By newsgame

The Runaway Kid is another character players can help escape the Maw in Little Nightmares. His story starts in the first DLC, The Depths, and there are also collectibles to keep an eye on while exploring. Six had actually seen the Kid before but never interacted with him, since he was painted as a background character. Here’s how to complete chapter 1 in Little Nightmares: Secrets Of The Maw.
