It was really cool listening to this video for lore and then having it turn into a bit of a voiced fanfic!! Like it’s cute it makes my brain go brrr The one thing that was uncomfortable was maybe the ai generated images since ai does steal from artists to create an image and if those images weren’t ai I didn’t see any crediting for the art tho idk I might also be hella blind. The art just looks… how do I put it… uncanny to me. Like it takes similar art styles and tries to piece them together in an unnatural way. It’s not like an artist that spends time incorporating styles and techniques into their work. It’s sorta reminiscent of melted wax where you can see different candles but the place where they merge is still blurry. Idk maybe I’m overthinking and I’m crazy Other than that this was a really fun video :)
Nah you're right there was some AI stuff at the beginning. I worked on this in sections, and basically I finished the lore section first, ~2 or 3 months before the video came out. At the time, most ai companies were claiming that they license images from artists to train their programs, and this was around when I found out that most stock photo sites str8 up steal from artists, so ironically I went with ai as like a defiance against that kinda theft. I found out a few months later, not long before the vid came out, how they actually train those models, when an artist I'm working with on an original project lost his job. That got me doing more research. I went back and drew a few frames after that for moments when Noone is talking (all the black and white kinda messy sketches are things I did myself) but I would've had to delay about 2 more months to make hand drawings I could put over all the ai background images, and id already deleted the original recordings to save space, so I couldn't just take them out. In the end, I just kinda had to take the L on that one. TLDR I just didn't know when I made the vid, I won't be using it going forward though. And thanks I'm glad you liked the vid ^^
@@remdot no yeah it was a really fun video and funny enough some of the things that got in the way of it getting uploaded falls in line with the whole “fanfic author has disappeared for months and comes back saying that they got hit by a bus or went through a major life change” Although there might be a lot of things going on I hope you’re not burning yourself out!! I saw the Stray video and the way you talked about having more subscribers and how that affected how you make video can sometimes come back to bite you so be careful 👍✨
@@jaydinotjdoh hahah yeah there was a lot of that. I've mentioned in some other reply threads, whole weeks of reshooting and massive rewrites, but this was my first project of this scale so it turned out really well... Hopefully the next ones even better, now that I'm not just fumbling in the dark. And thanks, I'm mostly careful about stuff like that. In a few weeks though I'll be graduated, and then I'll start to relax a bit. Till then, I can find a way to cope. Also I'm gonna pin your original comment since it does a good job at explaining problems in ai, and my reply to it is the most comprehensive one I did, so that way people watching the vid can sorta quickly see my take on things and my direction goin forward. Thank you
@@remdotNot gonna lie this is such a relief to hear cuz I was seriously contemplating if I should even watch the video seeing the Ai generated stuff and I was about to leave a comment but I’m extremely glad your aware of how it’s problematic and I completely understand why you left those parts in.
My favorite part of the first game and the moment that drew me into the lore was when six pulled down her hoodie and said "It's nightmare time" and proceeded to have nightmares everywhere. Absolutely unreal.
It was a pretty great moment. I think my favorite though is when the runaway said "maybe the real little nightmares were the friends we made along the way"
btw one thing I've heard about the lady and that mirror scene in the DLC is that it isn't actually her face, it's just what nowhere makes her think she looks like as a sort of "punishment" or drawback from the ability to take souls / ownership of the Maw domain
One cool fact about the second game is when mono is being chased by the thin man you can hear this like screeching noise, and when you put a microphone to a speaker that its connected to it makes the same noise, signifying that they are the same person
It's called a feedback loop, right? I wonder if that's the reason Mono locks up in pain (and sort of mimicks his movements for a second) when the Thin Man first appears through the TV.
My dude, I came here searching for a copper, and found PURE GOLD. Love the Scorn video, love this one about Little Nightmares, now I'm going for the Stray one. Keep up with the magnificent work, those summaries are unbelivable.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you had such a good time with these... but that's like, almost 5 hours of video, I hope you didn't do it in one sitting hahah. I'll keep em coming, I've started writing an early draft for my next one but I won't have that finalized until I finish my subnautica multiplayer stuff. For now though, I'm also putting out this choose-your-own-adventure series called [BAD DREAMS], if you're interested its on my channel, and I'll be making new episodes a few times a week, so I hope people will get into it and we can push the story in a cool direction. Anyways, thanks again, I'll keep making stuff!
@@remdot Please, do make more! I'll be watching for sure, since I'm already a new subscriber :D And my only concern about the videos being so long is that I just can't imagine how many hours you put in making them. Watching them on the other hand is a pure joy, especially with the mix of being serious and goofy from time to time. The Little Nightmares one? Two sittings, doing manual work on my desk, and brainwork trying to understand the lore. Last words from me here; thank you for the videos , they are great, keep'em coming!
I think personally there's 2 canons. 1 is obviously the game canon, the other is the canon with the Ferryman/Candleman. But if Little Nightmares 3 finds a way to connect both stories, then we can all make more theories.
the 2017 comics kinda link the two I think! I know for a while lots of people thought those comics were decannonized but from what I've seen they never actually were, and in the first issue it shows Six's encounter with the Ferryman taking her to the Maw from what seems to be the Pale City! what I find really interesting about the comics (besides it just being more Little Nightmares content for me to obsess over lol) is the fact that all the children in it that we see the stories of appear to already be in the Nowhere when the Ferryman shows up and takes them elsewhere, in their cases to the Maw. the story of the Refugee Boy in the first issue in particular has similarities to Noone's journey in Theatre of the Mind, the shopping centre episode. just in case you dont want spoilers for it I will save my ramble lol but if you want the explanation i'd love to share, I find it so fascinating, but also if you wanna watch a video about it instead I recommend Indie Xplorer's video "Secrets of the Shopping Mall | Little Nightmares Theory", that's the video I saw that pointed out the similarities between the Ferryman's interaction with Noone and the Refugee Kid and their respective monsters, as well as similarities between the shopping centre and the signal tower in LN2! also recommend his "Pulling the Strings" video
Ik im months behind but seeing someone actually put together the entire story and everything from all this and in an interesting way shows the passion and love put into this and just wanna say this is fantastic
Holy crap how doesn’t this have more views? This was an amazing watch and deserves a lot more recognition!! Thank you for producing this, so much work went into this and I enjoyed every second of it
Thanks a ton for watching! I'm just really glad it's starting to get seen by so many people now. Comments and support from folks like yourself are probably why that's happening so thanks for that too
Here’s a theory I have. I’d love to know your thoughts on it: When asked if Mono was the Thin Man seen in game, or simply a predecessor to a previous Thin Man, the devs said both options were correct. This confirms that there was a Thin Man existing before Mono grew up to be the one we see in the game. We see a Thin Man in comics at multiple points. Considering the comics take place before the events of the game, this can’t be future Mono. As he remains locked up until freed by his past self, in which he immediately kidnaps Six and starts going after his past self. He’d also have no reason to time travel back to later points, just to return to Mono’s time and go after them. The last comic reveals a Thin Man’s silhouette looming over Mono, and we don’t see what happens after. We know for a fact that this is a TM, despite the face being obscured. Because if you break the comic layers, you’ll see the Thin Man’s model overlapping the silhouette. Suggesting they traced it due to budget constraints. Six blatantly gains the Lady’s powers after killing them. This suggests a natural law of the Nowhere is that, if you kill someone with magic, you obtain it. All of this suggests that Mono killed a past Thin Man from the comics off screen, and obtained their powers, locking in his fate where he ultimately becomes a successor. Which then leads to the timeloop seen in game.
