I could and would honestly love this. Honestly not a bad theory and one of most likely out of all I've seen given that the children don't seem to corrupt perhaps that's what the ferry man wants, to corrupt the doctor into a hideous creature using Noone as a messenger to pique the doctor's curiosity. It could even be a monster that 1. Is already on the maw ( potentially the wax bellman, given the ferry man is described as the 'candle man' which could have the twisted effect of allowing him to make the doctors face like a candle, forever living as the ferry man's misinterpretation) or 2. A brand new character entirely who might not even have anything to do with the maw but I'm just throwing ideas at the wall so take it all with a big grain of salt 😄.

I think Cece, the girl Otto is looking for, might actually be Six. Technically it's not impossible to pronounce "Six" like "Cece" if you pronounce the x like it's a z, as it often is (take Xerneas from pokemon for example). And it's heavily implied that Cece traveled to the Nowhere permanently, or is stuck there, while Noone is switching between the two realms in her sleep.

[@DragonMousei]

That’s my thought too!! I wonder if the Nowhere is a place that you’re forever trapped in or only go to when you sleep, which if it isn’t would make Noone’s story that much more interesting, seeing as she maybe hasn’t been fully pulled into the Nightmare world.

[@spectrethefox5450]

But what do you expect him to do. He took him to see other childer happy playing and sharing cakes with each other. Why did he do that? Personally i don't think he is a pyschologist because she is completely seperated from his family and pyschologists doesn't seperate children from family. It is a different kind of patient i think. But at least i think he cares about her

[@c5365]

It's obvious Otto started with good intentions, then got more and more obsessed with finding his missing relative (Cece).

[@Grim-c8n]

Alright I just had a thought. So the "waking world" and Nowhere are being compared to a one way mirror, where people like Noone are on the side of the mirror where they can see everything while Otto is on the other side. In LN3 it seems that a big part of the game will be travelling through mirrors. So if the waking world and Nowhere are on two sides of a mirror, what if the key to escaping Nowhere lies in traveling through that mirror. In LN 1 and 2 it felt like it was all about survival or gaining power, but what if Low and Alone are actually trying to find a way to escape Nowhere?

[@williammendizabal8212]

But maybe the ending of LN 3 one will be able to escape but the other is trapped or dead in Nowhere, some how Otto knows the fairyman bc noone calls him the candle man not the fairyman, maybe when he was a kid and the person called cici he experienced the nightmares like noone is experiencing. Maybe a stretch but what if the fairyman gave Otto the option to go with him but he refused but cici did accept the fairymans offer, taking her to the dimension nowhere The fairymans true goal is to give nightmares of other children pulled to nowhere and experience the horror they had dealt and tricked them to go with him for safty but not knowing they are traveling to that world and being one of many new nightmares for future children to dream about Idk this is my guess on what's going on that I believe that they are saying the fairyman isn't who we think it is than how the comics portray him to he

[@williammendizabal8212]

[@agusnicoletti3051]

First one was about escaping The Maw... it failed, there's no place to escape in this nightmare Second one was about fighting the Signal Tower... it failed, you can't fight this nightmare So the only choice left is to escape from the nightmare itself, _escape from the Nowhere_

[@cathackzz]

this is a really cool theory! and there's also a very specfic mirror shown multiple times during the ln3 trailer, so that could be THE mirror to escape the nowhere.

[@jinx122]

[@ayd3n-q2m]

Noone (No one) is the nickname her school bullies gave her. It also matches that she's traveling into the nowhere

[@speed0291]

