What is the Story? - Little Nightmares | Theories + Review 

Hey everyone, let me know what your theories or speculations are on this game right here in the comments. The dictionaries definition of 'Maw' ( The name of this establishment/ship ) is a gluttonous person or mouth, Also this games working title was "Hunger'. It seems like the overarching theme here is gluttony.

I'm pretty sure there's something in the meat that makes people go insane. Notice how Six always waited till the last minute to eat something, maybe she knew what the price was for eating? A lot of her eating habits started going weird when she ate the raw meat. She went from bread, to raw meat, to the rat, to the gnome, then the lady, and then souls...

Human meat is high in calories. The more calories you eat, and not burn, the bigger you get. The adults have been fed the children meat, so that they would become fat, ugly and crazy. This would explain why they want to attack you, because they have become mad with cannibalism. The chefs prepare the food, as they have been threatened by the Lady, who would kill them if they don't prepare the children meat. The reason they don't eat all the food like the other adults, is because they aren't like them. They just wear suits to make themselves look like them, as the chefs serve the adults, and if they didn't wear the suits, the adults would attack the chefs. The kid-napper has been lied to. He is blind, so he cannot tell what meat he is preparing. For all he knows, he's preparing baby pork, or baby beef. As for looking after the children, he does not know that these children are being fed to the people, and as for trapping them, he believes he is trapping pests, and shipping them along to be disposed of. The lady's power only works on people who make eye contact with her, and since the kid-napper/long arm guy is blind, it is ineffective on him, and the lady knows that, that is why she put him at the lowest part of the Maw, the prison/nursery. The lady knows that the adults will become fat, crazy and ugly when they over-eat all the human meat, and she is doing this so that she can be the only pretty one, the only sane one, and she would oppose anyone who would even seem in the slightest bit, sane or pretty. That is where Six comes in to play. The lady realized that Six, her child, could be possibly even prettier than herself, as well as being smart, agile, and exceptionally sneaky due to her size, and the father, or the long, dangly legged man that was hung, knew that she would become mad with envy, and kill the daughter, so he convinced her to send her to the jail/nursery to stay there forever... or until she was fed to the people. Knowing this, the father decided to take that risk. The father then shortly after, broke Six out of the prison/nursery, and took her to a little room, at the bottom of the Maw, where he told her the plan to take the Lady out of rule, as she was beginning to act like a tyrant, and that is what the father feared. After conveying the plan to Six, the Lady came down unexpectedly, so he had to improvise. He put Six in the suitcase, and threw it out into a little area, and hung himself, because he wouldn't be able to handle the loss of his love, or the grief if the plan failed, because the lady would find out that he did it. When Six awoke, she had hit her head on the roof of the suitcase, and developed amnesia, this is why she cannot remember any of the people onboard. She remembered only one thing: The lady must be stopped. that's my theory anyways :P

He forgot to mention the boy who gave her the bread

There should be a movie of little nightmares

This kinda reminds me of Spirited away, in a sense a little girl loses her way through a restaurant and must "fit in" in order to find her parents which who have turned into pigs for the spirits to eat. Just saying, similarities are there.

the kid probably watched a really violent episode of Attack on titan and then went to sleep and the entire thing was a nightmare

This girl reminds me of Coraline tho She looks like a runaway from a parallel universe although Six is an escaping girl from the Maw

