So, remember Broken Veil?

It was a video game inspired by Little Nightmares from some Russian developers. Unfortunately, according to some users on Reddit, development was paused several years ago and it is likely that it will not be resumed for quite some time.

So as not to ruin your day, I'm also here to introduce two other games that are heavily inspired by Little Nightmares and honestly, I'm more interested in them than Broken Veil.

End of Abyss

This is another one of those games developed by former Little Nightmares developers. From what we understand based on a trailer that came out quite some time ago, the game's premise is exploration on an alien planet, obviously with the isometric 3D perspective, but also with certain mechanics inspired by the Dead Space saga.

Lull. Rest after crying

For those who were fans of the first LN video game, this one might be of interest. Although its gameplay doesn't show much difference from its source of inspiration, the biggest difference here lies in the fact that the protagonist is not alone; she has to take care of a baby, and remember, she is still a child in a world full of monsters, as if she were in Nowhere, so let's just say this task is going to be quite difficult.

Finally, there is a mysterious game about which little is known, but whose legendary developers have captured the attention of the curious. I'm talking about Playdead. The creators of Limbo and Inside.

I've said that not much is known about it. Only that it will take a very similar perspective to Inside with certain strong science fiction elements, but other than that there's only very little concept art. And the truth is, I'm eager for this; it's been a long time since I've seen a game from them.

What are the odds - INSIDE turns 9 today!

Something I thought was pretty awesome about Inside while playing it was the fact that it managed to make light scarier than the dark.

Early on in the game, you learn to associate light with being detected, being visible, being exposed, being vulnerable. Instead of being a leap of faith into the terrifying unknown, the darkened areas you encounter soon become a sort of refuge, while well-lit rooms turn into something you actively avoid. It's a pretty neat subversion of an extremely common horror trope.
