The Sounds of Nightmares - Chapter 1: The Workers in the Walls 

After listening to this, I wouldn’t mind reading a Little Nightmares novel, it would be so good!

What I find interesting about this is that it flips the entire genre of Little Nightmares on its head. Usually, it portrays its story with great visuals and no words. This is the opposite.

The name Noone is so cool to me because it sounds like “noon” but spelled like “no-one” This whole thing is so cool

This... is by far the best Media a game has ever done for it's own lore. And it's going to be so underappreciated. Cinematics are great but this hits different in everyway good. Also as a creepypasta fan and that been a massive thing you would think horror games would of tried this, thank you Little Nightmares for doing so.

I don’t think people realize just how creative this actually is. We’re listening to a podcast for a video game lol… that’s so sick imo.

I’m really hoping that Little Nightmares really aren’t dreams at all and that Noone’s nightmares are actually real and she has some sort of connection to travel to this other world in her sleep rather than the entire franchise being one big dream and Six is just some average kid in the real world. Maybe in LN3 the characters could travel to the real world or something and meet Noone. Also, I would like to speak to the parents about why they named their kid Noone.

"It's so pleasant to have an adult in the room actually trying to help these kids... when's he gonna start getting creepy?" "Sweets for my sweet." "There it is." 🤦

Personal theory but I think noone “dreams” are visions of the future this series predates everything

I'm kind of wondering if the young child with the goop on his hair was the Runaway Kid, because it was said that the woman put a chain from her dress onto him so he could be dragged away, and the Runaway Kid (in the DLC) has a chain around his ankle.

Can't wait to cozy under a blanket later tonight and listen to these first couple chapters! I'm craving anything Little Nightmares related.

I can't wait for RU-vidrs to animate her nightmares!!!

My little sister loves horror and especially has a huge spot in her heart for the Little Nightmares games, I started using this as her bedtime story and she knocks out on the spot and sleeps like a baby, she absolutely loves it

This really reminds you that kids are going through this with their doubts and thoughts as stuff go on.

SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE AN ANIMATED SERIES OF THESE PODCASTS

Noone's British accent sounds adorable. ♥️♥️♥️

Anyone get the Magnus Archive vibes from this? It's so good. I can't wait to hear more.

The last part of the dream sent literal chills down my spine

So…this implies, from what I’ve gotten…that little nightmares is, in fact, a series of dreams from children in a psychiatric hospital or something like that? Edit: Right, I understand I was wrong. If you see something from two months ago you shouldn’t feel entitled to reply just to say “you’re wrong.”

THEORY TIME: Okay, maybe I'm not the only one but I imagined Auto as the Thin Man and Noon as Six the whole time. Noon and Six both woke up in a strange place, sound almost exactly alike (grunt wise), and also befriend beings that guide her. “Noon” and “six” on a clock face are also adjacent to one another (peculiar since they describe scaling a clock tower). Perhaps this “CiCi” Auto speaks of is actually Six and this new girl is someone else entirely? Auto however is very mysterious just like Thin Man yet both have a solid fascination for “traversing through space-time” (one actually performing it and the other having a physical illusion painting). To further cement the theory, Auto names his patients after numbers according to his video log, although Noon isn't the 12th patient, Noon and Six are both number names - coincidence??? The place Noon describes also sounds very similar to the Maw and that's vital, although the Maw is a place, it has pronounced features that characterize it more like a creature. The many “interconnected rooms” “unnoticed workers” “gears” and “noises” are more than enough to connect the two. The “rotten meat smell” was a dead giveaway to me also! She then describes children like figures that scurry about which reminded me of Nomes especially ones that operated the furnace in the DLC. The woman in charge with the dress is undoubtedly a reference to The Lady, especially with her “skin tied back” “black eyes/smile” and the humming which started during her part…. So far this is an amazing start to the audio series and has completely invested me back into the LN world and lore. So pumped for LN3!!!

The acting, sound effects, and music are perfect! I'll await more! Edit: interesting, so are farryman Appears, and he knows noon is here! He may be more important than we originally thought. And those glass jars he was next to, maybe a hint for the LN3, eh? BUT the big thing is that the world of the LN is separate from their (or our) world, and somehow, noon (who doesn't seem to be a child, ether being a tween or young teen) got there. What does this say of mono and six? And the other children? Maybe nothing, maybe everything. The nun (thier might be others like her) is what I'll call this master of the stone giant (a gaint clock prison), a torturer, maybe? Discipline officer? (all correct) And those shadows workers might be bigger versions of the shadow children, fearful of the light..... maybe for other reasons.

