I think the game is definitely a sequel but the end is a loop where it turns back to the past and go back to the ending its a never ending loop this is my theory In the past,six went to the Maw to kill the lady but she lost half her soul in the future and decided to go there again In the future,six dropped mono and he becomes the thin man and he wanted to kill six in a loop where mono and six journey to the fall and becomes thin man over and over So in my opinion the loop already began when six was in the maw till the betrayal she did it in the past but the reason is in the future its like you can never go further within these 2 timelines it stuck in the middle
@@toiletuser6988 Good point. If a sequel has to happen, if it still is related to these 2 games, it must be introducing something/someone that would break the loop. But then it would mean that there was at least 1 thing that was not affected by the loop (it was not looping along, and decided to change something later on)

is this what the creators meant when they announced that they were “making a tv show”? i was wondering how a tv show of little nightmares would work because there’s no dialogue, but if this is what they meant it makes so much sense
There was a lot of clocks throughout the game with random times that don’t make sense chronologically speaking, also is a big hint to time being messed up
I didn’t know if you knew this but in the hospital and there’s a door you can go behind and one of the bars are broken and you can go through there to get to a room with tally marks and a hole with a spoon right next to it...
I think at the secret ending six plans to go back to the maw because there's no life to consume unlike in the maw and in ln2 she's fading probably because she left the maw and couldn't find any life after
I believe the Maw is a refugee place...before the Lady starts doing witch magic. It would explain why the Maw always moves around every year as if the Lady is trying to escape the rays of the tower. The Lady must've been an inhabitant of the pale city which would explain the lady sculpture in a secret room, the painting of the teacher in the DLC, and so on. But then again the Maw could also be a restaurant this whole time and the Lady is just kidnapping children.
@@metathesiophobia1039 a producer or something (I can't remember the name) said a few years ago that the maw was something else before. So you might be onto something
A key piece of the puzzle I believed you looked over is the hanging man, in LN1. Its clearly important as the camera pans on him, he also resembles the tall dude. Maybe we’re not dealing with different points in time but maybe different parallel universes mixing together, thus the glitched and seemingly out of place objects.
The Hanging man IS the Thin Man. The way the chair on the left distorts in height all the way to reach him looks VERY similar to the way the buildings in the Pale city are distorted and leaning towards the Signal tower, and many many things in the environments look the same.
Going with the tv theory, since the viewers are the huge eyeball monster in the tower could be symbolism that the viewers are the true gods of fictional realities
@@canadianbacon8320 oh damn it's been such a long time I was 9 years old at the time I think it was a one word that guy I evolving around a clock in the guy with trap in a black and white world and he took too much time it shut and he was trapped in there forever I am trying to remember it was such a long time ago
TV is a weird time loop as it is. A little portal that can take you to different times(reruns) or show the world in different ways. You can watch half an episode of Friends, turn it off, and then come back later and finish. If you watch Season 1 of the Sopranos for the first time in 2011, The finale season has already aired.
Amazing theory, I like it a lot! It also reminds me of Schrödingers cat, that things only "happen" when they're observed! The eyes could be the observer and everything in the signal could be the cat! Everythings happens and doesn't happen, it's more of a cloud of probabilities! Not infinite possibilities, but multiple ones, and each game is a certain collapse of them into one. Something along those lines haha
The names of some of the songs off the soundtrack lend to your theory as well "Captive Audience", "Disposable Entertainment"... that sounds like TV/Programmer speak to me
to back up your theory I noticed at the very start of the game when you go inside the tunnel and move around a bit you’ll notice mono touching the fourth wall (us the viewers) the exact way he touches the tv screens to teleport!
I was thinking that too, a way of marking each time they’ve been through. Reminds me of “the silence” from doctor who where they tally themselves to remind them how many times they’ve seen an enemy that instantly wipes their memory once looked away from
The tv theory reminds me of how WandaVision's tv thing works, the more far away you go from Wanda, you stop moving or you're stuck in a loop animation, kinda like when you get far away from the Signal Tower, you cant move at all
@@cronicunknown8989 five nights at freddy's 2 is a prequel to fnaf 1 So saying little nightmares 2 is a sequel to ln1 just because it's got a 2 doesn't really hold up
Your theory actually makes sense, I'm obsessed with LN theories :)))) My take on it is that it's actually a nightmare (like the name implies) that is happening very randomly like a dream would do, and the "scenes" that they come across are actually real life traumas, like maybe the "hunter" was the representation of a grampa who likes to hunt animals and taxidermy them which is very scary, and next it's the school where are bullies everywhere and the teacher is very strict and the long neck might represent the fact that they are always watching our every move.. the doctor might represent the take on a kid to his work, like people go there to "fix" themselves and they become other beings after surgery or something like that. The TV part with the Thin Man is representing people who are brainwashed by technology.. Maybe this is all just in the head of a mentally ill kid who has hallucinations or something.. I dunno, can't ramble too much tho, it's just an idea😂😂
In little nightmares 1 the ending when the thin man was on the tv when the cradit finish and there is a room which looks like the one which is 6:13 and is same in 15:34. And your theory makes so much sense Edit : WOW I got so many like thanks guys!.
@@toiletuser6988 yeah I tried to explain that to the People who said it's a Prequel that the Game is in Truth a Sequel but they won't believe me. I mean like the Devs even directly said it's a Sequel and I said that to them too but they still didn't believe me!
This is actually makes sense. Remember there are six children in one picture... I forgot but I've seen a picture where there are Six children. If you combine the boss from LN1 and LN2, there are six bosses.
I like to think that when Six is kidnapped she’s spat out a tv and landed on the suitcase in the first game. So while Mono is trying to save her, Six is experiencing what happens over and over in the first game in a time loop and the repeated gaining of the black magic warps her. She treasures the magic box because the music is something peaceful in the world of their enemies. So the suitcase by her when Mono gets to her is her being spat out the tv above it out of the viewer’s sight and she is warped and stretched because of the repeated dark magic gain and loss
I love the pictures in each game showing up both places. I found a small portrait of a porcelain kid with a broken head in the lady’s quarters in the LN1 DLC. I know there’s others like the teacher but for some reason a porcelain kid picture blew my mind haha. Deciphering every photo and drawing gives so many clues and I get so frustrated when it’s too dark or blurry to fully see. It’s interesting that residents would have photos of the teacher and school children in their houses though
I like the idea of Six looping with Mono and figuring out what is going on and potentially trying to save Mono from the loop, and realizing that she can only escape without him. So not only has she suffered some variation of everything that happens to her in this run, but she's done it several times and has reached her limit. If he comes with her, his power comes with him, and she hasn't found any way to stop it.
If your theory is correct then it may explain a few things. Like inside the school notice how some of the students already have their heads cracked. Maybe they were already killed by Mono before and after. Another thing is that one of the traps where a light swings down and hits the table notice how theres actually a mark on the table where the light hits the table. I'm guessing this is because this trap has been setup many times and has damaged the table multiple times before and after. And if your theory is correct it could also explain the very distorted and weird looking enemies you see. This part might sound confusing but let me just try to explain. This may be because their bodies are still aging but not really at the same time. For example they do not get hungry because it stays the same and their body does not grow taller or smaller. However their body textures and facial do change. So what I think is happening that they are aging and they are getting to a point that is beyond old. Their weird distorted faces form because they are growing up but because since they can't die of old age they go to a point that is beyond old. Does not make sense i'm not sure if i'm making sense. But i hope some of you guys understand.
