Here's a thought: the first comics were discontinued, but we don't know for a fact if they were de-canonized. We only have this phrase from interview to prove it: "I think we alluded to this in the second comic. Children's memories aren't always reliable, but then...neither are narrators". However, it also leaves the possibility that the comics are canon, just the children's stories aren't entirely true. It could explain some inconsistencies, like the fact the children of the second comic issue don't believe monsters exist, wear good clothes more fitting for the Counties, yet encounter inhabitants of the Nowhere. Since the Sounds of Nightmares makes it a fact the Nowhere messes with memories, the children near the fire could have mixed up their memories of the Counties and LN world. While there are certainly reasons to believe the comics might not be canon, I think we should consider the possibility they are until confirmed otherwise
The thought that the ferryman can travel between worlds is fascunating, given me the idea of him visiting the children during sleep paralysis, which is like being awake while being asleep, something that i think also happened in chapter 6 of the sounds of nightmares when Noone said she was asleep and awake at the same time.
What an excellent concept that would be! A fantastic way of incorporating The Ferryman's presence in the real world, maybe he's what people identify as a sleep paralysis demon? 👁️🗨️🛶
That’s cool. There’s also the Greek god of nightmares and a Greek god of dreams. I know little nightmares isn’t Greek themed of anything but your comment reminded me of them. Like what if the ferry man could symbolize the River Styx. The kids are in the Maw where they will die.
Is anyone noticing Noone from The Sound of Nightmares is likely wearing pigtails? Even on the title card you can see the hands obscuring extra hair from Noone's head? Why wouldn't the rest of her hair be that length and why pull at those hairs in particular if not pigtails? I think it's Alone. Low could also very well be the Fairyman too. In Native American mythology Ravens are spirit guides. Low's mask resembles the ravens or crows through out the game. Low also has a map. He's a guide.
I have this theory. The Ferryman takes the children from the awakened world (The Counties) and leads them to a realm of the Neverworld (Nowehere?) formed by a representation of their fears. There, they can become powerful entities and stop being little ones at the mercy of a cruel world. How? By defeating the menace (or menaces) that represents their nightmares. Of course, this does not always go as is intended, but, at least, the children the Ferryman chooses have a chance they wouldn't have in the “real” world. It would be a metaphor for becoming stronger by facing your fears, and the Ferryman a metaphor of pain that carries you to a journey you must endure to grow bigger and more mature (if you succeed).
14:14 You can also find portraits of the mirror man in the Hunters cabin in LN2 btw! I find it very peculiar, especially since also, any mirror you find in his cabin are all broken, and I wonder if both characters have some sort of connection, or some sort of encounter with each other. It is also noted that in some portrait depicting the mirror man, he seems to be wearing the same sack on his head that the hunter does. Also, there is a picture behind the door in witch you come out of before going into his basement of a man with black hair and deformed face, whom also has the same signature blue bow-tie that the mirror man wears. Said portrait can be found in the school twice, the hunters cabin twice, and twice on the maw. Hmmm...
Very interesting indeed 👁️🗨️ it could be possible that the mirror man is SO formidable that even the adults in The Nowhere are afraid of him? Perhaps he's the reason they end up disproportionate and malformed once they travel to The Nowhere? Thought provoking indeed, thanks a lot for your kind words and your intriguing comment!
That’s an interesting idea you had there, but I don’t think we have actual confirmation that adults can become residents. The Ferryman said something cryptic about paying a toll to cross over, but didn’t give any specifics on what the toll is or what (if anything) will happen to an adult who enters the Nowhere. It’s definitely a possibility, but we won’t know for sure until we get an actual concrete answer rather than just the Ferryman’s cryptic speech
ikr, I legit can't believe this guy isn't breakin youtube rn! 🤯little nightmares is so many peoples favourite thing to theorise and this guy takes it to another level!

