I thought a good ending could be where Mono never absorbs any of the glitching remains. My theory is that Mono gains his... what do you call it... space and time TV warping powers by absorbing the glitching remains, and that’s why thin man leaves behind the glitching remains whenever he takes people who were looking at TVs for too long for Mono to eventually gain power and then release him from that one room that he’s been sitting in ever since Six betrayed him. That was a mouthful... anyway, what if Mono never absorbed the glitching remains? That would mean that he would never be able to go inside the TV and free thin man, effectively breaking the loop. But then chapter 4 would have to be reworked entirely, the TV puzzles would have to be changed for the good ending, same with the viewers section. Maybe Mono and Six would still try to go to the signal tower once they figure out that it’s broadcast is warping and distorting the world around them, making all these horrific monsters, and maybe they’ll meet thin man there when they try to turn off the broadcast. One boss fight without the main character having powers and a small chase scene with the flesh monster, and then Mono and Six escape the signal tower and onto a train, where they eventually start to travel away from the pale city. As thin man looks on at what’s happened, he turns around and destroys the flesh monster, or makes the flesh turn into whatever forms and people they used to be. That’s my idea for a good ending.

[@ryssuesanz1660]

I have the theory that little nightmares is a huge reference to children's abuse and exploitation in different ways. Being specially creepy in the first game. Just hear this: a creepy semi-underwater island where kidnapped children are retained until a bunch of big and fat men come to get satisfied with their meat. All of this being ruled by a mysterious lady who is dressed as a geisha. But I do really think that eating isn't exactly what these people are looking for in the maw, but actually what a innocent child would think. Our protagonist here is Six, a little girl who, as many other children in this creepy world, has going through a lot, being tormented by the common and horrible nightmares children tend to dream about, like hospitals, strict teachers, bullies, creepy monsters in the forest (maybe due to horror movies) and barbers with giant scissors. But the maw is kind of too much for a normal nightmare, and what if this what six and the other children really think about a place who treat and exploit children selling them in the black market? Many of these "guests" are dressed in suits, and as fucked as this world is, I don't think anyone can actually access the Maw. Other curious thing is that the lady is a geisha, and, as some users have pointed, it seems she hasn't being the first to ruled this place. If anyone has watched the movie: Memories of a Geisha, you would see how these houses worked, and how, having many years working in the business, those trapped girls could ascend if the ruler see their potencial, even to the point of becoming the next successor. It's important to remark that these places could provide "special services" apart from company. Even though many that was for the good and famous houses. The low ranking ones, the ones in the "shadows" directly offer other "things" Other users also pointed how the chefs weren't seemed cooking human children parts, but rather animal's meat, so, where the children go after being despatched by the janitor? I have the theory that the children trapped in the maw start the rumor because not really knowing what happened there until the moment they were despatched, maybe they knew a little about the kitchen. So this take us to LN2 and Six's music box. This box, who Six really care about, sing the same song heard in the maw by the Lady, and here, I remember youtubers who theorized that this box represent Six's innocence or save space. And so many said that maybe this was the song that the lady song directly to six. But I think that the reason why both are related to this song is because it does represent their innocent, and thar the song is actually well-known in Maw by the children. The lady would still sing it trying to remember her past as an innocent child, surviving in the Maw until she could become the successor. For the pale city and the rest of LN's world I have the theory this is place after a war, or a huge event. As seem in the the artworks, many places and clothes send 50 to 70's vides. Apart from this, the signal tower could be a metaphor for media propaganda. Something the children couldn't really understand, but what adults would really pay attention to. Even to end of the game, where we thought everything was being controlled by one single man, but ended up being done by a huge mass of flesh and eyes, ones who wold refer that there is actually more than one mind in the power and that it isn't as simple as defeating one boss to bring everything to normal. I also think that the loop could be a metaphor for recruitment and that mono did became A thin man, but not exactly the SAME thin man. Yes, we saw him growing older and using the same clothes, but may serve to reinforce the idea of him becoming what he tryed to defeat and he has finally accepted becoming like him. As seemed in the comic and through the game, mono is naturally a leader, wanting to help and guide others. And maybe, he had connections with the signal tower itself (like family connections). However, his ideals are different from the ones in power, he didn't want to control and twist everything, he is still a child who just wanted to help others. That's why he could became a good rebellion leader in the future. So instead of directly killing him, the signal tower instead would try convincing him to change sides seeing how much potencial he would have in becoming the next thin man. The fact that not many children have powers could reinforce the idea of "potencial" in their respective places. Being the power to travel to tvs a reference of reaching the mass in several places through media brainwashing. The end this, I think the reason why the previous thin man tryed stopping Mono to reach the signal tower is that he knew the signal tower's plans in replacing him with the kid. Maybe he felt sympathy for him at the end and try convincing him to leave six behind and escape his fate. I do think thin man's previous actions were controlled by the tower, as commanding him to kidnap Six so Mono would try rescuing her. Six spending time in the tower and she getting twisted by it could make her think Mono was actually in the tower side and so she ends up betraying him. Mono getting betrayed by six would make him loose the last person he could trust in that twisted world, leaving him in isolation just in the company of the tower which for years brainwashed him in becoming the next heir. At the end, children are the most easier to mind control. Auto like to don't dessapear

