So... it's kind of like a realm of perception based on the balance between abusive adults and abused children? The adults have the power first but they're unchanging and feed on the children, but as the children survive they lose their fear and eventually grow into even worse monsters. But as we saw with The Thin Man and Six's horrific transformation in Little Nightmares 2 the abused can very easily become the abuser. A cycle of pain and agony for all time.
Man it feels nice that everything is starting to come together. if bandai just left the franchise after LN2 we won't have the sounds of nightmares and LN3 and be stuck with so many possibilities for theories on its world with quite the lack of idea & answers of the world of little nightmares & etc. I'm glad Dave mervlk (the writer for the lore of LN & it's world) gave the lore to bandai in case they wanted to continue the franchise. If u want the source for where it was revealed that they gave the lore to bandai it was in a interview on RUclips with the writer/author iirc.
I believe SiSi (CeCe?) could be the Girl in the yellow raincoat (from VLN) the way Otto reacted to the raincoat suggests that A YELLOW raincoat is familiar to him in some way
I haven’t listened to the podcast but I also thought it might be interesting that if noone is six then maybe shadow six is her parasite coming out in the nowhere? If it sounds silly like I said I have pretty much zero context haha.
I feel the need to point out that yellow clothes in horror products are used to signal a victim, because yellow is a color that both naturally draws the eyes, and displays blood really well. Yellow raincoats on victim children has been a popular trope for a long time, as well as a popular real life product, and there is nothing to suggest that there has only ever been one yellow raincoat in LN.
@@NiqRipple what do you mean not even close, even with all the lore we can't even nail the timeline of Fnaf down, that fits how the original comment describes the little Nightmares series.
@@JcW1z the story of LN is told through the environment whereas FNaF’s is told through Easter eggs and books. FNaF’s story is also messy due to all the content unlike LN which is just a mystery.
The world of little nightmares is so horrifying and yet amazing at the same time and I love it, I can’t wait to see what they do next with the franchise.
It puzzles me how the Ferryman can think bringing kids to the Nowhere is protecting them. Maybe it was a dreamlike paradise once until the adults started forcing their way inside and turning into monsters?
Well, they do gain more power and ends up being "safer" for them than the real world, Mono was already powerfull enough to defend against anyone, the fact that six betrayed him and got him trapped is another story. And six herself just came from pray to predator at the end of her journey, feeding one everyone he came across It is far from an ideal solution, but maybe that's just has to do with the reasoning of the ferryman, he sends the child to a place where they can finally get the advantage over adults and invert the roles, but he forgets the fact that there's still a high chance they might not survive
@@Axelpvz2030Six is a girl js also I think the tower took control of her and made her drop Mono. It makes zero sense to reach out for someone then go "bye." She intended to catch him and then continue on like throughout the game but because the tower wanted Mono specifically for his powers to send out the transmission.
@@teammystic4life38Well, in Comics says Six suffered some "amnesia" before the events of LN (i know they are not canon, but still can be used), so probably the Tower turning her into a Resident made her lose all her memories and forgot Mono, so when she turned back, she feels Mono was a strange when he break her box, so she left him.
@@teammystic4life38i remember seeing a theory that says Six recognize that Mono's face looks like the tall guy that was chasing her. That's why she let him go
I love Otto as a villain. A man so desperate to find his lost sister, that he doesn't realize what may have got her there in the first place. The Nowhere lures kids who feel sad or like no one cares for them. As seen with how Otto puts Dreams first, Noone second. Otto is causing kids to go to the Nowhere by trying to find it. Which his terrible determination may have been what caused Cece to accept the Ferrymans offer. Otto is what makes a good villain, terrible person, understandable goals, but puts goals over what's right. Little Nightmares writers are so good!
@@Lumberjack_king Judging by his personality, he could've annoyed her or put things before her. Which could've have lead to the Ferryman taking her, and Otto regretting his actions when it was too late.
I think that The Ferryman is still a villain here, using manipulation tactics to trap Noone in The Nowhere, rather than actually intending to help her. I also believe that Cici/Sisi/Cece (not sure if there’s an official spelling) might actually be the girl from Very Little Nightmares, remember that Six didn’t start out with her raincoat. Edit: I added my thoughts about The Ferryman.
I think it is more of grey issue. The Ferryman may be good intentioned but is definitely part of the darkness of the nowhere. So his solution to the problem is to draw those poor victims into a realm of dark stories. Sure the children find a way to overcome their tragic past but it is at the expense of their innocence. So whether it really helps them is questionable. It seems less cathartic and more vengeful
Same re: Cici. Otto reacted to the mention of the yellow coat, which means it’s something Cici must have owned in the counties, but is something Six finds later, after encountering its first owner in littlest nightmares.
@@jacobfreeman5444 so he’s functionally a toxic coping mechanism: he sends kids to a place where they can obtain powers that will allow them to fight back against monsters but at the same time will eventually warp them into one of the monsters that try to harm the kids. This also means that all those beings that try to kill you in the game aren’t doing it because they’re evil and violent beings but rather they’re just trying to defend themselves from monsters that can hurt and kill them (aka the kids) in some twisted way.

Something that wasn’t really touched on was the fact that, in episode 6, while noone is hiding in the chest, she sees a yellow raincoat, and Otto perks up a bit when she says this. Also thinking that the woman she’s hiding from might be the pretender (or something related to her) and this is before very little nightmares. Bonus note: every place in little nightmares 3 is described in the podcast
Otto perking up might hint that yellow raincoat girl from very little nightmares might be cici, the timeline might not work out but that makes the most sense as if memory serves yellow raincoat girl came into the nowhere wearing the raincoat
I'm not so sure Six is Otto's sister, simply because the yellow raincoat didn't originally belong to Six - in Very Little Nightmares, the Girl with the Braid had the yellow raincoat first. Then this Child in White gets it. And while a lot of people suspect they are actually Six, I doubt think so as not only is their an (albeit unused) model of this child in the code of Little Nightmares 2 called Child05, whereas all Six models have her name in their title. This model is identical to the Child in White from VLN - white tank top, white shorts, straight black hair with straight bangs. It's distinct from Six's model. And this could explain why Six only gets the raincoat midway into the Pale City. Who's to say if the raincoat even belonged to the Girl with the Braid if it was in the chest? It seems like this little yellow raincoat has been passed around quite a bit. And nothing but misfortune follows.
The model you're talking is based on Six's concept art. It's most likely her as this kid never appeared in the comics as a standalone character to prove otherwise. The clothes are the same as in VLN and what the concept art of Six in LN2. Why it's not labeled "Six", I've no clue. That model however DOES have a texture called TEX_Six_Body_N. And I don't have the game itself but from a friend who had the sprites, it seems that the child in white's sprite sheet is labeled RealSix in VLN. With everything we have, it's most likely Six.
@@ISS600 I never did get to see any game files/models for VLN and I figured it may have been because it was a phone game. I wonder what happened then for her to have somehow lost the raincoat in the middle of the Pale City, only to end up in the Hunter's cabin? Unless she just never even picked up that raincoat at the end of VLN and it somehow still managed to find it's way back to her.
@invadernav3422 Yeah, me too. The friend who has them is good with coding and stuff ao I'm assuming he has a lot of tricks to see them. I too wonder what the heck is up with that raincoat as now we know that it's existed a lot as at least 4 characters have worn a yellow raincoat: Raincoat, Six, Lady Portrait Girl and Cici.
I really hope we get to learn more about why 6 betrayed mono in the feature little nightmares game. There are so many good theorys out there but i wanna know the cannon one Edit: guys I appreciate the time you put to explain what the fandom thinks but I know every single one of them. I just want to know the "canon" reason
She betrayed mono because in her eyes she was betrayed when the thin man took her and mono had his head down under the bed and when the thin man transformed her into a monster she lost her humanity that’s why there is a shadow six which is her humanity and Also when six grabbed mono she looked at his face for the first time and saw the thin man so she dropped him knowing he becomes something that hurts her
She betrayed Mono because when Thin Man took her, he separated her from her soul (Glitch Six a.k.a Dark Six who we see whenever Six feeds) which is why she feels the intense hunger pains because her soul was separated from her and now she has an intense emptiness that she never fill which leads to he devouring whatever she can. Six already a kind of dark (attacking one of the bullies in the school and casually breaking fingers off the mannequin hands in the hospital) but being separated from her soul removed any shed of light or goodness left within her making her no longer care about Mono and view the time it would take her to pull him up as not worth it as the bridge was collapsing.