I love when Gemini says "If we're right about this!", because I truly think its highly likely that he is, little nightmares 3 would be amazing if his theories turn out to be true
youre doing so good at this it reminds me of when LN2 just came out and i was watching people like Itsjustjord, tericho, and SuperHorrorBro you bring back good memories. Good job man love the videos
omg DR NO! I can't believe it! I forgot all about Dr No! I can't believe you got to talk to Kester Lovelace! You DID both blow my mind AND make me think! I LOVE these theories! 💖💖
About the theory about a kid or someone to lose the will to live in order to really die in the nightmare realm, I wondered, so the Runaway Kid actually died by the ending of the DLC? Or did he woke up after that and continued from another checkpoint? Maybe he couldn't get back becuase of his physical transformation and whatever the Lady's magic took from him (maybe his human soul or essence as he turned into a creature from the Nowhere), becuase some deaths in Little Nightmares can have the body squashed, squished, seriously hit and smashed, drowned, even shot at, and they could wake up and return next night. Or maybe he finally lost it (the will to live) when experiencing the horror of being eatean alive, with no one to rescue him as much as he screamed, after just wanting to do something good but getting such agony in return, could he have had enough at that point, seeing the horrors of his life pass by his eyes, alongside some tid bits of happy moments and ceasing struggle after a bite. (Grim, I know, I hadn't thought of it until now >_
Great theory as always, I have alot of thoughts, so please allow me to rant. I think the evidence for the North wind appearing in the game is very strong. You know, I never did belive the mirror in the trailers were hinting at the mirror man from the comics, like many others have belived, as the mirror man was one of the least important characters from the comic, I've seen way more fanart/theories/just general discussion of the ferryman and the birth wind than I have of the mirror man. So bringing him back, seems weird, especially as the main villan which the trailer seems to imply. But if the north wind is here, and the ferryman is here (which seems likely from "The Sound Of Nightmares") then it makes sense to bring the mirror man as well, like the game is taking everything from the comics. In fact, here's a little theory, what if like in the second game, how we can find the shadow kids, in this game, we can find remains of the kids from the comics (yes, in the comic they survived, but that aren't canon anymore, I doubt we will be able to see them alive, as if they were they would probaly team up with us, and I don't think that'd happen.) But what about the other areas that didn't appear in the comics you may ask, like the carnival? Simple, since the comics were discontinued, not every child got to tell their story, what it the other areas in this game are tied to those children. I think this would be a great idea! Making pretty much an adaptation of the comics in a game, and finished what was once cancelled, it would be really satisfying to long term fans, without isolating new fans, as this this is more an adaptation of the comics, with zero prior knowledge required. Don't have much to say about Dr No/otto. Just want to point out, I think the connection between Otto, Dr No, the other Tarsier game's doctor and the film is really strong. About six appearing in this game, I think it is likely. As someone who saw that video before it gotten down, it really does look like six in the mirror (he shows a bit more in the video) and it would make sence narritavly. Six is pretty much the main character of the little nightmares universe, even if we don't play as her all the time. An example of this would be William Afton from FNaF, we never play as him in the games but pretty much every game ties to him in some way and the entire story revolves around him. Same with Six, the run away kid dies in the first game, and is treated more like a side character, six is the main character in the first comics, in the second batch of comics, most of the stories where there to hype up the game, with only 2 really having lore significance. That creptic one with mono, which people still haven't figured out, and the one that shows how six ended up in the hunters house. In very little nightmares, six is the one who survives that game. (unless your theory is correct, but even then my point still stands) And the big rake away from that gane is how six got her raincoat. Even with little nightmares 2, six is the one that goes through an arc in that game, six is the one that leaves a diffrent person, six is the one who causes mono to become the thin man. Abd then she moves on, whike mobo is stick there, forever. The story revolves around her, she is the "Little Nightmare" so having her absent would seen wrong. I do think one day she'll appear as the main villan, but in this game? I dunno, I think they'd maybe hype it up a bit more, you know, showing Six upfront in the trailer as having her be the main villan is something people have wanted for a long time, but at the same time maybe they wanna keep her a secret. At the very least I think she'll make some kind of an appearance. I wanna point out,you said the lady might make an appearance, even though she died, due to the time look. I wanna clarify a little misunderstanding, the only character in a time look is mono, cause he is trapped in the signal tower, where time and space does not exist, everything outside the tower flowers as normal. The only way we could see her again is if this game is a prequel, which could be possible. Alot of people have pointed out how some areas in the trailer look like the Maw, but we could also see it after her death. I mean, I was just talking about six, maybe we'll see her there after the first game, as we never see her get rescused. Or this could take many years in the future and see an adult six running the maw, where she might be the main villan. (This has been a long running theory in the fandom for a while of six taking the place of the lady, I personally don't think it's that likely, but still possible.) Anyway, sorry for this long ass message, I'm just really exited for this game. I doubt you'll read all this, but if you do, keep it up, your doing a great job!