THIS. IS. INCREDIBLE. I was listening to it In the middle of the night, lying in bed, and, God, I felt every tense moment. I literally shivered with fear when such moments came. And it was a huge relief when she said, "And then I woke up." I'm sure that's exactly what the creators wanted, and they definitely succeeded. I applaud!

I hope this becomes a full audiobook when enough chapters release.

Being able to imagine the scenario in my head while being told the story was cool

Otto sounds like a creep in that last line 💀

I wonder if these kids get transported to another world, the Little Nightmares world, when they go to sleep. Thats why whenever we die in game, the character gets surprised and can die multiple times, just like a dream. This may be why the adults all look disfigured and are out to get the kids. Its not the "real" world.

I got completely immersed in this story, I did not expect something like this from Little Nightmares but i'm pretty grateful that this is here

Interesting that the councillor is called Otto. It’s a name, but also could be a reference to the names of other little nightmares characters. Six means six, mono is Latin for one, and Otto is Italian for eight.

I may regret this comment later but it was nice to see an adult be good to a kid. The counselor SEEMS like the first adult in this series who isn't trying to hurt the kids.

i would actually listen to this on an old radio while drinking tea

Maybe the events of the games are dreams, but in the lovecraftian kind of way instead of just made from childrens' minds. Their minds transcending beyond the physical plane into all types of worlds is a common thing in those stories. This chapter is even named "The workers in the walls", similar to Lovecraft's "The rats in the walls"

I find it cool that it starts to hint at hits own lore like the ferry man

Given that this is the first episode in the podcast series, I wonder if Noon’s nightmare is an anticipation of the first level in the game.

Ppl be sayin they screwed up making the ln universe a set of connected dreams from childrens minds. But i think this is a smart move from bandai namco. It makes us realise that not only is all of the ln parts from: very little nightmares, little nightmares 1, little nightmares 2 and little nightmares 3; including maybe the comics, are connected in a universe away from ours that can only be connected by mentally ill kids. It could take any turn from this point and it doesnt lewve the comminity in a hopless and crazing scramble for an answer

This is awesome, it's like a free DLC!! I loved imagining everything like I was playing it!

I wish little nightmares wasn’t so underrated this series will be something amazing in the future

the theme music is wonderful, Tobias Lilja back at it again with another vaguely disturbing banger

This is so cool i hope to hear of mono at some point in this

THERE'S AN AUDIO FICTION SERIES TO PREP US FOR THE LAUNCH OF LN3? COUN'T ME IN

even though it was expected, i'm glad to see a confirmation of tobias returning to do the music again. he did a fantastic job for the first 2 games and im super excited to see what he's made for 3!

ugh this is so good, this type of medium works so well for this series

The way they described this makes it sound like a prison. The workers are the echos of people that used to work there. The circular room is the main chamber and most prisons have courtyards. This is my guess

The Inventor woman sounds like a cool monster tbh

It's amazing how we're hering the voices from people in the little nightmares universe

I'm more scared of the woman's voice that announces it than the story. It gives that eerie creepy feeling and when the music comes...you feel like a landmine is coming...but when it doesn't and her voice gets lower it's amazing and eerie. I love the stories and I love the sounds and I love the eerie woman's voice...she sets up the scenes.

I’m pretty sure that the “huge man in the doorway with a fishing hat and a dripping face” is the ferryman, he fits her description perfectly.