this game needs a prequel that tells how six got there

I have a few thoughts and mini-theories. Here's the first: the main staff is made up of the Geisha, the two chefs, the janitor, and, if you count the costumed bloke from the convention, the bellboy. That's a total of five characters. I don't think it's coincidental her name is Six, if you see my point, which leads me to believe that either she did work there at some point (like in the concept art) or that she really is the Geisha's daughter. The Geisha is extremely vain, and is insecure about her beauty to the point where she smashes all the mirrors in her quarters, covers some of the finer photos on the wall, and serves hoards of extremely fat and ugly guests on a regular basis. I think it's gone even a step further from that: could it be that the staff members are wearing ugly costumes to make them appear uglier to her? It would certainly make sense with the chefs, where they lift and scratch underneath their faces, and with their shapely necks looking particularly unattached from their backsides. And it would definitely make sense with the bellboy, if the bellboy had removed his wax-dripping costume and hung himself as the regular person he really was. Not certain about the janitor... maybe he was disfigured on purpose? Or was he that ugly baby featured in the photos? I also have an idea that the bellboy was actually a security guard of sorts. Since there was a camera linking directly to the inside of the Geisha's quarters, I'd think that maybe this fact was kept secret from her, since I can't fathom someone so insecure about image to have a camera trained on them while they brush their hair in front of a smashed mirror. I think the mirror in the guest bathroom was one of those mirrors where, on one side, you only see yourself, but from the other side, you're looking through it. Like a spy mirror, or something. (Can't remember what they're called.) Also I don't think that Six was "sent", but rather "banished". I am far more convinced about the "Six is too beautiful for the Geisha to handle" theory, especially with those photos of a little girl in yellow on the Geisha's bedroom wall. Also, keep in mind that the Geisha always has a white powdered face and heavy makeup. Is that a mask? And no, I don't mean metaphorically. Is that a physical mask? If so, could the ugly baby in those photos you mentioned be the Geisha herself? That would certainly explain her insecurity from the get-go. Sorry if that was a little long. Those are my theories that I thought of after watching your video.

I just saw it at the end of the video, but as you are running from the gluttons in the restaurant... look at the picture on the back wall of the hallway at 13:02 It looks like... a mother and daughter?

Is that chefs used to be conjoined twins? Because first at their room we see their photo cut into half . And at the geisha office . On the wall there is a picture of conjoined baby?

"we need a DLC" little did he know

as the game progresses, you start to get hungry and eat. as the game goes on through the incredibly short story, the things you start to eat become more grotesque as you go on like how it starts off with normal food and then progresses to a rat, a small mushroom person and then the woman. i started to wonder who was the real monster and looking at the title of the game it is called little nightmares. you are small compared to everyone making the game have a sense of futility and danger but as you continue to eat, you become more of a monster yourself. when you finally gain your power after devouring the woman you become... the little nightmare...

What about the monster in the pile of shoes that chases you early in the game I feel like everyone forgot him/her

if they turn this into a movie, I hope Tim burton dose it

13:10 “It sort of eats you alive” Great choice of words 👍🏻 *remembers the gnome getting eaten*

Here's the story. The full story, as far as I'm concerned. The mother sent six to the prison cells because she realized that six's beauty was beginning to surpass her own. Six fights to get back to her mother, I believe in revenge. After she kills her mother, she inherits the Maw, and takes her place. Now, lemme explain everything along the way. The two cooks, the janitor, and the wax bellman are relatives to the mother. They, along with everyone, are decent people. They are forced to wear masks so that they are not sent to the prison like Six was. The wax bellman removed his costume (maybe to take a stand against the mother) but was hung for his crime. That's why he appears normal, with a clean black suit on, and not the mopey clothing others wear. According to the mother, all the children that are born beautiful are sent to the prison. The janitor, who is blind, was tricked into thinking he is merely killing rats. Hence he name "janitor". The cooks are just two relatives who are decent, but wear the fat masks to appease the mother. Finally, the wealthy fat people. They represent the upper class who are spoiled, and rich enough to afford a pleasure trip on the Maw. The mother fattens them up, making their life force "juicier", then consumes their souls when the time is right. The Maw runs on this cycle for ll of eternity. And finally, Six's name is "six" because of two reasons. #1: the sixth's time she was starving, was when she ate her mother's body. This symbolizes it was her destiny from birth that she would overtake her mother. And #2: she is the sixth relative in the initial family. Any questions or plot holes I left out, feel free to comment. And please like this comment because I spent 20 minutes writing it.

The Bellhop character is actually Esteban Julio Ricardo Montoya de la Rosa Ramírez

Anybody else get "Spirited Away" vibes...??

