In Little Nightmares, the world itself is built on consumption. The game's protagonist, a small yellow-clad child called Six, is perpetually starving, and every creature she encounters—from the janitor who stores children in bags to the chefs who grind meat in a kitchen—is engaged in some form of eating. The player-character is not an innocent hero in a monster story; she is a hungry animal in a food chain, and the game's central thesis is that survival in this world means becoming complicit in its violence.
