The Sounds of Nightmares - Chapter 1: The Workers in the Walls

[@Brydav_Massbear]

What I find interesting about this is that it flips the entire genre of Little Nightmares on its head. Usually, it portrays its story with great visuals and no words. This is the opposite.

I’m really hoping that Little Nightmares really aren’t dreams at all and that Noone’s nightmares are actually real and she has some sort of connection to travel to this other world in her sleep rather than the entire franchise being one big dream and Six is just some average kid in the real world. Maybe in LN3 the characters could travel to the real world or something and meet Noone. Also, I would like to speak to the parents about why they named their kid Noone.

[@empanado8304]

they didnt name their kid noone, thats a nickname she gave herself. the doctor said so at the start

[@UmisTsukishiro00]

I like to believe it’s a mix of both. Some evil entity brings dreaming kids into its nightmare world, and those who go too deep have the most trouble waking up. Six and Mono would be such unlucky kids.

[@SpectrumSwordtails]

What if it's not just NoOne? I mean it probably started out with her. But then what if it's every child in the mental hospital somehow got infected by whatever she has, causing for them to somehow found a way to travel to another world in their sleep. A world that has been warped beyond imagining.

I think that's nickname that has been given to her, cuz they found her randomly on the streets lol

I'm more scared of the woman's voice that announces it than the story.

As much as I love the games, it's stuff like this that makes this series my absolute favorite. The games are just a part of the experience while the story is told through many different mediums all while keeping a layer of mystery for us to make our own conclusions which adds to the nature of interpreting dreams and nightmares. It rules.

[@cosmicXtropics]

THEORY TIME: Okay, maybe I'm not the only one but I imagined Auto as the Thin Man and Noon as Six the whole time. Noon and Six both woke up in a strange place, sound almost exactly alike (grunt wise), and also befriend beings that guide her. “Noon” and “six” on a clock face are also adjacent to one another (peculiar since they describe scaling a clock tower). Perhaps this “CiCi” Auto speaks of is actually Six and this new girl is someone else entirely? Auto however is very mysterious just like Thin Man yet both have a solid fascination for “traversing through space-time” (one actually performing it and the other having a physical illusion painting). To further cement the theory, Auto names his patients after numbers according to his video log, although Noon isn't the 12th patient, Noon and Six are both number names - coincidence??? The place Noon describes also sounds very similar to the Maw and that's vital, although the Maw is a place, it has pronounced features that characterize it more like a creature. The many “interconnected rooms” “unnoticed workers” “gears” and “noises” are more than enough to connect the two. The “rotten meat smell” was a dead giveaway to me also! She then describes children like figures that scurry about which reminded me of Nomes especially ones that operated the furnace in the DLC. The woman in charge with the dress is undoubtedly a reference to The Lady, especially with her “skin tied back” “black eyes/smile” and the humming which started during her part…. So far this is an amazing start to the audio series and has completely invested me back into the LN world and lore. So pumped for LN3!!!

And those glass jars he was next to, maybe a hint for the LN3, eh? BUT the big thing is that the world of the LN is separate from their (or our) world, and somehow, noon (who doesn't seem to be a child, ether being a tween or young teen) got there. What does this say of mono and six? And the other children? Maybe nothing, maybe everything. The nun (thier might be others like her) is what I'll call this master of the stone giant (a gaint clock prison), a torturer, maybe? Discipline officer?

[@UUhm_1dk]

Man u were spot on

[@oscarkageson-loe]

For this chapter (I’m writing everything important in a notebook) I believe that the nightmare takes place in the school. This is because of the woman in the courtyard and the children who look like shadows, the fake children are all suffering from working from the looks of it, plus the child that helps Noone escape could be Mono or The runaway kid. Another interesting theory is that this story could possibly take place in our world as Otto explains that painting is a representation of time and space, this could explain the signal tower and the world that Little nightmares takes place in. The characters we are playing as are having a nightmare because the tower is the being that’s making them experience this. It would also explain why we don’t see anyone caring for them and where all the adults are tall and monstrous, this world that we are seeing is a nightmare world.

