Little Nightmares And The Magnus Archives

Little Nightmares and The Magnus Archives

A while ago, I came to the conclusion that the Little Nightmares series is the perfect horror game that embodies all 15 Fear Entities from The Magnus Archives.

I know this random, but ended up focusing on it and mentally cataloged the similarities.

So for fun and because I wanted to get it out of my head to prove I saw something, I made a list of how the worlds are connected.

I probably didn't get all of the details and I'm probably crazy for this, but I like crossovers.

The Eye

• The Eyes of the Maw

• The secret eye cameras hidden on the Maw

• The stone turning eye traps

• part of the Signal Tower's true form

• in general, the multiple drawings/depictions of eyes throughout the series (both 1/2)

The Spiral

• The hallways and doors puzzle of the Signal Tower

• The hallway/door that haunts Mono and later opens, releasing Thin Man

• The strange, warped architecture of the game's environment, especially 2 and the Signal Tower

• Six's monster form, and some of the other creatures of this realm

• generally a lot of doors

The Flesh

• The Maw's "restaurant"

• The Twin Chefs

• The Guests and their appetite/meals

• Six and her hunger progressing

• part of The Signal Tower's true form

The Hunt

• The Hunter, obviously

• actually, literally ever enemy is after you

• multiple chase sequences

The Stranger

• The Lady

• many, many masks

• The maniquens/Patients of the hospital level

• The Hunter's taxidermy

• The Doctor's creations

• The main character designs

The Corruption

• rot and decay permeate the air, certain ares can honestly make you sick

• leeches

• fly swarms festering, a droning buzz the makes you nauseous

The Lonely

• Mono's name along with his and Thin Man's abandonment/betrayal from Six

• The atmosphere and many empty places

• family and friends to not exist in the Little Nightmares universe, everyone for themself

• adults are NOT on your side

The Vast

• The main environments of the game + certain cutscences show how tiny you truly are

• VERY SMALL children in HUGE world that uses their size both against them and benefits them

• It's extremely easy to fall to your death

The Slaughter

• What happens to children if/when they get caught by the many enemies

• Mono fighting

• The music box

The Buried

• The many tight vents in the Maw, School, and Hospital

• Also the tunnels in the forest level (there is a little nightmare comic of a character that gets buried alived)

• The water level in the DLC

The Dark

• The shadow children "fight" in Lady's quarters in the DLC

• many other dark areas that require a lighter/flashlight to navigate

• The maniquens/Patients only move when it's dark, freezing in the light

The Desolation

• The Doctor's death/defeat (locking and burning him in a incinerator)

• Using an incinerator to burn toys to solve a puzzle

• comfort of any kind is not a thing in this universe

The Web

• The Signal Tower and its control over this world

• Everything is fated in a terrible, perfect way (especially in 2 because no matter what, Mono will become Thin Man)

• The Teacher's "strict" education regime

The End

• Death is EVERYWHERE and EVERYTHING. One wrong move means instant game over

The Extinction

• The TVs

Some of these are probably a bit of a stretch, and I definitely had to struggle to fit some of the Fears in, but in all this game's world is amazing and so is the podcast's.

This might not even everything, just the ones that stuck out to me, so if you can think of anything to add to this list, let me know.
