Little Nightmares 3 Needs More Tailor-Made Options
The firstLittle Nightmaresfollows a little girl by the name of Six. It eventually becomes clear to players that the second game is actually a prequel, in terms of the story, that expands on the original. This title does well to show how Six originally combined forces with Mono, a boy who wears a paper bag over his face. Now,Little Nightmares 3will debut two entirely new characters: Alone and Low. Already, a great deal of interest has been piqued by their unique appearances.
One of the playable characters, Alone, is confirmed to be a girl.Little Nightmaresis continuing the trend of beingone of the creepiest games on the market, considering Alone’s disturbing appearance. In most cases, this black mask is typically worn by horses. Out the top of her head sticks two orange pigtails and in her hand, she can be seen wielding a silver wrench.
Her counterpart, Low, appears to be wearinga plague doctor mask, which consists of a curved beak and raven-like attributes. At different points in the trailer, the boy is seen with a white mask and a black mask. This suggests that different selections of attire could be available for the characters.
Both of the existing games have customizable features in the way of rotating headgear choices.Masks inLittle Nightmarescan be acquiredby either purchasing them or solving puzzles. Unfortunately, there are a limited number of hats and masks available, and some were exclusive to specific consoles.
Little Nightmares 3could benefit from creating more designs for individual expression, which could go so far as full-body outfits for both protagonists. The franchise has grown extremely popular for its story and multiplayer.Similar toIt Takes TwoandUnravel, friends and people in relationships have consistently flocked to the horror game to cooperate and beat the levels. It could be very appealing for a certain side of the player base to have matching outfits or complimentary ones.
Regardless of whether the two can wear similar clothes, there is no reason not to include more designs in general. Six was usually portrayed in her classic yellow raincoat, but it could be interesting to see different outfits forAlone and Low. WhetherLittle Nightmares 3will actually include more customization options is still to be determined, and since there hasn’t been an official launch day confirmed for 2024, it could very well be coming in Q3 or Q4. Hopefully, that will be enough time to usher this feature into the game.
Little Nightmares 3launches in 2024 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
