Little Nightmares 3: Secrets of the Spiral

The Secrets of the Spiral is a pair of downloadable chapters for Little Nightmares 3. Developed for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Created in UE4, Little Nightmares 3 is an atmospheric horror-adventure game which follows Low and Alone as they navigate the dreamscape maze of the Nowhere. Featuring two-player co-op multiplayer and a single player mode with a companion AI, LN3 offers a slow paced puzzle-platformer experience which tests the cunning and nerve of it’s players.

I joined the team during the pre-production period of the as-of-yet untitled second expansion, for which I was responsible for:

  • Providing ideation, level design documentation and playable white-boxes for puzzles, stealth encounters, and exploration areas
  • Implementing functional multiplayer-enabled level logic for puzzles and various scripted elements throughout the DLC using Blueprints as they went from Whitebox to final
  • Implementation of companion AI logic, providing lone players with a satisfying single player experience using Blueprints
  • Contributing ideas for environmental storytelling beats throughout the experience
  • Implementation and upkeep of cinematics
  • General problem solving and bug fixing
