A first look at Little Nightmares II’s Hospital

Hello, dear Visitor. It’s such a pleasure to have you join us in the Pale City for this introduction to one of the charmingly horrific areas you’ll be exploring in Little Nightmares II, which will be available February 11, 2021.

The world of Little Nightmares is a place where adventure and horror travel hand-in-hand. It’s a place that’s not made for kids, and what’ll keep you alive are all the qualities this world tries to destroy. Things like cleverness, courage, and imagination.

A first look at Little Nightmares II’s Hospital

You play as Mono, a determined child who is tracking down the mysterious Transmission that seems to be warping and corrupting everything it touches. With his companion, Six, he’ll have to run, hide, and even fight to survive a surreal environment that has little care for children.

Today, let’s sneak into the trauma unit for a tour of the Hospital.

Mono and Six stumble into this run-down building as they seek shelter from a miserable rain pelting the Pale City, but once inside, they quickly discover the cure is much worse than the disease.

The Hospital is the home of the Doctor and his Patients, each one a collection of clattering parts that lurch after anything unusual in their environment. Save your sympathy, these hypochondriacs willingly came to the Hospital in search of a medical solution for the boredom infecting their lives. So the Doctor did what he could, taking away some bits and adding others as his artistic sensibilities saw fit. And once the process had begun, it’s not as if the Patients could voice a complaint.

It might seem like a benign system, but the search for self-improvement through medical intervention requires fresh treatments to keep the Patients satisfied that they’re getting cutting-edge care. That’s the fate in store for our little visitors if they get caught wandering the wards.

Fortunately, the Patients are very sensitive to light during their convalescence, and Mono discovers that his flashlight is just bright enough to stun them for brief amounts of time. But will one little bulb be enough to hold off an entire infirmary?