Always nice to read a theory with such detail and thank you for addressing a few notions such as Mono being stuck in a time loop but that loop existing outside of other characters timelines :) That certainly changes my outlook on a few theories and I'll be sure to consider it in upcoming theories! As for Six, I would love to see her, but I agree that if she's going to be the biggest bad of all, then there will need to be a lot more build-up surrounding her appearance. But who knows? :) 👁️🗨️ Time will tell... maybe?
I really loved this as I love the Little Nightmares series, lots of interesting theories for the upcoming game I honestly cant wait until it is released. 😎
@@Gemini540 I love your optimism.❤ After a dev said that you would not need to play any of the previous games to get into this game, my heart sank. But there's always a chance for it to be an easter egg, or even a little nod. 🙏
Whenever I see this man’s face I’m like so excited I am trying to not watch the demo for ln3, I’ve only see a small clip. So like if anything includes that I may not be involved, mainly cause I want most of it too be a surprise when it comes out. But I will try too see as much as possible. I’m not the only one doing this. When clips do show up I will just cover the screen. Lol I just can’t miss a theory
Just thinking about these theories and thoughts on how LN3 could be, just gets me really excited for the release of this game, this has been my dream for another LN game and we know it's close to releasing next year. :D
This reminds me of an old theory I had when the first game came out but what if the maw was at first a sanctuary but in true little nightmares fashion it got twisted into what it is today?
@@Gemini540 it’s funny cause there’s places in the maw that are places too small for the residents too fit in like that room you enter after six eats the gnome
I dont believe the ferryman theroy of one of the characters are low or alone because of the utter weird shock of like your playing the game with your friend and then suddenly its revealed you are the ferryman the entire time but it could be done in another way.
Dr.no sare similiar features to the Mirror Man, wich his relation to mirrors remind me how Otto show the party to Noone, through reflecting glass (wich is more assciated with the WaxBelleMan) and the way his Skin/Brain Tendrils are pointing upward in V.L.N, make me think of the legend of the clouds being created the brain/other parts of primordial being body?...
There could certainly be some hidden links that we don't know about just yet! I do like the idea of The Mirror Man being a spectral or deity of some description, perhaps his true form is that of a cosmic, eldritch horror with an imperceptible form? 👁️🗨️
whats up?? he indeed could be an looming entity, each part of him is connected tp another aspect of one/few domains in the spirals, give it sentiant while see and act through it... also, i have another thing about the "gorgo-eyes" - there is the trolls, an anciant term form vast-variety of supernatural beings of nature. they said to be big and small (nomes, six), disfigured (guests) and looking kinda like us (the lady) and many of them have weakness to light, and they turn to stone if came in contact - what if the petrified victims of the giant baby, are similiar to the troll/fae(german)/shii (scottland)? a lower, citizen/peasant status in the hierarchy of this supernatural world, suffer from unusual DNA disorder/something else?
so who is truly petrifying them? the lady are surely to control the eyes... is it inspired by the evil eye of witches/spirits and the world-wide gorgoneion, or its more like thor or perun, who is said to shoot lightnings on giants and other beings that threaten society...