That makes a lot of sense actually. Like, they are growing and aging disproportionately. And, the "bosses" or the main antagonists are in the latter stages of what will eventually happen to the viewers that escape. It makes you wonder if the longer this cycle goes on, the more warped and twisted the world and people will get until the "game" is unplayable because everything is falling apart and just barely alive. What I said is not really a theory because there's no evidence, but it's cool to think about.
In the little nightmares comics its shown a little boy with a lollipop defending himself from the bullies/students. He used his lollipop to crack the porcelain so that may be how some students have their heads cracked.
But the dolls’ heads are not in fragments like how you see in the games. I believe it’s from that kid with the lolipop and basically the dolls’ general roughness, the only doll head that doesn’t shatter when six or mono kills the doll is the one in the kitchen that mono uses, and it’s been a while but I think that shatters too after mono is done with it. But I do believe that we didn’t cause what happens to the monsters. It could be explained that the hunter couldn’t get a mask one way or another and uses a bag as a substitute, because if you take a close look, six and mono don’t shoot it in the face, they shoot in the general torso region, I think majority of the weird things are from the interference of the tower, like the hunter using the arm with stuffing in it like a regular arm, the same could be said for the teacher’s neck too because if it’s already been twisted and elongated then why isn’t her neck twisted in game, or why can she still breathe? Also the doctor’s “ashes” could be pieces of the ceiling falling and it’s just barely holding him up because we actually see the ceiling bend while he’s on it, the next thing is that the buildings are aged and some are not aged as much, but when the thin man is chasing mono if you manage to get quite far away time actually returns to normal, I believe this “field” of slowed time is the reason why some buildings are aged more than that of others, maybe mono learns to pretty much control the signal that the tower is putting out and thus is able to literally teleport through TVs or change his distance from the tower to him, maybe he learns that he can output the signal, and the tower is just using him to output the signal 24/7 and thus wanes because of the constant use, which also explains why mono bests the thin man and this is the tower replacing the thin man because his power has waned too much, and the tower is using the signal to absorb the life force of the viewers and thus dementing their face and extended exposure allows them use a concentrated burst of energy to kill. There are probably some holes in my theory but I think the theory in the video also has some holes too, like how did roger escape the signal if he was there?
You know what this theory is my favourite so far this actually makes a lot of sense based on what we see in little nightmares 2 and what you said in this video like it
the devs and writers behind this series are amazing, it really is a modern day gothic fairytale. Feels a lot like the old brothers Grimm stories but modernised.
This is a really good theory! I've been watching alot of theory videos on this game and its good to see so many and that they all make sense in its own way. This one particularly connects alot of dots which I didn't even think of. Great job!
I feel like when Six got her rain coat, it made her slowly, and slightly evil. Because in the beginning of Little Nightmares 2, she doesn’t seem hostile. She’s friendly to Mono, she even helps him. But she doesn’t seem all interested in his adventure. As you can see when you get to the school, she plays with the toys on the playground, and only follows Mono after a moment or two. But when she gets her rain coat, she slowly becomes evil. She can still control herself, but she can’t sometimes. Remember when she..well, eats the gnome in Little Nightmares 1? Well, if you look up while she’s doing that, you can see a glitch of herself. The glitch that you can she of her in Little Nightmares 2. I believe that her glitch is the evil part of her. Yes, the glitch helped Mono find Six in the second game, but as you keep dying as you are fighting Six, i think that’s what the glitch is trying to actually do is not help you. It wasn’t to kill you. And you may be wondering “well, if she becomes evil, why is she nice to the gnomes in the first game?” Well, like I said before, she CAN control herself. Rarely, but she can overcome the evil in her. This theory I have makes me believe that yes, Little Nightmares takes place in the past, not in the future. Hope you enjoyed reading this :) (I haven’t watched the whole video, I’ve been writing this whilst listen ING to the video, so tell me if he said any of this in the video please ;-;)
I partially agree with this. Six really cared about Mono. She helped him many times protected him and trusted him -and even when she was a monster she didn't hurt Mono until Mono broke the musicbox. She really sees Mono as her friend, if she didn't why would she pull Mono out of the TV so many times or why would she catch him in the first place (even though he would drop him) in the final scene? If this was a real betrayal she would have kept running without looking back I think the raincoat is from RCG and she wasn't a very nice guy either (she closed the door in Six's face, ik se did this to protect herself. But if we look at it that way, Six left Mono for the same reason). Glitches spotted after catching Thinman Six, so this has nothing to do with the raincoat And I think Six not evil kid dhe's just a survivalist (the 2. game of about says so in the about Six section) and she's doing to do anything for it. She didn't hurt the other nomes cuz she's not a sadist. She doesn't hurt anyone for no reason. But if she's in trouble, she does it (the nome RK, Lady and Mono where he left his hand. I still don't think what her did to Mono was betrayal but whatever)
@@v6valkyrie There's actually a theory that since the signal tower seems to keep the souls of the dead stuck in place (the glitches), the doctor used that to keep his patients alive. So he gave them hooks, mannequin parts, etc. and then put their glitched souls back into their new bodies. This also fits because they freeze when light is shined on them, like the bright surgery lights the doctor may have used.
This is such an interesting theory and not one I would’ve ever thought of myself! Time is definitely broken and distorted in this world and the reason I believe they decided to make it that way is that it allows for so much theorising and speculation, makes things less predictable and opens up opportunities for them to pretty much anything they want with the series without it having to follow a chronological order.
One thing that i think is worth mentioning whenever i see all this stuff about the hunter covering himself with the bag after death is that his design seems much more based around him being chosen to be shot or killed by someone else. People set to be executed used to have sacks tied over their heads (notice the rope on him too), but you also see victims about to be shot by assassins/kidnappers or something often covered up in movies. This point leaves it pretty vague as to why someone else would have him prepared to be killed rather than a sudden shooting like with six and mono, but it still seems like it holds up imo
I love this theory! This makes so much sense and gives so much meaning. Hopefully we could see some of the stories about Veronica in the next little nightmares 3. She seems very interesting
2:06 *Red Dead Redemption II entered the chat* So if this is a true sequel, the secret ending has to mean Six is going back to the Maw to stay and become the Lady and her powers only work at the Maw.
10:49 best part of your theory. It makes sense especially because you can hear the doctor breathing heavily and acting very rushed when chasing you, knocking over shelves and destroying so many patient parts on the way to get you. And when you burn him, he starts crying... as if this really happened to him before.
Exactly! When six escapes the TV at the end of little nightmares 2, then begins her journey into little nightmares 1. Also when playing little nightmares 2 you can see many clocks throughout the game and they are all stuck at different times, it could just be coincidental but there are so many intentionally placed around the game it seems purposeful.
