REANIMAL STORY EXPLAINED

bro this is not a story explained, this is a retelling of the games events, there is no explanation to anything going on.

29:05 So, the narration is made with AI. Gfys. Bye.

My theory is that the group was originally made up of 6 kids, the well scene at the beginning shows The Girl popping in at the last second and has a weird gap where it looks like another person should be. This was the sheep sacrifice meant to end the war that made them all orphans, but didn't end up working and I think she/him cursed them to die and caused a drought/famine. The video in the movie theatre shows a circle(the well) that turns into 5 rabbits circling each other(the 5 we see in the beginning) and the scene cuts to an eye that's looking up(the sacrifice). After, the images turn into food rotting and we see that leads to the first death, The Girl as the next sacrifice to stop the drought. We see a boy next to a house on fire, I think Bandage either started a fire or accused of starting one(got burned, that's why he has bandages around his face) and was beaten, a sheep is seen hanging and The Boy was hung to death, a bird being pushed off a cliff like Bucket was, and 3 people in the woods followed by a disfigured fox also in the woods. I think that for Hood, who was shot, that the people are hunting and when you see an animal badly injured you will shoot it to put it out of its misery. At the end, when we get to see what happens through memories, the group of sheep that are surrounding the children I think symbolize the curse of them dying starting. I do think they're all in hell and that each place the kids were and saved from was their version of it and the monsters we see represent some type of connection to them. For Hood, I think the Sniffer was a PDF and graped her(that's why they choose The Girl as a sacrifice because she was a virgin), we see the Sniffer try to lure her in with ice cream and lead her gently into a movie theatre and doing other creepy things like travel through bodies forcefully. Random theory is that the real person may have worked in a Laundromat and that's why we see him ironing "clothes" and surrounded by washing machines. For Bandage, I think the pelican symbolizes his mother who maybe sacrificed herself to save him during the war(which lead him to the orphanage) because they are seen as to sacrifice themselves for their children and Bandage was locked in a bird cage to maybe protect him from the girl, but is maybe faced with the loss of his mother and being secluded. For Bucket he was found at the orphanage and the other kids sacrificing him to the mother monster, who could symbolize who ever ran the orphanage and I think either the kids or "mother" bullied/abused him because he was on the heftier side and seen the same as the pig they had earlier sacrificed(we see the pig being terrified of the monster in the tunnels). This maybe lead to his death because he was eating too much during the famine and the children pushed him off a cliff. In the theatre video we see birds pushing another bird off a cliff, could mean that they're from the same place or same age. The bucket on his could be about mental health that can either be filled with kindness or emptied with negativity. I think for The Boy, finding his sister in the water and being alive is him coming face to face with his betrayal and being tormented by the guilt and then seeing his friends go through their own version of hell. When all of them are together, we see something they all fear and hate, war that has tormented them all their lives and then being hunted down by the thing that started everything in the first place, the sheep sacrifice and finally facing the consequences for what they did. Now The Girl is more complicated and my theory is a little out there. So in the theatre video we see a hollow outline of a person in the sand, now after The Girl died her body was a shell that could be taken over by something(maybe a curse, demon, or the person they sacrificed, Idk) and that followed her into hell and every time she gets angry it first revives it then feeds it. That's why it's a sheep and not a rabbit to symbolize or is the person they first sacrificed and after she throws up the sheep it immediately goes after the people who killed her/him, that's why The Girl gets eaten as well. Her hell could be being surrounded by the people who betrayed her but not being able to leave or kill them because she's too kind or scared too. Now when we see her reanimate, maybe whatever reanimated her destroys the world by flooding it and why her coffin has a bunny and not her body because it's up there causing havoc and not technically dead, but her spirit was still sent to hell.

Sorry for the long rant, but this has been stuck in my head and I have no one to talk to about it with. I love games like this and theorizing about them, I can't wait for the DLCs. Well I hope it made some sense and also found it interesting! Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

why does it say STORY EXPLAINED because you didnt explain anything

Thinking about it, and watching some videos; I think the 5 kids murdered a sheep down the well, then the girl felt so much guilt (growing in her like the sheep in the game, coming out of her, and attacking others) that the other kids killed the girl (maybe afraid of getting in trouble)by throwing her down too, condemning all 5 into a sort of limbo, were other murderers and murdered are, dealing with otherworldly evil creatures. Maybe demons. Some wearing the skin of others. Where trauma of kidnappers, of war, animal slaughter, and so on. Could be that the different eras that we see are what they saw as they grew up, but still stuck in that moment of when they were children. Now, that they are all dead, they are stuck in this loop, in this world that started with a murder of a innocent sheep.