11:38 oh I’ve seen the theory with that before, saying that six may be in a mirror. That warped my idea of ln3, I’m sure now six will be in ln3, before I thought she wouldnt. I mean she’s in everything, she’s the main character she has to be. Maybe the ferryman takes children at certain times. Mostly in dreams, but like mono and cece/ maybe the raincoat girl They aren’t wearing Pjs Six- who I recon is noone, wearing what six wears in vln, which I believe VLN is the start of the lore. Wears white shorts and shirt, seems like something noone can wear. Plus we know what happened when she was taken. Then the runaway kid is a blue shirt and black trousers which seems like some pjs Same as the flashlight girl who wears a white dress BUT as you said in the other theory could be the raincoat girl. Too add to the idea of being taken, we have the Kid in the red scarf who wears shoes, turquoise boots. Thye have a large brown coat and a turquoise ushanka (Srry for the misspelling of the hat). They definitely wasn’t asleep in that. Edit: I rlly thought I spelt ushanka wrong 😭
Absolutely, the more I think about it, the more I believe that there is more than one way to access The Nowhere 👁️🗨️ Not always through sleeping, perhaps?
About the potential connection between Dr. Ingen and Dr. No, I think it's worth pointing out that in Swedish, and I say Swedish because Tarsier is a Swedish company, the word "ingen" translates to "no" Just putting it out there
You are absolutely right! 👁️🗨️Thank you very much for your comment, you have opened my eyes to yet another link between my theory and what we can expect from Little Nightmares 3
There does seem to be a hierarchy of some type in the nowhere, makes you wonder if it's a mad max sort of thing, survival of the fittest? or if they actually answer to some higher being? love these theories by the way gemini, i hope we get some confirmation in little nightmares3
New thing I just noticed. I have no idea what’ll lead to this theory but guess what I found… Look at the first chapter of the Little Nightmares comics. Chapter 1: Part 2: Page 3: In the lower right hand corner you can see something snagged on branch. IT’S LOW’S MASK! This may debunk my theory of Low being nonexistent but it may also say that the 3rd game is not a sequel nor a prequel. Not even a midquel or interquel, not even a threequel. But possibly… A paraquel. A paraquel is a set of a events that go on at the same time, just not in the same reality or setting. I have to believe that Low and Alone are time travelers. I’ve said before that the same broken mirrors that Low goes through are seen throughout the Maw multiple time. Heck, even one of the leaked images of LN3 looks exactly like stairs of the maw. If I were to theorize the layout of the new game, it would be: C#1. The Office C#2: The Necropolis C#3: The Circus C#4: The Factory C#5: The Memorabilia And all of them would be a travel through time. I also found something else. The back of the LN3 dvds and release dates set on them. The back of the DVDS aren’t much but I will provide a link here. (And I’m pretty sure that sadly the release was December 27th, 2024. Anyways, here’s the link! : ifantasybox.com/products/little-nightmares-iii-dayone-edition-steelbook-fantasybox
The release date is disappointing but I suppose we will be drip fed some interesting little lore droplets as the day draws closer! :) You have some really interesting thoughts and there's so much to consider here! I may have to look into this some more... what do you think? 🤔
@@Gemini540 Thank you so much for replying! All I ask is to check the comics so you can see I’m right about the Low mask thing. Btw, the date wasn’t seen on that cite, I just saw that date on one of the pre-order dvds and saw that date. I’m not entirely sure.
I honestly don’t know if Doctor No will ever actually come up again. There were lots of portraits of odd throwaway characters throughout the LN games, and I don’t know what would make Doctor No any different from the rest of those. Though I do think it’s weird that Doctor No seems to be the only portrait exclusive character that someone found a name for in the files. Edit: I don’t think it’s been actually confirmed that adults can become residents. The Ferryman said something really cryptic about paying a some kind of price to cross over, but nothing about residents specifically.
You're right that The Ferryman only hinted at the notion of adults becoming residents and we don't know for certain that they become corrupted by The Nowhere at all, perhaps this is where The Mirror Man comes in? As we know he can distort peoples physical bodies through their reflections 👁️🗨️🪞 It's also true that it's unlikely that any of these random background images have any real significance to them at all, but it's fun to think about!
@@Gemini540 It is fun to think about the paintings (I think most if not all of them are recycled from concept art). And I really do wonder what they’ll do with the Mirror monster and the North Wind and if they’ll return like the Ferryman, considering the changes in the lore. I’m also curious if we’ll ever really learn about what exactly the residents are, I feel like they’re ultimately still a mystery.