@@Mosthated_NBT Six tried to prevent Mono from becoming the Thin Man by dropping him, with intent to kill him. However, by doing this, she only ensures that the future actually occurs. Mono grows up with all these doubts about his and Six's friendship, and eventually ends up with a burning hatred for her. When Mono eventually lets his future self out of the locked room, his future self has 2 goals in mind: 1) Kill Six for letting him fall and 2) Prevent the cycle from continuing by stopping his younger self.
I just want to say... I LOVED 'The Sounds of Nightmares', and to hear that episode six was the last while I was listening at work had me a little upset. I want more, so dang badly! It was delightfully dark, and I was expecting to have a couple more to look forward to. You did an incredible job writing for those episodes, and I really hope Bandai Namco does more like this, and taps you again!
Here's to hoping they keep up the dark tone in the third game, I absolutely LOVED how graphic the first two episode were and hope we get more of the creatures described. I just need the chain lady in the new game!
I was desperately hoping it would be more than 6 episodes, but it makes sense to only have Six episodes. Still.. it’s very bittersweet. I adored this so much. Probably my favourite thing to listen to lately.
I definitely don't think Otto is the doctor, there aren't really any threads connecting them besides their roll as people who are supposed to help. The doctor is a cosmetic surgeon, while the counselor is a psychiatric sort.
I don't know if Six is Otto's sister. Many people have theorized that Cici may be the protagonist from Very Little Nightmares, because while Six did have the raincoat, she wasn't the first one to have it. She had gotten it from the girl with the braided hair who was killed by the little girl antagonist at the end when they both fell in the water. If that was Cici, then Otto will be crushed when he finds out she's no longer alive... But if Cici _is_ Six... Then he may be in for a surprise when he heard about what happened with Mono and the Maw...
Just casually explained why the series is called “little nightmares”. Its children being transferred to the nowhere, thinking its their nightmares. Their little nightmares
I really like how the creators didn't do a cop-out world building where everything is actually just a nightmare. Instead, they chose to go for the approach that "the Nowhere" is actually a real place to some extent. I think that is much more interesting. I have yet to see how The Maw and The Signal Tower play into it all.
Nothing. But it would feel like a cop-out. This whole interesting world so seperated from our own and it's just a dream? Like, come on. That's boring.@@malekat8539
I think C.C. may be the Very Little Nightmares Protagonist. In Chapter 6 when Noone comes across the yellow raincoat, Otto reacts as if he recognizes it. Since the girl in very little nightmares was the original owner of the raincoat, and Otto seems to recognize it, that could point to her actually being C.C.
But the yellow raincoat is meant to be iconic to six and not some random girl. I definitely think it was hinting at something to do with six due to her raincoat being iconic to her.
@@stinkingbob784 It doesn't matter if the raincoat is iconic to Six, if she didn't have it when she lived in the counties then there's no reason for Otto to associate it with her.
@@Grim-c8n we technically don't know who the original owner of the raincoat is, we only know that rcg had it before six. You are jumping to conclusions in saying that Cece had it in the real world.
I'm so incredibly happy that they didn't make the dream theory true. That was my one worry with the podcast series, and it seems pretty clear that its not the case. I mean it has to do with dreams obviously, but its not exclusively a dream. :)
I kinda feel that sisi could be The girl in the yellow raincoat because Otto seemed interested when Noone said she saw a raincoat which could be hinting that his sister could of worn a raincoat a lot or something similar since he does say yellow when Noone mentioned it and the girl in the yellow raincoat is the only character besides Six that we've seen wear a raincoat
I am so glad this franchise is continuing. Not only that, they’ve already answered a lot of our questions before the game’s even released, in a god way. Everything makes so much more sense now.
6:40 The thing with Otto sounds like the guy from Fran Bow who was experimenting on children to get to another realm. Though unlike the antagonist from Fran Bow, Otto just wants to find his sister (though obviously going about it in a bad way, but that's madness for you).
I didn't realise Six's theme playing when Otto asked about the yellow raincoat, however I thought the yellow raincoat would link closer to the protagonist in Very Little Nightmares as she had the coat before Six, and would've took it to the Nowhere. Six did not get this coat till she reached The Pale City. Unless Six is the same person as The Yellow Raincoat girl.
I have a theory, that Noone is Six, since Six is the one who inherits the yellow raincoat after the yellow raincoat girl. It would also explain Six's theme playing
@@AvexVexa yea I've talked about this in the comments of episode 6, it would make sense, she looks at the yellow raincoat girl in the nest, she helps her out and then takes the coat, altho that'd mean the raincoat girl would be an adult by the time six even exists, unless time works differently ofc
I love Little Nightmares so much. I’m obsessed, the OST is amazing, the experience is awesome, everything is just outstanding. The story is insanely good as well, and I can’t wait for LN3!
I see all of this to be true. But we also have to remember that Six never had a yellow raincoat from the start story wise; Very Little Nightmares is a prequel to both LN 1 and 2, and Six appeared at that game but she only wore white clothing, the Girl in the Yellow Raincoat is the one who had the yellow raincoat until she dies at the end, so it's most likely that the Girl in the Yellow Raincoat is actually Cece, and not Six. But that is only my hypothesis.
This would make sense as to why Little Nightmares takes place in the world we play it in. Along with the fact that every child look like they have been through so much. It is a twisted safe place that the Ferryman takes them to be free of the 'monsters' that harmed them
Question for y'all while we scroll through the comments: If the Ferryman is taking children to help them (misguided help but still), why are there harmful monsters in The Nowhere? If he wants to help, why not take the children somewhere without monsters? A.) The monsters are a product of the children's fear so they manifest themselves in this world of nightmares, since the world literally feeds off of them. The Ferryman doesn't choose if the monsters exist or not, since they are just part of this realm, but he does take the willing children away from their home world and bodies B.) He's just the gatherer of children for this world as they come in, he doesn't choose who comes in. It's just his role in this world C.) He takes away the kids pain on purpose in order to lure them towards the Nowhere
A couple things I'd like to point out; 1. I also thought Six was Otto's sister due to his reaction to Ruth mentioning the yellow raincoat, but then I remembered that Six wasn't the first girl to wear that raincoat, but rather the Raincoat Girl, AKA Nine, from Very Little Nightmares. Both wore a yellow raincoat and both have a habit of abandoning their friends. Granted it's more likely they mean to imply six, because I'm assuming fewer people are familiar with VLN then they are with the main games, but the writers have thrown us curveballs before, so who knows? 2. I believe it is more likely spelled "Cece'" because it is a Latin word for "blind". I feel this is noteworthy because 90% of the children of Little Nightmares have their eyes obstructed by one thing or another (the two exceptions that come to mind being the lollipop kid and the hospital girl).
Sisi could also be the girl in the yellow raincoat from Very Little Nightmares. Since we see Six getting her signature raincoat later on in the games after the death of the girl in the yellow raincoat
2:30 This is the point I am currently on, and I was immediately reminded of a little nightmares AU/fancomic where the world literally WAS a nightmare, but all the kids involved were having it at the same time and were basically all presently in the world along with the other kids. So Six befriended and dropped Mono through the nightmare, but they found each other irl and were able to talk and communicate over it. The nightmare world was an obvious relflection of the real world; The easily breakable bullies and the teacher that sees all, the disturbed doctor that can seemingly get everywhere, the escape-obsessed townsfolk, and there were other aspects like Six's mom being the Lady, and they live on a boat and she works at a restaraunt with the chefs. It's not finished but it's a favorite of mine, and I have a feeling that's the direction this video is going.
I think it makes more sence that Cici is supposed to be the raincoat girl from VLN, not Six. Otto reacts to the yellow raincoat, but Six didn't have that until way later. The raincoat girl did. The Maw is said to appear at a set time every year. So I think that time in the Nowhere is linear, but flows differently.