If Six is the daughter of the Lady, wouldn't she have inherited her powers already without having to consume her in the very end

Every explanation video I go to never says anything about the man in the beginning who hung himself, which I'm 90% sure is the "dad". Which you pointed out. also a little passage from "The Maws" description on their website which has a bunch of information on the games characters and places. "The Maw arrives every year. Always at the same time, but never in the same place, it creeps and crawls and buries its claws deep beneath the glistening water. And there it sits in vast silence. Waiting. Soon after, they start to arrive. The guests. The monstrous, sweating, hungry guests. All seams bursting, bodies bulging, eyes dead with boredom. They shuffle up the gangway and into the mouth of The Maw. And then they are no more. For none of those that enter have ever returned to tell the tale. At least, not yet…" My theory is kind of like the first one but her name is Six because she's 6th child from the lady and the hanging man. In the ladies quarters you see pictures of more then one child in the same dress, then another with an uglier looking face in the middle above the weird eye, then another beside the slender man looking portrait. Then in the bedroom you see the picture of Six covered in her raincoat, and the other not covered. Beside the one not covered you can clearly see an outline where Sixs picture would of hung. My guess is the lady had 2 favorites but started to hate Six because she was getting more and more beautiful. The other children were cast down into the prison.

At 13:02 in the video there is a picture of the little girl and the woman. I thing that supports the mother theory.

The main question is y r the kids so small???

thegamingbeaver i have something to tell you when you eat the bread the meat or whatever it is the rat and the nomes when you look around there's a shadow of six

Hey Beaver maybe she is called Six because the picture had 5 people maybe she is part of th group and is the sixth one. :)

You know how The Lady has a power to take souls from people, and then Six has that power. Well, what if those souls go into the porcelain dolls that if you smash release a black cloud? What if that black could IS the soul?

Wait a second!!! Maybe she (Geisha) made the people look Fat to make herself feel better because the daughter is more beautiful than her....

12:06 is it just me or does the chef look like he is chopping up the bellboys face??

this game remind me soooooo much about "spirited away" (the ghibli movie ) >_>

OMG I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS..... Okay so the people come and get fattened up not expecting to get their souls taken by the overlord the only reason she doesn't kill them right away is so when they are fat enough she takes their souls leaving dead bodies piled around.....Therefore plenty of food for the next guests...They take their bodies and turn them into meat and food and the cycle goes on and on.....The children i suppose are like extras in case they don't have enough food they use them and make some more sausages or something like that.....I feel like this makes a lot of sense behind the fattening them up theory...

why does this remind me of the movie Spirited Away?=

About the picture with the Geisha and the 4 silhouettes, I have a pretty simple theory: They are all the previous owners of the Maw, and possibly the mother, grandmother etc of the Geisha, just like how she is the mother of Six, and Six must kill the Geisha to take over the Maw. Maybe the Geisha has the mirror that isn't broken because she knows that Six must kill her and take over the Maw, almost like a family tradition. Edit: My friend just had the idea that the Geisha's real name is Five, and the other silhouettes are Four, Three, Two and One. It started off as a joke but it makes sense.

I have a theory about the gnomes. Imagine if they were souls of the eaten children. That would explain why one of them just lay down and sleeps or is dead, becaus no soul has taken over it yet. It would also explain why six hug them, becaus they are so upset and scared after being eaten once so six has to calm them down with a hug. I know this is a pretty crazy theory but it pops into my head every time I watch a little nightmars video.

Because of the restaurant chapter i keep thinking it gives me very spirited away feels lol. like a super dark demented version

I just played it for the first time. My perspective was that it was meant to be looked at figuratively rather than literally. Ofc I could be wrong. You see the entire process of how they get their "product." They raise it (the children) in a controlled environment. Then you see them catching those who try to escape and preparing the meat all the way up until it goes to the table for consumption by gluttonous/greedy caricatures of people. Our government/society controls our upbringing. We're all forced through the same pipeline of public education where the state dictates what they want you to know and how to think. Through highschool and college there is a focus on becoming a product. You try to make yourself as marketable as possible in order to appeal to what the businesses and corporations want instead of pursuing what you want and at the end of it we're all the same. Just processed meat prepared for their consumption. The kids who try to escape in the game are caught and those in real life who decide not to go through with college or a profitable/traditional career are reprimanded or convinced to leave their dreams behind. I'm probably looking way to into it though and they just wanted to make a creepy game 😅

Oh, six is nine. I thought she was six 🌚

This kind if reminds me of Spirited Away if you think about it. If you have ever seen the movie maybe you will know what I'm talking about.