I also believe the taxidermied family are like the maniquans at the hospital. The light above them hold them still but when it goes dark they can move. This makes the hunter much more interesting and bigger part of the game.
Also explains why all the clocks in the game show random times rather than being consistent whilst the ones in the maw seem to work. Pale city is preserved in a bubble created by the signal tower that breaks time and space meaning the effects of events happen before and after the events happen like time travel, maybe the “nightmares” hate six and mono because they’ve already been killed by them. This fits in well with the lady theory and why she’s so scared of six. One small thing is that the doctor could just be covered in ash because he burns a lot of patients, he is “obsessed with perfection” after all.
I have a question- what exactly did the developers said about the game being a sequel? Is it possible that the true message behind it was that LN 2 is a sequel to very little nightmares? But, on the other hand- I can really imagine the developer saying this was a sequel, implementing the time travel that is possible through television and knowing that none of the readers would understand at this point...
This is the most brilliant theory I have heard. I think you nailed it man! With your theory uts possible that Little Nightmares takes place, while Six is stuck in the TV, and ends when Mono pulls her out. Probably not, but its possible. You are definitely an outside thinker :) in so glad you are reaching out to play other games and not burning yourself out on Dbd because you are better than that!
@@v6valkyrie it's a prequel and a sequel for the box head character cause we see him turn into the thin man but Six escapes the town and gets the hunger after she betrays him, can't be a sequel without the signature hunger we know she doesn't have cause she had powers
@@v6valkyrieit seems like the tower can distort the time like he said because of mono being in the paradox the time doesn't change for 6 but we see stuff from the future in the pink room because the tower already saw it inside of the maw since we also saw the same eye character in it
(BATIM SPOILERS) 12:37 This happened in Bendy and the Ink Machine as well, the character you play as gets to the end, after Henry killed Bendy, he returned to Joey's house, Joey told him that he should visit the workshop they worked in when Henry has spent all 5 chapters in that workshop, I mean under it, but you get it, when you re-enter the workshop, you still have the device that helps you see invisible writings on the wall, you can see that the days were numbered for a really long time.
Around 16:00 what if Long Arms blinded himself so he stopped "watching" the show. What if Six is now hungry because she or that part of the time line of her is now out of the loop. She wasn't hungry before because time was stuck. I read a story years ago about some kids taken outside time itself and for several hours and realized they weren't hungry. Then when they came back they felt hunger sink in.
i also noticed that there is night time from the begining until the end which doesnt make sense for a small kid to do all of that in one night in terms of speed and not get to the next day?, so maybe the present is broken or in shock,or that just could be because of nightmares are always dark and takes a really long period to recover/wake up
One of deepest games ever made. I go with the theory that states that its a loop cuz nightmares tend to be repetitive like an endless loop until u wake up. Ofc , its juz a theory and every theory stated has what backs it up. Thank you for the great video my friend.
It would be interesting to know what an un-altered Viewer would look like. Though the many advertisements scattered throughout the city portray the citizens as eyeless, which is a bit odd because of how accurate it is. So does that mean that the Thin Man’s signal has been going on for much longer than we think. And how long does it take for a Little Nightmares human to grow? Based off of what we see in the Hunter’s cabin and with Mono, the children are incredibly small up until they reach puberty, which is when they grow incredibly tall, though only certain individuals grow to be as tall as the Thin Man or Lady. This is also also shown with the Hunter, Teacher, and Viewers, as all three are relatively the same height- meaning that they are what is to be considered the average height for a full-grown adult in the LN universe. Also, what exactly is the setting? The Pale City seems to be fashioned after an early to mid 20th century Japan. To further this, the many advertisements are in Kanji. The Governess is also a Geisha and her Maw is a mixture between Industrial and Edo Japanese architecture, and her guests are seen wearing Kabuki masks.
So here's a thought about Spoon girl or 3 as some people call her. The reason her nose is always bleeding is she's in something called a Temporal Displacement, where she's stuck outside of the timeline and as you said, it's like a tv show, so it's stuck on rerun constantly to where she always loop back, this is why whens he digs her hole, she ends up back where she was and how she keeps getting a spoon when it breaks. Also fun fact: If you go to her room in game and jump down the hole, you don't travel anywhere, you die, but you hear lots of squeak sounds as if the girl may have died to a rat infestation maybe?
where mono saves 6 in the hunters cabin, 11:55 on the wall with the marks is that a drawing of the thin man also the signal tower? maybe those marks are how many times she has been through the situation/episode already.
One thing that I just thought of. What if six and monos names are important? This game is a sequel not a prequel, because for six and this mono it’s their first time. However the mono before and the lady before six which could be called five and so on for 6 total (so far) iterations) went through the same fates while mono is the constant factor, he’s a a tv character brought to life and playing out the role of the thin man to be
Statement about the "every 2 usually happens after the first" the game series known as FNAF has other opinions, because that game jumps around the timeline like hopscotch.
Another thing about reliving the same timeline, When you Die, you re-spawn right before the event (for obvious game reasons) Rewinding or purgatory. Does this help with the Theories? Cause some games like Undertale did this that when you reload, your actions are remembered, but un-done. also, nice to have found your channel man, I saw you grow from the hundreds. im Happy for you, you seem like a nice guy :)
I have a bit of a mini-theory that works with the time loop theory: the mono and six we play as in the games are actually the seventh loop. The original mono and six (I'm just going to refer to them as the Powers collectively) ran into each other in a similar situation to LN2, but six never betrays mono, nor does she steal a bit of his powers and thus fracture her soul. Instead she keeps the original version of her absorption ability, that being contact instead of consumption. The years pass, the Powers grow up and find ways to boost their abilities or get around downsides, but one day they do an experiment that involves combining the supernatural forces they control. And it goes wrong. They are sent out of the timeline partially, in a constant loop. And their abilities have changed as well, while not able to be used on each other, they have gained new facets. Six could now project abilities like a SIGNAL booster, but whenever she absorbed something it would add to her biomass. She would become the signal tower. Mono could now control people's minds and draw them to him, but using the power on machines like he used to would cause him to slowly absorb the device, causing him to grow in size and become more technological. He would become the maw. They realise this, and anchor the loop around themselves and decide to look after each others counterpart, before going to different locations and letting their abilities to take over to become the forces we know now. Okay, read that back and noticed that it isn't a mini theory, more a full theory mixed with headcanon.
I think this ties to the lovecraft themes in a way. As this sort of time jumble could also be seen as infinity. As infinity is a concept that encompasses everything, and is often a theme within lovecraft's stories. In that humans cannot comprehend infinity. And as such cannot comprehend the gods of lovecraft's stories
Don't forget everywhere you see like clothes in the shape of a person there is a TV close by every time the tv's suck the life force out of people to eventually join the meat mass that's why in the little nightmares twitter page they showed us a picture of clothes with the text where they are going they don't need these anymore