There is definitely a connection between Otto and Six, as he reacted noticeably to the mention of a Yellow Raincoat. Although that seems a little odd as Six gets her coat from Mono
Okay let's hear it Edit: So after watching this I gotta agree that most of this does make sense. Having these normal looking kids being in a world of distortion and monsters can mean that they were brought there with or without their say. With the questionable intentions of the Ferry man like he must think he's helping them out because it seems he only takes kids with trauma or are in pain so leaving all the behind and bringing them into a world that basically is that in a whole but doesn't effect them if that makes sense 😅. And what you said about gaining powers or being pulled by the darkness. I feel like it would matter of how that person's attitude changes the way you get powers in the Dark world depending on being Brave and wanting to help or a desire for power to get what you want. I'm just shooting things out there but whoever read this thanks 😎
The world of Little Nightmares being a parallel dimension that abducts children from the real world is a theory I've had for a while! It's awesome to see that's true!
I'm just happy the franchise is continuing. I thought for sure it was done after the second game. The fact they're expanding even further makes this dark fantasy series all the more interesting. I'm also glad my theory that the monsters in the game being former adults is kinda confirmed. With them being much darker and sinister representations of adulthood, it actually makes things better.
The ferryman... boats always symbolised passages between worlds: life to death, awaken to dream,... But I have a question: why Sissi joined the Nowhere in the first place and what's the link with the parasite and the cure? "Nowhere" I always loved that word x): you can cut it as "No where" , in "no place" but if you cut it as "Now-here"... I don't know how it works in English but in my native tongue (French) "Ici et maintenant" it is an expression meaning the present moment, the present action...
@@erossantarossa4973 It's from the Greeks mythos first but you're right. But there are a lot of other "passers" in folklors and religions: Davy Jones (from the true legend), the Ankou (in Britanny) or even if we don't want to attribute everything to the Charon of the Greeks, Rê (Ra) in Egypt... who escorts the souls of the deads in his boat, through the sky until the resurection of the soul...
@@erossantarossa4973 He is one of the great archetypes of humanity for the sea, the ocean...this is a place of mystery, of deepness, of death and dream too. In cultures not that much linked to the sea (or water in general) he is replaced by the charriot man, or, in the most "modern" times, by the train enginner for exemple.
NGL… I like the idea of the world of little nightmares being the real world being warped and changed, it has that cosmic horror feel where the world is gone and corrupted. Which is what I thought the story of little nightmares was before, a world that used to be normal but became corrupted and warped by things like the tower. Im not sure if I like little nightmares having the games be an alternate dimensions visited in dreams.
Another theory: in the sixth episode Noone talks about a very elegant lady taking care of toys, is this The Lady? Is she, like The Ferryman, a type of caretaker? Noone says that she would be "stitched back up, made whole" again if The Lady picks her up. Soon after, she meets The Ferryman where she's in a body that doesn't physically hurt and none of her tormentors are there. Based on this, I think they may work together, or have similar goals or powers
Maybe Hospital TVs and experiments on children with them in Little Nightmares 2 Concept Art could also be representation of Otto's experiments on children to make them enter the Nightmare realm. I also have a little theory about Otto: What if he's the guy that talks about nightmares in Little Nightmares 2 Trailer video? edit: The Sound of Nightmares is really amazing addition to Little Nightmares universe, but it still leaves a lot of unanswered questions like what is the eye monster and signal tower actually, or time loop with Mono and Six in general.
@@Lumberjack_king probably. But I wonder why they would make series with almost the same world of nightmares with the same monsters and perfectly explain it.
I think that Otto's sister might be the raincoat girl from the mobile game. Why do I think this? No clue haha, but I remember in one of the chapters they brought up a yellow raincoat and we know from LN2 that that yellow raincoat did not belong to six, it belonged to raincoat girl. Then again, raincoat girl may have gotten it from someone else, however we don't know that.
My theory is that six has no connection with Otto. Six is not Otto’s sister. Noone saw the yellow raincoat and I think that raincoat was later worn by the girl in Very Little Nightmares and after she drowned, six wore it. This considering if the new ppl in charge of little nightmares take very little nightmares as part of the plot ofc
This is just crazy to hear man. So basically the fairy man thinks he's helping children by taking them from the real world into the nowhere to save them. And by doing so the nowhere is corrupting them turning them into monsters that six and mono have had to fight against. That's pretty incredible to hear man.
It made sense now why the children appeared to be smaller than the residents of the little nightmare world, almost like a doll, and why they clearly don't seem to belong in that world. They truly don't and if strong trauma is the reason they got transported into the Nowhere, then this truly made the story of Little Nightmare more sadder. I wonder what sort of trauma that Six faced that got her into the Nowhere 🤔
Also, I feel that it is important to point out that Six is not the original owner of the yellow rain coat, so Otto's sister Sisi is most likely the girl we play as in Very little nightmares, not Six.
You missed one thing. Cici isn’t six, she’s the girl in the rain coat, from very little nightmares. Six didn’t get the coat till after she was in the nowhere, and assuming it’s the same coat, she finds it in the pale city long after Cici dies falling off a cliff. In very little nightmares, six is seen dressed as she is in the beginning of little nightmares 2, in a white nightgown. The player controls a girl in a yellow rain coat until she dies at the end and the rain coat is seen drifting in the water.
i discovered your channel thanks to little nightmares and Im glad youre the one that makes me remember that it exists and who tells me that the 3rd game is coming out. I really thank you horrorbro :]
Also, when Noone was describing the yellow raincoat, Otto interjected YELLOW?! in the background, as though one his sister used to wear. I think she is Sisi, and I believe Otto is Mono. The games show that one can exist in the timeline as two separate beings...Mono actually fighting the Thin Man. The stories kept referring to a "Purple Suit" and Otto's machine made the static-y noise that the TVs made when Mono tuned them with his power. I think Six and Mono had forgotten their previous life in The Counties, but somewhere along the way in their adventure, likely right after their own boss battle, Six with her own power was able to realize Otto was Mono, and that as an adult he was luring children into the Nowhere, and when the chance was permitted to her, she dropped him into that pit. Just a theory....
But remember, Otto was denied access because he was too old. Mono is a child, and Otto was told if he abused more kids then he would be able to enter as an ADULT, so that theory doesn't make much sense, maybe Ethan is mono though? I don't really know Edit: i made this too damn long ago. Idk what i'm yapping about, ignore the yap session☠
I absolutely love Little Nightmares. It's so cool, I like the perspective of you playing as a little kid in a scary almost bedtime nightmare world. Absolutely love little nightmares so much.
7:50 I don't think Mono is crossing into the nowhere, since he's neither waking up at the beginning of the game, nor is there a gray mist. I think since he is the Thin Man, he is a part of the nowhere to begin with.
I love the idea that the monsters we run from in little nightmares are adults who were cruel to children in the working world. Take the teacher in little nightmares 2 for example she was probably a really strict teacher in the counties and would punish the kids in her care severely also her ability to stretch her neck might be because she would turn her head towards the troublemaker in her class. And would try and seek them out hence why in the game she is seen looking for mono.
it may be more likely that the girl otto referred too as his sister was not six, but rather the girl in the yellow raincoat, since we now know six only aquired the raincoat after the girl in the raincoat died in very little nightmares, i believe they also mentioned something about red ribbons? which would further the idea that it is indeed the girl in the yellow raincoat.
So amazing Mike I remember watching your little nightmares two videos all the way back in 2021 because I had no idea what was going on and now we’re all the way in 2023 and I’m all grown up I was 12 when LN2 came out and now I’m 15 it’s crazy how time flys by that quick little nightmares are always hold a special place in my heart can’t wait for the LN3 theory’s :)
What I found the most interesting in The sound of nightmares was when Otto realized that Noone left him on her own will, and he had a thought that maybe Sisi, his older sister left him intentionally too. After that he said something along the lines of "No, that can't be, Sisi leaving me? She would never". And from the earlier yellow raincoat detail that was in the 6th episode, I too think that Sisi is Six. This is complete speculation, but Sisi/Six leaving Otto who loved her and can't believe she did that? Idk about you guys but that sounds hella familiar to me, think of it what you will...
@@freeze_zane0691 If you're talking about the audio series, then I didn't really think about the details like where she found the raincoat, only Ottos reaction to that find. If you're talking about LN2 however, SuperHorrorBro said it in one of the videos, I think it was the full timeline one. If you didn't know, the raincoat didn't even belong to Six from the start.