I just realized with the sort of "sister" theory, with you talking about the geisha being jealous and in the photo there seems to be 5 sisters total (even though four are blacked out their silhouette looks like a geisha), you are the sixth sister. You are six, literally your name, the youngest of them, and they seem to be jealous of the way you look and try to kill you. Just a theory tho.

I believe that Six is a doll (similar to Chucky). When her face is viewed in the light it is very doll-like and there is a strong reference to dolls being collected in the maw.

Really interesting thoughts! There are so many unanswered questions. Things i want to know is, why is everything so big? Or why is six so small? And why did six eat one of the gnomes instead of the sausage? It makes so much fun just to speculate about that. I like this sort of videos! : )

I've looked through over 1000 Japanese yokai and demons and I've put together what I think every single character in the game is (except the chef) and I'm guaranteed about the geisha (lady in black) so how this is gonna work is I'm going to number how likely they are of being the certain demon (1 being the most likely) so I hope you like this (it took me 2 days to make) Six 1. Amanojaku, a small demon that instigates people into wickedness 2. Abura-akago, an infant ghost who licks the oil out of Andon lamps 3. Jikininki, Ghosts that eat human corpses 4. Kubikajiri, Female corpse chewing graveyard spirit 5. Aoandon, The demonic spirit which arises from an Andon lamp at the end of a hyakumonogatari kaidankai The Guests 1. Gaki, Starving ghosts of especially greedy people 2. Yomotsu-shikome, the hags of the underworld The Kidnapper (Janitor) 1. Te-no-me, A ghost of a blind man with eyes on his hands ( this could be why he moves around with his hand because he is clearly blind) Deleted Character (See bottom if confused) 1. Kambarinyōdō, a monk that spies on people using the toilet 2. Hanako-San, A spirit of a young WW2-era girl who haunts restrooms Geisha (lady in black) 1. Hannya, A noh mask representing a jealous female demon (see why at bottom) 2. Datsue-ba, an old woman in the underworld who removes clothes and/or skin of the dead (see why at bottom) 3. Oiwa, the ghost of a woman with a distorted face who was murdered by her husband 4. Hikeshibaba, an old who extinguishes lanterns 5. Arikura-no-baba, a woman with magical powers 6. Amazake-babaa, An woman who asks for sweet sake and brings disease 7. Mu-onna, the nothing woman Explaining the geisha theory I believe the geisha is Six's mother and the geisha isn't beautiful but six is, so she ships six off to be eaten, so therefor the geisha is jealous of six and wears a mask that's why I think the geisha is a Hannya It's clear that the geisha runs the ship so she probably runs the food I.E eating the kids, if you go into the janitor/kidnappers room he has all the kids clothes so that's why I think she could be a Datsue-ba And I already said that I think the geisha isn't beautiful so that's why I think she is a oiwa The deleted character is something the developers showed a costume at a convention with a character in a bellboy outfit with a droopy face, they showed him in a video with him behind a mirror, and in a section of the game you are in a restroom and you have to break the mirror to get out and behind the mirror is a chair with someone supposed to be in that chair he could be watching you from the other side and that's why I think he is a Kambarinyōdō

I think you gotta pick all you’re theories from all the theories videos and put them together (only the best) plus there is a new comic released again about six and there is coming a mini series for little nightmares and there is probably also new content and information about the game that we don’t know yet like another interview and love you’re vids men!

This game reminds me a lot of spirited away in a weird way

Adults represent gluttony, the geisha represents greed, maybe pride, envy or even lust. Also, Six may has that name because greed is the sixth capital sin, and you can see an evolution in Sixs attitude. At first she starts eating a finger, later she eats a rat, then she has the chance to fill her hunger eating a sausage, but instead she decides to eat the little thing with a hat, and she never eats all the foos,only a little part, so she wants more than she needs. At last she doesnt have enough with flesh so she starts eating souls, another sign of her greediness. Also the kidnapper could represent... wrath? due to the fact he lost his arms because his own wrath didnt let he see any further than catching Six. Sorru for my english, hope you understand me.

