The music in "Little Nightmares" is praised for enhancing the overall experience, contributing positively to its atmosphere. In contrast, the clone game lacks music, which detracts from the gameplay and makes it feel less engaging. Overall, while "Little Nightmares" excels in its musical composition, the clone fails to deliver a similar auditory experience.

The only thing I see them trying to do different is a first-person view that honestly seems unnecessary and more frustrating at most times. Movement, climbing, and jumping all feel like work. Free game, so neat to check out, but disappointed myself.”
