According Dave Mervik, he stated that "All the children come from.They don't belong in this world" and that there is a "reason" why the children are in the Nowhere, linked to "Something that happened before in their lives that made them a good 'fit' for Little Nightmares.".Through interviews and other hints from the franchise, the nature of the Nowhere has been alludes many times:
Before its name was revealed, the Nowhere was described as "a distorted place that lives somewhere between dreams and reality".Other translations such as the Italian and French ones use names such as "Il Nulla" and "Le NĂ©ant" to identify the world of Little Nightmares rather than "dark places." However, in some translations such as the Spanish one, the term "La Nada" (which translates to Nothing or Nowhere) is used instead of "dark places".
