If you’ve been curious about whether your beloved Little Nightmares characters will make an appearance in Supermassive Games’ latest rendition of Nowhere, you’re in the right place. We’re diving deep into the potential return of Six and Mono in Little Nightmares III.
Spoiler warning for Little Nightmares lore and the conclusions of each game.
Do Six or Mono appear in Little Nightmares III?
To put it simply, neither Six nor Mono will be returning in Little Nightmares III. Given that this game is a sequel to the first installment, it’s understandable that Six has evolved into a nightmare herself. As for Mono? He remains caught in a cycle of despair, perpetually waiting for his moment to escape.
Little Nightmares II served as a prequel, detailing Six’s journey to The Maw and unfolding her backstory. This narrative even draws from Very Little Nightmares, which sheds light on her origins—particularly the aid she received from the Girl in the Yellow Raincoat. However, since the third title follows Six after she devours the Lady and acquires powers that drain life from other monsters, her reappearance in her traditional form seems implausible.
Moreover, Mono’s fate might have shifted after he stopped the paradox as the Thin Man, leading to theorized self-sacrifice. At the beginning of Little Nightmares, Six encounters an unsettlingly tall, thin figure hanging overhead. This scene, along with hints in the Secrets of the Spiral Expansion Pass for Little Nightmares III, could expand the lore surrounding these former protagonists—or it may signify the end of their stories within this universe.
However, there’s potential for the Expansion Pass to deliver more insights into Six’s fate. So far, clues have been sparse, with the Secrets of the Maw DLC illustrating the powers of the Lady, who transformed the Runaway Kid into a Nome. This shift changes the context of Six consuming a Nome in the first game, and a similar storytelling approach might be utilized in the upcoming Expansion Pass, leading to a connection between Alone’s narrative and Six.
With all that said, Little Nightmares III stands as a standalone experience set in Nowhere, and there’s currently no mention of Six or Mono. Their presence or acknowledgment could possibly emerge in future DLC, indicating these characters may remain exclusive to Tarsier Studios.
What’s intriguing is a hidden costume in Little Nightmares III resembling Six in her iconic yellow raincoat. This could be part of the Secrets of the Spiral Expansion Pass. Fans will have to wait and see if this is simply a nod to earlier characters or if there’s something deeper connecting Six to the game’s new plot.
