Little Nightmares, one of the best and most original games of 2017, is about to delight and terrify you with an all-new sequel, Little Nightmares II. Less scary is the fact that you can play both of these games for free, with a couple caveats.

For Little Nightmares, Bandai Namco is handing out free Steam keys for folks who sign up for a mailing list. Though while the odds aren't nearly as steep as those for Mega Millions and Powerball, you'll still have to be on the lucky side; for some reason the company is limiting the number of digital keys they hand out. Hopefully this is more of a hype-generator than a resources issue because honestly the limited amount excuse doesn't hold water.