You know what that's actually a pretty good theory. I'm gonna make a revised video once the third game comes out but if we see someone else get magic after killing a monster then afaic that would cement it. Right now I still lean towards mono having always been the thin man in a cycle of replacing himself / being replaced by himself (making him both the successor and having always been) while nowhere is messing with time, bc it'd explain a bit about mono's backstory, showing him always connected to TVs and the signal, and why the thin man treats him and six different, and also bc we have an explicit reason for why six was able to absorb magic (she was missing a huge chunk of her soul, and the magic filled it) so imo it just fits better with all the information we have, but if we see another kid gain magic in the third game or any information to support it in that or in the new comic series then I'll probably change to that perspective
@@remdotThat’s understandable. But I think Six being soulless and absorbing magic is correlation and not causation. Continuing, I wanted to ask something. What makes you so sure the deaths are canon and not just a gameplay animation?
I keep rewatching this over and over again because not a single other video comes close to how good this one explains the lore and how long it is makes it amazing. I am so thankful that this was made 😭♥️
Brother…. Brother. It’s late asf rn and I just took a dab but BARE MINIMUM I need to comment that this was a fucking masterpiece. *This* is what a passion project looks like. I enjoyed this thing stem to stern which is saying a lot considering I started this video while medicated for my adhd and ended NOW. Not many people or things successfully intrigue both of my modes of being. I’m excited to watch the rest of your channel and I’m going to recommend you to anyone who will listen. Hope you feel better, but be sure not to burn yourself out to create the content. Preserve the passion, my guy. And shoutout to all the actors/extras as well, y’all did fantastic. Hope to see more from you.
Honestly this might be the nicest comment I've ever had. Thanks, I'm glad you had such a good time with it. I'll try my best to keep it going and make the next one even better >:)
Tbh a lot of this feels more like fan fiction than actual lore, especially with the carecter voice acting and acting like the videos being recorded inside of the universe that the story takes place in.
THIS VIDEO WAS AMAZING!! As an avid Little Nightmares fan, this was the perfect thing to scratch the itch my brain needed. I'm so excited for LN3, and I appreciate all your hard work! Thank you so much!
Thank you!! It's awesome so many ln fans are finding it now. Same here, hyped for the second game. I'm mostly curious how it fits into the overall timeline
please, please in the future dont use ai art. it steals from fellow artists and is absolutely terrible for the environment. other than that, i really enjoyed this! as an omega fan of the series i really liked how you connected the kid-to-monster transformation pattern and otto's inherent tragedy of forever sending more kids to nowhere
Don't worry, I won't. I'm both an artist myself and a video creator. I checked it out as a tool for making videos but stopped because I didn't like it as an artist and bc of how it hit some others I know and have worked with.
@@remdot I'm glad to hear it! your work stands so well on its own between your style and your mind-blowing research/theorizing, but the ai art makes it kind of a slog to get through
I think the AI images there make me more uncomfortable than the themes in this franchise/j But seriously, next time just ask for help from artists to make illustrations (I mean, the sketches you made for some parts are already good, you don't need AI images!)
Yeah, I used to have kind of a complex about showing my art to people, but since there's been such a crazy positive response to Bad Dreams, and to my art in general, it's made me a lot more confident. In my next story&lore project I plan to do all the b roll myself, with practical effects mostly. And thanks for watching the video; I did cut all the artificially made stock footage from everything after the lore section, and I subbed it out for gameplay, so I hope you enjoyed the rest of it.
Thank you for all your effort into explaining and summarizing the Little Nightmares universe and lore. 2 HOURS?? You have real dedication, this is coming from another obsessed little nightmares fan, I appreciate you. This definitely deserves more recognition.
For sure, I really like these games too and I always have. Can't wait for the third one. I hope it's finally something that takes place after LN1 since right now only TSoN took place after but that's on earth so it doesn't tell us much about six. And Thank you ^^
FINALLYYYY SOMEONE MADE AN IN DEPTH VID AB THIS LORE !!! :D the amount of effort u put into this is amazing i loved every second of this vid. will definitely be tuning in to see what you do next :)
Thank you!! Yeah it was a lot of effort but I'm really glad you enjoyed it so much. I tried to go deeper into stuff and be more thorough than anyone I've seen before and I think I did well, and hoped that everyone who watches the video picks up on that. So thank you, I really appreciate it. My next vid will be a more normal gameplay type project and then I have a huge thing planned for after that, but that one won't be here for a few months. I hope to see you then.
This is one of my favorite videos. It was the video that introduced me to my favorite game, which led me to create my own LN OC, to listen to the amazing soundtrack of the games, to read the comics, ect. It was an enjoyable watch the whole way through. Thank you for making this REMdot!
Hey just found your channel THANK YOU for doing in-depth explanations and deep dives. You would think because this is such a popular game that has so much lore and themes that there would be quite a few deep dives explaining all of it. But there really aren't. The majority of them cut out almost everything and just do like a bare bones summary. So I really appreciate that you gathered all the lore together and are able to turn it into one cohesive narrative. And it makes it so much easier to see the themes and symbols and explore them. Thank you so much for doing these def subscribed ❤😮
The little nightmares universe is one of my favorites of all time! Thank you for all the effort and time you put into this video, it was so much fun to watch. ❤
Thanks, and I agree It took a few weeks to start getting shown to people, but now it's going up to a good couple hundred views a day and climbing so hopefullyyyy it keeps growing 🤞
I think this video's production is phenomenal, I absolutely loved all the parts regarding your "stay" in the Nowhere and the monsters and voiced over parts of the game, it was great, I wonder how your original project will look like! However, one major flaw the analysis itself has is stating theories and headcanons as if they were facts, like the one about children waking up after dying in the Nowhere, Otto having an argument with his sister or Ferryman being the Nowhere's personification. I just think it's important to differentiate between confirmed canon and assumptions to not cause confusion. And to y'all reading this comment, don't take any facts at face value, look for where the information came from, both in fandoms and outside of them
This movie was a masterpiece and made my work day fly by. This is fantastic. I never even played the game but was captivated by the art and few clips I saw. Thank you for this and I really hope everyone that worked in this is satisfied with the work.
Absolutely incredible video! Completely worth the watch. I love your thoughts/theories on the sounds of nightmares. Overall incredible video with really creative narrative in the background and impressive visuals.
Hi, I'm super grateful that you made this video. You explained the lore so well, it was amazing listening to you. Excellent job! Please extend on it, once the third game releases, I hope they find a way to tie all bits and pieces together through that.
Came into this hot off the Scorn video, and I've gotta say, you've made me a huge fan! I love the attention to detail and storytelling! One small thing though, I know you addressed this in reply to another comment, but the AI images were a little frustrating. I'm impressed you owned up to it in the reply, but maybe address it in a pinned comment or something? Not everyone will look at replies to comments, and I wouldn't want misunderstandings to happen. Over all though, one of my favorite videos on the platform! You and everyone did a great job! Keep up the good work!
I've been starving for more Little Nightmares content, so I came to rewatch this. I can only hope you make more videos after Little Nightmares 3 comes out!