After the Devs statement today it looks like we might not get Little Nightmares 3 considering Tarsier Studios is done with the franchise as they want to create new IPs.
the tv show idea is interesting, but i definitely agree with time being broken and the first and second game occurring at the same time. i noticed other constantly smoking objects etc, and didn’t like how very little nightmares lined up with little nightmares 2. i actually originally thought that while the thin man had taken six, that that was when little nightmares happens and then thought mono finding monster six was him finding her after the events of little nightmares, but quickly didn’t feel like that fully fit with the rest of the ending. it definitely had the vibe of different parallel realities intertwining and/or the same timeline collapsing in on itself from one point (whenever the signal was broadcast, i presume)
@@Tericho Thank you so much! This is the song I was looking for. So many people have this song in the background of their theory videos, and I’ve been looking for it for a long time now!
Ayyy thanks for including the mobile game! Also I'm a sequal supporter, the Devs have denied it a prequal and there's a lot of evidence which cannot be explained if it's a prequal.
Six now she had her powers probably wants to run away, and left behind her raincoat. She runs away from her destiny,except mono brings her back. Six has already been to the school and the hospital before, her portraits are around them. She runs away from her new position as head of the maw but at the end we have sixs dark self look at the maw as if saying she cannot escape her way of death and such.
Time being broken would explain the broken clocks on the cover
woah i never thought of that
I think the game is definitely a sequel but the end is a loop where it turns back to the past and go back to the ending its a never ending loop this is my theory
In the past,six went to the Maw to kill the lady but she lost half her soul in the future and decided to go there again
In the future,six dropped mono and he becomes the thin man and he wanted to kill six in a loop where mono and six journey to the fall and becomes thin man over and over
So in my opinion the loop already began when six was in the maw till the betrayal
she did it in the past but the reason is in the future its like you can never go further within these 2 timelines it stuck in the middle

