It's about time that I show my theories to the world of gamers. In fact, I'm just starting it! Introducing, EID's Super Sunday, where every Sunday, I explain my theories using this website! I'm hoping I can use these theories to explain many things, in movies and video games alike. I also hope that it can bring people together. And remember: You can do this kind of thing yourself. Just don't copy exactly what I do. My Big Hero 6 theory is coming to you Minecrafters next week. Anyways, hope you enjoy!

Now to the game topic. If you didn't know, Little Nightmares is a puzzle platformer about your character, Six, who's trying to escape the Maw, a submarine that feeds monsters, run by monsters and a strange figure named the lady. You have to feed yourself and escape the 4 pairs of bosses in the game. I said pairs. The pairs include: The Twin Chefs, who want to cook you. The Guests, who want to eat you. The Lady, who wants to choke you with her hypnotic powers. And the Blind Janitor, who grabs you, but is currently unknown what happens to you after that moment. You can't kill them; you have to escape them. The only one you can kill is the lady.

So what's the theory? Well, the creators just put all of their childhood fears and turned it into a video game, therefore, you get a game like little nightmares. My theory goes a lot off of this, so remember that this game goes off of no culture inspirations, other than one single detail. What's the detail? Well, you see, some children (I'm not one of them) don't like being around their family or spreaded family, and one of those times is when their spreaded family's around them. it's not that they don't love them, they do. It's just that they would have more fun by themselves (There's not a lot of children with this, "condition". Trust me).Six might be in this sort of genre. My theory is that all the monsters represent a part of Six's family, and that the whole "Maw" thing is just a thanksgiving hangout with Six's' spreaded family.

I already hear the typing in the comments saying "But EID, where's your proof?" Well keep reading this blog because I have a huge load of evidence supporting this topic. You see, there's an article, I think, made by the creators of the game? Or is it from the comic book? I don't know, but it says "Every year, the Maw comes at the same time, but not the same place. The customers come to the Maw, but never leave". The same time different place part is probably referring to Six's family coming in the end of November, but at a different relatives house, or rented house, or something. The never leaving part is saying that they don't come back for a long time. It's just an exaggeration. Plus, in the comic book, you see more than one yellow raincoat kid, like Six. The yellow raincoat represents that they don't fit in to their family. No monster in the game has yellow raincoat on, or any bright clothing at all. They don't fit in with their family. They don't want to be a part of it. Ok, they do, they just don't fit in with it.

This theory also explains the title of Little Nightmares. Little Nightmares. Small nightmares that don't matter. They don't hate. They just are too small to be nightmares. Yet they still haunt Six's dreams. Torturing her. And maybe replacing, in her dreams, her mother with The Lady, her twin cousins with 2 chefs, her crazy uncle with a janitor, and more of Six's family being The Guests. In fact, this is exactly what the game is all about; Six dreaming about the day that her family will come to her house for thanksgiving. But why would the monsters want to eat you in her dream? That represents Six's pain. Yeah. Her pain. And what's with The Lady's hypnotic powers? That's the pressure that Six's mom is putting on her, too much for a person like Six.

But what about the cut scene with one of the chefs sticking his hand literally into his skin and scratching his muscles/real face? That represents the true identity of them. What's truly behind all those stuffing players into microwaves? A friend. A companion. A part of the family. Six see's it; she doesn't allow it in her dreams, though. She only see's a glimpse of it in the dreams.

So that's the theory. I hope you enjoyed. Please diamond, fav, and subscribe if you want to see more from me. Peace out, guys.
