Little Nightmares theories PT2

[@jocannone]

Im so happy rn, im glad my theory has been put out a bit more in order to get others to think about ti also!!

[@neon-sphinxfoster5340]

Happy to help ^^

[@igorkarsanov2374]

My Theory: It is set in a world with 4 species in a tight food chain: Rats, Gnomes, Humans, and Giants. However breaking this chain results in the person receiving a large amount of power, either literally or figuratively. The lady and the hanging man are humans who avoided being eaten long enough to take over the maw, the janitor was a human who performed cannibalism, the chefs are giants who managed to learn to prepare food instead of just consuming, the leeches were rats that learnt to catch gnomes and humans, and Six became so powerful because she worked her way up the food chain one by one The Maw acted as a nexus for these tradeoffs of power and actually had no set infrastructure, instead ships just came and dropped off members of all four species, which then organized themselves into a hierarchy through instinct. Also I think that the lady and Six were actually just small links in an endless cycle where a child would wake up, eat their way through the maw, and eventually take out whoever is on top, inheriting their power and their position, meaning that Six eventually becomes the lady until the next one. Also also maybe the reason the lady sent her child away was because she reminded her so much of her 9 yr old self. Also also also maybe she is called Six is because she is the sixth lady so far.

[@neon-sphinxfoster5340]

An case of defying natural selection. I like it ^^

[@teddybear1829]

I sort of agree with the races, as there are gnomes , it makes sense for there to be giants ..I heard the janitor was just a person who came onto the maw and became a worker there, working in the darkest depths of the maw and became blind

[@madisonseyfried4926]

The last "also" is the only theory I've come across as to why the protagonist's name is Six. I had wondered if the Lady had five other children before Six and that she might have killed them off or sent them elsewhere to be killed. If that's true, then One, Two, Three, Four, and Five might be wandering around or dead. There may even be others after Six. But I like this theory, too. :)

[@madisonseyfried4926]

There's something that bothers me about the hanging man: the chair that he supposedly used to kill himself is way too small. There's no way he could have hung himself from that little thing. And the chair that he could have used? It would have been kicked away. Isn't it possible that he was actually murdered and the chair and note were put there to suggest otherwise? It's not a very convincing cover-up when you really think about it. If the man was the Lady's husband, maybe she killed him over a disagreement or she feared him turning on her. Maybe her decision (if, indeed, it WAS hers) to feed children to the guests went too far for the Maw's business and she silenced him when he tried to stop her. The Janitor would be a good suspect as well, as his long arms could have easily climbed up and strung the man up there. It may even have been Six. The suitcase she wakes up in was probably his and she just decided to sleep there after killing him. I don't know how she could have done it, but she was able to outwit the Janitor and SEVER HIS ARMS. She might have outwitted the man in a similar fashion. And the little chair is the only thing she could manipulate because she couldn't use the ridiculously tall chairs, and though I imagine a lot of people have tried to read the note found near the man, it cannot be picked up either, probably because Six already knows what it says given that she had written it herself. If any of these scenarios I have described above are true, then why did the murderer feel the need to disguise the homicide (albeit rather shoddily)?

I've looked through over 1000 Japanese yokai and demons and I've put together what I think every single character in the game is (except the chef) and I'm guaranteed about the geisha (lady in black) so how this is gonna work is I'm going to number how likely they are of being the certain demon (1 being the most likely) so I hope you like this (it took me 2 days to make) Six 1. Amanojaku, a small demon that instigates people into wickedness 2. Abura-akago, an infant ghost who licks the oil out of Andon lamps 3. Jikininki, Ghosts that eat human corpses 4. Kubikajiri, Female corpse chewing graveyard spirit 5. Aoandon, The demonic spirit which arises from an Andon lamp at the end of a hyakumonogatari kaidankai The Guests 1. Gaki, Starving ghosts of especially greedy people 2. Yomotsu-shikome, the hags of the underworld The Kidnapper (Janitor) 1. Te-no-me, A ghost of a blind man with eyes on his hands ( this could be why he moves around with his hand because he is clearly blind) Deleted Character (See bottom if confused) 1. Kambarinyōdō, a monk that spies on people using the toilet 2. Hanako-San, A spirit of a young WW2-era girl who haunts restrooms Geisha (lady in black) 1. Hannya, A noh mask representing a jealous female demon (see why at bottom) 2. Datsue-ba, an old woman in the underworld who removes clothes and/or skin of the dead (see why at bottom) 3. Oiwa, the ghost of a woman with a distorted face who was murdered by her husband 4. Hikeshibaba, an old who extinguishes lanterns 5. Arikura-no-baba, a woman with magical powers 6. Amazake-babaa, An woman who asks for sweet sake and brings disease 7. Mu-onna, the nothing woman Explaining the geisha theory I believe the geisha is Six's mother and the geisha isn't beautiful but six is, so she ships six off to be eaten, so therefor the geisha is jealous of six and wears a mask that's why I think the geisha is a Hannya It's clear that the geisha runs the ship so she probably runs the food I.E eating the kids, if you go into the janitor/kidnappers room he has all the kids clothes so that's why I think she could be a Datsue-ba And I already said that I think the geisha isn't beautiful so that's why I think she is a oiwa The deleted character is something the developers showed a costume at a convention with a character in a bellboy outfit with a droopy face, they showed him in a video with him behind a mirror, and in a section of the game you are in a restroom and you have to break the mirror to get out and behind the mirror is a chair with someone supposed to be in that chair he could be watching you from the other side and that's why I think he is a Kambarinyōdō