@@Gemini540 Now that’s the real question haha… they might be both canon but with two different point of views of the same ending. Or only one could be canon we don’t know (we don’t even know if we’ll have two different endings so this is just pure speculation)
I've never played Little Nightmare's however as a big Loresman, this pleases me greatly. A lot of Greek Mythology Influence which is *chefs kiss*. I need to up my knowledge of Little Nightmare's so I can properly contribute.
Personally Drew, I would LOVE to see you play through the Little Nightmares series 👁️🗨️ They're so lore rich that I've been drowning in it for 4 years and they haven't released a game in 2 🤣
What if? It’ll be like little nightmare, games and then we’ll have the big boss and then we will get to see like what if like that was all a dream but different dreams and stuff but like games.
About the Joshua Chang video I watched all of it and the quality of six in the mirror was far more good than the image you have in this video. I firmly believe we will have to save six from shadow six or the mirror man based on how much it looks like six
So sick of seeing majority of theory makers saying that the comics aren’t cannon because it’s simply not true. The comics were never deemed not cannon. It was just an assumption that was made. The comics are 100% cannon. It’s just stated by one of the creators (in an interview if I remember correctly) that the words of children and narrators are not always reliable. Edit: Please go watch “The Cannon of Little Nightmares Explained” by Indie Explorer

That creptic one with mono, which people still haven't figured out, and the one that shows how six ended up in the hunters house. In very little nightmares, six is the one who survives that game. (unless your theory is correct, but even then my point still stands) And the big rake away from that gane is how six got her raincoat. Even with little nightmares 2, six is the one that goes through an arc in that game, six is the one that leaves a diffrent person, six is the one who causes mono to become the thin man. Abd then she moves on, whike mobo is stick there, forever.
The story revolves around her, she is the "Little Nightmare" so having her absent would seen wrong. I do think one day she'll appear as the main villan, but in this game? I dunno, I think they'd maybe hype it up a bit more, you know, showing Six upfront in the trailer as having her be the main villan is something people have wanted for a long time, but at the same time maybe they wanna keep her a secret. At the very least I think she'll make some kind of an appearance.
I wanna point out,you said the lady might make an appearance, even though she died, due to the time look. I wanna clarify a little misunderstanding, the only character in a time look is mono, cause he is trapped in the signal tower, where time and space does not exist, everything outside the tower flowers as normal. The only way we could see her again is if this game is a prequel, which could be possible. Alot of people have pointed out how some areas in the trailer look like the Maw, but we could also see it after her death. I mean, I was just talking about six, maybe we'll see her there after the first game, as we never see her get rescused. Or this could take many years in the future and see an adult six running the maw, where she might be the main villan. (This has been a long running theory in the fandom for a while of six taking the place of the lady, I personally don't think it's that likely, but still possible.)
Anyway, sorry for this long ass message, I'm just really exited for this game. I doubt you'll read all this, but if you do, keep it up, your doing a great job!
Always nice to read a theory with such detail and thank you for addressing a few notions such as Mono being stuck in a time loop but that loop existing outside of other characters timelines :) That certainly changes my outlook on a few theories and I'll be sure to consider it in upcoming theories!
As for Six, I would love to see her, but I agree that if she's going to be the biggest bad of all, then there will need to be a lot more build-up surrounding her appearance.
But who knows? :) 👁️🗨️ Time will tell... maybe?
Well I wasn't expecting the surprise Dr No theory but wow... excellent!
welp, it's official: this is a little nightmares channel now.
also, with all this rich, rich lore, you really think supermassive do it justice?
I really loved this as I love the Little Nightmares series, lots of interesting theories for the upcoming game I honestly cant wait until it is released. 😎
same, his theories totally blow my mind
me tooo!
Likewise! Thank you very much for your kind words, we truly appreciate it 👁️🗨️
I'm literally obsessed with these now! 🙈
I would love nothing more than to see Mono again, but I know they wont, and it still hurts.
