After over 3 months of time spent studying Nowhere, I've identified all the major monsters, their motivations and powers, and even how this world of nightmares, Nowhere itself, is structured and works. After going over every game, DLC, game-related audio series, twitter description, and developer interview relating to the Little Nightmares universe I believe I've managed to make some sense out of this universe which is starved a proper explanation, and now, through memes, skits, and deep dives, I've come to tell you the complete story and lore of the Little Nightmares series.

Honestly this video was a little nightmare to produce in and of itself, from equipment failure, to people dropping out; from eye surgery, to files getting corrupted I've experienced almost everything going wrong that COULD go wrong; it took months of near-constant work to finish this video and get it out to all of you today, so if you enjoy it, PLEASE subscribe and share this video with your friends.

But don't stop there, this project could NOT have happened without the incredible work done by all the people who were involved. Their links and information is below and some of them are still very new to making content, so having support from all of you lovely people would really mean the world to them, and by supporting all of us we'll be able to make more projects like this, and get them to you sooner.

As you can see some of them also don't make content at all, they just got involved in this project out of sheer goodwill alone, and then proceeded to do incredibly well just out of the kindness of their hearts. If you especially liked their performances, I'm sure some nice words in the comments would go a long way for them.

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 <3 I’m looking forward to future projects >:)

Maybe the real little nightmare was the ai art used along the way.

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

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

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.

I'm glad to have found another person as obsessed with Little Nightmares as me.

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.

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

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.

This series has had me in a chokehold for around 3 years now. So glad to see another fan.

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! <3

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

@laraprisma6381 3 months ago

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!)

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.
