A number of these side scroller games that involve playing a vulnerable figure escaping from creepy enemies through a series of platforming puzzles have come out in the last few years. Little Nightmares happens to be a pretty good one though. It has a distinctive artstyle that really makes those enemies look horrifying. Tedium can sometimes set in with games like this through a mix of constant trial and error and figuring out the puzzle quickly but actually going through the actions being slow but the game does move fairly quickly. It's short which I feel is in the game's favour.