"The Maw is the only place in the world that makes sence"
Remember that
I think at the secret ending six plans to go back to the maw because there's no life to consume unlike in the maw and in ln2 she's fading probably because she left the maw and couldn't find any life after
@@Mewos-l8z I agree
I believe the Maw is a refugee place...before the Lady starts doing witch magic. It would explain why the Maw always moves around every year as if the Lady is trying to escape the rays of the tower. The Lady must've been an inhabitant of the pale city which would explain the lady sculpture in a secret room, the painting of the teacher in the DLC, and so on. But then again the Maw could also be a restaurant this whole time and the Lady is just kidnapping children.

A key piece of the puzzle I believed you looked over is the hanging man, in LN1. Its clearly important as the camera pans on him, he also resembles the tall dude. Maybe we’re not dealing with different points in time but maybe different parallel universes mixing together, thus the glitched and seemingly out of place objects.
The Hanging man IS the Thin Man. The way the chair on the left distorts in height all the way to reach him looks VERY similar to the way the buildings in the Pale city are distorted and leaning towards the Signal tower, and many many things in the environments look the same.
Going with the tv theory, since the viewers are the huge eyeball monster in the tower could be symbolism that the viewers are the true gods of fictional realities

Honestly I feel like if this isn’t it, the bar is very high for them to give a better explanation.
Sadly, they've abandoned it,

and try to make something cohesive yet original.
We don’t see 6 pick up the rain coat in Very Little Nightmares. It probably washed up on shore and got picked up and dropped off in the city.

TV is a weird time loop as it is. A little portal that can take you to different times(reruns) or show the world in different ways. You can watch half an episode of Friends, turn it off, and then come back later and finish. If you watch Season 1 of the Sopranos for the first time in 2011, The finale season has already aired.
Excellent video, not confused at all, tbh.
Gamers: Is LN2 a prequel or a sequel?
Developers: Yes
Amazing theory, I like it a lot! It also reminds me of Schrödingers cat, that things only "happen" when they're observed! The eyes could be the observer and everything in the signal could be the cat! Everythings happens and doesn't happen, it's more of a cloud of probabilities! Not infinite possibilities, but multiple ones, and each game is a certain collapse of them into one. Something along those lines haha
Oooft, the "observer" part of your theory could absolutely explain some of the mysteries of the eye!
I think the eye just shows the evil in the signal tower like the goopy mess has so many eyes
Dark TV Show
The problem with the cat thing is that is is happening just because we don’t see it,dosen’t mean it isn’t happening
@@thevioletskull8158 if you read my comment further, I explain what I meant by "happen". It's the probabilities collapsing into a stable state.
I think the Thin man was trying to help Mono so that he didn’t die
The names of some of the songs off the soundtrack lend to your theory as well
"Captive Audience", "Disposable Entertainment"... that sounds like TV/Programmer speak to me
Good one
to back up your theory
I noticed at the very start of the game when you go inside the tunnel and move around a bit you’ll notice mono touching the fourth wall (us the viewers) the exact way he touches the tv screens to teleport!
Tericho, what if the tally marks are for each 'episode'/loop of the time before kids are meeting their deaths? I think that would be very spooky
I was thinking that too, a way of marking each time they’ve been through. Reminds me of “the silence” from doctor who where they tally themselves to remind them how many times they’ve seen an enemy that instantly wipes their memory once looked away from
Oh dang this makes so much sense wtf??
Oh that's really dark. But I love that theory.
The tv theory reminds me of how WandaVision's tv thing works, the more far away you go from Wanda, you stop moving or you're stuck in a loop animation, kinda like when you get far away from the Signal Tower, you cant move at all

Your theory actually makes sense, I'm obsessed with LN theories :))))
My take on it is that it's actually a nightmare (like the name implies) that is happening very randomly like a dream would do, and the "scenes" that they come across are actually real life traumas, like maybe the "hunter" was the representation of a grampa who likes to hunt animals and taxidermy them which is very scary, and next it's the school where are bullies everywhere and the teacher is very strict and the long neck might represent the fact that they are always watching our every move.. the doctor might represent the take on a kid to his work, like people go there to "fix" themselves and they become other beings after surgery or something like that. The TV part with the Thin Man is representing people who are brainwashed by technology.. Maybe this is all just in the head of a mentally ill kid who has hallucinations or something.. I dunno, can't ramble too much tho, it's just an idea😂😂

