    I was stoked to see you had uploaded a 20+ minute video! I especially love these longer dives into a game that you sometimes do, as I feel it gives you more room by which to "breathe" and expound upon your thoughts. Sound design is oft underappreciated, so hearing your exploration into the audio backbone of this wonderful series is a real delight .

    I truly appreciate this! I'm glad you enjoy the longer videos! I do plan to incorporate these more regularly. I agree that it allows me to say more of what I feel the video needs.

    I wonder if they’ll utilize Noone and/or Jester in 3 or keep them as their own separate story strictly for Sounds of Nightmares. It’s an interesting concept to take a game that relies purely on visuals with no spoken words and have a parallel story in the same universe that relies purely on spoken words and no visuals. Was unaware they’d done something like that and enjoyed your analysis of it with comparisons of what we saw in the games themselves (including the point and click game Very Little Nightmares which I also didn’t know existed until now). Excellently done!

    I get the feeling this is more of a fun extra and not a full tie in to the main games. Sorta how the kids in the comics weren't full tie ins (however some of them did appear as sorta ghosts, so they weren't totally neglected).

    super nitpicky and not meant to put you down in anyway cause i think you deserve a lot more viewers (which is why im suggesting this) i think the title of your video should just be "Psychology of The Sounds of Nightmares" or something along those lines its stupid but things like that can really help you in the algorithm and get your videos clicked on but as someone who doesnt make youtube videos my input might be worthless either way amazing video you deserve to grow so quickly 🥺i hope this comment doesnt come across as patronizing you in anyway

    Love this video 😍 I'd love to hear peoples theories aswell!! My current fav is that the kids don't just become people in the tow (six becomes the bathhouse lady for example) but they become the actual place they inhabit. So for example six becomes a bottomless pit of hunger, one could say a gaping maw. Or Mono, the one who's always alone and watching others becomes the TV tower. Not just the tall man inside. Like maybe that world needs these special kids with physic powers to actually build the world they live in and trap all these adults inside

    Awww thank you so much! Yes, I have a couple of games in mind that might work well for a longer format and my plan is to have my first true long form video out within the next couple of months. I hope to see you in the comments there!

    What if nowhere is some kind of Coraline’s other world situation? Showing the children a new world but as they submit to it they become more twisted and corrupted, the nowhere feeding off of their distorting mental state. :)

    I think that makes a lot of sense, actually. Which might even explain while the teenagers she met hadn't changed. They didn't submit to the world, they were just trapped there.

    @@pixelpondering I think the whole situation with Monster Six and the Thin Man play into that theory as well; with monster six willingly being manipulated by her music box and Mono succumbing and giving up to the transmission. That’s probably the point, unless some kind of intervention happens, at which they get locked into the nowhere for good - so possibly Noone would have become some kind of monster herself.

    That's interesting because I actually never thought about Six being willingly manipulated. I saw it more as the music box was her only form of comfort and she was drawn to it. But I guess, in a way, that is a form of submission to the world. I hope that they work Noone into the 3rd game in some form, just like they added some of the kids from the comics into the 2nd game (some of them were the shadow children Mono hugged). And see what has become of her/what is left of her after she stepped into the world for the last time.

    Ha! I actually did ask a couple of my artistic friends to help me with drawings but, you know, people are busy. But AI is not something I intend to do again. Like you, I'm not a huge AI art fan...I appreciate the feedback though! And I appreciate you watching.