Chapter 4, alright. *Important Notes:* - Previously, Noone's dreams seem to be getting more real with each experience. - The room Noone and Otto are discussing about her nightmares this time, is in a Reunion Room. - Noone this time, awoke in what appears to be a circus/carnival like place, which coincides with one of the regions in LN3 that we will get to see. - It's seems to be true that there's another world/dimension out there where these "Nightmares" exist in. *Story:* We begin with Otto monologuing to himself (probably reading a book) about Psychology. In the topic of Duality, Otto states that within Noone: "there's the innocent child, and the disturbed traveller. Both fight for control." Otto believes that Noone is travelling in-between two worlds... Or that he has gone insane. Otto talks with Noone about whilst sleeping, she vanished, yet her brain activity (as shown in a device) was still ongoing. This leaves Noone distressed and confused, having a panic attack. And after Otto tells Noone to calm down, relax and breathe steadily. After eating some cake, Noone and Otto's discussions finally properly begin, Otto asks for Noone to equip on the device she usually wears in sleep, so he can compare the information with what he's obtained whilst asleep. Interestingly, whilst noone dreamt of the carnival world, she met someone named Rusty, and other teenagers, all part of the same Carnival group. Interestingly, rusty explained that he hates having to perform and put on a show, and that "They" force him. Rusty told Noone to keep the lookout for a purple man on a suit, and then give the sign. After convincing noone to help him and his group, he explains his plan will help them escape the world they were currently in. Back to reality, whilst talking to otto, Noone also believes that yes, the place she goes to whilst asleep is somehow connected to reality, like.. two separate rooms with one door connecting both. And after both discuss and argue about it, Otto explains that he wants to go to the nowhere with Noone, because he lost someone dear to him, it's why he's so interested in talking to Noone. Noone has another panic attack with all of what she's hearing to. Otto calms her down once again, and Noone continues her story. When they got to the top, Noone and her group prepared themselves Noone got to the tent, and Rusty led her to one of the best seats to watch the show and be on the lookout. where her newfound allies put on a show for allot of guests, which seem to be pretty comparable to the ones we've seen in LN1, except they aren't as hungry as those. When rusty gets on stage, Noone notices the man in the purple suit on a seat closeby. Noone got worried with that same man, as she could feel him breathing, and even, looking at her... without eyes? there was also a strange dummy on the man's lap. Because of the crowd's cheer, rusty couldn't her Noone screaming her sign. which grew in size, and creeped the hell out of Noone. With the immersion on the story broke, Noone gets another panic attack, this time it was worse than the others, and Otto has to calm her down again.. Im not sure what happened in the end, Noone either fell unconscious, or disappeared. By the end, it's Otto once again monologuing to himself about what noone has told him, it's becoming harder and harder to believe that these nightmares aren't just nightmares, but rather somewhere. He genuinely wants to reach that place, "Nowhere" and understand who Ferryman truly is. *Conclusion:* This chapter was incredibly interesting, it basically leaves the groundwork for the Little Nightmares world happening in another Reality. Which is way more interesting than the boring answer of: "Oh they're just dreaming, nothing is real."

[@takoyakiwcheese]

When I think about the teenagers, I figured that maybe some of the monsters did start as kids, but had slowly reached insanity as they grew older in this world of Nowhere. (Like how ***LN2 spoilers*** Mono had become the Thin Man.) If this were the case, I'd be really hyped if Rusty's friends end up being monsters in LN3 as well. Like The Circus Freaks or something.

[@Sanimatez7865]

Nowhere? Isn’t that the location that will take place in LN3? Maybe will get references to Noone and the counselor in the game. As for C.C, my theory is that it’s either Six or the girl who first wore the yellow raincoat from Very Little Nightmares. Though im more on the idea it was Six, that or Six was just one of his patients considering he talks about caring his patients by numbers in CH1.

The thing which I extremely like about this series is that they have some sort of thing mentioned at the beginning, and then used throughout the rest of the episode.

[@cameronmcginley]

I have to come forward and admit i was disappointed at first that we were getting a podcast instead of say a series but ive gotta say that the podcast style works so much better in the context of LN. Something about only being able to hear whats happening and not being able to see it makes it feel you're fabricating your own nightmare based off the description or at least thats how it feels for me which I think is awesome. I also like how this podcast is teasing what the Carnival level in LN3 is going to feel like. The description of people slumping next to one another reminded me of the guests piling in the maw, both feel 1. Comparable to sheep/ cattle despite being somewhat human and 2. Both seem to reflect the worst of human nature in this case i feel the guests reflect greed and the audience at the carnival gluttony. I dont want to drag this comment however given how 'human' these things can be in the real world i dont think its a stretch to theorise that all adults that find their way into the nowhere( nightmare realm) are corrupted and the nightmare seems to use their worst qualities against them, a bit like a sort of hell. I believe the doctor is going to find his way into the nightmare and his weakness, his want for knowledge will be used to lure him deeper into the nightmare, teasing him with answers until its too late. If you've made it this far than really, thank you for giving me the time of day and let me know what you think.

[@folklore6703]

The podcast is the exact opposite of the games telling the story with just words instead of visuals

[@Six-v9j]

Just realised something; So this psychologist wants to cross to the other world right? But he is an adult? even though, there is a difference between A doctor for mental issues, and a doctor for actual surgeries, he could be the doctor from little nightmares 2 if he crossed over into the world. He does seem to have an interest in experimenting with Noone and he may have a medical license too. So maybe he somehow did manage to cross and became that monster, OR he could have crossed, and became some sort of a monster psychologist in one of the doctor rooms that you see in the little nightmares 3 trailer. (Which might be a room of the hospital chapter that we didn't see in little nightmares 2, but idk.) Another edit: this is proof to when Samuel replied to my comment, but when she has wires on her head, there was also a patient looking at a picture (Which could be a representation of the picture in first or second chapter) and the same patient had wires attached to the patient.

