Plot
Little Nightmares tells the story of a young girl, Six, trapped in the depths of a strange vessel, as she escapes captivity. Surrounded by grotesque creatures and perilous traps, Six must use her wits, small stature and more than a little luck to escape.

Location
The entire game takes place in The Maw, a large, mostly submerged, island vessel, floating in an undisclosed location. Six must make her way through various parts of The Maw, crawling through drains, wading through piles of detritus and climbing, always climbing ever higher until she finally makes her way out.