I think the Geisha makes them wear masks because some or all of them are still more beautiful than her.

I’ve been binge watching all the Theories on this game you made 😁😁 you make this game look so interesting makes me want to play this game!!

Aww beaver I just watched one of your videos since Christmas, it's so cool you have a million subs now

Ideas on the characters: *The Janitor*: Long arms, short legs. F**cking creepy. You only get a shot of the man's legs at the start, making me think the legs of that man are the Janitor's real legs. But... When you pan the camera up you see a whole body. Maybe he was the result of chopped up pieces of meat sewn together -- an accident. His skin is kind of down his forehead, suggesting there was sloppy handwork involved? The geisha seems to be able to take souls, so why couldn't she give them as well? Once becoming alive, the Janitor obtains a new mistress, the geisha. He is ordered to kidnap the children and bring them back to the maw. The chain begins. *The Chefs*: They wear masks of human flesh. They could be jealous of the geisha, and since they work with the dead bodies, maybe they skinned them to make masks for themselves and cover up their true identities. Still no clue. *The Geisha*: I support the theory of the Geisha being Six's mother. When she is killed by Six, the power is passed on, presumably down the family. Also, there is a painting of a woman and a girl, supporting the theory. Maybe the Geisha didn't want her "gift" to be passed on. Maybe she knew what was coming her way, and sent Six away so that didn't happen. The father was aware of his little girl being sent away, and wrote a letter to the Geisha (his wife) complaining, but never got chance to finish it, as he was killed by something. *The Guests*: I think the guests are just hungry cannibals with no f**cking clue what they're doing. Full stop. *The Gnomes*: Ah, the Gnomes. I think they have something to do with the Geisha. Since her gaze and the light petrifies people, they were turned to stone, but due to them being family members, their souls still lived. They changed in shape and size, but were still able to live on. Angered by the betrayal of their own family member, they sought revenge. Six was their chance, so they helped her. By hugging the Gnomes, Six was giving them hope. *Six*: I think Six is the daughter of the Geisha. They could both be demons of some sort. They control souls. Six was sent to stop the Geisha, but was driven insane in the process, therefore failing. HAHAHA, I JUST SPENT FORTY MINUTES WRITING A LOAD OF CRAP, DIDN'T I?

the long arm man is called the janitor

I have a story not theory (could be tho) Remember the hanging body at the start of the game? What if that isnt a body, what if thats actually the JANITOR`S lower part? The lady is the only tall person in the game ( yes i know...the guests are gigantic) But what if the janitor was the tallest? And what if the janitor IS YOUR FATHER? Ok ok i know its sounds stupid..hear me out. We all know the janitor is very disturbing and has freakishly long arms. And the hanging body looks very normal but it is very big! And the only human like creature is the lady. The janitor is very short but there is a theory he can regrow his arms! What if he can regrow his legs too? Maybe its still in the process of becoming long again..what if the lady has recently had it chopped off? What if the janitor used to look normal and tall? My guess is the lady fell in love with him and created Six? The janitor was good at building so he built a little playroom/nursery for Six and her 2 siblings (the 2 chefs) Maybe Six was so pretty and the lady got jealous and wanted to sent her away but the janitor wouldnt allow their child to be sent away or killed. As a punishment, the lady removed his eyes so he would never see six again. Other then no eyes, she removed his legs and hid them where he would never find them. She also cursed him to be extremely ugly. The lady has a power to teleport and suck lifeforces out of people why cant she turn people ugly? Maybe the 2 chefs were the lady`s past children and she cursed them to be ugly too because they were prettier than her. The lady then gave the janitor his job. He thought if maybe if he found six and brought her/him to the lady, maybe she would love him again Whenever the janitor catches you, he would caress Six a little to check if it is Six and when he is sure it is Six, he brings her/him to the lady. Oki thx for reading byeee

When you hear the horn, the island RISES AND GETS BIGGER. THE ISLAND IS THE SHIP.