[@speed0291]

Heres my theory on what's happening here. *First off, important information:* The Little Girl's name = Noon (Kinda sounds like Nine.) The Counsellor's name = Otto/Auto. (Otto sounds like "Octo" which is greek for eight.) I believe these are new characters being introduced, and not the old ones we've met, i could be wrong, through. The Workers = Nomes? The Lady = No Idea. CiCi = No idea, but otto seems to know them and talk of them as if they were related. *The Story:* From what i've understood, this story in specific is about how Noon is capable of accessing another reality whilst she sleeps, this isn't exactly the act of dreaming, but moreover the act of transporting one's self to this alternative reality, "Nowhere." (?) is what this place is called. Noon's description of her nightmare reminds me heavily of The Maw in the first game, Noon might've been transported there. what about noon's friend, that decided to help her? I have no idea. Through they did seem to be more aware of what was going on around them than noon. Most likely another kid with the special ability that Otto calls "Mutual Dreaming" Mutual dreaming seems to be something Otto and his collegues are trying to understand. Otto states as an indication of that ability being present: *"Your perception of temperature, and smell while dreaming is sometimes thought to be an indicator of this trans-personal phenomenon."* i believe the Counties Psychiatric Institute might have one of it's goals being to try and understand what is the source of this alternate reality, how do you access it, how do you leave it, what cause it? I wonder if the map Otto has in his office will be of any importance to this. Noon by the end states they don't want to sleep, and Otto allows her to pick a Candy of choice, most likely to put Noon to sleep (Since it was stated by otto that it's night time.) *Conclusion:* What i find to be the most interesting part of this, is that Noon isn't the only one with this "Nightmare disorder" which heavily implies that this is not just some random dream. but rather, something moreover sinister and curious, a entrance to another world. Im guessing there must be some sort of eldritch entity, or entities behind these transportations. This also makes me wonder.. what about Mono? it was stated he is on a Endless Journey, a unique case, and it seems like he's forever stuck on a loop of betrayal, unable to return to our world, is he perhaps, on some sort of dimensional coma?

[@AllAboard445]

THEORY TIME!! So, if Noone means no one, and we know the setting of the new game takes place in a realm called “The Nowhere” I think we can assume this game will take place within Noone’s nightmares. The stone giant mentioned here seems to have a lot in common with the giant baby doll in the trailer. I wonder if we’ll be able to go inside it and see the workers and the Chain Lady in LN3. The workers remind me of the Viewers from LN2, with their lack of faces and hive-mind-like behavior. Maybe this Stone Giant character is somehow the embodiment of the Signal Tower with the workers actually being claimed Pale City residents, now helping the Tower claim even more victims. As for the tortured souls within, my guess is that those are the previous inhabitants of Necropolis that we see have been made stone by the baby. Perhaps they must undergo some kind of torture before they too will become workers. The friend of Noone here is a tricky one to theorize on due to the lack of general detail. I will say that it might be Six because that’s the only character in the games that has some kind of gender-confusion (seriously NAMCO, is Six a girl or non-binary?). Though the grunt we hear in this podcast when Noone’s friend is caught by the Chain Lady sounds sort of like Mono. Edit: Sorry, Six isn’t actually non-binary, so this part of the comment is probably unlikely, especially with what we learn towards the end of this chapter about mutual dreaming. Thank you, repliers. The last thing I have to say is that I might be completely wrong and that every character here is brand new and has never been seen before. While I would appreciate seeing a horror game bring in new characters instead of refusing to let go of the old ones (*cough cough* FNAF), this podcast was made to help answer some of our questions about the world of LN, and I hope we see at least one or two familiar faces during the upcoming game. Edit: Oh yeah, also the man with the fishing hat is probably the Ferryman. Sorry, forgot that one. Nice to see him finally do something in this series.

@@AllAboard445the problem is probably that people assume “they” refers to exclusively non binary people for singular people when it doesn’t.

[@AllAboard445]

@@tezlatower2362 Ah, I see. Thank you for the clarification.

[@tezlatower2362]

@@AllAboard445 yeah. “They” can just refer to a person of unspecified gender. Jack didn’t know if Six was a girl so he just called her “they”. It’s surprising how many people don’t know about singular “they” on KZbin…

This is an amazing expansion to the franchise. I loved the writing and the sound design it offered such an immersive experience. This is such a unique view of the little nightmares universe with it being purely audio instead of visual. I can’t wait to listen to more👌

[@Peanuts76]

I have depression and probably comorbidity of mental disorder, how little nightmare's reminds me and taught me about how we try to face and function, metaphorically as child who try to live and surviving in such cruel and uncaring "society', i guess they take it further and making it as lore and great story, thank you again for the creator

[@AresStrieter]

From what i understand the signal tower (or whatever is the entity behind it) is "transporting" children in the Nowhere World when they are asleep. I wonder what happens to the children in the Real World when they die in the Nowhere World.