I've been deeply fascinated by the Little Nightmares universe and lore for many years now. Thank you so much for this epic deepdive, love the structure and the great storytelling. It's evident you've invested a lot of time and effort into this and I gotta say it's simply amazing! Keep up the great work! c:
This is an amazing video, I love all the dedication put into it! The narration is fun and engaging, the decorations to the wall and little bits add a lot of charm. Of course, the sheer amount of research needed to put this all together and explain it thoroughly and clearly is commendable too. As someone who really loves this series, but didn´t know of some extra content and couldn´t understand much of it I really appreciate this :) The only thing I dislike is the use of what seems to be AI; I know it´s gonna be hard to find visuals for the video but idk, I´d rather just watch you talk than look at the results of exploitative tools. AI leaves a really bad taste in my mouth.
Dawg, how do you not have more people on your nuts? This content is sick! Appreciate your hard work. Little nightmares really glowed up with your shenanigans. I love this series.
Thank you so much! And I dunno, with big multi hour long videos like this, stuff takes time. Near nobody saw the Scorn video until almost a full year after it was published, so I'm just glad more people are seeing this one this early.
Oh my gosh, this was amazing. The Little Nightmares series is my favorite game series of all time and you did amazing explaining the story and putting your twist onto it with voice lines and such. Keep up the fantastic work! Would love to see you explain the 3rd game when it comes out!
Hey thanks! Yeah blue definitely killed it with that thin man voice over, I remember being in the call with him when he started doing the lines and just staring at my screen with this big ass grin He told me his leg is healing pretty well though so that's good
I think with super specific points like that it's impossible to really tell. There's just as much proof to that as most of the other major theories and just as much contradicting it In favor: she did stick her hand out for him Contradicting: she seemed wary of, maybe even afraid of him when she first woke up after being freed from the music box. With that kinda thing, I think it's good to have headcannons since they make the story more compelling, but in the end we can never prove them. In my mind, what happened is adult evil monster mono crammed her into the music box and hurt her badly so when she woke up she knew what he was, and that's why she seemed afraid, but after making the jump she started second guessing herself and wanted to see his face to confirm, so she held out her hand, and then she caught him, pulled him up just enough to get a good look, and once she was sure... She left him without a second thought.
This is such a fun and incredibly unique way to talk about games and lore. I’m only 16 minutes in and I’ve already subbed. This is absolutely brilliant.
Watching this video in sections and coming back for more.. I’m appreciating your craft :) Very entertaining, informative, creative content! Well done on this mini thesis on everything Little Nightmares up to now. You da man! ❤
I know you’ve gotten like 20 comments about the Ai art but i say props to you for doing it. While I agree with the other comments that i don’t love it to say the least.though i think the fact that you managed to find a cost effective way to provide visuals for your video is something that deserves praise. cause the visuals weren’t the focus(though j appreciate the set lol)but I think you could almost just as easily not use Ai art in your videos. None the less the video was rad af keep it up.
Dude I accidentally went back in the video after the time loop to the beginning of the loop and I was like "is he really going to say the time loop again as a joke cuz it's a time loop?" What I didn't realize, is that I'm stupid
I find it really intresting, your take on 6, in this video she is painted as such a "good" character in all the other perspectives I've seen, 6 is a part of little nightmares theme. The theme of overconsumtion as she becomes like the monsters, selfish, gluttonous, bloodlustful, and that she is like all the others. In all the other perspectives ive seen the scene where she uses the other kids cages to escape they all say that the children are consious and see her using them as tools for her own self intrest. But i find it an intresting take that in this video she is painted as a hero who does what it takes to survive. 😊
Good shit dude, started and finished LN series within the last week and went straight to your vid. Safe to say I’m all in on the series from now on with your help. Cheers
2:01:08 there’s a child’s drawing you can find where it shows that the Janitor had more arms. Arms he no longer has having “x”s drawn on them. So maybe it wasn’t him first arriving to the Maw, but instead he had already lived there beforehand. Going to the Doctor each time his arms were torn off with Little Nightmares 2 being when he had only a pair of arms left. That’s why the suitcase is there because he just came back; only to have the last two later on be severed by Six.
@@remdotMhm! It was so long ago that I saw the theory/ description, so I’m hunting for it but I’m certain it was in the Maw. Whether it was a gnome or child who drew it, or it was in the main story or DLC, I can’t remember since you see drawings in both. Also I didn’t say this in my first comment, but it was such an amazing video that I loved watching every second of it. Thank you for making it! You can see in every detail the hard work that went into it
this video is amazingly edited and managed to keep me engaged ALL THROUGHOUT ( maybe not that hard as this is my favourite IP ever ) keep up the work ❤❤❤ much love
I don't think Mono is on a time loop persé. When they ask the creators about the nature of the loop, if its a succesor, future self, other creature or something likethat, they said: All that. Like if they don't have a way to explain it. Nowhere is a very weird place, maybe time doesn't works in the same way
My interpretation of that is, time is looping, but the thin man is considered a distinct entity from mono even though it's what mono becomes. It seems like nowhere allows the monsters to die so it has to consider them different from the kids who become them, somehow. So it's like Original thin man dies Mono gets betrayed Mono becomes the thin man The thin man goes back in time to the loop's start, thus succeeding the original but also becoming the original
I love the video, great job! Although I do have some points I want to talk about; 1) Why do you think kids die and reincarnate, even regularly, in the nowhere? I never heard this theory before, and I don't see anything suggesting this happens other than trying to explain video game logic, but that can't be taken seriously as lore, right? I sort of understand the first idea of reincarnation if a kid dies to get sent to the nowhere, but I'm not even sure if that is correct, unless I missed something I don't think it was mentioned in the audio series that either of them actually died. It doesn't make sense for them to be reincarnated in Earth either, it would make more sense if they were reincarnated in the nowhere from the process of passing through that doorway 2) Why do you think Six noticed that the thin man and Mono were one and the same? Thinking logically, that reason would make the most sense for her to betray mono like that, however, I don't think its likely that she could deduce that they are the same person from their facial structure alone. Even casting aside the fact that appearances can change from kid to adult, the lengthening process and his long stay in the nowhere which made Mono into the thin man probably altered his appearance even more than usual, I think it would be impossible to tell, and even more impossible to believe at that very moment that there is 2 mono's and that they are in a time loop. Its easy for us to tell looking at it from our perspective, but how could Six ever reach that conclusion? 3) I think you missed the plot point of shadow six. While I'm not entirely sure whats going on there myself, I do think it is heavily suggested that shadow six was the one who lead six to the maw (from little nightmares 2 secret ending). I also know shadow six was present when six first ate the bread that was thrown to her by that other kid (you can see her if you move your screen around), and I believe she might have been present for every time six ate something after getting hungry. Nothing here to suggest shadow six represents her innocence, but again not sure on that 4) Why do you think Six ate the gnome near the end of little nightmares 1? I'm not sure myself. If bread (was it actually bread?) and rat meat was enough to sustain her, I don't see why a sausage would be any different, and that would probably be more filling than a gnome. If the thought is to consume parts of a living thing's essence or soul, why did the bread work? (unless it wasnt bread?). We know Six liked the gnomes from the ability to hug them, so it doesn't really make sense that she would eat one when there is an alternative. Maybe it was shadow six who made her do it? It could also be just a distinct lack of morals or care, thinking the gnomes as more of a pet curiosity rather than actually caring for them. That's debatable as well, considering she did (or could) free a gnome from a cage, but also didn't care to free another child from a similar cage. Very strange
Correction: The Ferryman actually says "a toe dipped" not "atoned" in chapter 6. Telling Otto he had only scratched the surface of the Nowhere (not evil enough) from how he had mistreated Noone, and to plunge he must be pushed, meaning that he must take further lengths in tormenting the children under his "care" if he wants to be allowed entry into the Nowhere.
oh he does? I played tson with captions on that part to make sure and it said "atoned?" at the time. Might have been done in error by autocaption or something since I listened to em as they came out.
