Just before you meet the Lady, you'll run into a Nome who offers you a bit of sausage to stave off your hunger.

One of the characters you meet along your journey through Little Nightmares is the Lady, a geisha-like woman who wears a creepy mask. Receiving a hug assuages their fears, if only for a short time, during which they'll follow you around. That act of kindness acts as a tonic to the Nomes: they, like Six and other kiddos, were taken from their homes. Given what usually happens to pint-sized people on the ship, who can blame them? When you're able to interact with them, Six gives them a hug. Then there are the Nomes, tiny creatures spooked by anyone and anything they come across. Think Hansel and Gretel, only on a ship instead of in a candy cabin in the woods. Each child is presented with toys and treats designed to fatten them up, at which time they're fed to passengers. The ship welcomes affluent guests, and the crew abducts children and stowed away in a prison located in the bowels of the Maw. Indeed, all the children aboard the Maw are, in effect, dinner. If that means scarfing down children like Six, they won't hesitate to feed their cravings. All guests are looking to satiate their hunger for meat. The Maw welcomes affluent passengers looking for a private place to indulge in their deepest, darkest appetites. As you're running from enemies, take time to consider their appearance and intentions, as well as those of other characters you meet along the way. Unlike many of her fellow passengers, Six has one goal in mind: to escape.

The Maw consists of a variety rooms and creatures, nearly all of which prove detrimental to Six's health. Part island, part underwater vessel, the Maw is a world unto itself. Little Nightmares is a story rife with symbolism that may require multiple playthroughs to decipher-unless, that is, you follow our guide to unpacking the game's enigmatic ending. After reaching the credits, however, many players find themselves perplexed. As you play Little Nightmares, you'll no doubt find yourself entranced by the game's colorful yet grimy visuals and the varied environments you'll explore aboard the Maw.