[@egg9495]

Ok thoughts and theories! I feel like when adults travel to nowhere they become monsters and that's why they can't go The whole theme is how adults use children for their own desires and exploit them and that's exactly what the monsters in nowhere do. If the doctor gets there, he'll change. Mabey the nowhere turns you into what you are inside or what your greast desire is Who knows. Time seems strange there. Mabey the doctor IS the candle man, endlessly searching for the child he lost and using children to try and find her or perhaps he's looking for kids with special powers to try and stop whats happening after relising his evil deads

[@-A_person.]

Yeah!!! Good theory!!

[@zaydmerhab6167]

I have heard other theories that all the monsters are results of their desires so makes sense

[@plasmatic3223]

I gave it thought that each of the locations could hold relevance or represent the seven deadly sins, The Maw is most definitely gluttony, rounding up the gluttonous like cattle, that all they can do is excessively eat all of their problems away to death. The Pale City and Signal Tower could represent sloth, full of people that waste their time, all day, every day of their lives away looking at a screen of whatever program on the air they choose until they become those faceless husks of a person. I now have a dark theory that this Carnival we are hearing about here, and what we seem to see in LN 3 I regrettably say could represent lust, sexualizing and making children do whatever activity at the big top in these shows by whoever "they" are that Rusty refers to, basically a strip club for paedos. Which would be the most craziest level of taboo that this series has ever explored. I think it would be something to be best left implied when we get to this level in LN 3 but not straight up confirm something like that being just too dark. I almost hope I am wrong

[@DragonMousei]

@@plasmatic3223 BRO I’VE HAD THE EXACT SAME IDEA FOR YEARS NOW

[@AuriPlayzz]

So what I gather is that the Nowhere is an alternate dimension travelled to through dreams; by children - *POSSIBLY* by adults? - but definetly by children. i'm guessing that the nowhere feeds off of people's desires; as we see the guests going to the maw to feed, and the signal tower quite literally consumes the viewers who are fulfilled by the TV's; so it kinda pretends to be charming to lure you in but eventually it's true side is revealed when it may be getting too late - kinda like the Other World from Coraline maybe??

It seems that the world of LN is another world where some kids(maybe adults too) enter in their sleep. Pressumed to be just dreams. Which means those nightmares where real all along. Six, Mono, Low, Alone and all the other children where sent there. Most maybe unable to wake up. I feel like Six was able to wake up after the events of LN1, but we'll see if LN3 will ever reference or reveal what happened to her after The Maw. Overall, this is all amazing!

Could be possible to be honest 🤔 I just assumed that he works under mono. Like mono controls the entertainment in the nowhere and he has people around the world to be sure that everything works like it suppose to work. I used to think he was the jester of whoever was controlling the world.

[@MistaManlyGuy]

I was wondering if it could be adult Mono as well. I appreciate how accurately you pieced this together though. I wouldn't even be upset if the doctor was the Ferryman. They could fit together nicely

[@FV0RT3X]

This is wrong in so many ways. Firstly mono can't be the man in the purple suit due to how he's stuck in the loop(and nowhere while as thin man he decides to own a carnival and get a dummy lol) secondly for the last time, Six ISN'T the Lady, it was already confirmed several times that they aren't related. And about the dr, it makes more sense for him to become the supposed mirror man in the game rather than the ferryman, specially when "Psychiatry is mostly smoke and mirrors". Also why would he be the one to kidnap his beloved one? lmfao

Im starting to think on a few things 1. Noone could be Six all along and this is telling Six's backstory, and maybe revealing her true name to be No-one 2. She could be turning into something due to traveling into the Nightmare world and back 3. She might be getting powers from these dreams that she just can't control Thats all I think is probably happening, but I could be wrong! Overall I love this episode! This is just getting better and better! Can't wait for the next chapter!

[@umang6771]

This franchise's lore & world-building are absolutely fantastic. I couldn't be more thrilled with this direction, & it also makes each of the games more replayable.