@@kBandik Thats literally what I said: RCG was the original wearer of the raincoat, so the theory of Sisi being Six is pretty weak if people assume that the raincoat belonged to Sisi.
@@freeze_zane0691 Didn't know who RCG is. The raincoat isn't the only clue tho. There's the music that was mentioned in the video. Also as we know, LN loves to make names that are relevant for lore. It's an obvious one, but just compare the names. Either way I mentioned that this is mostly speculation in the original comment
@@kBandik Music, music, music, yes I heard. But do you know how many times the podcast constantly reuses background ambiences from the games to fit the mood? Plus we even hear Noone singing the tune in Chapter 3 and unlike her rant with Otto in Ch5, it wasn’t reused audio. Honestly, if any of those characters are Six, it’d be Noone (although I highly doubt it). Although believe me, if they so happen to reveal that the use of LN2’s theme was a completely in-depth thought choice, I wouldn’t be dumbfounded. But in my eyes, that’s a little unlikely due to all the reused ambiences that didn’t really mean anything. I could bring a lot of examples, but I believe you understand where I’m coming from :) Also, the name thingy, yes, IS something that I’m taking in huge consideration, which is why I’m still debating with myself with « is Sisi Six. »
A possible reason why the children are able to use certain powers after a while may be linked to the fact that children adept to foreign Environments also it's possible that their powers are interlinked with their traumas. If the Adults of the County have a way to cross as well(via. Death or disappearing) that would explain the behaviour and looks of the Monsters. Example: the Hunter..... hides it's face(anti social), lived alone, hunts but has no wild game(so he hunts humans instead), lost his family or misses them(made replacements), lost a child(keeps ones he finds save), had a hobby to indulge in and hunts down and peppers anyone who startles or gets close to him(maby his trauma)...........
So the ferryman's just trying to create a safeplace for these traumatized children, however, the adults of the counties have torn this haven apart and deranged into monsters.
This really blowed my mind..I have to hear the sounds of little nightmares....But, based on your theory..I think Cici is the Girl In The Yellow Raincoat fromm Very Little Nightmares..Whereas, Noone could be Six..A lot of things you mentioned seemed to point out that Noone is Six..Noone has Water Sickness..So, I think this Water Sickness is what causing Six to have Hunger issues which she feels twisting her internal organs which I got to know from LN wiki..Noone also experienced bullies at school which she similarly faced in Little Nightmares 2..and Noone is also a timid girl and a loner..Which proves why Six seems to end up alone in every LN games so far..This is just my Theory😅
Also to keep in mind The doctor had a patient he somewhat cares about the one with the heart monitor What if this was a representation of Otto's sister and confirms that the doctor is Otto and considering he exprimented and tormented so many in little nightmares 2 as well
3:14 I feel sorry for her! Especially because after dealing with bullies and the life threatening water parasite! And now she's doing headaches and terrible nightmares!(it's very rude to call names like nobody! Ruth is somebody not a nobody! What a jerk those bullies are! I have to admit I feel like I'm staring to see demons rather than a human being! That's how I see bullies they are demons in this world to me!)4:22 wait she disappeared and later reappeared on the bed she sleeps!?(I know we do dream every night we just either don't remember them and wake up just fine! Or you experienced a dream or a nightmare! But I'm sure none of those three options doesn't make the person disappear in a later return to where they were sleeping! I mean I know this is a little nightmare logic I'm talking about!)11:00 talking about nightmares reminded me of my nightmare experience!(I remembered when I was a little girl i saw two images! One is a shadow show of a plane crashing with its explosions and a lot of smoke and the other the aftermath of the plane completely destroyed I was in the sky when I was looking at a forest and it felt so real and seeing a destroyed plane in the forest! But that was a long time ago! 11:25 I see that as a justifiable act! As well that's his punishment for tormenting the poor and innocent children! That's the price for not listening to the ferryman's warning! Abusers like that jerk deserve the worst punishment possible like a death sentence! Right?)
Is noone the girl on the TV in the janitors room? It looks like some kind of advert for something, the miracle cure? Also, at 11:06, applying the idea of abusers of children in the real world being reflected by monsters in the nowhere to the lady and the thin man, whom six and mono are doomed to become, perhaps that is a metaphor for generational trauma? Maybe the underlying emotional theme of the game 🤷♂️
As someone who's addicted to the world of little nightmares and we're getting a 3rd little nightmares game it's becoming more popular like I hoped it would be! What started off as 1 little confusing game branched off into fan made games and 4 games in total (counting the mobile game) and mobile comic! And the podcast!? LADIES AND GENTLEMEN we are seeing one helluva turning chapter and this is probably only the beginning :)
I just dont understand how the nowhere is a place to help children gain power against abusive adults when the only child thats gotten a somewhat good ending there is six. She seems much like the exception and not the rule tbh.
I must say that I love the world building that Little Nightmares has. But I have to wonder, what causes some of the children to accept the Ferryman's offer? I mean, we can't assume Otto was the cause of all of them. Like, I'm curious as to why Mono and Seven/RK accept it. I have so many questions, but looking forward to how the series continues.
I think Sisi is the raincoat girl from very little nightmares not six, as the raincoat girl was the first to wear that infamouse coat, I don't know if the brain tumour on the scan in the hospital is linked to noone at all? Or just a coincidence it could be that the childrens horrors manifest into the nowhere in some shape and form which is why the scans could be shown in the hospital, just a little mini head canon I have going on
So... it's kind of like a realm of perception based on the balance between abusive adults and abused children? The adults have the power first but they're unchanging and feed on the children, but as the children survive they lose their fear and eventually grow into even worse monsters. But as we saw with The Thin Man and Six's horrific transformation in Little Nightmares 2 the abused can very easily become the abuser.
A cycle of pain and agony for all time.
Man I love this look on it! Somehow this helped me understand the theory
Bingo your 100% right
Man it feels nice that everything is starting to come together. if bandai just left the franchise after LN2 we won't have the sounds of nightmares and LN3 and be stuck with so many possibilities for theories on its world with quite the lack of idea & answers of the world of little nightmares & etc. I'm glad Dave mervlk (the writer for the lore of LN & it's world) gave the lore to bandai in case they wanted to continue the franchise. If u want the source for where it was revealed that they gave the lore to bandai it was in a interview on RUclips with the writer/author iirc.
Hurt people hurting people! And so the cycle continues.
Six gets her hands warm when the doctor is burning to death (in LN2), what if she knew that he is Otto?
I believe SiSi (CeCe?) could be the Girl in the yellow raincoat (from VLN) the way Otto reacted to the raincoat suggests that A YELLOW raincoat is familiar to him in some way
I thought the same thing. It's an exciting theory.
Also the red ribbon that noon find!
I haven’t listened to the podcast but I also thought it might be interesting that if noone is six then maybe shadow six is her parasite coming out in the nowhere? If it sounds silly like I said I have pretty much zero context haha.
I agree
With this
I feel the need to point out that yellow clothes in horror products are used to signal a victim, because yellow is a color that both naturally draws the eyes, and displays blood really well. Yellow raincoats on victim children has been a popular trope for a long time, as well as a popular real life product, and there is nothing to suggest that there has only ever been one yellow raincoat in LN.
The world of Little Nightmares is the kind of world that even with answers it still remains so unknowable
Like Fnaf
yeah I love how the monsters don't do jump scares just then being in the same room is scary enough especially in LN1
@@JcW1zNot even close
@@NiqRipple what do you mean not even close, even with all the lore we can't even nail the timeline of Fnaf down, that fits how the original comment describes the little Nightmares series.
@@JcW1z the story of LN is told through the environment whereas FNaF’s is told through Easter eggs and books.

It puzzles me how the Ferryman can think bringing kids to the Nowhere is protecting them. Maybe it was a dreamlike paradise once until the adults started forcing their way inside and turning into monsters?