This was an amazing video. I loved the way you put it together, and while I dont necessarily like all the AI art, I love the style of this video, from you being stuck IN nowhere, to the funny gameplay WITH lore! I'm definitely subscribing, and I hope for future success in your videos. I cant wait to see what you do next. I watched till the end, and I'm glad I did. All the voice actors did AMAZING. Hope you feel better. And if you are maybe looking for a voice actor in a future video, I'm trying to get into the field. I'm also looking forward to your passion project, it sounds intriguing! 😁 continue the great work!
Thanks so much ^^ Editing definitely took up more time than anything else with this video, I think I averaged around 2 hours of editing per 5 minutes of footage, or a little more maybe, it took so long, but I'm thrilled with how it turned out. And I'm glad you liked it and that it looks good to you
I think this is one of the best Little Nightmares story video I have ever seen! Btw, have you noticed that the Little Nightmares III steam description says that you help Low & Alone, to search for a path that could lead them out of the Nowhere?
Criminally underrated video! I didn't finish it yet but your compassion for it shines through, however sometimes the music and sound effects gets very loud which makes it kinda hard to understand what you are saying, I'm not saying stop using them just a suggestion that in the future videos you can be careful about the volume. Have a nice day!
I try to get to that sweet spot where it's loud enough to be noticeable but not so loud that it drowns it out, but I'll be more careful to drop the music a flat 2 or 3 DB next time
Loved the video! :D i do have a complaint though, and totally underatandable if you disregard this comment! I may just hate fun, but im not a fan of the persistant intermissions / "skits" / conversations between the characters youre speaking of/ explaining. in my opinion it completely spoils the flow of what would be a really conise and insightful video, hope this dosnt come off to harsh, otherwise this video is fantastic and i admire how much work you put into it !! :) ❤❤
I like how Otto's picture is labeled "Who's this douchebag?" Also I like how you present us with a sort of civil war within Nowhere itself; The eldritch Thin Man, the one who holds up the system, and the vain rebel sorceress, The Lady, who wishes to acquire power for herself only, and with everybody else caught in between. That would make for an awesome fanfic, to be honest. Little Nightmares: Civil War, coming to you in theaters!
wow this is really good :0 i think you’d enjoy looking into guilty gear lore since ur really good at explaining things and guilty gear’s story is notoriously convoluted
It's such a good series and I had been wanting to do an overarching lore video for so long, I'm really happy it's finally getting shown to other fans of the games
AWESOME VIDEO ESSAY helped break lnm lore down for my puny little brain hehe... i am very glad you understood the negativity surrounding ai imagery as well haha, i got nervous when i first saw... but this was so so incredibly made, i can really really see how much care you put into the creation of this !!! 3 am as im finishing this right now and it was so worth it. (also oh my god, homestuck references. YAY!)
IIII dunno about that. It is possible that she could be Alone from the third game, but we know a bit about her story. After the doctor grabbed her and ultimately killed her, she resurrected inside the prison cell again. Those tallymarks I initially thought were days she'd been trapped were actually probably counting the number of times she'd resurrected. Ultimately, we can go there in LN 2 and if we do, there's a teleperson of her standing next to the hole, so the thin man eventually found her and carted her off to the tower, which cut off a big chunk of her soul, and I doubt she'd have come back after that, she probably wound up as another one of those TV viewer monsters in the end. Also since noone's story takes place after LN1 (since she found six's raincoat) that couldn't be noone. Alone is possible, maybe, it'll depend on if thin man always perma killed or if he only tried to perma kill six though, that's sorta up to individual interpretation
It was really cool listening to this video for lore and then having it turn into a bit of a voiced fanfic!! Like it’s cute it makes my brain go brrr
The one thing that was uncomfortable was maybe the ai generated images since ai does steal from artists to create an image and if those images weren’t ai I didn’t see any crediting for the art tho idk I might also be hella blind. The art just looks… how do I put it… uncanny to me. Like it takes similar art styles and tries to piece them together in an unnatural way. It’s not like an artist that spends time incorporating styles and techniques into their work. It’s sorta reminiscent of melted wax where you can see different candles but the place where they merge is still blurry. Idk maybe I’m overthinking and I’m crazy
Other than that this was a really fun video :)
Nah you're right there was some AI stuff at the beginning.
I worked on this in sections, and basically I finished the lore section first, ~2 or 3 months before the video came out. At the time, most ai companies were claiming that they license images from artists to train their programs, and this was around when I found out that most stock photo sites str8 up steal from artists, so ironically I went with ai as like a defiance against that kinda theft.
I found out a few months later, not long before the vid came out, how they actually train those models, when an artist I'm working with on an original project lost his job. That got me doing more research. I went back and drew a few frames after that for moments when Noone is talking (all the black and white kinda messy sketches are things I did myself) but I would've had to delay about 2 more months to make hand drawings I could put over all the ai background images, and id already deleted the original recordings to save space, so I couldn't just take them out. In the end, I just kinda had to take the L on that one.
TLDR I just didn't know when I made the vid, I won't be using it going forward though. And thanks I'm glad you liked the vid ^^
@@remdot no yeah it was a really fun video and funny enough some of the things that got in the way of it getting uploaded falls in line with the whole “fanfic author has disappeared for months and comes back saying that they got hit by a bus or went through a major life change”
Although there might be a lot of things going on I hope you’re not burning yourself out!! I saw the Stray video and the way you talked about having more subscribers and how that affected how you make video can sometimes come back to bite you so be careful 👍✨
@@jaydinotjdoh hahah yeah there was a lot of that. I've mentioned in some other reply threads, whole weeks of reshooting and massive rewrites, but this was my first project of this scale so it turned out really well... Hopefully the next ones even better, now that I'm not just fumbling in the dark.
And thanks, I'm mostly careful about stuff like that. In a few weeks though I'll be graduated, and then I'll start to relax a bit. Till then, I can find a way to cope.
Also I'm gonna pin your original comment since it does a good job at explaining problems in ai, and my reply to it is the most comprehensive one I did, so that way people watching the vid can sorta quickly see my take on things and my direction goin forward.
Thank you
@@remdotNot gonna lie this is such a relief to hear cuz I was seriously contemplating if I should even watch the video seeing the Ai generated stuff and I was about to leave a comment but I’m extremely glad your aware of how it’s problematic and I completely understand why you left those parts in.
There is nothing wrong with ai generated images
My favorite part of the first game and the moment that drew me into the lore was when six pulled down her hoodie and said "It's nightmare time" and proceeded to have nightmares everywhere. Absolutely unreal.
It was a pretty great moment. I think my favorite though is when the runaway said "maybe the real little nightmares were the friends we made along the way"
Maybe the real little nightmare was the ai art used along the way.
True horror (the degredation of real artists)
😂
@@zecabone3850 sucks to suck
The true horror is people still think flesh makes any difference
@@krispingle mf are you making ritual sacrifices to draw?
btw one thing I've heard about the lady and that mirror scene in the DLC is that it isn't actually her face, it's just what nowhere makes her think she looks like as a sort of "punishment" or drawback from the ability to take souls / ownership of the Maw domain
Specially since her actual face (her model face) is almost like that of a doll
Is this canon
This video not the Comment
I think the lady needs to consume the kids youth to stay young so the mirror shows her what she really looks like
One cool fact about the second game is when mono is being chased by the thin man you can hear this like screeching noise, and when you put a microphone to a speaker that its connected to it makes the same noise, signifying that they are the same person
Oh that's what that noise is?
