Game Questions! (Spoilers)
Does anyone have theories on these? I know there are tons of threads about theories, but none address the specific ones i have xD

This has SPOILERS for those that haven't played the game yet!

1, What is Six?

I hope this is explained in the upcoming comics, but what do you guys think she actually is? Is she the LIttle Nightmare? She definitely doesn't seem human in her abilities, even if she resembles one. When she devours something, it lays in a black puddle and shadow Six is seen nearby, which leads to 2...

2. What are the shadow Sixes?

3. Who is the hanged man?

I really do want to know who he is, and how he plays into all this! I've heard theories that he is related to the Janitor, that he is Six's father. What do you think?

4. What are the Chefs / Janitor?

The Janitor and the Chefs are definitely not human, or don't seem to be. The chefs are confirmed wearing masks, but what are they then?

5. What are the Nomes?

I've heard theories on this, that they are the souls of the children being eaten, or they are original inhabitants on the Maw.

6. What is the shoe monster?

You never see it, and I'm curious as to what it is. Is it just a monster, to chase you? Or something more...

7. Are you related to the Lady?

I've heard some say she is Six's mother, due to a picture that is in her room. but in a sneak peek of the upcoming comics, we see that there are lots of whatever creature Six is, in raincoats. So I can't be sure this is a picture of Six herself

8. And what is the Maw? What is its purpose?

THe official info of the Maw says that the Guests arrive and never leave. What happens to them? Why do they come on board to eat, and probably die since they never leave the ship? Is the Lady feeding on their souls? Maybe the gluttony and fattening up makes the souls better?

9. What is this thing? D=

it doesn't look quite like a child, its head is very elongated

what do you all think?

5. I don't have the slightest clue of what they are but i'm (slightly) sure that they once worship/had affectionate feeling for The Lady.

I say this because in the twin chefs chapter, before you get to see the first part of the kitchen there is an underground secret room that only nomes (or similar size creature) could come in. And in the room there's this tall portrait of The Lady, breakable statue and a sealed letter. It's almost like an altar or tiny shrine

7. I'm not sure if Six is related to The Lady, but one thing i'm somewhat certain is that Six know of The Lady's existence and vice versa.

It's shown in the preview of comic #1 in the page where The Lady takes off her mask. Six was pondering what has The Lady seen and hide.

As for The Lady, in the little nightmares official website, part of The Lady's description is as follows ", and now this rumour of an escaped child threatens everything."

I can't be certain if it was truly Six or someone else who escaped so i'll leave the theorizing to you.

8. In The Lady's character description, it states that "Amidst the chaos of the world outside, The Maw is the only place that makes sense".

Now the description may hint that the world outside is somewhat apocalyptic. But again it could hint into something else entirely.


As for the rest of your question, i don't think that there is an answer as of now, we'll just have to wait till all 4 comics are published

My assumption is that Little Nightmares is somewhat based on Japanese Folklore about shapeshifters such as 'Kitsune' (fox) and 'Tengu' (bird-man goblin). SIX is one type of 'Kitsune' or fox spirit aka shapeshifter manifestation/possession (clues: fox and tengu masks?). She could also be the daughter of 'The Lady' or not.

The shadow SIX is most likely some type of Kitsune since it's supposed to be a spirit. In order to survive in the physical world, they need sustenance and feed depending on how/who they manifested/possessed.

The hanged man I'm guessing is a human seduced/tricked by The Lady and gave birth to a child (SIX?) but he ultimately discovered that 'The Lady' is a fox-human (shapeshifter) and committed suicide?

The Chefs/Janitors could be guardian Kitsunes bound to serve The Lady or mother of all Kitsunes? No idea what the shoe monster could be...

The comic picture with SIX and 5 others in yellow raincoats have balls of fire or white spheres above them. This convinced me that they are Kitsune balls used for focusing their abilities. Also, Kitsunes don't use their real names as it can be used against them.

The guests could be under a spell (Kitsunes use mind control). Kitsune feed on elements and souls. The Maw is probably a realm or an illusion. There are more than one Kitsune, and they are capable of creating them.

Read about Kitsunes, it's interesting. Though I could be wrong about all this. Lol :hee:

Favorite food of kitsune is a fried tofu, not a human meat.

In Japanese mythology, other demons like to feast on meat - Oni and some evil ghosts

There are different types of Kitsune (good and bad). Besides, the devs could have put their own spin on it. Also, there are Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese versions if I'm not mistaken with some stating it originated in India. It's a folklore. :pdpff:


To reiterate, I could be wrong with my assumptions.

Good or bad, Foxes are tricksters, not cannibals. They cause troubles to humans in other ways (and sometimes their target is not very good humans: greedy merchants and proud or boastful people)

I"m really hoping the comic series answers some questions about the world and the people in it. I'm not so sure on the Kitsune thing, but who knows what's going on other than the devs?

Same. Any idea where to purchase it? :kimikat: There are different interpretations of Kitsune mythology online. A few online source mentioned 'The Lady' but it could just be a coincidence. Indeed, only the devs know for sure.


Also, I read in one of your recent replies that you didn't get the Tengu mask. I have an extra code if you fancy one. :pdsmile:

Gotcha. I can wait. Thanks for the info.

Add me. The Tengu mask code (pic) will be under my Artworks. You can unfriend me after you get the code. :nicekitty:

You're welcome! I've been keeping them bookmarked so i remember to go get one of them on the 31st. Probably the digital one, for instant gratification and cheaper =P

Alright i will do that, thank you again

Ugh i don't know if i should get this game because i hate playing as a human in games and i'm not sure if Six is one but I'm leaning on that she isn't. I know the "monsters" are human though and thats fine but Six herself is what i'm worried about.

if she is human, she's one with mystical powers. Not sure exactly what she is, but she's ambiguous enough that she can be whatever you think.

I am thinking the children in the game, including SIx, are not actually human, but rather something else. Six, for example, is the size of a toddler to the monstrous people in the game, and yet she's definitely older than that, and malnutrition wouldn't make her and the other children so small they can fit through mouse holes. So my money is on something human-like, but not human exactly

Yea , i've been leaning on humanoid but not quite human and your response brings some sense of relief but i think the developers might have said she is a human in another thread so this makes me even more worried.

they've also said she has no confirmed gender, but then say she's a 'she' other times. I think they like to keep mystery and vagueness alive, and i'm not convinced that Six or the other children are human.