Well, they do gain more power and ends up being "safer" for them than the real world, Mono was already powerfull enough to defend against anyone, the fact that six betrayed him and got him trapped is another story. And six herself just came from pray to predator at the end of her journey, feeding one everyone he came across
It is far from an ideal solution, but maybe that's just has to do with the reasoning of the ferryman, he sends the child to a place where they can finally get the advantage over adults and invert the roles, but he forgets the fact that there's still a high chance they might not survive
@@Axelpvz2030Six is a girl js also I think the tower took control of her and made her drop Mono. It makes zero sense to reach out for someone then go "bye." She intended to catch him and then continue on like throughout the game but because the tower wanted Mono specifically for his powers to send out the transmission.
I do like that theory. Goes to show that messed up adults ruin the lives of children in both the waking and dreaming worlds
@@teammystic4life38Well, in Comics says Six suffered some "amnesia" before the events of LN (i know they are not canon, but still can be used), so probably the Tower turning her into a Resident made her lose all her memories and forgot Mono, so when she turned back, she feels Mono was a strange when he break her box, so she left him.
@@teammystic4life38i remember seeing a theory that says Six recognize that Mono's face looks like the tall guy that was chasing her. That's why she let him go
I love Otto as a villain.
A man so desperate to find his lost sister, that he doesn't realize what may have got her there in the first place.
The Nowhere lures kids who feel sad or like no one cares for them. As seen with how Otto puts Dreams first, Noone second.
Otto is causing kids to go to the Nowhere by trying to find it.
Which his terrible determination may have been what caused Cece to accept the Ferrymans offer.
Otto is what makes a good villain, terrible person, understandable goals, but puts goals over what's right.
Little Nightmares writers are so good!
Is that what drove otto to get 8 mechanical arms
So what did Otto do to drive cici away
@@Lumberjack_king Judging by his personality, he could've annoyed her or put things before her. Which could've have lead to the Ferryman taking her, and Otto regretting his actions when it was too late.
@@aydinmakesthings true
Maybe she had a disease, and he was too busy trying to figure it out then be their for her
It was actually really fun lore theorizing with everyone else in the comments of the podcasts.
Very fun even the debate lol
Yup.
sammeee
I wouldn't be suprised if cece is maybe six, or is even noone is six
And maybe Ethan is 'seven' the dlc boy
@@thesupernaturalhouseyeah I think that would make sense
I think that The Ferryman is still a villain here, using manipulation tactics to trap Noone in The Nowhere, rather than actually intending to help her. I also believe that Cici/Sisi/Cece (not sure if there’s an official spelling) might actually be the girl from Very Little Nightmares, remember that Six didn’t start out with her raincoat.
Edit: I added my thoughts about The Ferryman.
I was thinking the same about cici
I think it is more of grey issue. The Ferryman may be good intentioned but is definitely part of the darkness of the nowhere. So his solution to the problem is to draw those poor victims into a realm of dark stories. Sure the children find a way to overcome their tragic past but it is at the expense of their innocence. So whether it really helps them is questionable. It seems less cathartic and more vengeful
Good Intensions with Bad process
@@jacobfreeman5444
Same re: Cici. Otto reacted to the mention of the yellow coat, which means it’s something Cici must have owned in the counties, but is something Six finds later, after encountering its first owner in littlest nightmares.
@@jacobfreeman5444 so he’s functionally a toxic coping mechanism: he sends kids to a place where they can obtain powers that will allow them to fight back against monsters but at the same time will eventually warp them into one of the monsters that try to harm the kids. This also means that all those beings that try to kill you in the game aren’t doing it because they’re evil and violent beings but rather they’re just trying to defend themselves from monsters that can hurt and kill them (aka the kids) in some twisted way.

Something that wasn’t really touched on was the fact that, in episode 6, while noone is hiding in the chest, she sees a yellow raincoat, and Otto perks up a bit when she says this. Also thinking that the woman she’s hiding from might be the pretender (or something related to her) and this is before very little nightmares. Bonus note: every place in little nightmares 3 is described in the podcast
a trench coat is also mention in the case, which is interesting because that's what Mono wears
Otto perking up might hint that yellow raincoat girl from very little nightmares might be cici, the timeline might not work out but that makes the most sense as if memory serves yellow raincoat girl came into the nowhere wearing the raincoat
I'm not so sure Six is Otto's sister, simply because the yellow raincoat didn't originally belong to Six - in Very Little Nightmares, the Girl with the Braid had the yellow raincoat first. Then this Child in White gets it.
And while a lot of people suspect they are actually Six, I doubt think so as not only is their an (albeit unused) model of this child in the code of Little Nightmares 2 called Child05, whereas all Six models have her name in their title. This model is identical to the Child in White from VLN - white tank top, white shorts, straight black hair with straight bangs. It's distinct from Six's model. And this could explain why Six only gets the raincoat midway into the Pale City.
Who's to say if the raincoat even belonged to the Girl with the Braid if it was in the chest?
It seems like this little yellow raincoat has been passed around quite a bit. And nothing but misfortune follows.
The model you're talking is based on Six's concept art. It's most likely her as this kid never appeared in the comics as a standalone character to prove otherwise. The clothes are the same as in VLN and what the concept art of Six in LN2. Why it's not labeled "Six", I've no clue. That model however DOES have a texture called TEX_Six_Body_N.
And I don't have the game itself but from a friend who had the sprites, it seems that the child in white's sprite sheet is labeled RealSix in VLN.
With everything we have, it's most likely Six.
There's also another girl with the yellow raincoat with straight, long black hair. I'm not sure that's who you were referring to.
@@ISS600 I never did get to see any game files/models for VLN and I figured it may have been because it was a phone game. I wonder what happened then for her to have somehow lost the raincoat in the middle of the Pale City, only to end up in the Hunter's cabin? Unless she just never even picked up that raincoat at the end of VLN and it somehow still managed to find it's way back to her.
I'm pretty sure child 05 is supposed to be Six from VLN as she looks incredibly similar to it at least
@invadernav3422 Yeah, me too. The friend who has them is good with coding and stuff ao I'm assuming he has a lot of tricks to see them. I too wonder what the heck is up with that raincoat as now we know that it's existed a lot as at least 4 characters have worn a yellow raincoat: Raincoat, Six, Lady Portrait Girl and Cici.
I really hope we get to learn more about why 6 betrayed mono in the feature little nightmares game. There are so many good theorys out there but i wanna know the cannon one
Edit: guys I appreciate the time you put to explain what the fandom thinks but I know every single one of them. I just want to know the "canon" reason
She betrayed mono because in her eyes she was betrayed when the thin man took her and mono had his head down under the bed and when the thin man transformed her into a monster she lost her humanity that’s why there is a shadow six which is her humanity and Also when six grabbed mono she looked at his face for the first time and saw the thin man so she dropped him knowing he becomes something that hurts her
@@Mosthated_NBT
This only a game theory if i am not wrong so i hope mono gets his revenge or better yet forgive six
She betrayed Mono because when Thin Man took her, he separated her from her soul (Glitch Six a.k.a Dark Six who we see whenever Six feeds) which is why she feels the intense hunger pains because her soul was separated from her and now she has an intense emptiness that she never fill which leads to he devouring whatever she can. Six already a kind of dark (attacking one of the bullies in the school and casually breaking fingers off the mannequin hands in the hospital) but being separated from her soul removed any shed of light or goodness left within her making her no longer care about Mono and view the time it would take her to pull him up as not worth it as the bridge was collapsing.
@@Mosthated_NBT Six tried to prevent Mono from becoming the Thin Man by dropping him, with intent to kill him. However, by doing this, she only ensures that the future actually occurs. Mono grows up with all these doubts about his and Six's friendship, and eventually ends up with a burning hatred for her. When Mono eventually lets his future self out of the locked room, his future self has 2 goals in mind: 1) Kill Six for letting him fall and 2) Prevent the cycle from continuing by stopping his younger self.
@@Libyan_anti_genocideledon't you get the game? The game is s whole loop
I just want to say... I LOVED 'The Sounds of Nightmares', and to hear that episode six was the last while I was listening at work had me a little upset. I want more, so dang badly! It was delightfully dark, and I was expecting to have a couple more to look forward to. You did an incredible job writing for those episodes, and I really hope Bandai Namco does more like this, and taps you again!
Here's to hoping they keep up the dark tone in the third game, I absolutely LOVED how graphic the first two episode were and hope we get more of the creatures described. I just need the chain lady in the new game!
