      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)

      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.

    • @iroquoiskaram8639

      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.

    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

    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😂😂

    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.

  • @Skemati
    @Skemati 3 года назад +54

    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.

    • @interdimensional4288
      @interdimensional4288 3 года назад +9

      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.

    • @mercury8349
      @mercury8349 3 года назад

      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?

    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)

    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

    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.

    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 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.

    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)

    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.