[@castiel6842]

*coughs* It's a pretty rough theory, but at least I tried! :'D

[@madisonseyfried4926]

I think your theory is quite sound. There seems to be a subtle Japanese theme to the game, given the paper doors and kabuki masks. Even some of the wallpaper seem to have Japanese style drawings of an ocean with the Maw surfacing with a smoking chimney. I also heard there was a theory about Six being a Tengu because of one of the masks you can get for her to wear. A Tengu is a Japanese spirit that torments the vain, is known for extinguishing lights in temples, and sometimes takes on the form of small children.

[@castiel6842]

Yea, another reason I think this is Japanese, is because of one of the clothing choices. Geisha's dress seems Japanese too. The way the sleeves go down, and the mask seems like one of those you will find on one of the actors or actresses in Japan's theaters. Edit: And thanks for your opinion on this theory!

[@neon-sphinxfoster5340]

Well, I like the research you put in to this ^^ With each possible idea behind each Yokai and each character in the game, it is very plausible ^^ good work

[@castiel6842]

omg thank you! I've never been so proud of hours and hours of work, let alone have someone comment and agree on it! So again, thank you all!

[@ReverendSyn]

Or maybe the diners are just inhuman monsters who eat children in an unreal fantasy world. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

[@MechNINJ4]

if you look at the full maw you can see it's like a head and you can make out ears and them going into a mouth and the connector to the boat as the tongue and even a nose, 2:32

[@neon-sphinxfoster5340]

well a Maw IS a description word for the mouth of a ferocious animal

[@hannahjones-sly2167]

if there was a starvation spell I don't think the person at the start of the game would have shared the bread

[@Crimson_Memory]

I think the gnomes are the builders of the maw as it would explain why their are such small ladders and passage ways running through it?

[@madisonseyfried4926]

I'm thinking the gnomes are related to the other kids and the person who threw Six the food. The gnomes may be very small in size, but that person and the kids are grey in color unlike Six who wears a yellow raincoat and has normal human skin color. Their grayish, drab color could be a clue as to what they are, and why Six likes to hug them at first. Maybe they were once human and the Lady's magic transformed them as an after affect.

[@twindra]

Let's hope they make a second Little nightmares to cover more questions, because so far, I've had to forget some stuff to Make room for these theories.

[@heavenlyusurper]

Okay, here is my theory: What if nothing in the game ever happened?I believe the whole game is the nightmare of six:And abused, Depressed child.The janitor represents her brother or someone else, the first chef represents her step father,the 2nd chef represents her uncle,the hanging man represents her real father,whom either hung himself or divorced,the Geisha represents the mother,and the gnomes represent her Depression and despair.And when she Kills/Defeats the Geisha,she goes up into the light,with gnomes watching from below,and she is finally at peace.

[@greyscaless_]

Mew Mew LPS 😮 Deep man

[@aguywithachannel9319]

Mew Mew LPS well it is called little NIGHT MAVES so possibly

[@vinteage1078]

I have a question why was the red butler cut out from the game at games on he's found in the mirror closet that you smash is he still there?

[@mrgamerplays2333]

i think six was there so she would devour everyone inside, because the only time she gets there is when the passengers arrived. Showing her that a feast is laid before here (maybe, just a theory).