THEORY TIME!! So, if Noone means no one, and we know the setting of the new game takes place in a realm called “The Nowhere” I think we can assume this game will take place within Noone’s nightmares. The stone giant mentioned here seems to have a lot in common with the giant baby doll in the trailer. I wonder if we’ll be able to go inside it and see the workers and the Chain Lady in LN3. The workers remind me of the Viewers from LN2, with their lack of faces and hive-mind-like behavior. Maybe this Stone Giant character is somehow the embodiment of the Signal Tower with the workers actually being claimed Pale City residents, now helping the Tower claim even more victims. As for the tortured souls within, my guess is that those are the previous inhabitants of Necropolis that we see have been made stone by the baby. Perhaps they must undergo some kind of torture before they too will become workers. The friend of Noone here is a tricky one to theorize on due to the lack of general detail. I will say that it might be Six because that’s the only character in the games that has some kind of gender-confusion (seriously NAMCO, is Six a girl or non-binary?). Though the grunt we hear in this podcast when Noone’s friend is caught by the Chain Lady sounds sort of like Mono. Edit: Sorry, Six isn’t actually non-binary, so this part of the comment is probably unlikely, especially with what we learn towards the end of this chapter about mutual dreaming. Thank you, repliers. The last thing I have to say is that I might be completely wrong and that every character here is brand new and has never been seen before. While I would appreciate seeing a horror game bring in new characters instead of refusing to let go of the old ones (*cough cough* FNAF), this podcast was made to help answer some of our questions about the world of LN, and I hope we see at least one or two familiar faces during the upcoming game. Edit: Oh yeah, also the man with the fishing hat is probably the Ferryman. Sorry, forgot that one. Nice to see him finally do something in this series.

For this chapter (I’m writing everything important in a notebook) I believe that the nightmare takes place in the school. This is because of the woman in the courtyard and the children who look like shadows, the fake children are all suffering from working from the looks of it, plus the child that helps Noone escape could be Mono or The runaway kid. Another interesting theory is that this story could possibly take place in our world as Otto explains that painting is a representation of time and space, this could explain the signal tower and the world that Little nightmares takes place in. The characters we are playing as are having a nightmare because the tower is the being that’s making them experience this. It would also explain why we don’t see anyone caring for them and where all the adults are tall and monstrous, this world that we are seeing is a nightmare world.

Six could be one of the numbered children 2:30

Heard this on spotify and is currently up to episode 6(last episode😢) I am absolutely speechless, I love little nightmares and i love this series!! Honestly i hope someone makes an animated series of this😂

Really looking forward to the art people are gonna draw from this.

From what i understand the signal tower (or whatever is the entity behind it) is "transporting" children in the Nowhere World when they are asleep. I wonder what happens to the children in the Real World when they die in the Nowhere World.

"Referring to children by numbers." 2:32 Six: Am I a joke to you? Edit: 66 likes?! Mum I'm famous!

The “thing” inside Noone the woman hungered for, I wonder if it’s her fear?

This is super intersting yet super cool, i love it

Hmmm. A man with a dripping face and a fishing hat… sounds familiar… OH MY GOD ITS THE FERRYMAN!!!!

I love how the intro song is the most replayed, it really is just that good

re-listening to this little masterpiece now that halloween is closing in again.

This is beautiful and I want to animate it

Not too far in, but I’m already loving this, the choice of actors and sound design are fantastic, the audio so crisp! It really feels like we’re listening into a conversation with these people in an actual room

is this gonna document the nightmares we go through in the game ? from this im getting some fisherman or something

Can't believe little nightmares 3 will have co op multiplayer 😮

Это так прекрасно. Я так люблю все что связано с этой потрясающей франшизой❤❤❤

This is an amazing expansion to the franchise. I loved the writing and the sound design it offered such an immersive experience. This is such a unique view of the little nightmares universe with it being purely audio instead of visual. I can’t wait to listen to more👌

Re listening for heartbreak. It's also being nominated in the webby awards, so go vote!!!

They should make a Little Nightmares movie. Dude, it’s not even funny. They should make a movie. Like, the MUSIC in it. The lore, everything. I played BOTH games, both 1 and 2. I got to both endings in each DLC’s. I am not joking, they should make a movie!

The theme song hits hard!🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

As a collector of survival horror games, I really appreciate this.

Cool nightmares but I have almost no idea how this world connects to Little Nightmares, and I'm scared of the games being "just dreams" now. I hope they have something up their sleeve

Ok so no joke, this was so good and put me into the story so well that after listening I went to get some water and I SWEAR a worker appeared on the end of my couch. I was about to drop kick that bro.

I can't get pass how well this story make me see what the characters are seeing and feeling, I would love to have a novel around this on my book shelf.

I see where some are coming from saying they’d be upset if the world of Little Nightmares is just a dream land for these children in the mental ward and isn’t real, as that’s a very typical route for horror stories to go with and so far Little Nightmares has been a unique and refreshing storyline so that would suck a bit, but I really don’t think that’s what they’re getting at here.

