A theory about all 3 little nightmares games
Its all about child abuse. Hold on, Let me explain

spoilers ahead


In very little nightmares, a child chases a seemingly innocent child through a mansion all because she wasn't raised right. And because she doesn't have a good life, means that no one else can. When the girl in white hair at the end of the game is shown, she can be heard crying. Then when the girl in the yellow coat comes along, she chases her and tries to "Obi Wan Kenobi" her. When she finally manages to do it, they both fall into the water. The coat rises up to show the girl has been caught. this is to represent that an innocent kid can be affected by the indirect effects of abuse from someone else's parents.

In little nightmares one, throughout the entire game we see the monsters try to kill us while enjoying a hearty meal of kid meat. and throughout the game, we get hungry too. Well, when six gets hungry in the dining area of the maw, she cant take it and ops to eat the mushroom over the offered sausage. We later find out, in the DLC that the mushrooms are cursed kids. And when six becomes hungry for the last time, she eats the lady. This is shown to have represented the fact that whatever you do to your kid, they'll think it's normal and do it to others.

And for little nightmares 2, It is all about the child's imagination. The hunter is to represent some weirdo in a kid's life. the teacher is to represent a teacher in the child's life that is seemingly out to get them. The doctor is a doctor in the child's life that seemingly want to kill them, and the thin man is the dad. And the dad is abusive. The residents are how the child perceives other adults. The only thing in play is how warped and distorted they are. That is the child's imagination at work. The kid subconsciously knows they are all threats to them, but refuses to do anything about it. So the brain has to warp their imagination to say "hey, this guy's bad. stay away from them." And at the end, mono turns into the thin man in the end, showing that his attempts to escape abuse was in vain and now he will inflict the same on his kids.
