CONTRAST
Games Like Little Nightmares
Not only do Contrast and Little Nightmares look a lot alike, their gameplay is very similar too with a big focus on light and dark puzzle-solving around the game’s darker environments.
In Contrast you play as Dawn, an elegant acrobat/imaginary friend who has a special ability to jump into shadows. She is accompanied by a small girl named Didi, who can often control light in the real world to help Dawn through platforming puzzles. Both Little Nightmares and Contrast have a unique twist to how a player goes about solving their puzzles, with being small in Little Nightmares being crucial in your ability to sneak and get through tight places, and Dawn’s ability to jump between a 3D and 2D world in Contrast offering up some interesting ways to construct puzzles as well.
Contrast originally released back in 2013 and is available on a variety of platforms including PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4.