Buoys aren't even necessarily meant to guide someone to safety in real life, as they can also mark hazards, so they were probably more of a lure than guide to safety.

Honestly super lame if it is the afterlife in my opinion, would have been better if it was some alternate history where some eldritch horror waged war with humanity with horrible monsters mind control and mutation. Buuuut nope, nothings real and everyone is already dead. Lame

Why does bandage look similar to the Hunter in little nightmares

bro you wasted 31 minutes of my life, how can you name a video that sth is explained and don’t explain anything….

I noticed something. Sniffer closed Hood in the cell, and tried to kill us.

The pelican kidnapped Bandages, but we find him alive at the lighthouse. And as soon as we try to kidnap him, the pelican attacks us.

Even though Mom ate Bucket, I think she kept him safe inside her, because she killed us with her bare hands.

I think each of these monsters is like a personal bodyguard for each of these children, who tried to keep them safe and became aggressive when we tried to free them.

I wonder what you all think about this.

"As if."

DRINK!

U suck bro

Better than LN3 it was f disappointing this should have been LN3 focus on the kids in the comics instead the one we have a ln2 boring less impactful

girls, huh?

Sucks the creators are tarsier studios they leave their games story's unfinished

This video explains nothing.

"explained" you explained absolutely nothing

This game is good but this ending is so compilacion 😅

Can we stop comparing this to little nightmares I'm getting sick of it these two are similar but completely different and I'm getting sick

That everyone keeps saying this is the better little nightmares three

I don't hate this game I'm just saying I'm sick of it being compared to little nightmares when it's not they both are good respectful games

The sheep with human features and red light might be somewhat based on Leap castle haunting.

they might have placed those buyoes because they wanted to lead those children into the island so that they can kill them and eat them maybe idk if im right though

I appreciate how you said that it was a "Real Little Nightmares 3." So many people dance around this reality it's just plain silly

So hum u didn explained shit, the title could've been "visual description of reanimal". And oh dear dont get me started on your between the soldier playin piano AND THE FCKING PIG???? But at least u made something, permitting us to laugh at a game supposed to be scary..

It's nice to have a Little Nightmares title that is a little more grounded in reality and feels like it actually has an intended story. However, because of this basis in reality that unfortunately means that it also has the least interesting character design. But the gameplay has never been smoother and the world has never been prettier. However, I think they peaked on character design in the first installment.

8:06 🧃 lore

I learned what I wanted from the comments and not this nothing burger video

26:41 I didn’t know you could comfort the pig… I feel fucking terrible and I hate everything…

0:18 He looks like an Indian subcontinent's lad, but sounds like a deep voiced eastern european smoker dad.

I disagree inherently with the "pay up-front for dlc later" thing, as i think we should be delivered the full game on release, especially with such a narrative heavy focus. To me, the game feels unfinished. The story isnt done, and the runtime isnt long enough to justify the delay. I wouldve rather waited another year to get everything all at once, rather than "heres half the story, have fun theorizing!"

the actual thing i didn't get is "were they really children or were they adults represented by children in this story?"

they somehow know how to move any military vehicule + cars + boats , also certain weapons with expertise.

they evaded gunshots and soldiers like veterans of the war near the end and also died in ways soldiers from the war would have died (at least the boy being hanged was something common in most wars if you betrayed your people)

There are a lot of biblical and mythological references about sacrifices, so I think that the girl got sacrificed for something. (Maybe for a drought) At the post credit scene we see the well where the kids threw the girl in, it was filling up with water, and I think that it’s related to the flood, cuz I think the water never stopped coming. This might also be a time paradox, cuz there are certain parts in the story where we can find hidden coffins that explain how the kids died. I think they all die after they sacrificed the girl because the other people found out and executed them (The boy gets hung, Bucket gets pushed off a cliff, Hood gets shot, and Bandage gets beat by a mob). So maybe the place we see them in the game is some sort of afterlife (like a hell of some sorts) where the kids get punished for what they’ve done (there’s a scrapped voice line where the boy says “Do you know why we’re here? Punishment.”). I think the girl remembers getting executed, and the lamb we see (which turns into the monster we see at the end) symbolizes her hatred/resentment, which maybe explains why it eats the other kids and grows, it eats the girl last because I think it symbolizes her hate consuming her. These are all just theories

