I feel as if the Janitor is one of the more forgotten monsters, but remains one of the most effective in either game. It's a horrifying look, but it's also very funny that he wears a too-small hat on top of that fleshless scalp, as if trying to hide the 'baldness.' Lacking eyes, the Janitor navigates only by sound and touch, silently feeling his way around with those long arms like some subterranean arachnid.

Most noticeably, the skin of the Janitor's face is rolled halfway down his skull, like you roll the top of a sock, and the skull itself appears to be smooth and faceless. The Janitor, like all other humanoids, resembles an exaggerated caricature of an adult so unnaturally magnified that he can crush Six or one of the Nomes in one hand, which is even easier given his abnormally long arms, which bend at more than just their elbows, disturbingly contrasted by short legs and an oversized head. The first hostile humanoid we ever see is still one of the game's most monstrous. Precisely what they are and why they exist, like everything else in these games, remains ambiguous. The fact that they're the same exact height, however, should ring some alarm bells as to what Nomes are, or at least used to be, and there are a few points at which they're seen to cast shadows in the shape of human children. Their frail appearance, skittish animations and facelessness are such a pitifully endearing combination that it's hard not to sympathize with them at first sight, especially when they make timid gestures of kindness towards the player character. They're among the only friendly, or at least generally harmless beings in the whole setting, and live a mouse-like existence of hiding in the walls and plumbing when they aren't stealing food.Ī grimy, conical hat completely covers the heads of Nomes, hence the name, but also evokes an old fashioned dunce cap. In the first game, these bony little humanoids are the first creatures you encountered after waking up in the huge, underwater fortress called 'The Maw,' and appear throughout the game as NPC's that sometimes guide your way. 2021 finally saw the release of a second game, actually a prequel story, and I think it's finally time I give this franchise some monster reviews, beginning with the first!

Reviewing Little Nightmares Monsters! Little Nightmares was an immediate hit back in 2017, putting players in the role of a faceless, mysterious little child struggling to survive in an equally enigmatic world of horrifying and distorted giants.
