Little Nightmares is a creepy, stop-motion horror game for your subconscious

We’re pretty excited for this one – if you didn’t watch the original, extended Hunger trailer, then you should definitely check that out through here. Many had expected Sony to publish the game given its long-running relationship with the Swedish studio Tarsier Studios, but it’s Bamco instead who’s signed the project. Are you liking what you’ve seen so far? It will be your job to help her do this.

Bandai Namco’s VP of marketing & digital Herve Hoerdt says that the new partnership with Tarsier is the next step in their “strategy to further strengthen the company portfolio with titles developed from all over the world”.

Originally titled Hunger, Tarsier Studios has updated the name of their mysterious title to Little Nightmares.

Today, Bandai Namco has revealed a new intellectual property, we refer to Little Nightmares, a game that seeks to reflect the fears that we had in our childhood.

Little Nightmares – previously known as Hunger – combines the best parts from the stop-motion animation of Czech filmmaker Jan Švankmajer (Alice, Little Otik) and the early films of Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Delicatessen, City of Lost Children) to create a suitably creepy Uncanny Valley of skin-crawling monstrosities and implied cannibalism.