That's really cool, I didn't even realize it but that makes a lot of sense
It's called a feedback loop, right? I wonder if that's the reason Mono locks up in pain (and sort of mimicks his movements for a second) when the Thin Man first appears through the TV.
My dude, I came here searching for a copper, and found PURE GOLD. Love the Scorn video, love this one about Little Nightmares, now I'm going for the Stray one. Keep up with the magnificent work, those summaries are unbelivable.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you had such a good time with these... but that's like, almost 5 hours of video, I hope you didn't do it in one sitting hahah.
I'll keep em coming, I've started writing an early draft for my next one but I won't have that finalized until I finish my subnautica multiplayer stuff.
For now though, I'm also putting out this choose-your-own-adventure series called [BAD DREAMS], if you're interested its on my channel, and I'll be making new episodes a few times a week, so I hope people will get into it and we can push the story in a cool direction.
Anyways, thanks again, I'll keep making stuff!
@@remdot Please, do make more! I'll be watching for sure, since I'm already a new subscriber :D
And my only concern about the videos being so long is that I just can't imagine how many hours you put in making them.
Watching them on the other hand is a pure joy, especially with the mix of being serious and goofy from time to time. The Little Nightmares one? Two sittings, doing manual work on my desk, and brainwork trying to understand the lore.
Last words from me here; thank you for the videos , they are great, keep'em coming!
My dude, that is my exact path. Lol I hooked too
I think personally there's 2 canons. 1 is obviously the game canon, the other is the canon with the Ferryman/Candleman.
But if Little Nightmares 3 finds a way to connect both stories, then we can all make more theories.
the 2017 comics kinda link the two I think! I know for a while lots of people thought those comics were decannonized but from what I've seen they never actually were, and in the first issue it shows Six's encounter with the Ferryman taking her to the Maw from what seems to be the Pale City! what I find really interesting about the comics (besides it just being more Little Nightmares content for me to obsess over lol) is the fact that all the children in it that we see the stories of appear to already be in the Nowhere when the Ferryman shows up and takes them elsewhere, in their cases to the Maw. the story of the Refugee Boy in the first issue in particular has similarities to Noone's journey in Theatre of the Mind, the shopping centre episode. just in case you dont want spoilers for it I will save my ramble lol but if you want the explanation i'd love to share, I find it so fascinating, but also if you wanna watch a video about it instead I recommend Indie Xplorer's video "Secrets of the Shopping Mall | Little Nightmares Theory", that's the video I saw that pointed out the similarities between the Ferryman's interaction with Noone and the Refugee Kid and their respective monsters, as well as similarities between the shopping centre and the signal tower in LN2! also recommend his "Pulling the Strings" video
I'm not that into the entore lore, but could you link a video that shares these two canons? Or the better one atleast...
I'm glad to have found another person as obsessed with Little Nightmares as me.
lmao I went a little crazy with it, by the time I set up that wall of connections I had friends legitimately getting concerned.
'course B)
@PaperBagAnimates
Oh thank god there are others!
WHERE DID YOU FIND YOUR PROFILE PICTURE!??? it has been a mystery in my friend group for years
@@Jackiebobdude I don't know, I've had it for like 5 years and I don't remember where I got it from 😂
I came for the lore stayed for the man. I think you’re quite good at this keep it up homie.
Ik im months behind but seeing someone actually put together the entire story and everything from all this and in an interesting way shows the passion and love put into this and just wanna say this is fantastic
Thank you
Holy crap how doesn’t this have more views? This was an amazing watch and deserves a lot more recognition!! Thank you for producing this, so much work went into this and I enjoyed every second of it
Thanks a ton for watching! I'm just really glad it's starting to get seen by so many people now. Comments and support from folks like yourself are probably why that's happening so thanks for that too
Here’s a theory I have. I’d love to know your thoughts on it:
When asked if Mono was the Thin Man seen in game, or simply a predecessor to a previous Thin Man, the devs said both options were correct. This confirms that there was a Thin Man existing before Mono grew up to be the one we see in the game.
We see a Thin Man in comics at multiple points. Considering the comics take place before the events of the game, this can’t be future Mono. As he remains locked up until freed by his past self, in which he immediately kidnaps Six and starts going after his past self. He’d also have no reason to time travel back to later points, just to return to Mono’s time and go after them.
The last comic reveals a Thin Man’s silhouette looming over Mono, and we don’t see what happens after. We know for a fact that this is a TM, despite the face being obscured. Because if you break the comic layers, you’ll see the Thin Man’s model overlapping the silhouette. Suggesting they traced it due to budget constraints.
Six blatantly gains the Lady’s powers after killing them. This suggests a natural law of the Nowhere is that, if you kill someone with magic, you obtain it.
All of this suggests that Mono killed a past Thin Man from the comics off screen, and obtained their powers, locking in his fate where he ultimately becomes a successor. Which then leads to the timeloop seen in game.
You know what that's actually a pretty good theory. I'm gonna make a revised video once the third game comes out but if we see someone else get magic after killing a monster then afaic that would cement it.
Right now I still lean towards mono having always been the thin man in a cycle of replacing himself / being replaced by himself (making him both the successor and having always been) while nowhere is messing with time, bc it'd explain a bit about mono's backstory, showing him always connected to TVs and the signal, and why the thin man treats him and six different, and also bc we have an explicit reason for why six was able to absorb magic (she was missing a huge chunk of her soul, and the magic filled it) so imo it just fits better with all the information we have, but if we see another kid gain magic in the third game or any information to support it in that or in the new comic series then I'll probably change to that perspective
@@remdotThat’s understandable. But I think Six being soulless and absorbing magic is correlation and not causation.
Continuing, I wanted to ask something. What makes you so sure the deaths are canon and not just a gameplay animation?
I keep rewatching this over and over again because not a single other video comes close to how good this one explains the lore and how long it is makes it amazing. I am so thankful that this was made 😭♥️
Exactly more people need to subscribe
This series has had me in a chokehold for around 3 years now. So glad to see another fan.
Brother…. Brother. It’s late asf rn and I just took a dab but BARE MINIMUM I need to comment that this was a fucking masterpiece. *This* is what a passion project looks like. I enjoyed this thing stem to stern which is saying a lot considering I started this video while medicated for my adhd and ended NOW. Not many people or things successfully intrigue both of my modes of being. I’m excited to watch the rest of your channel and I’m going to recommend you to anyone who will listen. Hope you feel better, but be sure not to burn yourself out to create the content. Preserve the passion, my guy. And shoutout to all the actors/extras as well, y’all did fantastic. Hope to see more from you.
Honestly this might be the nicest comment I've ever had. Thanks, I'm glad you had such a good time with it. I'll try my best to keep it going and make the next one even better >:)
Tbh a lot of this feels more like fan fiction than actual lore, especially with the carecter voice acting and acting like the videos being recorded inside of the universe that the story takes place in.
THIS VIDEO WAS AMAZING!! As an avid Little Nightmares fan, this was the perfect thing to scratch the itch my brain needed. I'm so excited for LN3, and I appreciate all your hard work! Thank you so much!
Thank you!! It's awesome so many ln fans are finding it now.