0:25 "A LITTLE theory video" GET IT? XDDDDD End my suffering.

my theory is a bit weird cause I think this is about a girl going through like anorexia or something. I dont really know how to explain but I think that the game is her personal hell she created for her in her head. Cause you know the lady not able to Look at the mirrow- having bad opinion about yourself. all the FAt creatures and her starving problems.....okay I went a Little too deep I'll stop XD

Never seen any of your videos before. This was great!

We really need a blog for this... this game is amazing and left me with no answer

Six is not the ugly baby on the picture, you can see her face which is not that bad

she ate the gnome because she knew the sosage was made from children

I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS see all the shoes the kidnapper might of before been a shoe maker before he was taken to the ship thing 😱😱😱😱

Ik im late but my theory is that six is a girl who is simply having a nightmare but the nightmare has influenced her reality and the only way to escape is to kill her mother the cooks in the nightmare have ordered the little gnomes to feed six thus while seven tried to give six food but the boy at the start who gave her bread was him while he knew he was in trouble he was good at the start but then when he was captured and turned into a gnome he was trying to fatten up the girl while she knew that she ate the boy but she ate his soul the boys soul was corrupted while he was turned into a gnome and she became more thirsty for food and starts eating souls and gained her powers and when she met the eye (symbol) which is the eye to see reality when she escapes she goes up the stairs which is a pathway to heaven because she has realizen what she has done and decided to end her life Idk if this is accurate but this is what i believe

I think that Six isn't human, maybe she is the geisha daughter but perhaps not. When she hate the gnome she had no reason too, it was outright offering her a sausage. Yet she choose to eat the gnome instead, the customers seem to go insane trying to get six. They push aside food literally in front of them, they fumble over each other as fast as can to get to live prey. I don't think the geisha set Six away because of jealousy, but rather out of fear. She knows Six can eat her and absorb her power, since six is looking for power. Or, Six is corrupted by her rage. She's seen that other children are being captured and harvested for food, so when she killed the customers it was out a kind of revenge. I don't have an actual full story theory, rather I'm just coming out with random possibilities.

I WATCHED THE FULL VIDEO AND THIS IS REALLY SIMULAR TO SPIRITED AWAY.

Here's what I think, So im including the kids story in this one, when you play the kids story it ends with you being turned into a gnome but we also know kids get eaten so maybe the kids that figure out her secrets are turned into gnomes and the kids that grown are eaten but then there's six, I think the gasha is six's mom and the gasha doesn't want to do anything to her bc of that, so she sends her to where you first begin and that's where six lives until she wants to escape. Six also knows her mom has this power to eat souls, so six is scared of her, but six also knows her mom's secret so she goes and defeats her mom with the mirror and eats her so she can turn the tables and in a way eat the ppl who tried to eat her

The art style of this game is so insanely cool. I love it.

If that long armed man came into my house O_O I'd give him a pretty good High Five I won't lie.

This game is amazing because it’s amazing gameplay wise because of the tension and suspense but also story wise because it gives you enough closes to piece together a story but leaves out just enough so you your self have to fill the holes

When you gave your opinion about the game i was like; wow!! I never thought of it that way!!!! Wow!!!!!!!

I have this wacky fan theory that Little Nightmares is set in the same universe as Limbo and Inside, not just because they're similar games but that all seem to resolve around humanity at its worst and paying for it big time.

Six is trapped on the maw which is a ship with monsters that surface every year and decides now is her time to escape

Who are watching this after you've seen the little nightmares two theory?

i think 7 is the "mother's" name bc seven eight nine.......BAHAHAHAAHHAAHAH...

My theory [may not be true] is that since the Lady might be six's mother, Six may have inherited the power of visions and alternate realities from her as seen that whenever Six died, it felt like she just woke up from a vision/dream and she had premonition of the Lady at the start of the game. The power may have subtly guided her through the maw to finish off the Lady since she was a danger to her survival. And the side affect of that power would have been an insatiable hunger that struck at random times and made Six devour anything at hand like the Gnome that she ate. Kind if like how the lady keeps feeding customers, so that she can collect their souls at a later time to keep her power functioning. Still this is just my theory and who knows the lore may be entirely different from this. Still give a like if u agree.