In concept art for Little Nightmares II, there's a drawing showing the Thin Man sitting at a table with a lamp, writing some stuff on paper while a child sits in front of him. Many interpreted this image as Thin Man being a detective before the world warped... _but what if he was a counsellor?_

I absolutely love this podcast and its story, but I am having a hard time following along with what the characters are saying and I was curious if you were planning on adding captions and/or subtitles at all. It's fine if you're not, but it would be nice if you were to so then myself and others that are also listening and are having the same problem could have a better experience and understanding to what is happening. Can't wait to continue listening to this and I hope everyone will have a beautiful nightmare!

I could not be more thrilled! Already hooked to the podcast and am egearly awaiting the third game! Bandi Namco said they saw Little NIghtmares as a flagship franchise and they're delivering!

I've come here after finishing LN2 and listening to The Magnus Archives, and this is so good!!! I had fun listening to Noone's story, and Otto's voice is so nice? Loved hearing One Step, Two Step during the shadow segment ❤❤

at first i thought the nightmare idea was cheesy, but instead of it being “just a nightmare, nothing matters.” they describe it as mutual dreaming, meaning noone isnt the only one experiencing these. making it a lot more meaningful. they most likely mean something as well, so i actually kind of love the idea now lol, excited to see where it goes!

My Theory is that the World that little nightmares takes place in (apparently called "The Nowhere") is an alternative world either acessed by dreaming & possibly even CREATED by our nightmares. The only non-hostile entites found within the Nowhere are Children or beings derivative of them like the Gnomes. This leads me to believe that Human children are not Native to Nowhere, as they do not fit into the society Nowhere operates under, its why the Teacher teaches Dolls, its why everybody freaks out when Kids are present. Children are not a natural occurrence in this world, they're pests and delicacies to be gobbled up.

Nooo no no no. I really hope they don't go the route of there being a "real" world, and the little nightmares world is just some dream dimension. One intriguing thing about little nightmares for me is the whole aspect of how the world came to be in the state it's in, how everything functions. This would be ruined, if it was just a "dream world". Accepting the otherworldliness of little nightmares as the sole reality of this world is what makes it so eerie and special, IMHO

I love how this is written. This is like those radio stories I used to hear.

This answered so many questions in my head

Did anyone else get chills when he said "sweets for my sweet" at the end?

This is absolutely insane holy hell❤❤❤

Amazing voice acting. I love the use of background noises and overlayed audio to paint a story.

This was amazing. So excited for more!

FORT WHAT?! Okay, but seriously this is a really good podcast.

I didnt notice the wordplay in Noone's name until i listened to the Spanish dub, where they translated her name as "Nobody"

What if Noone is Six, or the girl who Six inhereted the yellow raincoat from in Very Little Nightmares. Also, is this connected to LN 3?

This is badass. Keep releasing more!! Absolutely love it! Perfect way to continue the lore while we wait for ln3

I am so proud of Little Nightmares! You guys never gave up! I'm very happy for your success!

I loved all 6 episodes and I truly hope we get more episodes perhaps a season 2, Little Nightmares is truly a hidden Gem and I love the world! So Thank You for giving us this gem and I can't wait to play Little Nightmares 3

theory, noone is an incorrect way to say no one that is used often. maybe this ties into the story somehow?

Very well done. Excellent voice acting and writing!

Man i love this franchise

wait i have been a little nightmare fan for SO long how have i just seen this now

This is so much better than I could have imagined. Holy what

Maybe this takes place before little nightmares 2 maybe this is when the granny was the lady

What if this confirms what is happening in the series and that the dreams of people in the same nightmare is actually another world within the nightmares thats why it’s called little nightmares a world we’re nightmares are real

While listening to this while trying to sleep I felt like I was living through what they where saying it was horrific but now I need to listen to every episode while I'm in that awake but yet sleep state it's strange but interesting

I have depression and probably comorbidity of mental disorder, how little nightmare's reminds me and taught me about how we try to face and function, metaphorically as child who try to live and surviving in such cruel and uncaring "society', i guess they take it further and making it as lore and great story, thank you again for the creator

Otto knows more than he lets on I think. I wonder what he knows, or what he’s trying to piece together
