An engine can create and render anything but I have to ask if Little Nightmares's was meant to conjure up this city out of the static ; it's the mark of developpers no longer working at the seams and gashes of their voracious characters but instead looking to fit themselves within a horror canon. Now it's merely a question of cycles, of telling the only story videogames seem to be able to tell about their inner violence :

We become our own monsters and they in turn must be devoured by us.

Cliché and intellectually lazy
