Attention: I want to warn you that I speak English VERY poorly, so please do not judge strictly!

I will immediately offer two possible answers.

1) This theory deserves consideration.

2) The theory is not worth considering.

I couldn't do a post-survey with a description of the theory, so I just ask you to write in the comments 1 or 2 (well, or yes/no). This theory is unlikely, but, in my opinion, it has the right to life. Before reading, please note that I have already passed VLN more than forty times and even made a stream about this game. I found a secret video at the end and a couple of funny mistakes that can help in passing. Lately I've also been helping to edit the pages of this game. Also, if you notice inconsistencies with the plot of the games, questions to the theory, etc., write, I will answer everything. At the end, I will also give the most popular arguments against this theory and what I can answer them. If the theory is still considered worthy of consideration, it will be shortened and reworked into an appropriate form. This is described in detail below. Well, as already mentioned, let's go.

The theory is based on whether Pretender is able to turn children into nomes with a single touch. If we assume that he can, then next we need to remember the ending of the game, where the girls crash into the water at the speed of Feofan's cart (Russian joke. Which means "very fast)". They fell for 9 seconds, which is why we can calculate that if the physics of the Nightmare World (I'll conditionally call it the game world) is the same as in ours, then the girls fell from a height of 397 meters! To make you understand this figure, after landing, only bloody minced meat will remain from the girls. But, oddly enough, we don't see it. There's even someone else gurgling in the depths. Officially, girls are dying there. That's where the theory comes in. Initially, the developers planned that Pretender would turn children into nomes with his touch, but we have never seen this in the game. But if we let Pretender touch us during the gameplay, then only the cloak will remain of us. but here's the thing, he never lies down straight, but only in a heap. And, given the size of the nomes in this game, we can assume that there is still a lying nome under the cloak, who was our heroine quite recently. And considering that we didn't see any blood, it's quite possible that Pretender was still able to touch the Girl during the fall, and she became a noma. At the same time, the applicant was able to survive (it is written about her in the article), and the girl slowed down the fall during the transformation, because when the Runaway Kid turns into a noma, he soars into the air, and only clothes remain from him in the same way. For those who did not understand: there is no blood at the end, because Pretender touched the main character, she braked on landing and turned into a noma. What will happen next? I'm afraid that the fate of the Girl, already without the yellow cloak, even in this case still cannot be called sweet. Let's assume the most optimal course of events for the Girl, because even if she turned into a nome, she could just drown: our main character survived, even managed to swim out. Pretender died (for example, drowned) without finishing her work. Then we have two options:

1) The girl stays in the Nest.

2) The Sixth takes the girl with him (here we can assume that the Sixth even caught the main character)

The first case is the simplest, so let's start with it. Even if the Girl managed to get to the Nest or stay in its vicinity, avoiding the Butler, traps and other obstacles, she is still destined to remain a noma forever! And it's hardly fun. Yes, the nomes of the Nest know how to get high from life like no one else in this world (without exaggeration, what they just don't do), but still the Girl will have to live like an ordinary rat for the rest of her days, even if surrounded by relatives. Perhaps some nomes will not even forget her kindness (for example, those whom we rescued from the Craftsman workshop), but this will not make it easier for the poor thing, because both the Craftsman and the Butler are quite old, like the mansion itself. And this means that sooner or later they will disappear, the food in the Nest will run out, and it is unlikely to be possible to escape from there, especially the nomes. Moreover, perhaps due to lack of food, a Garbage Monster will come out of the Landfill, and spiders will come out of the ventilation (in the plot we often see their cocoons, although we do not see the spiders themselves). And, as you understand, a whole "disco" will begin next. But even if new monsters come to replace these monsters, and the Nest does not collapse, no one has canceled the spiders, and the Girl's life will still be hard and sad.

The second option is more complicated. It is completely based on another nome, which we see in the second part of the game. It is implied that it is the same girl. The girl could easily get lost on the Sixth, when she was running away from the Hunter, and then find her friend already in the hut. The nome in the attic is not as much afraid of Mono as the other nomes, and he also knows how to use matches, just like the Girl. Even the gameplay is similar to the nomes from the mobile game. In this case, the Girl would not have been able to go further with the main characters, since she would not have been physically able to pass by the Hunter (and it's good that she did not go, because she could even suffer the fate of an Runaway Kid).