0 explanation, click bait title

Wow, that was awesome! This kind of idea is the one doesn't want to do or any studios to except for Netflix which is risk taker but a hit producer of unbelievable shows.

wait , telekinesis and the mask i think i know who this is , this is the same world as the little nightmares past past past , the game series is going backwards ever since the first game , this is probably the story of the white lady if possible as it is my theory , and she spat out a sheep with never ending hunger , since this "curse" which she fought away after becoming all powerful an dkilled the sheep later on which may have given birth to the un-ending hunger devover of flesh and soul which may be raincoat girl , her name is 9 ? right? and 9 went through that entire journey to get revenge on her , this is my finest theory i can conjure up as this world is much more in the past setting as this world was in a much better condition compared to little nightmares (1) the first game , and we may finally get the conclusion next game as i think it is cause little nightmares 2 the 7's origin is unknown but we know who he is going to be , then now we are getting the lore of the white lady possibly so my prediction for the next game is going to either be the ORIGIN of this so called "curse" which caused this world to ruin or 7's return to end it all cause he is basically the only character to travel through screens or portals so he can escape his fate to the future point where it may be an all powered 9 VS us the player , as i see they are going backwards in time to each characters origins / curse that began everything so lets see what unfolds

I have a theory. The animals are actually humans but evil ones.

6:35.. Tom Waits…?

This wasn't a story explanation, you just narrated the whole game and made a quick theory at the end. Next time actually talk about the story don't just read out scenes like a script, you didn't add anything to the conversation. You just narrated

So we are not gonna talk about scene on the end with more children in the well?

Honestly I think the Sheep is some sort of angered god.

The shrines dedicated to the sheep depict it as peaceful looking, smiling, one would almost say it looks pretty cute, but of course the sheep we see is a hulking beast. It is of monstrous size, bearing human arms and legs, and sheep legs stick crookedly out its back which it uses for extra traction like a spider, it's a true nightmare. It's not at all what one would expect a sheep deity to appear as just from the shrines littered about.

I believe the Sheep is some form of angered god because of the nature of its summoning ritual. Perhaps it used to be a peaceful deity or spirit of nature, and the children (and perhaps an overarching cult at play) maybe wanted to summon it to make the world better, end the war, but instead of collecting flowers or dancing around a pyre or what-have-you, something that may truly appease a god of nature or peace, they summoned it through blood sacrifice.

First they tried a sheep itself, an odd thing to offer a deity that appears as a sheep no? And when that got no answer, they moved on to people. Culminating in the final sacrifice, the girl, where they finally got an answer from the god they were so desperately hoping to reach. Only it isn't the answer, nor salvation, that they were hoping for.

What was once peaceful has been twisted into a beast, prey has become predator. Perhaps it could've helped, but not anymore, its summoning was brought forth through blood and blood it shall have. And not just the girl's nor just those before her. They toyed with forces beyond nature, have tainted what was once pure, and the flood was their penance.

Look at the way its physical form came into being, it burst forth from the girl's mouth in a bounty of blood before running off. And shortly after it gets its footing, literally and figuratively by both sprouting legs and beginning its hunt, it systematically hunts down all of the kids who did the girl wrong. There is a wealth of random soldiers about for it to consume, it could easily focus on them over anything, they're loud, aggressive, easy targets, but every time it gets a whiff of the children's trail it begins to endlessly pursue them, and every single time it does it gets noticeably bigger. Until finally eats the last perpetrator, the boy, and becomes a truly horrific mass of wool, flesh, and hatred. It never really targets the girl until she's the final one left and it's consumed the others.

I believe the story, much like Little Nightmares because Tarsier loves time loops apparently, is in fact, a time loop.

