How did he survive? So either he is the prototype mimicking trying to trick us, he's a toy that is trying to help us, or he IS a child but he's dead which is actually a theory of mine that he is maybe a child of Elliot Ludwig cause apparently 1. There was a dead child found at his house and 2. Elliot went through a tragic loss which they never clarified who BUT with everything we know about Elliot, maybe it was a child and he couldn't handle that loss so he tried to bring that child back in anyway he could, maybe as a toy or even Ollie could LITERALLY be the phone or the internet system which is how he can see everything we do.

My tired brain with the two brain cells it has left just realized that the game has to take place in the year 2005. Because at 2:37 Catnap ( assuming that’s him controlling the radio voice) said the protagonist was supposed to be there 10 years ago ( 8-8-1995). So 10 years later after the hour of joy, it’s 2005!

Mike forgot about Bobby Bearhug's cutout lines in the video is what I noticed. Since that one definitely has the most sadest of them all. That Bobby herself wanted a hug until she asks the listener. "Can you take me with you? Please....take me with you...." That one is definitely the saddest one that she is desperately wanting to escape and be free. Wanting to at least be like her toy persona, to be hugged and safe with love.

I think there's a few option. Maybe she didn't know at first and then found out later after this tape. Maybe (as noted below) she didn't know Jeremy was chosen. Maybe she legitimately didn't know where the bigger bodies came from and so she knew that Mommy Long Legs existed but had no idea how they made her (like that she's a really, really good toy).

The "No!" at 19:36, it makes me wonder if Claire is Mommy Long-Legs instead of Marie. During chapter 2, Mommy says that the children called her Mommy since she was the closest thing to one they had. This doesn't make sense since her name is Mommy. But if she was talking about her time as a counselor at PlayCare, it would make more sense. The children under her care called her Mommy. This would also fix a problem that I've always had with the Transfer Request. In an official document for company purposes, the SUBJECT of a request form should be the reason for the request. Therefore, if Claire was Mommy, the form would be saying that Marie Payne was causing Mommy Long-Legs to become hostile, like we see in the VHS, so send her to the Game Station. Also, if there are employees that don't know about the experimentation, it would be a bad idea to put on a form that this thing you work with used to be this person. Which none of the other documents do to my knowledge. This would be the only one. Sorry if this is too out there of a theory, but like I said, the Transfer Request has always bugged me, and this makes a bit more sense to me.

I think you said in your playthrough that it seemed like she wasn’t actually in on the experiments. She’s probably aware that they take kids away (bc she only sounded disappointed when she read that the kid was out for testing, not like in an “oh shit” tone), but isn’t sure what happens beyond that and just knows she won’t be able to adopt a child out. I think if she actually knew, she would’ve made a more believable lie than “I don’t know” (if she were in on it, I would think she would’ve kept a few believable lies in the back pocket just in case; assuming she probably would’ve KNOWN he was taken for testing BEFORE the adoptive parents showed up).

Honestly regarding the smiling critters cardboard tapes, What i find very interesting is the fact that from the sounds of it, not all the critters may not have lost their minds and were trying to potentially help some of the kids.

The voice actor did so good for Ms. Harper, you can really hear the pain and sadness in her voice.

I had an idea that maybe some of the Smiling Critters tried to work together to escape Catnap, like Bobby Bearhug and Hoppy Hopscotch. Hoppy says that she wants to jump to the moon (which could mean escaping?), but keeps on failing. She then screams to jump, which is where her voice lines end. Bobby Bearhug says that she loves “you” to the moon and back, which I took as a reference to Hoppy’s lines. Bobby also seems to have died after Hoppy if my theory is correct, which is why she says “I’m lost without you”, referring to Hoppy being her only, or most trusted, friend.

You’re forgetting an important detail here, I think. CatNap is associated with the Moon and his chest emblem is literally a Moon. Hoppy easily could’ve said “to the Sun and back”, but they didn’t. Makes me think that maybe the allusion there was to Hoppy trying to escape CatNap or trying to fight him, with Bobby obviously following.

Honesty, the last voice the Prototype uses, was that of the researcher himself. Wouldn't that imply that the Prototype is also capable of vocal mimicry?

Actually, Theo worked with the prototype. They tried to escape together, however it is implied Theo was hurt during this process, so the prototype had to take him back to the scientists, thus as punishment for his actions, he was added to the list. After his procedures, I think it is fair to say that catnap found hope in the prototype, and that he would be the one to save them all. Which just makes his ending all the more sad, someone he thought was a savior and whom he had trusted and worked with over a decade.. I definitely think this makes sense as both of them experienced the same hardships with both scientists and being locked away alone.

Which makes things a lot sadder, can't imagine what that would have done to them both emotionally and psychologically.

That left Picky, Catnap, DogDay, and Hoppy. - Hoppy and Kickin tried to escape before they were turned. Hoppy was the bossy and older leader, and Kickin was the more skittish and scared one. - DogDay was able to subtly convince the two to leave, and tried to help them escape.