This game is confusing

I HAVE RECENTLY DISCOVERED SOMETHING INTERESTING. in coreyxkenshin latest Little nightmares gameplay, he enters the room to the left where chef follows you.if you look at 13:43 you will see a person sleeping. but the next time you pass by again chef is waking at the figure as if he's getting butchered. they are murdering the quests.....

I think that six is the evil one because in the second game the tall guy trys to stop the loop by taking six into the tv hence the thought that six was causing the loop and was evil. Just an theory tho.

"Little Nightmares" aka Attack on Titan with fat people

Really interesting thoughts there Beaver ! I really enjoyed your playthrough of this game and the game itself which is really athmospheric and beautiful. One thing you haven't thought about was how the suitcase in which Six wakes up on in the beginning of the game actually arrived on the maw and where it originally came from. My theory is that maybe Six's father, who is supposetly the man that hangs himself,brought her to the maw so that she could control the place and get rid of her mother.

I love all of your theories. This game is so cool and deserves to have a whole book written about it lol. My theory is that those monstrous disgusting "people" eating these children may represent how society is eating up childrens innocence? idk that's just what I gathered

The hanging man was sent into the prison because in the room that you found him in, is his bedroom because I saw a pair of shoes his size next to a mattress of some sort that he could of slept on before he was hung.

I bought the six edition and in the comic i got it explains that this hidden character (in the comic named the shadow) is the one who captures the children and sens them to the mall

"kidnapper" is Janitor

Has anyone noticed nobody has really looked into the meaning of the "Maw?" I find that kinda interesting...

This game gave me a Spirited Away vibe because your a child that monsters are trying to eat, a witch like women is behind all of this, you are stuck on a boat/ surrounded by water, and the glutons

1 question why is she so small?

It looks like the one of the prisoners owns the suitcase (the one you spawn in) saying that you were packed by the prisoner.

This game reminds me of Spirited Away. The girl is Sen, the lady is Yubaba, the guests are the pigs, the janitor is the old man in the boiler room, the chefs are no face so on and so forth. At first it wasn't obvious but once I saw the lady and the guests, it clicked almost instantly.

OMG EXACTLY. When you said ''The horn at the end of the game could be more Guests'' is exactly what I was thinking! I thought people would think I'm stupid though, so that's why I didn't comment it, I was telling my sister exactly this sentence: ''Dark ending: the boat horn at the end could be more Guests coming to the Maw.'' And the portrait the people could be The Geisha, The Twin Chefs on the right (or the left whichever side) The Janitor (The kidnapper, or as me and my sister call him ''The Caretaker'') and could even be The Wax Bellman or The Granny, but hey, it's just a theory.

What ARE the gnomes in the first place?

Maybe the Geisha wants to make sure she is the most pretty of them all by forcing all the customers to wear masks..

got 5 more days until this video and looking back at it, it's amazing how all the theories we got now all just, fit together, except for one I am not going to give away cuz it's for YOU, the person reading this comment, to see which theory was wrong, but otherwise, it all fits together. If the game ends, lets hope is doesn't for a while, we will get to theorize even more, and I love theories, so good job people!

Hello 2022. This is how a legendary game theories series was made

pause at 12:02!!! look at the chef's head!!!

I think one of the twins were beautiful and the other one was deformed and probably that's why one of then were covered up.

i was playing the game just recently and in one of the bedrooms that look like it's meant for psychiatric patients theres actually someone who hung them self also. if you climb up the shelf that's closer to the door you can also see a pair of normal looking legs if im not mistaken

omgg i want the next of this game so bad

Something you Should've Said is That The Bellboy Was Digused (not in the red suit, but a handsome Diguse ) To Get the Geicha's Attention, And one Day, (After the bellboy and geicha Were Married or had Kids) The Geicha Found him In His regular cloths and not the Suit, And then Sent him away then he Hung Himself, Then Six Ran away Due to her Father being gone, and one day went To Go Find her Dad or mom, Found his dad Hung, And found his Dissorted Evil mother.

hope they can make a movie for this.

Why did I not watch this years ago!? Now I got confused...cuz I just watch the LN ll

"You are six a non year old girl..." Me:"I thought I was six!"