Same here, hyped for the second game. I'm mostly curious how it fits into the overall timeline
please, please in the future dont use ai art. it steals from fellow artists and is absolutely terrible for the environment. other than that, i really enjoyed this! as an omega fan of the series i really liked how you connected the kid-to-monster transformation pattern and otto's inherent tragedy of forever sending more kids to nowhere
Don't worry, I won't. I'm both an artist myself and a video creator. I checked it out as a tool for making videos but stopped because I didn't like it as an artist and bc of how it hit some others I know and have worked with.
@@remdot Hell yeah, I appreciate you being honest about that. Outside of that I thought this was a really fun video. Very Flawed Peacock
@@remdot I'm glad to hear it! your work stands so well on its own between your style and your mind-blowing research/theorizing, but the ai art makes it kind of a slog to get through
1:15:35 Seeing Mono fight for his cheese had me DYING, omg 🤣🧀
Thanks for the amazing video!
Everybody involved did incredible work! GG everyone. Can't wait for Little Nightmares 3!
I think the AI images there make me more uncomfortable than the themes in this franchise/j
But seriously, next time just ask for help from artists to make illustrations (I mean, the sketches you made for some parts are already good, you don't need AI images!)
It doesn’t matter??..
Yeah, I used to have kind of a complex about showing my art to people, but since there's been such a crazy positive response to Bad Dreams, and to my art in general, it's made me a lot more confident. In my next story&lore project I plan to do all the b roll myself, with practical effects mostly.
And thanks for watching the video; I did cut all the artificially made stock footage from everything after the lore section, and I subbed it out for gameplay, so I hope you enjoyed the rest of it.
Thank you for all your effort into explaining and summarizing the Little Nightmares universe and lore. 2 HOURS?? You have real dedication, this is coming from another obsessed little nightmares fan, I appreciate you. This definitely deserves more recognition.
For sure, I really like these games too and I always have. Can't wait for the third one. I hope it's finally something that takes place after LN1 since right now only TSoN took place after but that's on earth so it doesn't tell us much about six.
And Thank you ^^
You explained so much, you explained everything, but there's still so many more mysteries left unsolved in this world of nowhere...
Just gotta wait until the third entry, when we step back in and learn a little bit more
FINALLYYYY SOMEONE MADE AN IN DEPTH VID AB THIS LORE !!! :D the amount of effort u put into this is amazing i loved every second of this vid. will definitely be tuning in to see what you do next :)
Thank you!!
Yeah it was a lot of effort but I'm really glad you enjoyed it so much. I tried to go deeper into stuff and be more thorough than anyone I've seen before and I think I did well, and hoped that everyone who watches the video picks up on that.
So thank you, I really appreciate it. My next vid will be a more normal gameplay type project and then I have a huge thing planned for after that, but that one won't be here for a few months. I hope to see you then.
This is one of my favorite videos. It was the video that introduced me to my favorite game, which led me to create my own LN OC, to listen to the amazing soundtrack of the games, to read the comics, ect. It was an enjoyable watch the whole way through. Thank you for making this REMdot!
Hey just found your channel THANK YOU for doing in-depth explanations and deep dives. You would think because this is such a popular game that has so much lore and themes that there would be quite a few deep dives explaining all of it. But there really aren't. The majority of them cut out almost everything and just do like a bare bones summary. So I really appreciate that you gathered all the lore together and are able to turn it into one cohesive narrative. And it makes it so much easier to see the themes and symbols and explore them. Thank you so much for doing these def subscribed ❤😮
I'm glad you liked them ^^
I'll be making a few more this year too so I hope you like what comes next and my original project stuff
The little nightmares universe is one of my favorites of all time! Thank you for all the effort and time you put into this video, it was so much fun to watch. ❤
Same, it's an absolutely goated series that's super original
It's been... 3000000000 years
I had to crawl over the finish line buuut I DID IT AND THE VIDEO TURNED OUT SO GREAT
The crazy obsessed person narration makes this amazing
Dude how does this only have 6k views! Honestly I think this deserves over a million!
Thanks, and I agree
It took a few weeks to start getting shown to people, but now it's going up to a good couple hundred views a day and climbing so hopefullyyyy it keeps growing 🤞
I think this video's production is phenomenal, I absolutely loved all the parts regarding your "stay" in the Nowhere and the monsters and voiced over parts of the game, it was great, I wonder how your original project will look like! However, one major flaw the analysis itself has is stating theories and headcanons as if they were facts, like the one about children waking up after dying in the Nowhere, Otto having an argument with his sister or Ferryman being the Nowhere's personification. I just think it's important to differentiate between confirmed canon and assumptions to not cause confusion.
And to y'all reading this comment, don't take any facts at face value, look for where the information came from, both in fandoms and outside of them
After that scorn lore, I fell in love with your channel bro, thank you for another banger🙏🏼
Thanks for the support on all my videos dude. And I'm glad you're liking em so much
Literally same. He crushed it on that viddy!
This movie was a masterpiece and made my work day fly by. This is fantastic. I never even played the game but was captivated by the art and few clips I saw. Thank you for this and I really hope everyone that worked in this is satisfied with the work.
Fantastic video, really deserves more attention
Absolutely incredible video! Completely worth the watch. I love your thoughts/theories on the sounds of nightmares. Overall incredible video with really creative narrative in the background and impressive visuals.
Hi, I'm super grateful that you made this video. You explained the lore so well, it was amazing listening to you. Excellent job! Please extend on it, once the third game releases, I hope they find a way to tie all bits and pieces together through that.
Came into this hot off the Scorn video, and I've gotta say, you've made me a huge fan! I love the attention to detail and storytelling! One small thing though, I know you addressed this in reply to another comment, but the AI images were a little frustrating. I'm impressed you owned up to it in the reply, but maybe address it in a pinned comment or something? Not everyone will look at replies to comments, and I wouldn't want misunderstandings to happen. Over all though, one of my favorite videos on the platform! You and everyone did a great job! Keep up the good work!
I loved this video so much thank you for making this even through all the problems along the way
The chef voice acting absolutely killed me😂
He did real good with it
I've been starving for more Little Nightmares content, so I came to rewatch this. I can only hope you make more videos after Little Nightmares 3 comes out!
I've been deeply fascinated by the Little Nightmares universe and lore for many years now. Thank you so much for this epic deepdive, love the structure and the great storytelling. It's evident you've invested a lot of time and effort into this and I gotta say it's simply amazing! Keep up the great work! c:
Thank you for scratching that little nightmare itch.
For almost 3hours straight
Course. & Thanks for watching B)
This is an amazing video, I love all the dedication put into it! The narration is fun and engaging, the decorations to the wall and little bits add a lot of charm. Of course, the sheer amount of research needed to put this all together and explain it thoroughly and clearly is commendable too. As someone who really loves this series, but didn´t know of some extra content and couldn´t understand much of it I really appreciate this :)
The only thing I dislike is the use of what seems to be AI; I know it´s gonna be hard to find visuals for the video but idk, I´d rather just watch you talk than look at the results of exploitative tools. AI leaves a really bad taste in my mouth.
This was awesome! Thank you for putting so much time and work into this!
Dawg, how do you not have more people on your nuts? This content is sick! Appreciate your hard work. Little nightmares really glowed up with your shenanigans. I love this series.
Thank you so much!
And I dunno, with big multi hour long videos like this, stuff takes time. Near nobody saw the Scorn video until almost a full year after it was published, so I'm just glad more people are seeing this one this early.