@@edgymoji8260 kind of like the hive in inside
@@edgymoji8260 if u look at some old concept art u see they get. Sucked in TVs and dropped into the squirming abyss
I like to think that when Six is kidnapped she’s spat out a tv and landed on the suitcase in the first game. So while Mono is trying to save her, Six is experiencing what happens over and over in the first game in a time loop and the repeated gaining of the black magic warps her. She treasures the magic box because the music is something peaceful in the world of their enemies. So the suitcase by her when Mono gets to her is her being spat out the tv above it out of the viewer’s sight and she is warped and stretched because of the repeated dark magic gain and loss
I love the pictures in each game showing up both places. I found a small portrait of a porcelain kid with a broken head in the lady’s quarters in the LN1 DLC. I know there’s others like the teacher but for some reason a porcelain kid picture blew my mind haha. Deciphering every photo and drawing gives so many clues and I get so frustrated when it’s too dark or blurry to fully see. It’s interesting that residents would have photos of the teacher and school children in their houses though
I like the idea of Six looping with Mono and figuring out what is going on and potentially trying to save Mono from the loop, and realizing that she can only escape without him. So not only has she suffered some variation of everything that happens to her in this run, but she's done it several times and has reached her limit. If he comes with her, his power comes with him, and she hasn't found any way to stop it.
This actually makes so much sense thank you for explaining it
FINALLY a little nightmares theory that takes everything into account
If your theory is correct then it may explain a few things. Like inside the school notice how some of the students already have their heads cracked. Maybe they were already killed by Mono before and after. Another thing is that one of the traps where a light swings down and hits the table notice how theres actually a mark on the table where the light hits the table. I'm guessing this is because this trap has been setup many times and has damaged the table multiple times before and after. And if your theory is correct it could also explain the very distorted and weird looking enemies you see. This part might sound confusing but let me just try to explain. This may be because their bodies are still aging but not really at the same time. For example they do not get hungry because it stays the same and their body does not grow taller or smaller. However their body textures and facial do change. So what I think is happening that they are aging and they are getting to a point that is beyond old. Their weird distorted faces form because they are growing up but because since they can't die of old age they go to a point that is beyond old. Does not make sense i'm not sure if i'm making sense. But i hope some of you guys understand.
That makes a lot of sense actually. Like, they are growing and aging disproportionately. And, the "bosses" or the main antagonists are in the latter stages of what will eventually happen to the viewers that escape. It makes you wonder if the longer this cycle goes on, the more warped and twisted the world and people will get until the "game" is unplayable because everything is falling apart and just barely alive. What I said is not really a theory because there's no evidence, but it's cool to think about.
In the little nightmares comics its shown a little boy with a lollipop defending himself from the bullies/students. He used his lollipop to crack the porcelain so that may be how some students have their heads cracked.
But the dolls’ heads are not in fragments like how you see in the games. I believe it’s from that kid with the lolipop and basically the dolls’ general roughness, the only doll head that doesn’t shatter when six or mono kills the doll is the one in the kitchen that mono uses, and it’s been a while but I think that shatters too after mono is done with it. But I do believe that we didn’t cause what happens to the monsters. It could be explained that the hunter couldn’t get a mask one way or another and uses a bag as a substitute, because if you take a close look, six and mono don’t shoot it in the face, they shoot in the general torso region, I think majority of the weird things are from the interference of the tower, like the hunter using the arm with stuffing in it like a regular arm, the same could be said for the teacher’s neck too because if it’s already been twisted and elongated then why isn’t her neck twisted in game, or why can she still breathe? Also the doctor’s “ashes” could be pieces of the ceiling falling and it’s just barely holding him up because we actually see the ceiling bend while he’s on it, the next thing is that the buildings are aged and some are not aged as much, but when the thin man is chasing mono if you manage to get quite far away time actually returns to normal, I believe this “field” of slowed time is the reason why some buildings are aged more than that of others, maybe mono learns to pretty much control the signal that the tower is putting out and thus is able to literally teleport through TVs or change his distance from the tower to him, maybe he learns that he can output the signal, and the tower is just using him to output the signal 24/7 and thus wanes because of the constant use, which also explains why mono bests the thin man and this is the tower replacing the thin man because his power has waned too much, and the tower is using the signal to absorb the life force of the viewers and thus dementing their face and extended exposure allows them use a concentrated burst of energy to kill. There are probably some holes in my theory but I think the theory in the video also has some holes too, like how did roger escape the signal if he was there?
Damn this is crazy. I really hope we get to see a LN3 game.

Your hopes have been fulfilled
You know what this theory is my favourite so far this actually makes a lot of sense based on what we see in little nightmares 2 and what you said in this video like it
the devs and writers behind this series are amazing, it really is a modern day gothic fairytale. Feels a lot like the old brothers Grimm stories but modernised.
This is a really good theory! I've been watching alot of theory videos on this game and its good to see so many and that they all make sense in its own way. This one particularly connects alot of dots which I didn't even think of. Great job!
I feel like when Six got her rain coat, it made her slowly, and slightly evil. Because in the beginning of Little Nightmares 2, she doesn’t seem hostile. She’s friendly to Mono, she even helps him. But she doesn’t seem all interested in his adventure. As you can see when you get to the school, she plays with the toys on the playground, and only follows Mono after a moment or two. But when she gets her rain coat, she slowly becomes evil. She can still control herself, but she can’t sometimes. Remember when she..well, eats the gnome in Little Nightmares 1? Well, if you look up while she’s doing that, you can see a glitch of herself. The glitch that you can she of her in Little Nightmares 2. I believe that her glitch is the evil part of her. Yes, the glitch helped Mono find Six in the second game, but as you keep dying as you are fighting Six, i think that’s what the glitch is trying to actually do is not help you. It wasn’t to kill you. And you may be wondering “well, if she becomes evil, why is she nice to the gnomes in the first game?” Well, like I said before, she CAN control herself. Rarely, but she can overcome the evil in her. This theory I have makes me believe that yes, Little Nightmares takes place in the past, not in the future. Hope you enjoyed reading this :) (I haven’t watched the whole video, I’ve been writing this whilst listen ING to the video, so tell me if he said any of this in the video please ;-;)
I partially agree with this. Six really cared about Mono. She helped him many times protected him and trusted him -and even when she was a monster she didn't hurt Mono until Mono broke the musicbox. She really sees Mono as her friend, if she didn't why would she pull Mono out of the TV so many times or why would she catch him in the first place (even though he would drop him) in the final scene? If this was a real betrayal she would have kept running without looking back
I think the raincoat is from RCG and she wasn't a very nice guy either (she closed the door in Six's face, ik se did this to protect herself. But if we look at it that way, Six left Mono for the same reason). Glitches spotted after catching Thinman Six, so this has nothing to do with the raincoat
And I think Six not evil kid dhe's just a survivalist (the 2. game of about says so in the about Six section) and she's doing to do anything for it. She didn't hurt the other nomes cuz she's not a sadist. She doesn't hurt anyone for no reason. But if she's in trouble, she does it (the nome RK, Lady and Mono where he left his hand. I still don't think what her did to Mono was betrayal but whatever)
The maneguins seem to actually have human torsos, so they arent fully inanimate. Just a lil detail i noticed.
Still this is a great theory!
@@v6valkyrie There's actually a theory that since the signal tower seems to keep the souls of the dead stuck in place (the glitches), the doctor used that to keep his patients alive. So he gave them hooks, mannequin parts, etc. and then put their glitched souls back into their new bodies. This also fits because they freeze when light is shined on them, like the bright surgery lights the doctor may have used.
Even the confusion is confused. 👁️👄👁️
That theory have a lot of logic, I understand more now.
This is such an interesting theory and not one I would’ve ever thought of myself! Time is definitely broken and distorted in this world and the reason I believe they decided to make it that way is that it allows for so much theorising and speculation, makes things less predictable and opens up opportunities for them to pretty much anything they want with the series without it having to follow a chronological order.
If a DLC comes out, it could add to this theory.
it could be you playing as the dead guy on the chess board
There is one (nome's attic) but I don't know if it adds much to the timeline
@@carrotisalie, the only thing it adds is nomes in the pale city
@@SirenHead00 interesting......
@@carrotisalie I would say it adds nothing to the timeline I hope we get extra dlc chapters of the comic book kids
One thing that i think is worth mentioning whenever i see all this stuff about the hunter covering himself with the bag after death is that his design seems much more based around him being chosen to be shot or killed by someone else. People set to be executed used to have sacks tied over their heads (notice the rope on him too), but you also see victims about to be shot by assassins/kidnappers or something often covered up in movies.
This point leaves it pretty vague as to why someone else would have him prepared to be killed rather than a sudden shooting like with six and mono, but it still seems like it holds up imo
Thin man is confused

