The Complete Little Nightmares Timeline Explained (Horror Game Theories)

[@elizabethmontgomery4134]

I think that when mono was caught by six at the end of the game, he wasn't wearing his mask witch revealed to six that he was the thin man. after seeing his face, and recognizing him as the thin man, six thought that dropping him and killing him would stop him from becoming the thin man but instead it just caused the cycle to repeat.

[@swangoose7029]

That explains why it seemed like she was deciding wether to drop him or not

[@joshuarojas9424]

also i think because six saw monos powers and how he could glitch into the tv like thin man did. thus why six was trying to pull him out to prevent him from reaching himself, or in fear something bad would happen.

[@jayraycrackerjack]

That would make sense the way she pauses for a second and then quickly recoils her hand in shock or fear.

It also makes sense because as Mono “defeats” the thin man with his powers, you can see the thin man holding up his hand telling mono to stop, trying to stop the paradox ther before it keeps going.

[@29999yearsago]

Huh

[@sarahsmile8451]

I think the reason why Six let Mono fall because he, in her mind, betrayed her by destroying her music box even though it was to save her. Because, when we first see Six in her monstrous state and call to her she presents the music box too Mono as if to show or share it with him. She only gets violent after he tried to smash it. Also, if you look at the way Six slowly gets up and stares at Mono after finally destroying the music box, her body language seems hostile to me. Because to her, that was a safe place, that was her comfort and he took it from her.

[@vel.x9751]

I also thought that, I mean she's evil obviously but I could also tell she had some good in her. After Mono destroyed the thing she cherished she was definitely not going to be in the right head space

[@faeriecat444]

yeah she i though she looked ready to fight mono when she got up, but then they had to start running.

[@jaimytourigny3027]

It think you may be right, also, I think Six may also BE the tower, explaining why she's taking such care of herself, bringing back all memories to soothe her pain, even if it's in the future, it's the tower's doing, that safe place along with the music box, who would EVER think it was Adult Mono's doing to force the tower to do that, even AFTER he's dead? Also, like said in the video, her name is written on the door that formed when the tower captured Mono. She may have been trying to showcase it to Mono "Look at what the tower gave me!" while all he see, is the difformation, wich he accuse the tower of doing to her, but it was the signal... it was HIM... and he destroyed that too

[@pvc6289]

That’s what I thought I didn’t wanna destroy her precious music box 🥺

Thin man was the good guy all along, he tries his best to save the world but always fails.

[@noratheweeb9387]

I’d have to disagree on Six’s reason for dropping Mono. It’s shown throughout the game that Six is a sadist. When Mono encounters her in her monstrous form, she still demonstrates a trust of him and even shares her music box with him. When Mono destroys the music box, it visibly causes her great distress and maybe even harm. Then she glares at him when she stands up again, even showing a menacing stance just before the Signal Tower shows it’s true form. This means Six drops him, not because she can sense some dark power or because she can see his face now as some commenters suggest (that makes no sense, as you can show her Mono’s face multiple times throughout the game), but because he hurt her and she received a chance for quick revenge. Something she also is shown to have a penchant for (when she crushes the head of the first bully you encounter after you free her in the school).

[@ghstphycho9679]

When I played the game I thought she dropped him after seeing his face because now she connected that face to someone who caused her a lot of pain and broke her trust and so maybe she wouldn’t have as much hatred in that moment if he had his bag to put back on

[@karismeek7525]

@@nylahodja5460 I think that Six, in that moment, hated Mono. They did build a friendship and Six did care for Mono, until he invaded her safe space (as the monster) and broke her music box (her comfort). Her angry feelings stayed while she returned to her small, normal self. We’ve seen that Six can be sadistic and loves to get revenge, so Six wanting to see Mono’s face as he realizes she’s going to drop him is not too unbelievable.

Theory: Six’s name comes from the 6th deadly sin, which is gluttony, considering how she always had a serious hunger issue in the original game, from eating normal food to the little gnomes and then the lady, and I think the passengers on the Maw back this theory up because of how they eat not stop and are really really fat Another thing I forgot to mention which puts the nail in the coffin is that the game was originally going to be called “Hunger” before the developers went with “Little Nightmares” EDIT PLEASE READ: I AM NOT GOING BY THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS ORDER.

