LONE SURVIVOR
Games Like Little Nightmares
Fellow horror side-scroller Lone Survivor has you playing as a character being given directions by his hallucinations in a post-apocalyptic world. You’ll have to either sneak by the mutants of the world or kill them, but they can only be killed by a pistol and ammo is very scarce. Two-way mirrors are scattered around the environments that transport you back to your safe apartment, and in order to progress you will need to collect and use items in the right order in a point-and-click adventure game format.
Lone Survivor features a 2D pixel art style that infuses the gameplay with a charm that is similar to the way Little Nightmares’ dark but cute art style adds some originality as well. The monsters in both games are also distracted by light and sound, and it’s up to the player to sneak by them using whatever they can find to hide behind.
Lone Survivor released for PC in 2012, came to PS3 and PS Vita in 2013, and then to PS4 and Wii U in 2014.