What is the perspective of the Girl in this case. You will laugh, although it's all rather sad, but the prospect is the same – death from starvation or the life of a rat (provided that the Hunter still survived, because he looks more like an animated doll than a real living being). We can also assume that the Girl was able to get out of the Hunter's house, but in this case she is waiting for at least a ton of traps! And if she manages to get around them (she will be lucky, or the Girl will be able to outwit them, after all, she is not stupid), then what next? True, rat life again, but already in the forest. At least she could have gone on a trip, but knowing the World of Nightmares, she would hardly have gone far.

And I remind you: we have now considered the BEST outcome...

As a result: the theory is extremely unlikely. Even the very first part of it is based on early developments and drawings of nomes from the game. And all further events are assumed to be even less likely, because they are based on the best outcome of events for the Girl. And even with this outcome, the main character of "Very little nightmares", at BEST, is waiting for the life of an ordinary nome of the Nest. Decide for yourself what is preferable - such a life or death. Here the choice is up to the player what to believe. Personally, I feel very sorry for the Girl, and after futile attempts to find a secret ending (yes, I found it, but you can only run it with a bug or through the console, and the girl still dies in it, and immediately without a chance) I started digging into the developments, details of the game, files, and in total I managed to deduce such a theory. Perhaps then we were shown so many nomes in the game that our heroine then chose with whom to lead a further existence...

Popular arguments against theory:

1) Music at the end. The game has both scarier and sadder, which is only worth the music of the Craftsman, the ending, the chase or secret rooms. Moreover, remember the first part of the game. It's even worse there, although the ending even pulls on a happy one. Even if we assume the miraculous rescue of all the previous main characters (the fugitive turned out to be just a noma standing next to him, and not the one we ate (and the difference is that we still ate the fugitive, only another one). Mono turned back like the Sixth, and after that he didn't become a monster like the same Sixth. And the Girl was saved thanks to such a theory), the life of the Sixth with superpowers and a huge ship with a bunch of nomes, children and even two cooks (these seem to be alive) is much happier than the rat life of the Girl and Runaway Kid, not to mention Mono.

2) Developers. Someone says that developers have not shied away from killing children before, censoring blood. The fact is that these games were made by DIFFERENT PEOPLE! In the mobile game, you can meet only four guaranteed dead children – these are statues next to the eyes. There are also spider cocoons, but they can contain dolls, nomes, and much more. Considering that they meet exactly where both nomes and dolls could be. Only a cocoon with shoes and flashlights looks convincing there... He could be a real girl here... But the developers of mobile phones do not hesitate to exterminate pigeons, and there they quite show us all the scrambled eggs that pigeons have turned into.

3) The final is open, no one has surfaced. If it were open, there would be no theory.

4)No animation when touching the Pretender during the game. But this is the only argument that I considered worthy. The reason here is precisely in the words "in the game". Mark the time of the Runaways Kid's transformation and imagine that after each death you will observe this! I, who died there five times on the first pass (this is still normal, the garbage man took me thirty times), and if I had watched such a cut scene after each death, I would have gone nuts. And also add that this is a MOBILE game and all the animations in it... well, mediocre, to put it mildly, and imagine what such an animation would do to her. And this is despite the fact that such a long animation, even if it were cut off, would simply not fit into the attacks of other monsters that work out so quickly that sometimes you don't understand what it was at all (personally, my undisputed record holder in this list is the Butler's washing machine, which sometimes even flies into the next one the room, and even if you leave the room, when you re-enter, this washing machine will automatically appear on the player's head).

5) Why does the girl fall immediately when touching on the stairs? Probably a shoal of developers (Well, the shadows of the nomes in the DLC also wore clothes, the shackles on the Runaway Kid unbuttoned after the transformation (how is that at all?), and the Grandmother can not be killed at all). This can also confirm that the raincoat has a terrible animation of folding in the air. However, it is with this point that we can confirm the theory of turning into a noma – the raincoat falls very quickly when it should have either slowly descended or even flown away, but no, it falls down like a stone, which may indicate that there is something heavy enough in it to fall at such a speed.

From myself:To be honest, the ending of the game is very sad in all cases, but I hope that some, like me, will find comfort for themselves in this theory and hope that everything may not end so badly for the Girl... well, fantasize about how our heroine would live among the nomes, maybe it's still so...

Bonus: a video I made of Very Little Nightmares (there are even more of them on my channel):
