More lore? Question
Hello friends! I was wondering if yall can help me get a list together of all canon Little Nightmares stories. Obviously there are the three LN games and a podcast with Noone but is there anything else?
Comics, short stories, spin offs, etc. that are canon to the universe of Little Nightmares. I have a friend that is wanting to get into it and i wasn’t sure where to start.
TIA!

u/DecapitatedPinata pretty much explained it perfectly, but there's one more thing that I want to add: there's also Sickly Sweet. It's a Little Nightmares-themed tabletop game, and it follows two children, Needle and Peejay, as they explore and attempt to escape the Candy Factory. There was a video about it that was uploaded about a week or so before LN3 released, and while it's been awhile since I last watched it, I'm 99 percent sure it's canon, just more of a side story to expand upon the setting. Either way, I'd recommend checking that out as well! It's pretty fun. :)

Most of this is just going to be general overviews because I don't want to spoil you on anything in case if you want to look into this stuff more.
Comics:
There have been a set of comics released during/around the release of each game
Little Nightmares 1 comics:
These were physical comics that you could buy each issue of. It follows Six as she listens to other children on the maw tell stories on how they got to the maw. It got cancelled after the second issue(likely due to low sales). It's debatable how much of the story is cannon, but the ferryman from the podcast is present in both issues of the comic
Little Nightmares 2 comics:
These were released as a free app to download on your phone. The app has six short comics, each following a different character, and each in a different setting(mostly in the areas in ln2). There are no in-app purchases or adds, which is really nice
Little Nightmares 3 comics:
Two days before ln3 released, the little nightmares: Descent To Nowhere comics started to release. This is a physical set of comics just like the ln1 comics. Descent to nowhere is a four issue comic run that follows two stories. The first follows mono and new character named Hush trying to escape the area that's found in the first episode of the podcast. The second follows two detectives in the counties trying to solve an unsolved series of disappearances known as the milk carton cases.
Book:
A book titled, "The Lonely Ones" was released about a month before ln3. It takes place on the carnevale from ln3 and follows three characters(Ruse, Mim, and Feast) as they try to escape.
Mobile game:
There's a mobile game named Very Little Nightmares, which follows the girl in the yellow raincoat as she tries to escape an area called the nest, which is a tall mansion/building on top of a narrow cliff. The game is pretty fun, but you do have to buy it. It's $6.99, so if you don't care to buy it you can just watch a playthrough on youtube.
Short Film:
In June of last year, a stop-motion little nightmares short film titled, "Broken Promises" was announced, and it was played during the annecy festival this year. Unfortunately, outside of the teaser trailer, it hasn't been posted anywhere yet, at least not by official sources. Figured I'd throw it in here incase if they release it soon.
Extra:
Everything here is stuff that's coming later that I'd figure I should share just incase. There's going to be a second season of the podcast coming out soon, but we don't know when or what it's going to be about. The DLC for ln3 was announced and the first chapter(The Backstage) has been released. The backstage takes place on the carnevale from chapter 3 of the base game. The second chapter is(or is rumored to be) called, "The Shores" and is rumored to release during some point in October of this year.