[@foomongus2935]

at 8:48 there is mkiceandfire watermark in bottom right and he sis not put his vid or channel in desc 🤔🤔🤔🤔 kinda fishy

[@stinkynorsk5883]

I think that Six is Lady's daughter, and the Hanging man is her father. So Lady saw that Six is more pretty, and ordered the Hanging man to put her into the Nursery, which inhabitants people are going to eat. The Hanging man loved Six, so he put her in the suitcase and hanged himself, because he did not want the Lady to take his soul...

[@spac3y__81]

i got a thoery too : whats behind the masks of the Twin Chefs , The Lade And for sixe idk

[@brandondavis3533]

can you link the comic

[@decoracreations]

I have one thing to say try this the story of the game is that you as six is the daughter of the lady (masked woman). You see she is obsessed with beauty and her looks. The people in the masks have a hunger for any kind of meat so when animal meat starts to run low the lady kidnapped young children promising them a good life but she tells the cooks to feed them and fatten them up and when they are fattened up the cooks take them and cook them. when the people eat them the lady uses her power to suck the life out of the people to keep herself mortal.when she realises that you're more beautiful than her she locks you in the bottom of the ship with the other children. The gnomes are the malnourished children and so are you. Six has the power like her mother but not all of it. that's why in the end she sucks the life force out of her mother so she has all of her power so she can get revenge on all those who ate the children and are continue eating them. That's how far the story has gotten. What do you think of it now?

[@Joshkid2000]

franbow and coraline fusion

[@alwxk98]

The lights flicker due to the appearance of "Shadow" Six appearing during the hunger scenes.

[@dominikkolarevix6455]

theory: all of them are really hungry and your soul will only satisfy them

[@imacat5995]

but how did they get a captain u know the deriver of the boat

[@dragou9776]

what happends if you don't actually try eating the gnomes in little nightmares :/ has anyone done that? or do you actually eat'em to continue? or am I dumb?

[@leperabr.1220]

sadly there's no way you can proceed without eating the poor gnome

[@aguywithachannel9319]

leperabr. well she went insane and super hungry so...

[@ButterflyColors]

Why does the geisha have so many mannikins, how was six eating everyone with their small mouth, does she have sharp teeth, how come six is the only one with wearing a bright color, what does eyes have to do with everything, how come six purposely tries to hide her eyes with her hair kind of like how the geisha hides her eyes with the mask, how do eyes have to do with everything they help us see the beauty in the world, who decided to make a man made ship, where exactly is the ship located in the world, if six is 9 and then where did she spend the nine years of her life, why does the geisha have a picture of the only other humans looking creature on the boat (who is six), why do they wear masks, why was there a suicide rope thing about the chef kinda of like the guy from the beginning, Who is the guy from the beginning, whatever happened to the bellhop, I have so many questions!!!!!!

[@ZeeBoe]

In one point when you eat something a rat before you face the janitor if you look to the left you can see a demon look a like six pretty weird

[@ainsooalgown9379]

I think that the five yellow jacket kids in the comic are the kids of the lady

[@unknownguy639]

So the meat that we saw in the meat locker were made out of other guests??

[@that1outlaw]

But I Have A Theorie at the end You know a boats coming Is Part 2 going to be you consuming The Passengers in that Boat?

[@wanhairul9761]

i also have a theory:probely we are the nightmare we are the one that is the bad guy like look at the player he eat his friend wich is the nome and we.kill the lady so the player is the bad one so that is my theory.

[@villgernumber1132]

this will help theory 2 check the art concepts you can see six chopping meat

[@villgernumber1132]

this will help the theory 2 check at the art concept you can see six chopping meat

[@evangelisthahn3478]

The Top 3 Theories on Little Nightmares 1. The Original Six in believed to be the better looking daughter of The Lady. The Lady being vain, banished Six to the Dungan area to be turned into the meat the guests were eating. As some bonus info, the hangingman which is believed to be “The Bellboy” (from Gamecom) with his costume and mask off… 2. The Tangu Theory In this Theory Six isnt as she seems. Six is actually a Japanese phantom creature called Tangu, which disguise themselves and sabotage the dreams of the vain (The Lady). 3. The Nightmare Theory In this Theory the entire world of Little Nightmares is INDEID a nightmare. The Maw, the Monsters, and her hunger is a reflexion of her sad life in the real worldCHECK OUT THE PROOF AND DEEPER DETAIL OF THESE THEORIES EXPLAINED BY KZbinRSThe Tangu Theory by The Inhuman OneThe Nightmare Theory by Magical Noob (discussed in a video called “Little Theories About Nightmares”)
