%% * StealthPrequel: [[spoiler: A secret ending reveals the game to be this to the original, revealing how Six ended up at the Maw as well as the origins of Shadow Six.]]
%%ZCE * SadisticTeacher: The Teacher qualifies as this. Bonus points for literally being called the "Sadistic Teacher" on the main website.

* ActionizedSequel: Zigzagged. While Mono is able to fight back against lesser foes using any weapon he finds nearby (such as a hammer or ladle), he's still helpless against the much larger and more dangerous foes and has to hide and/or sneak past them.

Little Nightmares II is the suspense adventure sequel to ''VideoGame/LittleNightmares'' developed by Tarsier Studios and published by Bandai Namco. It will release for PC, PS, Xbox, Switch and Stadia on February 11th 2021.

* BaitAndSwitch: In The Wilderness gameplay demo, Mono first meets Six in the Hunter's basement and he breaks into the room she's kept prisoner in and offers her a hand. Six comes out from her hiding spot and slowly reaches out as if to take it - then roughly shoves Mono aside and books it out the door. [[AxeBeforeEntering Not surprising, given how Mono entered the room she was in.]]

The game takes you outside the horrors of the Maw and into the horrors of what's beyond it; a vast land known as the Pale City. You play as Mono, a young barefoot boy wearing a paper bag over his head trapped in a world that has been distorted by the humming transmission of a distant tower with Six by your side as an AI companion. Together, the two must face the world outside of the Maw to save Six from an unknown fate.

* ActionizedSequel: Downplayed. In the first game, the main protagonist, Six, had to only run and hide from the monsters trying to catch her. Here, the protagonist, Mono, is able to at least defend himself from monsters. However, while the ability to fight back physically is present, Mono is only able to fight monsters his own size, and he can only do it should a weapon be nearby. Also, you can't keep the same weapon through the whole game, as many areas require Mono to leave the weapon behind (such as in the School gameplay footage and Hospital demo) or have it break in order to progress (for example, the sticks in The Wilderness demo).

All the saved tropes that were on the page before being removed with no reason and the page got cut. Saved so they can be re- added with ease instead of searching through the History page.
!!Little Nightmares II will haunt your dreams again with the following tropes:

* BearTrap: The forest is ''littered'' with these. Mono can avoid them by either throwing stuff at them or setting them off with a stick as shown in the gameplay demo.

* CantMoveWhileBeingWatched: As shown in The Hospital gameplay demo, this is zigzagged with the mannequins. If it's dark, they ''can'' move whether you watch them or not. It just so happens that you have to look at them to shine your flashlight on them.

* CreepyDoll: The Teacher's "students" are really [[https://youtu.be/MlX3kh1Y7Cg?t=34 living porcelain dolls]] and they're pretty unnerving to look at.

* LongNeck: The Teacher can stretch her neck to grotesque lengths.

* RunOrDie: Once the Hunter takes notice of Mono and Six, the only option is to [[https://youtu.be/XuQaxZUghD4?t=794 book it ''fast''.]]
* SackheadSlasher: The Hunter is wearing a sack with a single eyehole over his face and he tries to shoot Mono and Six as soon as he notices them.
* SuddenlyVoiced: After being quiet but for some gasps and grunts, [[https://youtu.be/XuQaxZUghD4?t=500 Mono provides the games' first spoken dialogue ("Hey! Psst!") when he tries to coax Six out of her hiding spot.]] Afterward, she herself utters a less clear word (suspected to be "high") when gesturing for him to help her pull the ladder down. It's sparse to be sure, but still a departure from the wordless cries uttered by characters in the first game. Not only that, but Mono can call out to Six and she replies back.

** The Teacher looks relatively human in appearance... until it is shown that she has the ability to extend her neck [[https://youtu.be/jVQn9jSgqAY?t=66 to great length]] and [[[https://youtu.be/TP_BJJm-n0g?t=54 twist it around.]]

* CantMoveWhileBeingWatched: Zigzagged with the mannequins. If it's dark, they ''can'' move whether you watch them or not. It just so happens that you have to look at them to shine your flashlight on them.
* CaughtInASnare: Mono can get caught in one of the Hunter's nets if he isn't careful while traversing the woods.
* CatapultNightmare: Every time Mono is killed, he'll be set back a few moments before it happened and shoot up as if the previous events were AllJustADream.
* ContrastingSequelProtagonist: Mono is shown to be a much scrappier protagonist than Six, although the latter is no slouch in the ActionSurvivor department. He is capable of picking up and swinging whatever weapon he can find to not only smash obstacles in his way, but also physically fend off enemies. Mono is also the tallest protagonist yet and wears no striking colors to set him apart from the world. The demo reveals that he's also a much more vocal protagonist as he yells when he falls to his death and can be heard breathing, gasping and such.
* CreepyDoll: The Teacher's "students" are really living porcelain dolls and they're pretty unnerving to look at.
* DarknessEqualsDeath: If the lights go out in any room in the hospital, the mannequins will wake up. You ''don't'' want that.

* MurderousMannequin: The mannequins in the hospital are perfectly docile when the lights are on, but will start to chase Mono down if they're not. The only way to (briefly) stop them is to shine Mono's flashlight on them.%%no citation
