It seems Little Nightmares is being given for free at:

  1. the Bandai Namco EU Store (it seems to have ended -- thanks Chev).
  2. the Banda Namco NA Store (thanks, TheCheshireGuy).

Hopefully interested parties will be able to snag a copy for themselves. Cheers!

Remark: for the EU site, I have seen some reports that the link works "better" if you visit that page under incognito mode (one less redirect or something).

Did anyone on NA actually get a key

I guess not, I used several emails and got nothing, just a "Thank You For Participating In Our Giveaway!" for all emails.

I'm guessing that all the Europeans that made several accounts to grab multiple useless keys are the reason there were none left for Americans. They don't even get CV for them on SG because they're free. I saw some accounts gave away 10 copies here. I'll never understand that behaviour.

I'm not complaining, I'm in EU and got my copy. But I didn't feel the need to use several emails to try and pick up more copies in NA giveaway. :P

I advise you to not look at trading websites like barter.vg...
There you can find people who have 40 keys in their list. :/

Haha! Yeah, I believe you. I don't like the trading culture. There are too many people who try to get a lot more for their bundle and free keys, so haven't checked out those sites in a long long time. Some people are cool, but too many greedy little sharks in those waters. LOL!

I got mine yesterday, but it went to the spam folder. Honestly, I forgot that I had placed the order, but seeing this thread today led me to remember and check my email in depth... and luckily, found that i receive a key.

I'm not one to complain about freebies but it really is kinda crappy to write "Congrats! You'll get your key within 2 weeks!" Then you open the email, and suddenly it's "You didn't win!" Legit didn't even know what "contest" I was in for a moment. Would've preferred they just admitted the request volume was higher than anticipated or something.

Did they actually say we'd get a key or that we would get an email? I can't seem to remember their exact wording, but I'm sure they worded it in a way that covered their bases.

Yeah, I remember the wording on the NA site was a bit strange, it did feel different from the EU one. Maybe wayback can help.... got it:

"Start your nightmare with Little Nightmares on PC via STEAM®! Sign up by January 17th, 2021 for your chance to claim a free copy.
This offer is only available for a limited time, so hurry while supplies last! Codes will be delivered via email within 2 weeks from the promotional date.
The code must be redeemed by February 17th 11:59pm PST."

So, yeah, technically it can be read as a raffle ("for your chance"). But it feels misleading to me, especially when paired with the EU site.

Wow, so now I don't even have a legitimate argument against them. They're so scummy though. That whole email makes you feel like you won save for that one word..."chance".

Well, they also say "Start your nightmare", probably referring to the flurry of spam E-mail you will receive after subscribing to them... :( :( :(

Ah, "chance." After the EU giveaway it sounded like "Now's your chance to grab one in NA!" Poorly worded, even if unintentional. I'm not pissed or about to go complain at them, but that's still rather misleading.

edit: Also now wondering did anybody "win" lol

“Sign up by January 17th, 2021 for your chance to claim a free copy.”

Do you think they only gave away 1 copy? 😂

Moreover:

"Claim: a demand or request for something considered one's due."

So I guess we all claimed that one copy, it is just that we didn't actually receive one. :P :P

At the top of the email the one sent to me says, "Little Nightmares Code Giveaway", but I couldn't find the code. I assumed that since I got a key from eu that they wouldn't send me one.