💔 Indeed, but never say never... 👁️🗨️ Some people gave up hope of ever seeing Little Nightmares 3, yet here we all are...
@@Gemini540 I love your optimism.❤
After a dev said that you would not need to play any of the previous games to get into this game, my heart sank. But there's always a chance for it to be an easter egg, or even a little nod. 🙏
18:10 Yeah, and that certainly also fits in with one of the inspirations for Little Nightmares, the Studio Ghibli movie, Spirited Away
You are legit breaking my brain, can't wait for Little Nightmares 3 to come out so we can have answers
Likewise my friend, likewise 👁️🗨️
How did I forget about DR NO also thanks for including my theory
Oh hey its you! :) I liked your theory!
@@lucyfurr764Thanks
You're welcome, it was an interesting theory 👁️🗨️ We appreciate your contribution, little one... 👁️🗨️
Whenever I see this man’s face I’m like so excited
I am trying to not watch the demo for ln3, I’ve only see a small clip.
So like if anything includes that I may not be involved, mainly cause I want most of it too be a surprise when it comes out.
But I will try too see as much as possible. I’m not the only one doing this. When clips do show up I will just cover the screen. Lol
I just can’t miss a theory
omg me too! 😍🤩 I get way too excited when he uploads a little nightmares video!
Same!! 🤩
I was excited until I realized it was a different company making little nightmares 3. Now, I'm keeping my expectations low.
I agree that it is wise to temper your expectations, that way you can be pleasantly surprised when the final product is finally revealed to us 👁️🗨️
Just thinking about these theories and thoughts on how LN3 could be, just gets me really excited for the release of this game, this has been my dream for another LN game and we know it's close to releasing next year. :D
I can still hardly believe this is happening! I love these theory videos!
Most likely mid 2024
So true, I can hardly contain myself at this point 👁️🗨️
20:14 When they go permanently to Nowhere, to their dreams, they no longer have a body to wake them up. It's definitely interesting
This reminds me of an old theory I had when the first game came out but what if the maw was at first a sanctuary but in true little nightmares fashion it got twisted into what it is today?
It is stated in the earlier games that The Maw is the only place that makes sense in a world gone mad, perhaps once upon a time... it did? 👁️🗨️
@@Gemini540 it’s funny cause there’s places in the maw that are places too small for the residents too fit in like that room you enter after six eats the gnome
I always thought they were meant for nomes because nomes were supposed to be enslaved or something :) i could be wrong though!@@sonicfighter64
@@kimmystars3797 maybe
Im hoping we get to meet characters we've seen in the previous games, it would be nice to see
Couldn't agree more, little one... 👁️🗨️
I dont believe the ferryman theroy of one of the characters are low or alone because of the utter weird shock of like your playing the game with your friend and then suddenly its revealed you are the ferryman the entire time but it could be done in another way.
Awesome video man, I really enjoyed it!
All I want to see is the nomes makes a comeback so I can give them hugs! also why is Six hiding behind your chair?!? 🤣
So that she doesn't get eaten! 👁️🗨️
Dr.no sare similiar features to the Mirror Man, wich his relation to mirrors remind me how Otto show the party to Noone, through reflecting glass (wich is more assciated with the WaxBelleMan) and the way his Skin/Brain Tendrils are pointing upward in V.L.N, make me think of the legend of the clouds being created the brain/other parts of primordial being body?...
There could certainly be some hidden links that we don't know about just yet! I do like the idea of The Mirror Man being a spectral or deity of some description, perhaps his true form is that of a cosmic, eldritch horror with an imperceptible form? 👁️🗨️
whats up?? he indeed could be an looming entity, each part of him is connected tp another aspect of one/few domains in the spirals, give it sentiant while see and act through it... also, i have another thing about the "gorgo-eyes" - there is the trolls, an anciant term form vast-variety of supernatural beings of nature.
they said to be big and small (nomes, six), disfigured (guests) and looking kinda like us (the lady) and many of them have weakness to light, and they turn to stone if came in contact - what if the petrified victims of the giant baby, are similiar to the troll/fae(german)/shii (scottland)? a lower, citizen/peasant status in the hierarchy of this supernatural world, suffer from unusual DNA disorder/something else?
so who is truly petrifying them? the lady are surely to control the eyes... is it inspired by the evil eye of witches/spirits and the world-wide gorgoneion, or its more like thor or perun, who is said to shoot lightnings on giants and other beings that threaten society...
