Tarsier Studios wanted to explore the "wild extremes" of childhood. The game's location, The Maw, had a piece of concept art created, "where all the worst things in the world could be left to rot".
Since they wanted the "childhood" theme, the team didn't want a powerful protagonist for the game. While the gameplay was described as stealth-based, Tarsier prefered to describe it as "hide-and-seek" feeling that even the term "stealth" gives the impression of an empowered character.
Announced in May 2014 with the title "Hunger", Tarsier didn't have a publisher for the game. After the teaser trailer released in February 2015, there wasn't any information about Hunger, until August 2016 when Bandai Namco announced that they had entered into a worldwide publishing agreement with Tarsier for Hunger, which had been renamed to Little Nightmares to differentiate it from The Hunger Games.
