I’m loving the “Ollie is the prototype” theory. It makes some sense: the prototype wants all the toys to “merge” into him or whatever as to what mommy long legs referred to. Both mommy long legs and cat nap were immediately taken by the prototype when they were killed. Meaning the prototype is watching and is always there. Ollie helped us kill cat nap, and no one has ever seen him. Remember the prototype has the ability to change voices and we’ve only ever heard Ollie. I think that the plan is for us to kill all the others, then the prototype will finally be completed and will kill us.

It’s not that crazy of a theory. Considering a lot of the time children who are part of programs, or people who are part of programs, will end up working for that program when they are better off. It’s some thing that happens a lot in the real world. For instance I’m a recovering addict, and I was a part of a childhood /young adult homeless program from 18-25. A few of the people who I used to live with at the building, ended up working for the program. I also worked for them too while I was still living there. As well as I know a few people who work at shelters that they used to stay at. So it’s some thing that happens a lot in the real world, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they took inspiration from that.

CATNAP!!! That large poppy flower is only seen 4 times in the game: 1) The letter we recieve telling us to find the flower 2) The outside of where we find Poppy's case 3) The key to Elliot Ludwig's room 4) The button Poppy pushes at the end of the game to lower us down before Kissy is attacked.

I just find it ironic that he was electrocuted as a human boy which the prototype was there and saved him. But unfortunately turn him inadvertently into Catnap. Then when we fight him as Catnap we electrocuted him to defeat him and once again put him into the situation of close to death again, and there is the prototype again only this time instead of helping him like he did when he was a child the prototype kills Catnap this time. In speculation this could mean that the prototype was accepting his fate or figured that Catnap would be a crutch since he might have to save him again from the same situation.

So the prototype faking a helping hand and then killing him felt very weird/out of nowhere and dumb to me. Cause even if he doesn't care, he could still use catnap to work for him. Also catnap didn't hold the hand that was held out to him, he just went into a worshipping position, which would be a strange reaction, if he were thinking the prototype was offering help. Interpreting the scene as him self sacrificing makes way more sense.

Catnap is definitely my favourite enemy/character so far! I feel like there's so much more to his story and so much more layers to his character that we haven't seen yet. Also, I think that the game is alluding to us that our protag wasn't just some random innocent employee that escaped the hour of joy by sheer luck, I fell like it's hinting that the protag was once a scientist working on the bigger body initiative but then fled once they realized what they were doing was wrong. And maybe that's how they got away from the hour of joy.

Because I believe it’s Rich who has had a tape in every chapter so far, as a disgruntled employee, I wonder if we are him. Every character mentions how they remember us: rich has worked in every location of the facility that we’ve seen so far, and as of chapter 3 was then promoted to a scientist position. Considering rich genuinely cared about the kids, but got wrapped up in experiments would be a good reason for him to feel guilt, knowing the ins and the outs of the facility, and extensively spied on by the company. Idk it just seems like they’re hinting that rich is important.

I can totally see a scenerio of him being promoted to a scientist and being introduced to the bigger body initiative and going along with it at first because he wants to help the children only to become overwhelmed with grief of what he has done and fled shortly after. Or maybe he knew something was up because the toys knew that he cares for them genuinely and warned him or do something else to hint that he shouldn't come on the day the hour of joy was done. Either way, the most logical conclusion at this point is him being our protag.

