Trivia

• It has been widely theorized that many of the characters seen in these portraits were meant to be seen physically in game, but were scrapped from the final product.

• At the beginning of the first Little Nightmares game, the light coming through a small circular door is briefly obscured after something passes by it. It was popularly believed that what passed by the door was an unidentified character. After inspecting the object behind the door through data-mining, it was revealed that this was what appears to be a hunk of meat wrapped with white cloth-like material, labeled as "packedbody_01."