The girl is sacrificed, this finally tips the sheep god's anger so much it pulls a Christian God and floods the world, as evidenced by the post credits scene of the well where she was left flooding over. The girl is later found in the new ocean with no memory by the Boy in his boat and they begin their streak of hijinks until the sheep god finally becomes physical by bursting from the girl. The sheep hunts down all of the ones who sacrificed the girl in the first place one by one, growing stronger each time, until finally consuming the girl herself. The girl wanders through the god's insides (or perhaps a form of ethereal plane that was reached via her consumption) and reconvenes with her body at the exact point when she was captured in the barn. And thus the loop begins again.

Or perhaps all of that is flat out horse-apples, because like everyone else I'm just talking outta my ass and just guessing things because beside some stuff there is absolute nothing concrete about anything in this game because Tarsier loves being as cryptic as classic Castlevania.

This video taught me nothing

There's no way the rabbit was a pretty of hers. The rabbits were more than likely sacrificial to each child that was sacrificed. Look at the circle, it is made of 4 paintings of white rabbits and the circle is completed by the last one attached to her

Halfway through this and nothing explained, it is simply a talk through the main plots of the game. Fail

What I think happened is, there was initially a war happening in the world. 4 boys did an initial ritual in the oprhanage so they wouldnt die. As we find coffins throughout the story, they represent how the boys eventually got killed but not really (via hanging getting shot etc.). However due to the initial ritual with the rabbit cutting, they did not die. This could explain why the fifth coffin spits out a rabbit. But to handle the overall war, they took the ritual to the next step. Luring the girl to a barn and sacrificing her. The panic state we her during the bar scene could be just boys attacking her and knocking her out. The scene is a bit demonic and chaotic but it could be due to her scared state not understanding whats going on. After knocking the girl, they pluck her eye out and throw her to the well. Rabbit mask could be an overall tribute/reference to the all the rabbit themed worshipping going around. The movie in the cinema could be explaining what went down during the ritual. There is also a scene there with a body shape carved in the sand which could mean her body eventually ended up on a beach? Either way this ritual, somewhat ties to immortality, could have been backfired and after the twitching in the well, the water levels rose and flooding occured. Maybe they wanted to do the immortality ritual they did on themselves on larger scale , possibly to grant their own soldiers the same immortality. Same one that the Boys had achieved for themselves. However, doing it on such a large scale may have caused the backfire I mentioned earlier. By the time the game begins, some time has passed since the flooding, and one of the boys, namely “The Boy,” is somehow trying to fix the situation by searching for the girl, or even if he is not actively searching, he happens to come across her. That might explain why the girl’s first reaction is to try to slit The Boy’s throat.

Before the opening scene and after the flooding, the war likely transforms into a fight against these zombified/re-animated humans and animals. Within the same timeframe, before the opening scene, either demonic animals emerged from the girl, or the animals themselves are affected in the same way. Since everything becomes reanimated with animal-like behavior, this could also explain the wordplay in the title. In the end, as the Sheep that emerges from the girl grows by consuming corpses and eventually devours each of the Boys one by one, the story truly concludes when it finally consumes the girl herself. What we see while the girl is inside the Sheep’s stomach could actually be a flashback to events that took place before the flooding.

About the Sniffer... my theory is that it drains the water from the corpses and attempts to create human-skin clothing for itself. It sees them as garments and uses them as such. Somehow, it knows that the children are responsible for these events, and with the ice cream truck, he may be trying to lure them in to capture them.

Bruh, you didn't mention the talking Pig !! it's important.

So, something you mentioned about the military appearing outside after you rescue Bucket to evacuate people seems off to me. Because when you get caught by the rifleman walking left, he straight up just walks up to you and executes you. Made it feel like the kids were actually alone in all of this.

I felt that the story was about the loss of innocence.
Sheep / lambs represent innocence, and as the sheep 'god' became corrupted throughout the events of the game while the kids moved through the world, so did their innocence as they witnessed the horrors of war.
At the end of the game, after the rabbit girl pukes up the sheep, her dress turns from white to red, further symbolizing how war has forced her to grow up from a kid to an adult and ruining her childlike innocence about the world.
To me, the game is saying that war is indiscriminate. It ruins everything it touches, and children are often the most innocent victims of violent conflicts.

I just got into this game and the world and the environment and everything just tells a story that you know doesn’t just blatantly tell itself so I’m really trying to get as deep into the lore as I possibly can because it’s just so interesting❤ it’s been a long time since I cared enough to get into a deep dive of a video game more since iron lung and that was like three years ago😂