​@@reanybean4878 I think (and hope) it's Rich too. But regardless of who it is, I do wonder if the protagonist ever got involved in experiments, because from poppy showing the tape, we know he wasn't at happy hour, nor knew it would happen, and the hallucination mentioning "may you find horrors beyond your comprehension" implies to me that he didn't even know about the experiments. Bc if he did, wouldn't those horrors be fully expected, and if he participated in it, wouldn't he very much be able to understand at least part of them? Showing up to a letter about his missing colleagues too... Anyone involved in the experiments would know the creatures were intelligent and able to kill. He couldn't have come actually expecting to find his coworkers, or at least not be fully clueless as to what may have happened to them (and it seems he really was given what poppy says when giving the tape). The characters remember him, but address him as if he knows practically nothing about that side of the factory for the most part imo, especially on that part. Also he was willing to leave the factory almost as soon as he was presented with an option to, even if he did hang around longer than most, and freed poppy even though other toys had already attempted to kill him. Which shows he was dedicated to setting things right, but not ready to deal with the creatures? Like I feel someone that was aware of them and was willing to kill in self defense (which protag clearly is) wouldn't have shown up empty handed. I'm not asking for a gun, but I feel he would've brought something. Basically I feel a lot of stuff points to portage being regretful but having never been fully aware of what was happening. Poppy saying "they did nothing wrong" when defending the protagonist too. Someone that partook in experiments couldn't have their hands fully clean. And ofc the protagonist doesn't, at least if we're to believe that the guilt he experiences in the dream is fully warranted. I want to be clear that the dream sequence does imply to me that protag was directly involved in the killing children process more than it implies he wasn't (that radio audio was very specific, and ofc even if involved in experiments that doesn't mean he could be prepared for how much worse everything is now, "horrors beyond your comprehension" could be that). But the rest of the stuff leaves me conflicted as to whether he really knew about/partook in/supported the experiments. Im probably just reading too much into it, but it did plant doubt in me, and left me wondering if he feels guilt because he supported all of it by just working there and ignoring sketchy shit, rather than because he went as far as knowingly hurting the kids. Anyway damn this is long, if anyone reads it im sorry bout that

Catnap! I really love how poppy playtime got more creepy in chapter 3. Don't get me wrong chapter 2 had it's moments here and there. But the way that the prototype spoke is just, ugh! Creepy!!

Was a lot of fun getting into all the lore, my pleasure!

I realize that there's no information on this, but what was Playtime producing between the years of 1930 and 1950? 1930 is a weird time to start a luxury business (and toys are a luxury item) since it's during the Great Depression in the US, so there wouldn't have been that many people to buy products even if they thought they were cool. Since I have no doubts that you've done your research and the date is correct, this makes me wonder if they weren't making toys originally. We haven't seen any posters of toys that pre-date Poppy. The other thing that I'm interested in during the 1930 to 1950 timeframe is WWII. It makes sense to me that whether or not Playtime was making toys, they would have stopped and rerouted production during the war years. This may be why they had so many gas masks to hand. Perhaps that was their contribution to the war effort, and so later, when the whole poppy gas thing happened they had a ton of masks laying around for research purposes. But it also makes me wonder what else they were working on for the war effort considering how they developed other projects as a company. What is down in the depths of Playtime's history. Also, if the Swapimals had some limited success, then then should be more of them. Perhaps we'll get a Swapimals chapter? Also worth wondering what it means that the protagonist was paired with CatBee during the "make a friend" segment, and then we learn how people were paired with toys later on. Will the protagonist have other connections to CatBee going forward? Does it say something about our personality? Anyway, good job on the history. I totally missed that the company was founded so early and thought it was founded in the '50s.

I love this because i thought it was strange they mentioned specializing in making toys and surveillance. There is believed to be cameras in the toys. That w the gas masks, the red gas, I think they definitely worked for the government or for the war effort in some weird way first, and eventually disguised themselves in an innocent industry that also drives decent profits.

@@stepfitz1016 Thank you. But they could have started as a perfectly normal toy company. During WWII, the thing the US did for the allies was turn into a major manufacturing hub. We weren't being bombed, so we made stuff here and shipped it over there. It didn't matter what your company USED to do. We were suddenly no longer doing that and you were going to make things for the war because the government said so. The gas masks are particularly notable. Look up images of the Mickey Mouse gas mask that was intended to be more inviting and less scary for children. But this applied a lot of places. You make clothes? Not any more. you're making Uniforms for the troops and parachutes. A lot of companies switched gears to make different products. It's one of the things people were mad at Trump for during the pandemic. He could have done what was done during the war years and forced companies to make needed medical supplies instead of what they normally make. (Special beds were a particular sticking point that he instead created a situation where states were bidding against each other and driving prices up, which is bad for the taxpayers.) Anyway. Hadn't intended on getting political, it was just an obvious compare and contrast because it's the only other time I know of when we considered just mandating what companies make because we were in desperate need. The 1940s would be a particularly interesting time to know what Playtime was doing because they WOULD have had some kind of government contract. Not because they're evil, but because EVERYONE did.

