The Sounds of Nightmares episode 6 analysis: Going Nowhere

An interesting finale, one that leaves the door open to further expand from the ever-growing gnarled branches of this universe we've grown to love.

The Dressing Room:

The dream Noone, or rather Ruth, recounts at the beginning is quite interesting, the parallels to past episodes, especially episode 4 are interesting but lack enough focus for us to say anything for sure. The Mannequin woman's actions being noted to match that of the Nowhere itself is very fascinating. Perhaps she's more significant than we can currently know.

The Threshold:

The barrier to the nowhere being a semi-existent, pitch black mist is something that lines up well with the smoke pouring from the mirror in the LN3 banner, especially given it's the first game where the protags aim to leave Nowhere entirely.

Crossing Over:

The fact that the Ferryman knew Noone's real name contrasts with the Mall who only knew her as "No one", almost as if that was their to symbolize that even the eye structures (or at least some of them) are inferior to the Ferryman in terms of grasp on visitors and other worlds in general.

The fact Ruth's voice audibly distorted when the door closed tells me she was likely to become a resident very quickly, possibly due to all that she experienced before ending up in the CPI.

The Real Aim:

The final reveal of the Ferryman speaking to Otto all along makes some question more interesting to ponder, why is Otto the only adult we've seen the Nowhere take interest in, was taking Cici another way of "pushing" him to "plunge", was that alone meant to be enough and the kids at the CPI are now a back up plan? Is Otto being pursued becomes he would have a special power in the Nowhere, one that is crucial for one reason or another, or is it something we have no current hints about? Is Otto getting to Nowhere even possible or is he just being used to basically deliver kids to the Ferryman? We can only look to time with hopes of eventually answering some of these questions.

Closing Thoughts:

The Sounds of Nightmares was an incredible experience and I applaud everyone who contributed to any language version of it. I eagerly look forward to what other ways we'll see of exploring my favorite horror franchise, maybe even through another podcast at some point, again, time will tell.

I just saw the Amazing Digital Circus trailer and noticed:

For half a second you can see Ragatha get grabbed by what is clearly a black, low-poly looking appendage, which is almost definitely the same thing that was creeping down the hall when Caine was snapping his fingers in the announcement trailer, which has something to due with that shadowy eye pit. So yeah, there's something older and darker than Caine in the circus and it's out for blood or worse.

Perfectly captures Mam, you can basically feel the waft of whatever smells you headcanon him as having, because everyone I've seen talk about him in detail mentions a smell.

In case anyone's wondering my preferred "scent of Mammon" is cheap aftershave.

So Mammon was really hot right?

Something I noticed while rewatching Oops is that when Stolas shows up, Ozzie checks his watch, which is on his right wrist, but right before Fizz safely returns to the office Ozzie checks his watch, which is now on Ozzie's left wrist.

This means one of two things: Either the animators couldn't keep it consistent on which wrist Ozzie's watch is, OR Ozzie wears identical watches with his sigil on them on each wrist. The former is more likely but I choose to believe the latter, purely because it's funny.

That or the first time he says it the captions ad something like: "Don't worry, he's Australian :D"

Okay, I know Mammon is supposed to be Australian, but the fact he even puts the C word on a billboard means we're likely going to hear it a LOT in the next episode. O_O I REALLY hope that Mammon says it to the point though that the person writing the subtitles will say that they're running out of ideas for censorship/substitutions (like how in "Western Energy" they did "C U Next Tuesday"). XD XD XD