11:38 oh I’ve seen the theory with that before, saying that six may be in a mirror.
That warped my idea of ln3,
I’m sure now six will be in ln3, before I thought she wouldnt. I mean she’s in everything, she’s the main character she has to be.
Maybe the ferryman takes children at certain times.
Mostly in dreams, but like mono and cece/ maybe the raincoat girl
They aren’t wearing Pjs
Six- who I recon is noone, wearing what six wears in vln, which I believe VLN is the start of the lore. Wears white shorts and shirt, seems like something noone can wear. Plus we know what happened when she was taken.
Then the runaway kid is a blue shirt and black trousers which seems like some pjs
Same as the flashlight girl who wears a white dress BUT as you said in the other theory could be the raincoat girl.
Too add to the idea of being taken, we have the Kid in the red scarf who wears shoes, turquoise boots. Thye have a large brown coat and a turquoise ushanka (Srry for the misspelling of the hat). They definitely wasn’t asleep in that.
Edit: I rlly thought I spelt ushanka wrong 😭
Nice
Absolutely, the more I think about it, the more I believe that there is more than one way to access The Nowhere 👁️🗨️ Not always through sleeping, perhaps?
About the potential connection between Dr. Ingen and Dr. No, I think it's worth pointing out that in Swedish, and I say Swedish because Tarsier is a Swedish company, the word "ingen" translates to "no"
Just putting it out there
You are absolutely right! 👁️🗨️Thank you very much for your comment, you have opened my eyes to yet another link between my theory and what we can expect from Little Nightmares 3
Oh cool! I found the comment! :D you were featured in the new video! I never knew that about dr no!
There does seem to be a hierarchy of some type in the nowhere, makes you wonder if it's a mad max sort of thing, survival of the fittest? or if they actually answer to some higher being?
love these theories by the way gemini, i hope we get some confirmation in little nightmares3
I'd be happy if any one of these turned out to be true, little nightmares 3 can't come quick enough, Bandai love teasing us
16:06 this is genial
Thank you very much, little one 👁️🗨️
I have reasons to speculate that The Lady is Otto's sister
A very interesting thought my friend! Could be worth some exploring, it certainly would tie things up neatly wouldn't it? 👁️🗨️
That would be so cool if it's true!
New thing I just noticed. I have no idea what’ll lead to this theory but guess what I found…
Look at the first chapter of the Little Nightmares comics.
Chapter 1: Part 2: Page 3:
In the lower right hand corner you can see something snagged on branch. IT’S LOW’S MASK!
This may debunk my theory of Low being nonexistent but it may also say that the 3rd game is not a sequel nor a prequel. Not even a midquel or interquel, not even a threequel. But possibly… A paraquel. A paraquel is a set of a events that go on at the same time, just not in the same reality or setting. I have to believe that Low and Alone are time travelers. I’ve said before that the same broken mirrors that Low goes through are seen throughout the Maw multiple time. Heck, even one of the leaked images of LN3 looks exactly like stairs of the maw. If I were to theorize the layout of the new game, it would be:
C#1. The Office
C#2: The Necropolis
C#3: The Circus
C#4: The Factory
C#5: The Memorabilia
And all of them would be a travel through time. I also found something else. The back of the LN3 dvds and release dates set on them. The back of the DVDS aren’t much but I will provide a link here. (And I’m pretty sure that sadly the release was December 27th, 2024.
Anyways, here’s the link! :
ifantasybox.com/products/little-nightmares-iii-dayone-edition-steelbook-fantasybox
The release date is disappointing but I suppose we will be drip fed some interesting little lore droplets as the day draws closer! :)
You have some really interesting thoughts and there's so much to consider here! I may have to look into this some more... what do you think? 🤔
@@Gemini540 Thank you so much for replying! All I ask is to check the comics so you can see I’m right about the Low mask thing. Btw, the date wasn’t seen on that cite, I just saw that date on one of the pre-order dvds and saw that date. I’m not entirely sure.
