About

The Runaway Kid wakes up in the engine area of the Maw, a dark and grimy place populated by Nomes. Only by finding and rescuing these curious creatures can The Kid make his way out of the Maw; but where are all these Nomes coming from? What secrets are buried in their nest? The Enhanced Edition offers higher resolution, improved visual effects, and is optimized for higher framerates. Additional helpers have been added to deliver an overall smoother experience. Save data is not compatible with the original 2017 game: Little Nightmares.