Also notice how most end bosses have a rather normal aspect (I know that's a strech, and I also knoe the Lady has a face reveal in the DLC, however she has two models, one with her "real face" and the other were she's normal, perhaps only her reflection is distorted?) and supernatural habilities, and six has the hability to absorb the things she consumes/touches.

I like the little detail when mono opens the thin man's door. There's a blue light(representing sadness) shining through but as the door opens more the light begins to turn more pink to show that the thin man realizes that he's been set free.

[@anabel5205]

I noticed that too! Also, I don’t think the thin man wanted to hurt mono but to keep him away from six that’s why he always went for six and not mono (always tried to take her away and not mono) because he knew that in the future six would become evil (she ate the geisha lady and took her powers) and turning six into her nightmare (monster) was a way to warn Mono to stay away. Also, six lost her soul in the tower but still managed to regain consciousness that’s why she let him go rather than eat him later on after her stomach started to growl OR since mono’s hat was no longer with him, six saw his true self (thin man) and decided to let him go since the previous thin man was the one who locked her up in the tower.

[@lynn253]

my own theory on why six drops mono is a bit different, though i can’t say whether it’s more or less correct. from a psychological standpoint, six may have become attached to her prison in the hunters house in a way, finding comfort in the music box. when mono frees her, he takes away her home and her comfort, even if it’s with good intentions. he then takes her on a miserable journey that results in near death multiple times and exposure to the world, which her prison hid her from. the only reason she doesn’t go back is because there’s nothing left to go back to. finally, she’s taken by the thin man, further reinforcing the idea that leaving her home was a mistake. during the signal tower part of the story, maybe the tower reflected what she desired, or was a kind of metaphor. she got back everything she lost and was content to stay. then mono barges into her home again, destroys it again, and takes away her comfort again. he’s almost like the villain of her story, trying to drag her back out into a world she wants no part of. to that end, why should she save someone who’s only brought her misery? i’m not saying this makes complete logical sense, but emotions, especially tainted with severe mental illness which i’m certain six has, don’t always make sense to begin with. to six, mono took away everything she had, even if her home and coping methods weren’t healthy, and to someone already as fragile and traumatized as six might be, to her he might appear as the monster the tower portrayed her as, and perhaps from her perspective the monstrous one wasn’t her but rather mono. i don’t know, but either way that’s what i think.

[@UncleHornieAUS]

There's something I want to point out I haven't seen a single youtuber cover. With Six letting go of Mono, people assume it's because she's lost her trust in Mono, or sees the thin man in him. Yet, here's the thing. In the scene where the thin man takes Six from under the table, you see the shadow of Six left behind. I believe this shadow is Six's soul. After loosing her soul, her mind and body were under the control of the radio tower. Since Mono killed the thin man of current, the radio tower needed a new thin man. Six, being under the control of the tower, let go of Mono well aware of the consequences. Six wasn't supposed to be turned normal after becoming her twisted self. So after becoming normal, Mono set himself up for his own demise.

[@connorkenway5452]

ok i think my theory is almost make sense okay the developers confirmed little nightmares 2 is a sequel to little nightmares 1 the timeline supposed to be like this Very Little Nightmares->Little Nightmares comic->Little Nightmares in my theory in the comics the Fairy Man took Six to the Maw and in the end Six supposed to be the next Lady but then time paradox happened which disturbed everything... then timeline got distrupted Very Little Nightmares->TIME PARADOX->Little Nightmares 2 the LN2 is like what happened after Very Little Nightmares but the hunter caught her,i think the hunter should not exist in Six's origins,Six was supposed to get to the city and meet the Fairy Man but the hunter existed. But you can see that the hunter sack has a hole cause he got shot by Mono and Six using the shotgun but they didnt do it yet this proven its the time paradox cause this. Also the teacher neck is long cause she struggled in the vent but it didnt happen yet till Mono and Six using the vent and we can saw ashes at the doctor boss fight but he didnt get burned yet all because the time paradox. I saw a person said that the hunter,teacher and the doctor are six's friends in the comics so the Signal Tower make them become monsters. And at the Six boss fight we can see the bag from LN1 so this does prove that it already happened. And at the end the signal tower recreates itself causing the time loop that you cant go between the past and the future and stucked in the middle. At the secret ending Six soul got splitted and this might be another sequel and not the prequel cause the Fairy Man is not there so it might be a chance to move further....