So if this is a true sequel, the secret ending has to mean Six is going back to the Maw to stay and become the Lady and her powers only work at the Maw.
10:49 best part of your theory. It makes sense especially because you can hear the doctor breathing heavily and acting very rushed when chasing you, knocking over shelves and destroying so many patient parts on the way to get you. And when you burn him, he starts crying... as if this really happened to him before.
If this had been a try not to laugh challenge, I lost at 1:40. That Mono scream was too much. XD
I started this video from the time it started from the time it ended how did I miss that how did I miss that I must be stuck in a loop to
Exactly! When six escapes the TV at the end of little nightmares 2, then begins her journey into little nightmares 1. Also when playing little nightmares 2 you can see many clocks throughout the game and they are all stuck at different times, it could just be coincidental but there are so many intentionally placed around the game it seems purposeful.
I also believe the taxidermied family are like the maniquans at the hospital. The light above them hold them still but when it goes dark they can move. This makes the hunter much more interesting and bigger part of the game.
And you can see the bullet didn't go into his face it was a body shot 🤣 I'm proving all this wrong.
@@jamiestanway4530 the bullet couldve hit his arm which is why it looks like it’s ripping
14:04 " maybe all that I've work on is not exactly true.. BUT it's awesome to think it is" XD
I realize that in the end, six leaves through a TV, furthermore proving that they were stuck in a channel or “episode”.
Also explains why all the clocks in the game show random times rather than being consistent whilst the ones in the maw seem to work. Pale city is preserved in a bubble created by the signal tower that breaks time and space meaning the effects of events happen before and after the events happen like time travel, maybe the “nightmares” hate six and mono because they’ve already been killed by them. This fits in well with the lady theory and why she’s so scared of six. One small thing is that the doctor could just be covered in ash because he burns a lot of patients, he is “obsessed with perfection” after all.
I have a question- what exactly did the developers said about the game being a sequel? Is it possible that the true message behind it was that LN 2 is a sequel to very little nightmares?
But, on the other hand- I can really imagine the developer saying this was a sequel, implementing the time travel that is possible through television and knowing that none of the readers would understand at this point...
This is the most brilliant theory I have heard. I think you nailed it man! With your theory uts possible that Little Nightmares takes place, while Six is stuck in the TV, and ends when Mono pulls her out. Probably not, but its possible. You are definitely an outside thinker :) in so glad you are reaching out to play other games and not burning yourself out on Dbd because you are better than that!

This happened in Bendy and the Ink Machine as well, the character you play as gets to the end, after Henry killed Bendy, he returned to Joey's house, Joey told him that he should visit the workshop they worked in when Henry has spent all 5 chapters in that workshop, I mean under it, but you get it, when you re-enter the workshop, you still have the device that helps you see invisible writings on the wall, you can see that the days were numbered for a really long time.

Around 16:00 what if Long Arms blinded himself so he stopped "watching" the show.
What if Six is now hungry because she or that part of the time line of her is now out of the loop. She wasn't hungry before because time was stuck.
I read a story years ago about some kids taken outside time itself and for several hours and realized they weren't hungry. Then when they came back they felt hunger sink in.

FNAF: That statement was false by many means

The way I'm watching this at 1am and knowing I wouldn't be able to sleep after it but this more important anyway
i also noticed that there is night time from the begining until the end which doesnt make sense for a small kid to do all of that in one night in terms of speed and not get to the next day?, so maybe the present is broken or in shock,or that just could be because of nightmares are always dark and takes a really long period to recover/wake up

