Little Nightmares is a horror laced masterpiece that captivated audiences from around the globe. Following the terrifying journey of Six, try to survive a dangerous environment filled with monsters. The game has been out for several years, so most assume they know everything about the game.
Nevertheless, there are many facts and theories few know about this treasure. A game filled with mystery and secrets is an amazing experience for those who love to explore. Such a game has so many twists and turns that most are unaware of the hidden elements presented. Here are ten things you didn’t know about Little Nightmares.
10 The Gnomes use to be Children
After the full release of the DLC, a truth was revealed after speculation. As one plays Little Nightmares, Six will often come across Gnomes. These Gnomes are also responsible for leaving drawings throughout the Maw. Some of these drawings pointed to the fact that the Gnomes were once children. Eventually, with the DLC, this was proven to be a fact. The Runaway Kid (main character of the DLC) was eventually turned into a Gnome himself when he encounters The Lady.
9 Very Little Nightmares
Very Little Nightmares is a prequel mobile game following the story of a child wearing the signature yellow raincoat. Contrary to Little Nightmares, Very Little Nightmares takes place in a Mansion called The Nest. Fans of the game may not have heard of this puzzle adventure as it is not as well known. Being a separate game with its own story, there are new characters and threats to be faced.
8 Hidden Easter Eggs
Little Nightmares is rich with Easter Eggs that have to lead to many discussions around the game. Some of the most common things players find are the drawings left behind by the Gnomes. These drawings depict past events, secrets, and other things. Shadow Six sightings are also something to be on the lookout for too. A hidden room is also on the list of things to find in the game.
Another interesting Easter Egg to locate is found on a television set. When Six turns on a tv set to distract the Janitor, you can hear a jingle with peculiar lyrics or channels containing mysterious symbols. Honestly, there are plenty of hidden secrets in the Maw people haven’t heard of.
7 Little Nightmare Comics
A fun fact that many do not know about Little Nightmares is that there have been several comics put out. These comics go into some details, like the universe of the series and how Six found themselves at The Maw. Two issues were published several years ago and are still available for purchase in some places.
6 The Masks
In Little Nightmares, players have the option to purchase cosmetic masks for Six the wear. While the masks don’t offer any advantages to Six, they are fun to wear. One mask, however, must be earned. The Rascal Mask is an in-game reward for breaking ten statues placed throughout the game. Those wishing the get the Pakku Mask must purchase Little Nightmares on the Nintendo Switch. Six’s masks are a detail many overlook, but they can be a fun element to all the scary things going on in the Maw.
5 The DLCs
Gamers may see DLCs as a waste of time as they don’t possess the same impacts as the base game. DLCs can also be known for not adding anything to a plot or gameplay. Despite these opinions, the three-part DLC of the Little Nightmares is a perfect addition to the series.
The Depths, The Hideaway, and The Residence DLC’s follow the runaway kid (this is his official title). Not only does it offer similar gameplay, but it also adds information. We are even given a secret that shocked the community greatly. The DLC came along a few months after Little Nightmares released, so not many know about it.
4 The Lady’s Face
The Lady is a mystery from the moment she appears on the screen to the very end. Her motivations are never clear, and her past remains unknown. Despite the lack of information, some fans have managed to paint a decent picture of the Lady’s face for us. There is a moment in the game where the Lady is looking into a mirror land appears old. Despite this initial look, some fans have discovered that the Lady’s face looks young and beautiful. Upon seeing the reflection, most assume that this is her true appearance, but sources would suggest otherwise.
3 The Number of Fan Theories
One of the things that makes Little Nightmares so charming is the countless theories surrounding the lore and characters. Many theories are surrounding many aspects of the game. There are theories that the guests are slaughtered for food, the Lady performed rituals to stay beautiful, and so much more. The number of theories is so staggering that most fans would be surprised by the number of conclusions. However, some theories are better than others.
2 The Original Title
The title, Little Nightmares, is very well suited for this horror game. After a playthrough, some may have even succumbed to a few nightmares themselves. However, this title was not originally planned for the game.
Throughout the game, the main character, Six, suffers from several severe hungry spells. This condition has gotten the child into more than a few problems. Six was even driven to commit some heinous acts. What a lot of fans don’t know is that the original name for the game was going to be Hunger.