I was desperately hoping it would be more than 6 episodes, but it makes sense to only have Six episodes. Still.. it’s very bittersweet. I adored this so much. Probably my favourite thing to listen to lately.
Hey, man. Thank you for suggesting the “the sound of nightmares” series. It's really great (and congratulations on helping in an episode) ❤
I was not expecting this video. I didn't think we'd have enough information for a while
The podcast gives off some Lovecraftian vibes and I think it works quite well with the world of Little Nightmares.
I definitely don't think Otto is the doctor, there aren't really any threads connecting them besides their roll as people who are supposed to help. The doctor is a cosmetic surgeon, while the counselor is a psychiatric sort.
I don't know if Six is Otto's sister. Many people have theorized that Cici may be the protagonist from Very Little Nightmares, because while Six did have the raincoat, she wasn't the first one to have it.
She had gotten it from the girl with the braided hair who was killed by the little girl antagonist at the end when they both fell in the water.
If that was Cici, then Otto will be crushed when he finds out she's no longer alive... But if Cici _is_ Six... Then he may be in for a surprise when he heard about what happened with Mono and the Maw...
Just casually explained why the series is called “little nightmares”. Its children being transferred to the nowhere, thinking its their nightmares. Their little nightmares
I had no idea this was a thing but it’s very nice to finally have some semblance of actual plot for this world
I really like how the creators didn't do a cop-out world building where everything is actually just a nightmare. Instead, they chose to go for the approach that "the Nowhere" is actually a real place to some extent. I think that is much more interesting. I have yet to see how The Maw and The Signal Tower play into it all.
I think in the episode 6 it really feels like the door to The Nowhere is described kinda like The Signal Tower

@@malekat8539 Nothing, I suppose. But still, a REAL place that you can go to is considerably more interesting than the "just in your head" trope.
I think C.C. may be the Very Little Nightmares Protagonist. In Chapter 6 when Noone comes across the yellow raincoat, Otto reacts as if he recognizes it. Since the girl in very little nightmares was the original owner of the raincoat, and Otto seems to recognize it, that could point to her actually being C.C.
But the yellow raincoat is meant to be iconic to six and not some random girl. I definitely think it was hinting at something to do with six due to her raincoat being iconic to her.
@@stinkingbob784nah
@@stinkingbob784 It doesn't matter if the raincoat is iconic to Six, if she didn't have it when she lived in the counties then there's no reason for Otto to associate it with her.

@@shadowx8145 It's lame when everything is all just a dream.

@@ltb1345but why's that so...
I kinda feel that sisi could be The girl in the yellow raincoat because Otto seemed interested when Noone said she saw a raincoat which could be hinting that his sister could of worn a raincoat a lot or something similar since he does say yellow when Noone mentioned it and the girl in the yellow raincoat is the only character besides Six that we've seen wear a raincoat
It could be true but I really hate that idea
I am so glad this franchise is continuing. Not only that, they’ve already answered a lot of our questions before the game’s even released, in a god way. Everything makes so much more sense now.
6:40 The thing with Otto sounds like the guy from Fran Bow who was experimenting on children to get to another realm. Though unlike the antagonist from Fran Bow, Otto just wants to find his sister (though obviously going about it in a bad way, but that's madness for you).
I didn't realise Six's theme playing when Otto asked about the yellow raincoat, however I thought the yellow raincoat would link closer to the protagonist in Very Little Nightmares as she had the coat before Six, and would've took it to the Nowhere. Six did not get this coat till she reached The Pale City. Unless Six is the same person as The Yellow Raincoat girl.
I like the theory tho, keep making great context
I have a theory, that Noone is Six, since Six is the one who inherits the yellow raincoat after the yellow raincoat girl. It would also explain Six's theme playing
@@AvexVexa yea I've talked about this in the comments of episode 6, it would make sense, she looks at the yellow raincoat girl in the nest, she helps her out and then takes the coat, altho that'd mean the raincoat girl would be an adult by the time six even exists, unless time works differently ofc
@martalisewska6347 I don't think so since six is Asian. Noone appears to be European
@@syloduisix is obv asian while Noone is british
The Sounds of Nightmares is fantastic. Great addition to the lore of the series.
Little nightmares is how I discovered you so it makes me happy that you’re covering this 2 years later :)
I love Little Nightmares so much. I’m obsessed, the OST is amazing, the experience is awesome, everything is just outstanding. The story is insanely good as well, and I can’t wait for LN3!
Man, you did a great job on the epsodes of the podcasts, they're amazing
I see all of this to be true. But we also have to remember that Six never had a yellow raincoat from the start story wise; Very Little Nightmares is a prequel to both LN 1 and 2, and Six appeared at that game but she only wore white clothing, the Girl in the Yellow Raincoat is the one who had the yellow raincoat until she dies at the end, so it's most likely that the Girl in the Yellow Raincoat is actually Cece, and not Six. But that is only my hypothesis.
This would make sense as to why Little Nightmares takes place in the world we play it in. Along with the fact that every child look like they have been through so much. It is a twisted safe place that the Ferryman takes them to be free of the 'monsters' that harmed them
Question for y'all while we scroll through the comments: If the Ferryman is taking children to help them (misguided help but still), why are there harmful monsters in The Nowhere? If he wants to help, why not take the children somewhere without monsters?
A.) The monsters are a product of the children's fear so they manifest themselves in this world of nightmares, since the world literally feeds off of them. The Ferryman doesn't choose if the monsters exist or not, since they are just part of this realm, but he does take the willing children away from their home world and bodies
B.) He's just the gatherer of children for this world as they come in, he doesn't choose who comes in. It's just his role in this world
C.) He takes away the kids pain on purpose in order to lure them towards the Nowhere
I’m so happy to see little nightmares on the channel! I’ve been keeping up with the sound of nightmares and I can’t wait for the third game!
A couple things I'd like to point out;
1. I also thought Six was Otto's sister due to his reaction to Ruth mentioning the yellow raincoat, but then I remembered that Six wasn't the first girl to wear that raincoat, but rather the Raincoat Girl, AKA Nine, from Very Little Nightmares. Both wore a yellow raincoat and both have a habit of abandoning their friends. Granted it's more likely they mean to imply six, because I'm assuming fewer people are familiar with VLN then they are with the main games, but the writers have thrown us curveballs before, so who knows?
2. I believe it is more likely spelled "Cece'" because it is a Latin word for "blind". I feel this is noteworthy because 90% of the children of Little Nightmares have their eyes obstructed by one thing or another (the two exceptions that come to mind being the lollipop kid and the hospital girl).
Oh and when Ruth/noone was describing the perfect girl/maniquin my brain just thought of the pretender or maybe its just me
@@Basil6amer no, I thought that too!
@@kingofnerds1841 Cool good to know I'm not the only one 👍
Sisi could also be the girl in the yellow raincoat from Very Little Nightmares. Since we see Six getting her signature raincoat later on in the games after the death of the girl in the yellow raincoat
2:30 This is the point I am currently on, and I was immediately reminded of a little nightmares AU/fancomic where the world literally WAS a nightmare, but all the kids involved were having it at the same time and were basically all presently in the world along with the other kids. So Six befriended and dropped Mono through the nightmare, but they found each other irl and were able to talk and communicate over it. The nightmare world was an obvious relflection of the real world; The easily breakable bullies and the teacher that sees all, the disturbed doctor that can seemingly get everywhere, the escape-obsessed townsfolk, and there were other aspects like Six's mom being the Lady, and they live on a boat and she works at a restaraunt with the chefs. It's not finished but it's a favorite of mine, and I have a feeling that's the direction this video is going.
I think it makes more sence that Cici is supposed to be the raincoat girl from VLN, not Six. Otto reacts to the yellow raincoat, but Six didn't have that until way later. The raincoat girl did.
The Maw is said to appear at a set time every year. So I think that time in the Nowhere is linear, but flows differently.
THANK YOU FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT. Otto's sister could be the girl from VLN
This was useful to get everything I missee summarized and explained, love how the Little Nightmares universe now have a clear explanation
I'm still holding out hope that mono will be saved.