@@Gemini540 I also have a couple more theories in stock once your next videos drop!
@@kathrynfrei1276where did you find this?
@@loverofyurigagarin1149find what
Everyone at school makes fun of me for liking little nightmares music but it’s good though
I honestly don’t know if Doctor No will ever actually come up again. There were lots of portraits of odd throwaway characters throughout the LN games, and I don’t know what would make Doctor No any different from the rest of those. Though I do think it’s weird that Doctor No seems to be the only portrait exclusive character that someone found a name for in the files.
Edit: I don’t think it’s been actually confirmed that adults can become residents. The Ferryman said something really cryptic about paying a some kind of price to cross over, but nothing about residents specifically.
You're right that The Ferryman only hinted at the notion of adults becoming residents and we don't know for certain that they become corrupted by The Nowhere at all, perhaps this is where The Mirror Man comes in? As we know he can distort peoples physical bodies through their reflections 👁️🗨️🪞
It's also true that it's unlikely that any of these random background images have any real significance to them at all, but it's fun to think about!
@@Gemini540 It is fun to think about the paintings (I think most if not all of them are recycled from concept art). And I really do wonder what they’ll do with the Mirror monster and the North Wind and if they’ll return like the Ferryman, considering the changes in the lore. I’m also curious if we’ll ever really learn about what exactly the residents are, I feel like they’re ultimately still a mystery.
I don’t know why but I feel that we will have two different endings : one with Alone and the other one with Low.
This could be interesting.. but which one would be canon? 👁️🗨️🤔
@@Gemini540 Now that’s the real question haha… they might be both canon but with two different point of views of the same ending. Or only one could be canon we don’t know (we don’t even know if we’ll have two different endings so this is just pure speculation)
I wish I could think of Little Nightmares theories but it just breaks my brain! :(
We need to see the ferryman in the third game, I think he’s too much of an important character not to be featured in any of the games
I couldn't agree more 👁️🗨️🛶
Bring it on
I still think low is the mirror man
At this point, anything is possible... 👁️🗨️ So he could be...
@@Gemini540 I mean if you concentrate his hair it looks like trees just like mirror man’s head tree stuff
What is Under The Chef’s Masks?
The mirror man share similiar clothes to Dr.No...
Ingen in swedish is translated to ”No one”. Thought that was a little cool
8:02 nah tarsier trying to see how many fans play their other games aren’t they
9:07 It kinda is similar tbh
From someone with a heavy british accent
I've never played Little Nightmare's however as a big Loresman, this pleases me greatly. A lot of Greek Mythology Influence which is *chefs kiss*. I need to up my knowledge of Little Nightmare's so I can properly contribute.
Personally Drew, I would LOVE to see you play through the Little Nightmares series 👁️🗨️ They're so lore rich that I've been drowning in it for 4 years and they haven't released a game in 2 🤣
Dr ingen is spelled exacly like the danish Word for nobody as ingen means nobody. So take that what ya will
What if? It’ll be like little nightmare, games and then we’ll have the big boss and then we will get to see like what if like that was all a dream but different dreams and stuff but like games.
About the Joshua Chang video I watched all of it and the quality of six in the mirror was far more good than the image you have in this video. I firmly believe we will have to save six from shadow six or the mirror man based on how much it looks like six
That could be a really intriguing way to involve Six in the new game 👁️🗨️I really hope we get to see Six in Little Nightmares 3
Do you know what I just noticed you all like six mono stuff they all have powers
So sick of seeing majority of theory makers saying that the comics aren’t cannon because it’s simply not true. The comics were never deemed not cannon. It was just an assumption that was made. The comics are 100% cannon. It’s just stated by one of the creators (in an interview if I remember correctly) that the words of children and narrators are not always reliable.
Edit: Please go watch “The Cannon of Little Nightmares Explained” by Indie Explorer
Why not the thin man aka tv traveler guy aka mono
