also the ending was really fun to play but the story  makes no sense at all

### 5/5 — Она Крутая

*2026-04-21, version 1.2.0*

Вауууууууууууууууууууууууууууууууууууууууууууууууууууууууууу

### 5/5 — J’adore !!!

*2026-04-06*

Ce jeu est très bien pour faire des énigmes et en plus fait un peu peur… Je l’ai sur la Nitendo fait à l’ordinateur. Il fait bien réfléchir !!! Bravo pour avoir créé ses jeux. Merci.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-03-18, version 1.2.0*

This game is so much fun I love  itttttt

### 5/5 — リトルナイトメア( ˘ω˘ 🫶)

*2026-03-17*

マジで雰囲気だけでも最高だけど、ちょっと難しい（？）のがハマる！始めたばっかだけどどんどん進めるぞー！