Always happy to see you be able to rest after hitting one of these massive bangers, exited to work on future projects with you
It does feel good to get the full 8+ hours of sleep again. And thanks again dude. I'm looking forward to the next ones
I haven't seen little nightmares content in YEARS, and I'm replaying the first game. Thank you sm for this!!!
I've never seen a horror video essay like this before. This was very well-written and acted.
this video is awesome it was like you knew someone needed this and you made it yourself. can’t wait to see more
Thank you!
It's something I wanted to make for a while so I'm really glad I did it, and I'm REALLY glad that people are seeing it
Oh my gosh, this was amazing. The Little Nightmares series is my favorite game series of all time and you did amazing explaining the story and putting your twist onto it with voice lines and such. Keep up the fantastic work! Would love to see you explain the 3rd game when it comes out!
I love the way you edit your videos and feel very fortunate to fund this gold on my fyp
Awesome lore video, keep up the good work! I loved the corn theif part. Funny enough, I was in a call with blue when he almost broke his leg.
Hey thanks! Yeah blue definitely killed it with that thin man voice over, I remember being in the call with him when he started doing the lines and just staring at my screen with this big ass grin
He told me his leg is healing pretty well though so that's good
An unpopular interpretation I’ve seen is that Six simply dropped Mono out of shock as she got a good look at his face. Thoughts on that?
I think with super specific points like that it's impossible to really tell. There's just as much proof to that as most of the other major theories and just as much contradicting it
In favor: she did stick her hand out for him
Contradicting: she seemed wary of, maybe even afraid of him when she first woke up after being freed from the music box.
With that kinda thing, I think it's good to have headcannons since they make the story more compelling, but in the end we can never prove them. In my mind, what happened is adult evil monster mono crammed her into the music box and hurt her badly so when she woke up she knew what he was, and that's why she seemed afraid, but after making the jump she started second guessing herself and wanted to see his face to confirm, so she held out her hand, and then she caught him, pulled him up just enough to get a good look, and once she was sure...
She left him without a second thought.
This is such a fun and incredibly unique way to talk about games and lore. I’m only 16 minutes in and I’ve already subbed. This is absolutely brilliant.
Watching this video in sections and coming back for more.. I’m appreciating your craft :) Very entertaining, informative, creative content! Well done on this mini thesis on everything Little Nightmares up to now. You da man! ❤
such a great video, but like always, im happy just to be able to help create such epic content
Thanks blue, and thanks again for your voice acting, you did great man!
@@remdot anything for the boys
This is like the best video I've seen on little nightmares it's criminal it hasn't got more veiws
I know I'm late but- Good job on powering through, man. Can't wait to watch more of your content.
THIS WAS AMAZING!!! I'm about to rewatch this with my sister!
Can't wait for the 3rd game to come out more lore ahhhh
At 32:42 the Ferryman says “A toe dipped” not atoned. Meaning that Otto had just barely entered the nowhere.
I know you’ve gotten like 20 comments about the Ai art but i say props to you for doing it. While I agree with the other comments that i don’t love it to say the least.though i think the fact that you managed to find a cost effective way to provide visuals for your video is something that deserves praise. cause the visuals weren’t the focus(though j appreciate the set lol)but I think you could almost just as easily not use Ai art in your videos. None the less the video was rad af keep it up.
i love love this video, i binged the whole thing in one sitting lol
Dude I accidentally went back in the video after the time loop to the beginning of the loop and I was like "is he really going to say the time loop again as a joke cuz it's a time loop?" What I didn't realize, is that I'm stupid
I find it really intresting, your take on 6, in this video she is painted as such a "good" character in all the other perspectives I've seen, 6 is a part of little nightmares theme. The theme of overconsumtion as she becomes like the monsters, selfish, gluttonous, bloodlustful, and that she is like all the others. In all the other perspectives ive seen the scene where she uses the other kids cages to escape they all say that the children are consious and see her using them as tools for her own self intrest. But i find it an intresting take that in this video she is painted as a hero who does what it takes to survive. 😊
Worth all 3 hrs. Thank you for this.
Thank you :)
I'm glad you liked it and thanks for watching it all the way through
Good shit dude, started and finished LN series within the last week and went straight to your vid. Safe to say I’m all in on the series from now on with your help. Cheers
All I have to say is wow this was amazing! 🤩 I’ve been waiting my whole life for someone to do this and you CRUSHED it!!!
Thank you! It was a ton of work but I'm really happy that it's gone over so well with this who watched it and that new people are finally finding it
2:01:08 there’s a child’s drawing you can find where it shows that the Janitor had more arms. Arms he no longer has having “x”s drawn on them. So maybe it wasn’t him first arriving to the Maw, but instead he had already lived there beforehand. Going to the Doctor each time his arms were torn off with Little Nightmares 2 being when he had only a pair of arms left. That’s why the suitcase is there because he just came back; only to have the last two later on be severed by Six.
I hadn't seen that drawing, I must've missed it. That's really cool though, if I had seen that drawing I bet that's what I would've thought too
@@remdotMhm! It was so long ago that I saw the theory/ description, so I’m hunting for it but I’m certain it was in the Maw. Whether it was a gnome or child who drew it, or it was in the main story or DLC, I can’t remember since you see drawings in both.
Also I didn’t say this in my first comment, but it was such an amazing video that I loved watching every second of it. Thank you for making it! You can see in every detail the hard work that went into it
Many more people must discover this channel
So underrated
I'm biased but I agree and I think if we all work together we can make it happen. ✊
Barely watched this yet and I can tell this is gonna be awsome
Thanks :D I'm hoping you like it all the way through, especially once it gets to the game stuff
Just finished it, and it was indeed awsome. This gives me the motivation to continue working on one of my big projects, good job!
This entire video was amazing! I listened to it from start to finish and absolutely loved it.
this video is amazingly edited and managed to keep me engaged ALL THROUGHOUT ( maybe not that hard as this is my favourite IP ever ) keep up the work ❤❤❤ much love
It's one of my favorites too.
And I'll do that, thank you for the support B)
I don't think Mono is on a time loop persé. When they ask the creators about the nature of the loop, if its a succesor, future self, other creature or something likethat, they said: All that. Like if they don't have a way to explain it. Nowhere is a very weird place, maybe time doesn't works in the same way
My interpretation of that is, time is looping, but the thin man is considered a distinct entity from mono even though it's what mono becomes.
It seems like nowhere allows the monsters to die so it has to consider them different from the kids who become them, somehow.
So it's like
Original thin man dies
Mono gets betrayed
Mono becomes the thin man
The thin man goes back in time to the loop's start, thus succeeding the original but also becoming the original
Jeez man, as someone absolutely obsessed with ln I am so excited to watch this tonight.
I hope you liked it ^^
I love the video, great job! Although I do have some points I want to talk about;
1) Why do you think kids die and reincarnate, even regularly, in the nowhere? I never heard this theory before, and I don't see anything suggesting this happens other than trying to explain video game logic, but that can't be taken seriously as lore, right? I sort of understand the first idea of reincarnation if a kid dies to get sent to the nowhere, but I'm not even sure if that is correct, unless I missed something I don't think it was mentioned in the audio series that either of them actually died. It doesn't make sense for them to be reincarnated in Earth either, it would make more sense if they were reincarnated in the nowhere from the process of passing through that doorway
2) Why do you think Six noticed that the thin man and Mono were one and the same? Thinking logically, that reason would make the most sense for her to betray mono like that, however, I don't think its likely that she could deduce that they are the same person from their facial structure alone. Even casting aside the fact that appearances can change from kid to adult, the lengthening process and his long stay in the nowhere which made Mono into the thin man probably altered his appearance even more than usual, I think it would be impossible to tell, and even more impossible to believe at that very moment that there is 2 mono's and that they are in a time loop. Its easy for us to tell looking at it from our perspective, but how could Six ever reach that conclusion?
