The Eyes

The Enchanted Eyes are one of the Maw's security systems and a main obstacle of Little Nightmares. The Enchanted eyes are seen throughout the Maw, they appear twice in the Prison and once in the Residence. One of the Eyes guard the nursery to prevent children escaping and another guards the end of the Prison. Once the Janitor stands in the light, but he is not affected. The first Eye switches between three different locations. The effect of it can be avoided by hiding behind objects and even walking below its line of sight. If one walks into the light, the eye will immediately lock on to the victim and if they stay in the light too long they will petrify into a stone statue. The second Eye looks at the left side of a room and then follows the movement of a janitor cart, meaning it is motion sensitive. The Eye in the Residence activates when the ivory statue is moved from its place. It looks around the room at the left and right. There are a lot of other eyes around the Maw, but they are mainly symbols and sometimes part of puzzles.
