âLittle Nightmares 2â review: an artful puzzle platformer bursting with creative imagery 4 In Simon Garfieldâs In Miniature: How Small Things Illuminate the World, he argues that shrinking things down to size satisfies an innate desire for elucidation and mastery. The regular world is chaotic, and so by reducing its scale â as seen in things like museum dioramas â we can more easily understand and control things. Little Nightmares 2 poses the opposite idea: what happens when the scale increases? When we ourselves are shrunk down, and the regular world appears bigger? Suddenly weâre hit with the reversed effects: order and control is replaced with deeper layers of mystery and a heightened sense of vulnerability. Comprehension melts away, and fear follows closely to fill the gaps.