[@MaxTheFloof]

I like the detail of the background changing, the dark blues and purples on the first few logs but for red it’s began to be more intense

[@lerneanlion]

How vast is this Nowhere? If it encompassed a desert that contained an ancient ruins, an ocean, the Pale City and a forest, it must be a very vast place. However, what I am curious is about what Otto wanted to know. If this friend of his, Cece, is still stuck there. Where could she be? Is she still trapped in a form of a child? Is she now a gnome? Did she grow up in there along with the rest of her body in the waking world while also becoming one of the denizens in this nightmarish world? Or worst, is she someone's food already? And what happened if the child died in this nightmarish world? Also, why nobody made connection with the animated movie about Doctor Strange from 2007 yet?! You know, like how Dormammu tried to come to Earth from the Dark Dimension through the children's nightmares and dreams!

[@verytallfox9960]

@lerneanlion The children don’t stay in their original world. Their bodies are physically transported as well as time goes on. That’s why CeCe vanished. There is no physical trace of her remaining in her homeworld other than people’s memories. The same is beginning to happen to Noone. Otto details physically witnessing her vanish and I think it happens again? I’m not sure if he was referring in this episode to episode 3’s vanishing incident or another one. But yeah, it starts off as a dream and gradually becomes a physical tangible reality that pulls its visitors over and traps them on the other side. They get transported there when they go to sleep, and their real bodies eventually start coming over with them. Hope that was clear!

I hate otto how he does not give a fuck of what noone is going through. in my opinion he just wants to know who the candle man is. the way he is so DESPERATE to find out which and what he is.. just triggers me because he is isn't paying attention to noone's real feelings. for example, she wasn't so comfortable to do the test with wires and all that and than the way otto just throws in "trust, remember?" its just so.. triggering. the way he isn't paying attention to noone's feelings at all is the way how I feel people treat me.. not paying attention to you or even understanding you and you problems..

[@jeremiahst6551]

It's got to be intentional to, he's got to be a villain of some sort cuz he just sounds like he's trying to be her friend to get answers, but the answers are not to help her at all it's only helping him and only him

[@superlemonslicer1224]

Otto feels fake somehow, its hard to describe but when he talks to Noone it seems like he is just pretending

[@c5365]

I think Otto started with good intentions, then got more and more obsessed with finding his missing relative (Cece).

[@GrahamLavelle-hn3sz]

He was probably trying to get over it, and noone pushed him over the edge. Also, it probably doesn't help that there are new dimensions apart from this one. I think Otto went to a point where the kind therapist died in him. PS:if you say "trigger" multiple times in a sentence, I'm not taking you seriously, but I'll laugh a little.

7:21 you can hear a song from little nightmares 2 faintly! It might be for when mono picks up the flashlight in the hospital and its dark. Or it might be when you turn off the power in the hospital.

[@Pokebros412]

(SPOILER WARNING) The pink back round is a foreshadow to what happens later in the episode. As we know we've seen this colour alot in little nightmares II the negative meaning of pink/hot pink whatever you like to call it. the meaning of it is "A lack of will power, self reliance and a lack of self worth." Mono was forced to become the thin man which explains why the pink color is shown on is transformation. In this case, Noone tried to shout the phrase to rusty but couldn't breathe which is a lack of will power. Then after that she said "1, 2-) then cut out which means rusty after climbing to the top of the tent the puppet pushed him off and met is fait.

So now it’s confirmed that the world from her dreams and the world from the Little Nightmares games is the same! Both Noone and the video description from LN3 describe the world as being “Nowhere” (It’s probably been mentioned elsewhere too but I just never noticed until now…). It’s really interesting that there seems to be an entire normal reality that our protagonists definitely originated from. Also, this series is fantastic!! The voice actors do a phenomenal job and the sound effects and music really make it easy to visualize exactly what’s happening. I can’t wait for more!!

[@zaydmerhab6167]

I don’t know if I’m off my rocker but I was looking for equivalents of Otto in LN, which would basically be a person who is meant to help another little girl and the only one that really fits is mono or maybe the runaway kid who help six. If it’s mono the characteristics kind of align as mono is also someone who tried helping a little girl who is sometimes a bit too forceful and removes the innocence of the girl (mono breaking the music box).

in the steam news for little nightmares 3 it says "Are you ready to return to Nowhere, little ones?" edit: now that I think about it back in chapter 1 wen noon was in the walls of the clock tower she never described it as a building, the closest she got was describing it as a prison(but as we have seen from the first game prisons can be wired in this world) she only ever called it a stone giant, in the trailer for little nightmares 3 the monster we see most of is this building sized doll, could that be the stone giant she was in? what if ever chapter of the sounds of nightmares is a hint at the monsters and locations we will encounter in the 3rd game, the stone giant as mentioned, the trailer also showed plump men and women dancing in a lantern lit market at night which could be the bath house, and chapter 3 had noon brake a mirror and some kind of haunted mirror kept showing up in the trailer

The moment when Noone can’t breath properly, I just hold my breath The dialogue, the story and the tense, the background and the effect sound were just too remarkable and I’m sooo in to depth in the story.. I hope they could just continue this story without left it hanging, I want the truth until the end

[@cordysepsz]

So here's my theory about Nowhere: Nowhere's time works different. Otto told Noone's body vanished for a split second. But she spent way more time in there. Which makes me think that a second in real world is equal to longer time in Nowhere. Also even though Mono spent years in there, he is still a child in real world if my theory is correct. (I'm not a native speaker i might misunderstood some stuff, correct me if so.)