There is definitely a connection between Otto and Six, as he reacted noticeably to the mention of a Yellow Raincoat. Although that seems a little odd as Six gets her coat from Mono
Okay let's hear it
Edit: So after watching this I gotta agree that most of this does make sense. Having these normal looking kids being in a world of distortion and monsters can mean that they were brought there with or without their say. With the questionable intentions of the Ferry man like he must think he's helping them out because it seems he only takes kids with trauma or are in pain so leaving all the behind and bringing them into a world that basically is that in a whole but doesn't effect them if that makes sense 😅. And what you said about gaining powers or being pulled by the darkness. I feel like it would matter of how that person's attitude changes the way you get powers in the Dark world depending on being Brave and wanting to help or a desire for power to get what you want.
I'm just shooting things out there but whoever read this thanks 😎
The world of Little Nightmares being a parallel dimension that abducts children from the real world is a theory I've had for a while! It's awesome to see that's true!
I'm just happy the franchise is continuing. I thought for sure it was done after the second game. The fact they're expanding even further makes this dark fantasy series all the more interesting. I'm also glad my theory that the monsters in the game being former adults is kinda confirmed. With them being much darker and sinister representations of adulthood, it actually makes things better.
The ferryman... boats always symbolised passages between worlds: life to death, awaken to dream,... But I have a question: why Sissi joined the Nowhere in the first place and what's the link with the parasite and the cure? "Nowhere" I always loved that word x): you can cut it as "No where" , in "no place" but if you cut it as "Now-here"... I don't know how it works in English but in my native tongue (French) "Ici et maintenant" it is an expression meaning the present moment, the present action...
I think one thing Ferryman is similar to charon( sorry for the grammar) in the divine comedy
@@erossantarossa4973 It's from the Greeks mythos first but you're right. But there are a lot of other "passers" in folklors and religions: Davy Jones (from the true legend), the Ankou (in Britanny) or even if we don't want to attribute everything to the Charon of the Greeks, Rê (Ra) in Egypt... who escorts the souls of the deads in his boat, through the sky until the resurection of the soul...
In charpter 5 Otto metion the Ferryman is in a lot of cultures and religion in the earth
@@erossantarossa4973 He is one of the great archetypes of humanity for the sea, the ocean...this is a place of mystery, of deepness, of death and dream too. In cultures not that much linked to the sea (or water in general) he is replaced by the charriot man, or, in the most "modern" times, by the train enginner for exemple.
NGL… I like the idea of the world of little nightmares being the real world being warped and changed, it has that cosmic horror feel where the world is gone and corrupted. Which is what I thought the story of little nightmares was before, a world that used to be normal but became corrupted and warped by things like the tower. Im not sure if I like little nightmares having the games be an alternate dimensions visited in dreams.
same
But wouldn’t the titles make more sense now that we know the characters have to cross over to an alternate reality via dreaming?
Agreed
The signal tower to me sounds like a SCP experiment gone wrong
Personally, I think they should have just left the characters and the world up to the viewers interpretation.
I had my doubts about Little Nightmares lore when I first started getting into it but its only a very impressive story
Another theory: in the sixth episode Noone talks about a very elegant lady taking care of toys, is this The Lady? Is she, like The Ferryman, a type of caretaker?
Noone says that she would be "stitched back up, made whole" again if The Lady picks her up. Soon after, she meets The Ferryman where she's in a body that doesn't physically hurt and none of her tormentors are there. Based on this, I think they may work together, or have similar goals or powers
I dont think I've ever been so invested in a game's lore in my life.
Maybe Hospital TVs and experiments on children with them in Little Nightmares 2 Concept Art could also be representation of Otto's experiments on children to make them enter the Nightmare realm.
I also have a little theory about Otto: What if he's the guy that talks about nightmares in Little Nightmares 2 Trailer video?
edit: The Sound of Nightmares is really amazing addition to Little Nightmares universe, but it still leaves a lot of unanswered questions like what is the eye monster and signal tower actually, or time loop with Mono and Six in general.
Yeah I just watched that video but they probably aren’t connected
@@Lumberjack_king probably. But I wonder why they would make series with almost the same world of nightmares with the same monsters and perfectly explain it.
@@markofabecic6824 yeah idk
What a finale, let's hope we will see Otto in a future game or podcast.
I think that Otto's sister might be the raincoat girl from the mobile game. Why do I think this? No clue haha, but I remember in one of the chapters they brought up a yellow raincoat and we know from LN2 that that yellow raincoat did not belong to six, it belonged to raincoat girl. Then again, raincoat girl may have gotten it from someone else, however we don't know that.
My theory is that six has no connection with Otto. Six is not Otto’s sister. Noone saw the yellow raincoat and I think that raincoat was later worn by the girl in Very Little Nightmares and after she drowned, six wore it. This considering if the new ppl in charge of little nightmares take very little nightmares as part of the plot ofc
The Sound of Nightmares has really helped fill in a lot of gaps

12:52 Outro
This is just crazy to hear man. So basically the fairy man thinks he's helping children by taking them from the real world into the nowhere to save them. And by doing so the nowhere is corrupting them turning them into monsters that six and mono have had to fight against. That's pretty incredible to hear man.
Push for a Animated series everyone!!! This is wayyy too good
It made sense now why the children appeared to be smaller than the residents of the little nightmare world, almost like a doll, and why they clearly don't seem to belong in that world. They truly don't and if strong trauma is the reason they got transported into the Nowhere, then this truly made the story of Little Nightmare more sadder.
I wonder what sort of trauma that Six faced that got her into the Nowhere 🤔
SuperHorrorBro, This is amazing! I subscribed right away!
Also, I feel that it is important to point out that Six is not the original owner of the yellow rain coat, so Otto's sister Sisi is most likely the girl we play as in Very little nightmares, not Six.
You missed one thing. Cici isn’t six, she’s the girl in the rain coat, from very little nightmares.
Six didn’t get the coat till after she was in the nowhere, and assuming it’s the same coat, she finds it in the pale city long after Cici dies falling off a cliff.
In very little nightmares, six is seen dressed as she is in the beginning of little nightmares 2, in a white nightgown. The player controls a girl in a yellow rain coat until she dies at the end and the rain coat is seen drifting in the water.
I was excited for breakdowns of this series but I didn’t expect it this quick
I hope one day this game gets its own movie
i discovered your channel thanks to little nightmares and Im glad youre the one that makes me remember that it exists and who tells me that the 3rd game is coming out. I really thank you horrorbro :]
Also, when Noone was describing the yellow raincoat, Otto interjected YELLOW?! in the background, as though one his sister used to wear. I think she is Sisi, and I believe Otto is Mono. The games show that one can exist in the timeline as two separate beings...Mono actually fighting the Thin Man. The stories kept referring to a "Purple Suit" and Otto's machine made the static-y noise that the TVs made when Mono tuned them with his power. I think Six and Mono had forgotten their previous life in The Counties, but somewhere along the way in their adventure, likely right after their own boss battle, Six with her own power was able to realize Otto was Mono, and that as an adult he was luring children into the Nowhere, and when the chance was permitted to her, she dropped him into that pit. Just a theory....
But remember, Otto was denied access because he was too old. Mono is a child, and Otto was told if he abused more kids then he would be able to enter as an ADULT, so that theory doesn't make much sense, maybe Ethan is mono though? I don't really know
Edit: i made this too damn long ago. Idk what i'm yapping about, ignore the yap session☠
I absolutely love Little Nightmares. It's so cool, I like the perspective of you playing as a little kid in a scary almost bedtime nightmare world. Absolutely love little nightmares so much.
Low: So Six dumped you ?
Mono: Yup…yes she did..
7:50 I don't think Mono is crossing into the nowhere, since he's neither waking up at the beginning of the game, nor is there a gray mist. I think since he is the Thin Man, he is a part of the nowhere to begin with.
I love the idea that the monsters we run from in little nightmares are adults who were cruel to children in the working world. Take the teacher in little nightmares 2 for example she was probably a really strict teacher in the counties and would punish the kids in her care severely also her ability to stretch her neck might be because she would turn her head towards the troublemaker in her class. And would try and seek them out hence why in the game she is seen looking for mono.