[@First_love_late_spring]

This has me thinking about mono too. If he is one of the sleeping children, he is currently stuck in a loop in the nightmare world so is in a coma now

[@DustyDDust]

at first i thought the nightmare idea was cheesy, but instead of it being “just a nightmare, nothing matters.” they describe it as mutual dreaming, meaning noone isnt the only one experiencing these. making it a lot more meaningful. they most likely mean something as well, so i actually kind of love the idea now lol, excited to see where it goes!

[@myriverrose]

Amazing voice acting. I love the use of background noises and overlayed audio to paint a story.

[@Castlevaniac1]

Nooo no no no. I really hope they don't go the route of there being a "real" world, and the little nightmares world is just some dream dimension. One intriguing thing about little nightmares for me is the whole aspect of how the world came to be in the state it's in, how everything functions. This would be ruined, if it was just a "dream world". Accepting the otherworldliness of little nightmares as the sole reality of this world is what makes it so eerie and special, IMHO

[@laterriusjackson3861]

[@thetiredworm2100]

I see where some are coming from saying they’d be upset if the world of Little Nightmares is just a dream land for these children in the mental ward and isn’t real, as that’s a very typical route for horror stories to go with and so far Little Nightmares has been a unique and refreshing storyline so that would suck a bit, but I really don’t think that’s what they’re getting at here.

[@yellowsmilieface]

I am so proud of Little Nightmares! You guys never gave up! I'm very happy for your success!

Cool nightmares but I have almost no idea how this world connects to Little Nightmares, and I'm scared of the games being "just dreams" now. I hope they have something up their sleeve

The “thing” inside Noone the woman hungered for, I wonder if it’s her fear?

[@mariachi9917]

[@rootiyk5032]

The Inventor woman sounds like a cool monster tbh

[@Skibbutz]

My Theory is that the World that little nightmares takes place in (apparently called "The Nowhere") is an alternative world either acessed by dreaming & possibly even CREATED by our nightmares. The only non-hostile entites found within the Nowhere are Children or beings derivative of them like the Gnomes. This leads me to believe that Human children are not Native to Nowhere, as they do not fit into the society Nowhere operates under, its why the Teacher teaches Dolls, its why everybody freaks out when Kids are present. Children are not a natural occurrence in this world, they're pests and delicacies to be gobbled up.

They should make a Little Nightmares movie. Dude, it’s not even funny. They should make a movie. Like, the MUSIC in it. The lore, everything. I played BOTH games, both 1 and 2. I got to both endings in each DLC’s. I am not joking, they should make a movie!

[@MollyDollyy774]

25:15 Scared of something you can't see, something nobody knows exists, that Noone relates to and that's why it scared her... I can relate... I sometimes feel like I don't exist... That's why I definitely believe I have Athazagoraphobia - the fear of being Forgotten, due to being Ignored for years... And being Isolated and Alone... Fearing losing Friend's or Future Partners, I want people Atuned to me, and understand I need someone with me and not leave me alone... I also have Scopophobia - fear of being Watched or Starred at, people think that's romantic, but I find it creepy, I don't want anyone starring at me... And... The last one... The most unrealistic one VORAREPHOBIA - The fear of being Eaten alive or Swallowed, I've had a nightmare years ago where I was in a Cage at a fancy Restaurant, honestly it was very like Little Nightmares I, but Instead of big fat Guests, the Guests where... Still fat... but Purple... And in Suits and Dresses, fancy stuff basically... I vaguely remember a Curtain behind me, and a Chef... A weird short one... With a butcher knife, needless to say I woke up before anything happened, but I got Stares in that dream... I always have weird scary dreams... And one more thing, the Ladies hum, I heard that somewhere before Little Nightmares ever existed... It sounds Familiar... Anyway sorry for my Rant, hope this was Interesting~ 25:42 _"Nothing bad Inside you"_ Relatable... From Truama... I... Lose control, and when I come back I don't Remember anythingz but I got Yelled at for doing something bad... Or told I was... Out of it, Quiet... It's scary...

In concept art for Little Nightmares II, there's a drawing showing the Thin Man sitting at a table with a lamp, writing some stuff on paper while a child sits in front of him. Many interpreted this image as Thin Man being a detective before the world warped... _but what if he was a counsellor?_