A very interesting theory... I do think myself that the Little Nightmare’s world as we know it works as an entire ecosystem warped by the signal tower’s transmission, as we can see in the wilderness part of the game, where even animals and natural landscape seems corrupted by the transmission’s influence, or even in the pale city, where the buildings are literally bending on each other and collapsing forward on themselves due to the warped evil force of the tower’s broadcast. A question that tormented me when I finished playing the second game, considering the story of the first one and the Very Little nightmares mobile game, is why do, in this entire world under the control of the signal tower, children are being chased and targeted by every creatures living in this warped world ? In fact, we did see, in the little nightmares 1 game, that children are raised aboard the Maw only to be eaten by the guests, as they’re supposed to be, taking part in a gruesome and dark cannibal feast, of which they are one of the main composants of an horrible menu. But later in the LN franchise, when Very Little nightmares came out, we did see that some children, such as the pretender from the nest, are kept alive and protected for unknown reasons, but they do seem to live in a completely parallel privileged life compared to children of the continental land, which are hunted and chased by everything that’s grown up to an adult size, for no apparent reasons, other than pure barbarian rage and violence... In fact, as the guests, cooks and janitor from the maw all have a reason to kidnap and kill children, some other enemies, such as the viewers, the hunter or the doctor, technically don’t have any reason to murder children, as they don’t feed on them, just killing them for the pure satisfaction of calming their blood thirst. Another evidence that supports this problem is the fact that children aren’t born themselves, and considering the fact that everything wants to murder them since they’re younger age, it would be easy to murder a newborn from the time he or she takes his/her first poke in the outside world. So... why would these adults try to kill the new generations, as we saw that children do grow up to become adults themselves, with mono becoming thin man ? Because murdering children is the easiest way to stop the chaos that rules the world. Technically, it would make sense : No new generations meaning no new people to get corrupted by the signal tower to be warped like their predecessors... But then, why do schools exist in this world, in order to raise and educate the porcelain children, who will obviously never grow up to become adults, as they exist by the pure manipulations of the tower’s influence on non-organic objects ? Why do they keep raising these dolls if they’re never meant to grow up ?? Obviously, there are no humans left in this world apart from the warped creatures that emerged of the former people that got corrupted... So do the adults hope to completely erase the human kind, leaving the world to a next generation of porcelaine-made monsters that would replace the human kind ? It would also explain the hunter’s taxidermy and the doctor’s manipulations, in order to get the humans to become artificial-made creatures, that would completely obey to the signal’s influence, keeping the ecosystem alive... Then, the real children may be born from humans that survived the apocalypse, and left trying to survive the corrupted world they’ve been born into... a last theory is that, considering the story twist and the way it turned out that mono was thin man, not only is he trying to save his younger self, but also the entire world from the tower’s influence and the terrible broadcast that corrupted it... It would then make sense that, when he catches Mono, he doesn’t actually kill or harm him physically, he just stops him from going further and make the time loop again... That were some theories I came up with, sorry for my bad English, I’m not a native speaker...

One thing I need to let everyone know (including Mike) is that the Little Nightmares ended its journey with Tarsier Studies.

[@bluenoz]

I think that is more of a business decision, Tarsier said that because their parent company want them to focus on their own IP, which make sense business wise, but I think their original vision was not ending with LN2 as they have introduce many new concept for the world building

Art books are good but it’s too bad no one uses the ideas from like ratchet and clank’s museum level.

[@KvngLeroy1]

I don't think he is even alive, hear me out. When you hear the song that plays when Mono transforms at the end static plays, im guessing the Eyeball entity is sending Mono back in time using his own powers. It uses the remaining bit of his powers to create the the thin man which is basically Mono if he grew up. It would make sense because The thin man looks like a hologram and not an actual person, notice how his movements are glitchy

[@Neph1944]

Do u consider mono a monster?

[@nathaneilfabian4414]

Well he is tall asf and your typical shady looking guy down an alleyway so he isn't exactly not scary either

[@theoscout9205]

He bends in all unnatural ways like an advertising balloon, so I don't know about that. But I've seen contortionists do bends that are even wilder! The lady's true face isn't really her true face, she's just reflected like that in the mirrors. You can tell by the neck. But she definitely is a monster. My theory as to why Mono looks more normal than most others is that he was using his powers to resist the influence of the tower, as a result it made him permanently weaker but he didn't end up losing as much as everyone else, even though it severely altered him. Being thin can also mean you're starving, so maybe Mono was starved of power during his transformation? IMO thin man sounds like a lame name, so there must be a deeper meaning to it-

[@SzaraWilk]

It's because they're both are similar to the seven deadly sins. Six is too gluttonous and can't satiate her hunger, relating to her sadistic nature. Mono represents pride. His younger self cares too much about Six and stops his older self from saving him from his self-fulfilling prophecy.