I have been excited for you to post,
I have been checking you're channel a lot
I feel a little bad for Otto he obviously went through a lot it doesn’t excuse the abuse but at least explains it
SuperHorrorBro, This made me laugh so much! Thanks for sharing!
it may be more likely that the girl otto referred too as his sister was not six, but rather the girl in the yellow raincoat, since we now know six only aquired the raincoat after the girl in the raincoat died in very little nightmares, i believe they also mentioned something about red ribbons? which would further the idea that it is indeed the girl in the yellow raincoat.
I just want to say thank you for writing some of the best podcast episodes!!
So amazing Mike I remember watching your little nightmares two videos all the way back in 2021 because I had no idea what was going on and now we’re all the way in 2023 and I’m all grown up I was 12 when LN2 came out and now I’m 15 it’s crazy how time flys by that quick little nightmares are always hold a special place in my heart can’t wait for the LN3 theory’s :)
THIS IS SO COOL. Ever since i experienced my trauma i have had extremely vivid dreams where i can feel, taste and smell. I really love this lore
What I found the most interesting in The sound of nightmares was when Otto realized that Noone left him on her own will, and he had a thought that maybe Sisi, his older sister left him intentionally too. After that he said something along the lines of "No, that can't be, Sisi leaving me? She would never". And from the earlier yellow raincoat detail that was in the 6th episode, I too think that Sisi is Six. This is complete speculation, but Sisi/Six leaving Otto who loved her and can't believe she did that? Idk about you guys but that sounds hella familiar to me, think of it what you will...
Thing is: If that raincoat did belong to Six, why did she find this in the trash? Why was it RCG who wore it first?
@@freeze_zane0691 If you're talking about the audio series, then I didn't really think about the details like where she found the raincoat, only Ottos reaction to that find. If you're talking about LN2 however, SuperHorrorBro said it in one of the videos, I think it was the full timeline one. If you didn't know, the raincoat didn't even belong to Six from the start.
@@kBandik Thats literally what I said: RCG was the original wearer of the raincoat, so the theory of Sisi being Six is pretty weak if people assume that the raincoat belonged to Sisi.
@@freeze_zane0691 Didn't know who RCG is. The raincoat isn't the only clue tho. There's the music that was mentioned in the video. Also as we know, LN loves to make names that are relevant for lore. It's an obvious one, but just compare the names. Either way I mentioned that this is mostly speculation in the original comment
@@kBandik Music, music, music, yes I heard. But do you know how many times the podcast constantly reuses background ambiences from the games to fit the mood?
Plus we even hear Noone singing the tune in Chapter 3 and unlike her rant with Otto in Ch5, it wasn’t reused audio. Honestly, if any of those characters are Six, it’d be Noone (although I highly doubt it).
Although believe me, if they so happen to reveal that the use of LN2’s theme was a completely in-depth thought choice, I wouldn’t be dumbfounded. But in my eyes, that’s a little unlikely due to all the reused ambiences that didn’t really mean anything. I could bring a lot of examples, but I believe you understand where I’m coming from :) Also, the name thingy, yes, IS something that I’m taking in huge consideration, which is why I’m still debating with myself with « is Sisi Six. »
A possible reason why the children are able to use certain powers after a while may be linked to the fact that children adept to foreign Environments also it's possible that their powers are interlinked with their traumas. If the Adults of the County have a way to cross as well(via. Death or disappearing) that would explain the behaviour and looks of the Monsters. Example: the Hunter..... hides it's face(anti social), lived alone, hunts but has no wild game(so he hunts humans instead), lost his family or misses them(made replacements), lost a child(keeps ones he finds save), had a hobby to indulge in and hunts down and peppers anyone who startles or gets close to him(maby his trauma)...........
I like this!
Interesting
Interesting
Bendy and the ink machine funny
So the ferryman's just trying to create a safeplace for these traumatized children, however, the adults of the counties have torn this haven apart and deranged into monsters.
This really blowed my mind..I have to hear the sounds of little nightmares....But, based on your theory..I think Cici is the Girl In The Yellow Raincoat fromm Very Little Nightmares..Whereas, Noone could be Six..A lot of things you mentioned seemed to point out that Noone is Six..Noone has Water Sickness..So, I think this Water Sickness is what causing Six to have Hunger issues which she feels twisting her internal organs which I got to know from LN wiki..Noone also experienced bullies at school which she similarly faced in Little Nightmares 2..and Noone is also a timid girl and a loner..Which proves why Six seems to end up alone in every LN games so far..This is just my Theory😅
Also to keep in mind
The doctor had a patient he somewhat cares about the one with the heart monitor
What if this was a representation of Otto's sister and confirms that the doctor is Otto and considering he exprimented and tormented so many in little nightmares 2 as well
Hard to believe how far this game has come. I remember back when we had absolutely no clue what was happening
I feel somewhat nostalgic when I see anything little nightmares
I have played Little Nightmare 1 and 2 so many times and I never knew about this, keep it up SuperHorrorBro!!
3:14 I feel sorry for her! Especially because after dealing with bullies and the life threatening water parasite! And now she's doing headaches and terrible nightmares!(it's very rude to call names like nobody! Ruth is somebody not a nobody! What a jerk those bullies are! I have to admit I feel like I'm staring to see demons rather than a human being! That's how I see bullies they are demons in this world to me!)4:22 wait she disappeared and later reappeared on the bed she sleeps!?(I know we do dream every night we just either don't remember them and wake up just fine! Or you experienced a dream or a nightmare! But I'm sure none of those three options doesn't make the person disappear in a later return to where they were sleeping! I mean I know this is a little nightmare logic I'm talking about!)11:00 talking about nightmares reminded me of my nightmare experience!(I remembered when I was a little girl i saw two images! One is a shadow show of a plane crashing with its explosions and a lot of smoke and the other the aftermath of the plane completely destroyed I was in the sky when I was looking at a forest and it felt so real and seeing a destroyed plane in the forest! But that was a long time ago! 11:25 I see that as a justifiable act! As well that's his punishment for tormenting the poor and innocent children! That's the price for not listening to the ferryman's warning! Abusers like that jerk deserve the worst punishment possible like a death sentence! Right?)
Is noone the girl on the TV in the janitors room? It looks like some kind of advert for something, the miracle cure?
Also, at 11:06, applying the idea of abusers of children in the real world being reflected by monsters in the nowhere to the lady and the thin man, whom six and mono are doomed to become, perhaps that is a metaphor for generational trauma? Maybe the underlying emotional theme of the game 🤷♂️
Whenever i see a little nightmares notification i press faster tha Mike can say “hey guys superhorrorbro Mike here!”
This is probably my favorite lore for a horror game it’s just perfect
I just rewatched little nightmares II, what a timing
it's been a second since i saw you do a theory, awesome to see one again!
As someone who's addicted to the world of little nightmares and we're getting a 3rd little nightmares game it's becoming more popular like I hoped it would be! What started off as 1 little confusing game branched off into fan made games and 4 games in total (counting the mobile game) and mobile comic! And the podcast!? LADIES AND GENTLEMEN we are seeing one helluva turning chapter and this is probably only the beginning :)
Man. I love the music you use for your videos. I started preferring your channel thanks to them.
Funnily enough, turns out the answer to little nightmares is that the games are indeed "little nightmares".
I just dont understand how the nowhere is a place to help children gain power against abusive adults when the only child thats gotten a somewhat good ending there is six. She seems much like the exception and not the rule tbh.
Keep up the good work!
Yes yessss I just listened to the podcast thank you so much ive been waiting so long for this
I must say that I love the world building that Little Nightmares has. But I have to wonder, what causes some of the children to accept the Ferryman's offer? I mean, we can't assume Otto was the cause of all of them. Like, I'm curious as to why Mono and Seven/RK accept it. I have so many questions, but looking forward to how the series continues.
I’m assuming they had their own tormentors teacher’s ,doctors ,other children it could be anything
Maybe some kids are born in the nowere idk
@@Basil6amer I doubt it
@@Lumberjack_king idk it was just a thought thats all
Finally, the story makes much more sense
I think Sisi is the raincoat girl from very little nightmares not six, as the raincoat girl was the first to wear that infamouse coat, I don't know if the brain tumour on the scan in the hospital is linked to noone at all? Or just a coincidence it could be that the childrens horrors manifest into the nowhere in some shape and form which is why the scans could be shown in the hospital, just a little mini head canon I have going on