3) I think you missed the plot point of shadow six. While I'm not entirely sure whats going on there myself, I do think it is heavily suggested that shadow six was the one who lead six to the maw (from little nightmares 2 secret ending). I also know shadow six was present when six first ate the bread that was thrown to her by that other kid (you can see her if you move your screen around), and I believe she might have been present for every time six ate something after getting hungry. Nothing here to suggest shadow six represents her innocence, but again not sure on that
4) Why do you think Six ate the gnome near the end of little nightmares 1? I'm not sure myself. If bread (was it actually bread?) and rat meat was enough to sustain her, I don't see why a sausage would be any different, and that would probably be more filling than a gnome. If the thought is to consume parts of a living thing's essence or soul, why did the bread work? (unless it wasnt bread?). We know Six liked the gnomes from the ability to hug them, so it doesn't really make sense that she would eat one when there is an alternative. Maybe it was shadow six who made her do it? It could also be just a distinct lack of morals or care, thinking the gnomes as more of a pet curiosity rather than actually caring for them. That's debatable as well, considering she did (or could) free a gnome from a cage, but also didn't care to free another child from a similar cage. Very strange
I never thought I'd laugh when the runaway kid is chased by the granny..but i just couldn't hold it the voice and the lines were perfect 😂😂
That delivery was all Jacob, I just gave him the lines and he read em and improved a bit. I'll make sure he knows that you liked it.
Correction: The Ferryman actually says "a toe dipped" not "atoned" in chapter 6. Telling Otto he had only scratched the surface of the Nowhere (not evil enough) from how he had mistreated Noone, and to plunge he must be pushed, meaning that he must take further lengths in tormenting the children under his "care" if he wants to be allowed entry into the Nowhere.
oh he does? I played tson with captions on that part to make sure and it said "atoned?" at the time. Might have been done in error by autocaption or something since I listened to em as they came out.
@@remdot Bandai Namco entertainment Europe’s chapter 6 does indeed say a toe dipped on the captions
This was an amazing video. I loved the way you put it together, and while I dont necessarily like all the AI art, I love the style of this video, from you being stuck IN nowhere, to the funny gameplay WITH lore! I'm definitely subscribing, and I hope for future success in your videos. I cant wait to see what you do next. I watched till the end, and I'm glad I did. All the voice actors did AMAZING. Hope you feel better. And if you are maybe looking for a voice actor in a future video, I'm trying to get into the field. I'm also looking forward to your passion project, it sounds intriguing! 😁 continue the great work!
Watched from start to finish. Kudos.
Great video man!!!!!! thank you for the awesome awesome amount of lore and info about the little nightmares universe, love your videos c:
Sure, of course. I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the nice comment
My favorite implication from the added bits to every character is the implication that the opera Carmen exists in the LN world XD
Bro the editing on this is hella fire wtf? This shit is top tier
Thanks so much ^^
Editing definitely took up more time than anything else with this video, I think I averaged around 2 hours of editing per 5 minutes of footage, or a little more maybe, it took so long, but I'm thrilled with how it turned out.
And I'm glad you liked it and that it looks good to you
I think this is one of the best Little Nightmares story video I have ever seen! Btw, have you noticed that the Little Nightmares III steam description says that you help Low & Alone, to search for a path that could lead them out of the Nowhere?
It wasn't up when I made the video, but that's not really surprising. Far as I can tell everybody ultimately is trying to get out of nowhere
@@remdot I guess you're right, but it never really got mention, that the children try to escape the Nowhere🤔
Criminally underrated video! I didn't finish it yet but your compassion for it shines through, however sometimes the music and sound effects gets very loud which makes it kinda hard to understand what you are saying, I'm not saying stop using them just a suggestion that in the future videos you can be careful about the volume. Have a nice day!
I try to get to that sweet spot where it's loud enough to be noticeable but not so loud that it drowns it out, but I'll be more careful to drop the music a flat 2 or 3 DB next time
You're videos are very comprehensive and I like that you include some of your deaths. Thanks!
I'm glad you liked it :)
Loved the video! :D i do have a complaint though, and totally underatandable if you disregard this comment! I may just hate fun, but im not a fan of the persistant intermissions / "skits" / conversations between the characters youre speaking of/ explaining. in my opinion it completely spoils the flow of what would be a really conise and insightful video, hope this dosnt come off to harsh, otherwise this video is fantastic and i admire how much work you put into it !! :) ❤❤
I like how Otto's picture is labeled "Who's this douchebag?"
Also I like how you present us with a sort of civil war within Nowhere itself; The eldritch Thin Man, the one who holds up the system, and the vain rebel sorceress, The Lady, who wishes to acquire power for herself only, and with everybody else caught in between.
That would make for an awesome fanfic, to be honest.
Little Nightmares: Civil War, coming to you in theaters!
Hey, shout out to you my guy. The work you put into this video is incredible and not easy that's for sure. Keep it up bro.🤗
Thanks a ton! I'm really glad you liked it.
I plan to go hard into the next one once I get my new computer 😎
You deserve so many more subscribers and likes. I wish you the most success on UA-cam and in life.
Thank you ^^
I said why don't we ever get to play the enemies backstory like the geisha or thin man.
Nowhere responded "You Did"
Dude u deserve so many more views man underrated fr
wow this is really good :0 i think you’d enjoy looking into guilty gear lore since ur really good at explaining things and guilty gear’s story is notoriously convoluted
so hyped for the 3rd game I found this golden video this is amazing!
Oh my god... one of the 3 fans of LN in the world... finally...
It's such a good series and I had been wanting to do an overarching lore video for so long, I'm really happy it's finally getting shown to other fans of the games
finally a new well detailed little nightmares lore video
God dam. Havent even finished it and i love it
Thanks ^^
AWESOME VIDEO ESSAY helped break lnm lore down for my puny little brain hehe... i am very glad you understood the negativity surrounding ai imagery as well haha, i got nervous when i first saw... but this was so so incredibly made, i can really really see how much care you put into the creation of this !!! 3 am as im finishing this right now and it was so worth it. (also oh my god, homestuck references. YAY!)
God this has unimaginable quality, how could I not subscribe.
Thank you ^^
Now when I think of it Pigtails (spoon) girl from comics could be Noone (maybe) and therefor be Alone from LN 3
IIII dunno about that.
It is possible that she could be Alone from the third game, but we know a bit about her story. After the doctor grabbed her and ultimately killed her, she resurrected inside the prison cell again. Those tallymarks I initially thought were days she'd been trapped were actually probably counting the number of times she'd resurrected.
Ultimately, we can go there in LN 2 and if we do, there's a teleperson of her standing next to the hole, so the thin man eventually found her and carted her off to the tower, which cut off a big chunk of her soul, and I doubt she'd have come back after that, she probably wound up as another one of those TV viewer monsters in the end.
Also since noone's story takes place after LN1 (since she found six's raincoat) that couldn't be noone.
Alone is possible, maybe, it'll depend on if thin man always perma killed or if he only tried to perma kill six though, that's sorta up to individual interpretation