I'm still confused for two things: 1. Who sent us the letter that told us our old coworkers have been missing and 2. Why now? Why after 10 years of us not working in the factory?

@@janpaulschliemann9430 But she was in the case. I've seen people theorize it's Ollie (who I'd assume was another victim of BBI like Kissy or something instead of an actual child, because after 10 years he would be into his teens) that sent the letter. And maybe it's 10 years later because the toys/monsters are finally starved enough that they aren't so strong? They'd have a better shot at beating them.. MY question is, why hasn't this place been investigated by the police? Then when the police disappeared, the government? Surely this would be noticed...or did I miss something that explains this?

I’ve been thinking, the more and more I look into the prototype, I wonder if it wasn’t just a person transferred into the skeletal body, but what if when first turning, he awoke, and seeing himself, drove him mad, in a rage tried to turn against employees but would locked away. And while locked away, he (desperate and in a state of madness to be human again) shredded the suit from his body, and because it was their first attempt playtime co felt if they added a skeleton to the toy, the human soul would latch better? So the prototype had shredded himself to only the skeleton, and hid himself to the corner, a scientist maybe goes to check on him and finds nothing but shredded fur or felt along the ground and a single skeletal arm reaching out from the dark with a choppy and raspy voice asking “what did you do to me…” (idk if it could be fact but legit as I was writing this I got excited because I feel that could be an amazing possibility?)

You know, I could see this happening, especially after we learn what happened to Bron (the 50-something former employee with cancer); how his intelligence seemed to drop as if he wasn't able to process what happened to him. Perhaps The Prototype had a similar reaction..especially if it was Rich, who would want nothing to do with anything regarding the darker parts of Playtime Co.

This is the first logical person trying to figure out the poppy playtime lore. Never go into a abandoned factory with missing people. And giant monster toys. If I was the player in chapter 1 and fixed the power and huggy was gone I would leave.

I’m very impressed with this video! The level of detail you went to in order to piece together the story of the game is beyond amazing. 10/10 stars for sure and I thoroughly enjoyed it man 👏🎉😁

you know whats funny about this all of this happening in one night you know damn well it's gonna be the next day when the game ends

It's also a old movie trope just put into video game. It's a very old idea nothing new and also lazy writing for when they dont what to do to clean story slate and force a new narrative. For example the toxic in portal was just a way to quickly end the story with no more world building needed for them to write.

Catnap! Nice explanation, i really like the lore and i made sure to play through the 3 chapters before watching this. Happy that the lore from ingame and from their youtube channel gets explained since its easy to miss something or get lost.

While I was re-watching some poppy playtime, chapter 1 videos, I realized Elliot Ludwig’s face is always hidden, and when I was playing poppy playtime, you can never look at the glass and see yourself in the reflection, and I started to think what if we are Elliot Ludwig? What if in the future chapters, we’re gonna look at a mirror and see we are Elliot Ludwig?

I am definitely going to wait for your next video! I find it sad that catnap dies, as twisted as that may seem. For me anything that he did was his fault and in the end to get killed by the one person he trusted the most is so sad to see, but it’s kinda the real thing that happens in an everyday life scenario. I’ve been trying to search if the story of poppy playtime and the experiments happened in real life, so if anyone finds anything please share.

Catnap! Thanks for the recap!

Really good video covering lore I am absolutely obsessed with 👍I think poppy's intentions are not what she says they are, more she wants the power over the prototype. I think Oli is defo related to the prototype and I think the prototype will end up becoming our ally on chapter 4 after we find out poppy shouldn't be trusted. Hopefully we don't have to wait as long for chapter 4

Catnap. This was one of the more pleasant recaps I have come across for this game so far.

Well I don’t think so. I don’t believe mommy would have allowed it back then. I think it probably would have been like a little surprise since bonzo is so cute it would be scary but not so scary for the kids since it was supposed to be a game. I think the screaming from some of the children was probably the result of something else killing the proctors.