[@thesoundoflira]

Wow wow wow!! The chills! This episode was something else... So incredible. Can't wait for the next one!

[@plasmatic3223]

This is everything I think is going on so far (Just my theory) The Nowhere is some alternate universe or future in which it's reality, as well as society has been completely twisted, and transmogrified by the signal tower or whatever the big supernatural corruptive force behind everything is, that feeds off children's fears, and psychological suffering until they ultimately grow up to become monsters themselves "warped by pain" as mentioned in the last episode. The world the Nowhere is itself has been almost, if not entirely purged of all it's children as most of them are now the monsters we see in the games, and hear about in this podcast series being completely stripped away of their innocence. Now it resorts to pulling other children from other universes suffering from traumas from the rips in time, and space the signal has caused from all the reality alterations it has done to the world it originated in. Noone's past trauma from having the water sickness, being on TV, and possibly taken advantage of by this celebrity doctor that Otto mentions, to even her discovering the aphids in the flower pot. All those events is how she is phasing in, and out between the Nowhere, and this world where the sessions take place until she is in the Nowhere permanently, just like C.C. , Six, Mono, Low, Alone, and many more of the other children in this series. (ps props to the voice actors in this episode, this storytelling, and acting did not need to be this good)

[@Happy_girlbff1]

I find this chapter the scariest and most terrifying one out of the 6, and it was written by Supermassive Games who are making Little Nightmares 3. If that's the audio, imagine how the whole game will be.

[@HorrorFan0]

The carnival is one of the location we go through in little nightmares 3

[@johnperkey4407]

Here's my theory: Each of these episodes is parallel to a current game/future game. We have episode 1 paralleling Little Nightmares 1. Episode 3 paralleling Lightle Nightmares 2. With the whole carnival thing going on in this episode and the potential carnival in the trailer for Little Nightmares 3, I feel it is possible that this episode parallels Little Nightmares 3. There are 6 episodes, which means we would have episode 5 or 6 left to parallel Very Little Nightmares, leaving the other of 5/6 and episode 3 for future games. (It is possible that episode 3 is a parallel for the 2017 comics. However, it has been a while since I've read those, so I wouldn't know. If this is the case, I'd be shocked if the remaining episode didn't parallel the 2021 comics) The starting phrase in each episode "From the world of Little Nightmares" has me quite perplexed as to whether this series is canon or not. It could mean that it is actually in the same world,* or that it is just another piece of the franchise (like how the FNAF book may or may not be in the same cannon as the games) *world meaning same universe or whatnot (same existence?) I think that the fairy man's goal is to bring as many people fully into the Nowhere and that this entire time, all of the game locations have been other realms that kids have been kidnapped and brought to. Meaning that this entire time all of these locations have been sort of fake. I feel as though this theory has been staring at us this entire time. With the name "Little " shouldn't we have assumed that it was all only a dream? That none of it was real? This was a theory that had been simmering in my brain for a while and I hated it. But somehow, this series has changed that theory, from something that feels cheap and cliche, into something that feels well thought out and satisfying. This video is giving me all the more high hopes for the lore of this franchise

I wonder if this means that the kids in the games are crossing into another world of sleep and dreams, or if somehow that other world has overcome the 'waking' world and replaced everything. If the former, they could be saved by 'waking up'. If the latter, well, that would be a real nightmare.

So cece the girl otto is looking for was a patient/relative of him, who disappeared years ago who is most probably six cuz in very little nightmares six had the outfit of a hospital patient (cuz otto was treating her in hospital then she disappeared)

[@loristanger9630]

I feel like this episode is supposed to represent the Little Nightmares 3 trailer. My thought on this is because if you look at the trailer for LN3, you’ll see that Low and Alone, (the two kid protagonists in LN3) visit what seems to be a twisted carnival area. Also at the beginning of this episode, when Noone talks about how she fears being alone, it reminds me of the character Alone in LN3. However my personal theories suggest that Noone is actually Six, and that Otto’s sister, Cece, is the original yellow raincoat girl in Very Little Nightmares.