One of deepest games ever made. I go with the theory that states that its a loop cuz nightmares tend to be repetitive like an endless loop until u wake up. Ofc , its juz a theory and every theory stated has what backs it up. Thank you for the great video my friend.
16:56 the real answer to those questions
Little nightmares timeline explanation: "It's a mess and time is not real anyways".
I'm loosing my mind at how genius this interpretation is
It would be interesting to know what an un-altered Viewer would look like. Though the many advertisements scattered throughout the city portray the citizens as eyeless, which is a bit odd because of how accurate it is. So does that mean that the Thin Man’s signal has been going on for much longer than we think.
And how long does it take for a Little Nightmares human to grow? Based off of what we see in the Hunter’s cabin and with Mono, the children are incredibly small up until they reach puberty, which is when they grow incredibly tall, though only certain individuals grow to be as tall as the Thin Man or Lady. This is also also shown with the Hunter, Teacher, and Viewers, as all three are relatively the same height- meaning that they are what is to be considered the average height for a full-grown adult in the LN universe.
Also, what exactly is the setting? The Pale City seems to be fashioned after an early to mid 20th century Japan. To further this, the many advertisements are in Kanji. The Governess is also a Geisha and her Maw is a mixture between Industrial and Edo Japanese architecture, and her guests are seen wearing Kabuki masks.
I like this
@@Slipperyslab Thanks
So here's a thought about Spoon girl or 3 as some people call her. The reason her nose is always bleeding is she's in something called a Temporal Displacement, where she's stuck outside of the timeline and as you said, it's like a tv show, so it's stuck on rerun constantly to where she always loop back, this is why whens he digs her hole, she ends up back where she was and how she keeps getting a spoon when it breaks. Also fun fact: If you go to her room in game and jump down the hole, you don't travel anywhere, you die, but you hear lots of squeak sounds as if the girl may have died to a rat infestation maybe?
2:10 what about fnaf2? It’s a prequel.
where mono saves 6 in the hunters cabin, 11:55 on the wall with the marks is that a drawing of the thin man also the signal tower? maybe those marks are how many times she has been through the situation/episode already.
Just look at Star Wars. That series was super broken at first
One thing that I just thought of. What if six and monos names are important? This game is a sequel not a prequel, because for six and this mono it’s their first time. However the mono before and the lady before six which could be called five and so on for 6 total (so far) iterations) went through the same fates while mono is the constant factor, he’s a a tv character brought to life and playing out the role of the thin man to be
The mini film...lol
this is honestly such a cool theory, i appreciate this one very much
Statement about the "every 2 usually happens after the first" the game series known as FNAF has other opinions, because that game jumps around the timeline like hopscotch.
Another thing about reliving the same timeline,
When you Die, you re-spawn right before the event (for obvious game reasons) Rewinding or purgatory.
Does this help with the Theories?

1:37 “aURaHhAH”
I have a bit of a mini-theory that works with the time loop theory: the mono and six we play as in the games are actually the seventh loop. The original mono and six (I'm just going to refer to them as the Powers collectively) ran into each other in a similar situation to LN2, but six never betrays mono, nor does she steal a bit of his powers and thus fracture her soul. Instead she keeps the original version of her absorption ability, that being contact instead of consumption.
The years pass, the Powers grow up and find ways to boost their abilities or get around downsides, but one day they do an experiment that involves combining the supernatural forces they control. And it goes wrong. They are sent out of the timeline partially, in a constant loop. And their abilities have changed as well, while not able to be used on each other, they have gained new facets. Six could now project abilities like a SIGNAL booster, but whenever she absorbed something it would add to her biomass. She would become the signal tower. Mono could now control people's minds and draw them to him, but using the power on machines like he used to would cause him to slowly absorb the device, causing him to grow in size and become more technological. He would become the maw.
They realise this, and anchor the loop around themselves and decide to look after each others counterpart, before going to different locations and letting their abilities to take over to become the forces we know now.
Okay, read that back and noticed that it isn't a mini theory, more a full theory mixed with headcanon.

I think this ties to the lovecraft themes in a way. As this sort of time jumble could also be seen as infinity. As infinity is a concept that encompasses everything, and is often a theme within lovecraft's stories. In that humans cannot comprehend infinity. And as such cannot comprehend the gods of lovecraft's stories
Don't forget everywhere you see like clothes in the shape of a person there is a TV close by every time the tv's suck the life force out of people to eventually join the meat mass that's why in the little nightmares twitter page they showed us a picture of clothes with the text where they are going they don't need these anymore
If I had a nickel for every time I saw a theorist make a theory video about an fandom being set in a television show, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but I love that it’s happened twice. First Alex Bale, and now Tericho. My man, you made a great theory, so I salute you and hope you can make more compelling theories coming forward..
After the Devs statement today it looks like we might not get Little Nightmares 3 considering Tarsier Studios is done with the franchise as they want to create new IPs.
Why would they end it like thisss? Ahhhhh
Welp. I hope we get a DLC that set things straight :/
Where is this statement? I can't seem to find it?
@@KvngLeroy1 It said in the statement that they're looking to create new IPs. It's a bit stupid if you ask me, Little Nightmares has a huge fanbase!
@@The_Desert_Hero pain😔🔫
the tv show idea is interesting, but i definitely agree with time being broken and the first and second game occurring at the same time. i noticed other constantly smoking objects etc, and didn’t like how very little nightmares lined up with little nightmares 2. i actually originally thought that while the thin man had taken six, that that was when little nightmares happens and then thought mono finding monster six was him finding her after the events of little nightmares, but quickly didn’t feel like that fully fit with the rest of the ending. it definitely had the vibe of different parallel realities intertwining and/or the same timeline collapsing in on itself from one point (whenever the signal was broadcast, i presume)
What is the music playing in the back? I’ve been looking through all of the OST and I still can’t find it. Can someone pls tell me?
The first track is Shattered Mirror by Jon Algar. If it’s a different track timestamp it for me and I’ll tell you which song it is!
@@Tericho Thank you so much! This is the song I was looking for. So many people have this song in the background of their theory videos, and I’ve been looking for it for a long time now!
Ayyy thanks for including the mobile game! Also I'm a sequal supporter, the Devs have denied it a prequal and there's a lot of evidence which cannot be explained if it's a prequal.
Six now she had her powers probably wants to run away, and left behind her raincoat. She runs away from her destiny,except mono brings her back. Six has already been to the school and the hospital before, her portraits are around them. She runs away from her new position as head of the maw but at the end we have sixs dark self look at the maw as if saying she cannot escape her way of death and such.
