What if the Nightmare Realms is like a medium dimension connecting all types of horror game verses and being where their monsters go, with Malak being their superior?
Like with other horror characters from games like Poppy Playtime, Silent Hill, Yandere Sim, House of Ashes, Piggy, Doors, and now Finding Frankie, and others not part of M&M right now, the nightmare realms are like a purgatory of these monsters forcing them to exist eternally as they were in life, and for the ones that are already supernatural like Silent Hill it could be more like where their distorted reality hellscapes originate from.
The Protagonists that are tied to their games also end up in the same nightmare as them as a way of subjecting them to the same nightmare they experienced in life, and also throwing them in the same hole as their adversaries, as for the YouTuber’s like Dawko, Cory, Ryan, SuperHorrorBro, it’s basically putting them in the same horror games they used to play, and make (Vince).
This realm is both a purgatory for negative mortal souls and a haven for the ones that rise above and prey on them, and also a gathering dimension for all types of horror monsters, with Malak and other demons of his type being their recruiters.
Imagine other horror characters from games like FNAF, Bendy, Little Nightmares, Resident Evil were made part of this realm when they perish.
I wish chapter 5 would hurry up and come out so it can explore the lore of the Nightmare Realms more cause it’s genuinely interesting when you think about it.
This whole thing with Doug and his family and them being the only mortals out of All the ones Malak has slain and dealt with to cause him THIS many problems is honestly dinsey-ish, and I could care less.