I've got a theory of what Six's story really is: -The Tower corrupted much of the globe as thoroughly as it could. But there were few who tried to stay as isolated from the network as possible, trying to build their own versions of order, away from the tower. But due to have been already touched by the corruption, even their forms of order are delusional twisted. One such family is the Nest family. Their deformity was that they lost their souls, fractured into tiny glitched pieces, so they appear mostly normal, were it not for the fact their appearances were grotesque enough to refuse to appear in the photos. Another is the Lady, whose deformity was endless hunger in order to reverse her weakness and physical condition. These three had an arrangement in order to maintain the Maw working and keep themselves isolated from the main land. The patriarch and matriarch had two children, twin girls, more beautiful than them, yet souless as well. However, what made these two children special, was that one girl had the power to externalize her void, making people disappear in thin air. The other girl on the other hand needed to keep eating something that was or is alive, getting more powerful and beautiful with each victim she consumed. The latter is named number 6, as she's supposed to be the new Lady, as the current one seems to be getting more unhinged and sadistic with the guests she invites in order to get more money to maintain her establishment. The former becomes incredibly jealous of her sister, painting herself, to be even more beautiful than Six, ripping her sister's face off from a photo, and then ends their mother, as she planned to have more children. She then took control of the house's insane doll maker and the weary Butler by physically disabling the most threatening parts of their bodies, and ordered them to build that phantasy world of hers filled with dolls made from the children her mother intended to adopt and did everything she could to make it seem like she was an only daughter. Because of these events, Six stopped wearing anything that might have her look like her sister, and started to use her powers to find ways to attract children passing by her home in the hopes one of them could help her take her sister down. Eventually she succeeds. However, having grown fond of her latest victim, after her departure from the realm of the living thanks to the Pretender, she takes on her coat both to pay tribute and to hide herself from the world. After these events she goes to the mainland in order to destroy the Tower for being the reason her family was ruined, only to lose her beloved coat and be caught by the Hunter, who wished to let her body give up naturally in order to stuff her as his new daughter. And after the events of this game, in which she and Mono unknowingly find the glitched pieces of her soul, and her betrayal, as her hunger finally began to take hold of her, she was instructed by her shadow/soul (who either couldn't or refused to return to her body) to go to the Maw, where she should have gone to in the first place, in order to feast and become all powerful. And she did just that. However, because of the time distortion, she actually went to a past version of the Maw before the events in the second game. She made her way to the fortress, where she found her father's hanging corpse and what her family had been truly financing. They had been financing a mad narcissistic creature whose goal was to destroy the bodies of beautiful children and trap their souls in beings know as Nomes, under the excuse of protecting them from the Tower's corrupting broadcast, using the bodies to fatten the guests and then turn them into tomorrow's menu. A sadistic cycle to behold no doubt about it. As Six finally defeats the Lady, the guests and satisfies her hunger, she leaves, but her fate in this cycle becomes unclear. What I do believe, is that time in the Nest and the Maw works differently as well, since it is located far away from the Tower's tentacular reach. So she probably remains there in order to become the new Lady, going mad from her regret in leaving Mono behind, unable to see her reflection not out of vanity, but out of guilt, thus restarting the cycle, and this time try to capture her younger self earlier in order to keep her away from Mono and punish her past self. Only to fail, leading her younger self to go into the Pale city and continue the loop, now returning to a point in which her future self is already the Lady and she must defeat again in order to regain the powers the Tower stole from her. And that is where we know no more. She either decides to stay and continue the cycle. Or she leaves to try and fix her mistakes.

Six could have easily stopped the loop by not dropping mono in the first place so he wouldn't become thin man.

When six was captured, you could see her glitching remain. what's left of a child isn't the child, but an empty husk. this is also why six isn't hungry in little nightmares 2, because its a prequel to little nightmares 1. she's trying to fill the emptiness in her.

I have an interesting theory: Six is fated to become the signal tower because he says that after six kills the lady and loses her soul and goes on to become a monster that drains the life out of everyone, that sounds too familiar. Then she goes on to become the signal tower itself and this is where everything started. She needed something to bring the bodies back to her so she manipulated her younger self into dropping mono and releasing him to her. She traps mono and loses him again and again in a never ending cycle.