4:35 - 4:46 Bubba Bubbaphant displayed a 'myth' about real elephants; they never forget anything, although some elephants tend to forget. When Bubba said, "Want to know what I remember about you?" and then screamed, he must be referring to the scientists; he remembers the horrible things the scientists did to the poor children and the toys. 4:54 - 5:11 KickinChicken, or the child inside him, must be referencing about how all the toys and even the children being trapped in Playcare Co., and have never seen the outside world. The scream at 5:12 may suggest that when they try to escape, they face 'consequences'. 6:01 - 6:09 PickyPiggy is probably talking about KickinChicken, Bubba Bubbaphant, and CraftyCorn. It might suggest that due to PickyPiggy's appetite and hunger, she doesn't think twice about eating her own friends, as stated at 6:13 and the suspicious tone of PickyPiggy's voice. 6:20 - 6:59 When I first listened to Hoppy Hopscotch's voicelines and the way she is desperate to successfully 'jump to the moon', I thought she was obsessed with reaching goals at height stakes (literally), and would take failures personally if she didn't accomplish. It was then I realized "jumping to the moon" must have meant "jumping to escape". At 6:42, she's encouraging us(?) to not quit until we 'reach the moon'. At 6:49 - 6:54, she doesn't sound that desperate; she sounds panicked, as if something was chasing after her and us. Then at 6:55 - 6:59... We didn't 'make it to the moon' at all, sadly. 7:01 - 7:13 DogDay's lines are similar to Hoppy's. He is urging us to run and not 'stay'. Or else... 7:14 - 7:24 7:26 - 7:51 When CraftyCorn mentioned the color blue at 7:31, all I thought of it was Huggy Wuggy, since he is the first monster-in-motion we encountered. And he _is_ blue. Things took a darker turn at 7:35 - 7:51, when she demanded more red paint, despite there isn't any left, and she became desperate. Then afterwards, we all know exactly what she was referring to when she said we're 'hiding some red from her', as well as what she could have done to us afterwards. Or she could be referring to the Red Smoke. Extra: Bobby BearHug's Voicelines: "Hi! I'm Bobby BearHug!" "Wanna know how much I love you?" "I love you to the moon and back." "I'm crazy about you." "I'm lost without you..." "I've been lost a long time..." "Please, take me with you this time." "You won't leave me, will you?" The 5th - 8th voicelines indicate how the toys are very sentient as humans, and they lost their minds after not only being experimented on, but also after feeling alone, helpless, lost, and suffering at the hands of the merciless people, to the point the toys become twisted and malicious. But deep inside, the toys are nothing but innocent children, crying for help. Bobby's quivering voice when she said, "You won't leave me, will you?". She hinted that she, and probably other toys, might have suffered from Autophobia (also known as Monophobia, Isolophobia, or Eremophobia), or fear of being alone.

A lot of that could be explained that the scientist purposely pushed and encouraged the kids to bond and love their toy. Because the more they do, the more the assimilation process would work

Out of all the cut outs, Crafty Corn is the only one who sounds like she actually “kills” whoever pushed the button, then saying she got some red paint afterwards. Kinda creepy from a shy, meek cartoon horse. Too bad we couldn’t hear what Daddy Long-Leg sounds like. Even Baby Long-Leg had no button to push.

I thought Picky Piggy was just mentioning normal meat that people normally like... until she mentioned 'seared elephant and flayed unicorn', then 'Can you and I be friends..'

I bet the protagonist is Stella Grayburn Her audio tape is the only tape that plays sinister music once she realizes that a kid is being experimented on. If you listen to the audio tapes she is one of the only characters that goes through an arc as joyful new hire to becoming a counselor. You can really feel the guilt in her audio recording and how she was probably used to make the kids comfortable with PlayCare.

So I have a theory that the smiling critter’s cutouts could hint at how each of them died after the hour of joy. The elephant might’ve been unable to get over the horrors it saw, remembering the hour of joy and eventually going insane. The chicken and bunny could’ve tried to escape Playcare, and died in the process. The pig probably got too hungry and Catnap had to kill them so they wouldn’t rampage Playcare. DogDay is the one I’m most sure about. I think he was trying to warn other toys to try and escape Playcare, and Catnap didn’t like that, leading to the state we find him in during chapter 3. The unicorn probably just went insane like the pig did, and Catnap had to kill them too. Just a theory though!

I have a few theories about the fates of few of the smiling critters Let's start with Craftycorn, we know she really needed the color red, and you might infer it's blood and it might really be blood, but she might've used it to write the letter that brought us here, it was all in red. Then we have Bobby Bearhug, there is clear evidence that she might not be dead. Firstly, her cardboard cutout doesn't feature a scream like the rest. Secondly, she doesn't appear on the shrine of The Prototype, we also know that Catnap being the last smiling critter(which is what Ollie told us) is straight up wrong since Dogday was still alive by then, which means Dogday could also be wrong about being the last smiling critter.

Imagine calling in sick and looking on the news and hearing everyone got murdered. “Well good thing I called in sick”

What's even more scary is that during the beginning of the game where they show that episode of smiling critters; during the static, I took the chance to brighten up the screen of both statics and all I seen were pairs of eyes. One of the static had more than one pair of eyes on them. It was so creepy.

I think Claire Harper, the care worker who took care of Marie Payne, is the person who now possesses Kissy Missy, and the picture she was holding was of Marie Payne. The tapes are all meant to explain something about the lore. Why would we get a tape about some care worker who was SO intensely upset about what happened to a child and demanded to see her? Sure, the tape explains what the red smoke causes in the children, but her reaction is so strong, so dramatic, she must've really cared about Marie! And the way Kissy Missy is sitting on that bed, holding that picture in a heartbreaking silence, I can't help but think that it's Claire Harper remembering Marie, feeling heartbroken about what happened to her and to herself. Also, can I just say how amazing I find it that despite Kissy Missy's enormous grin, the character designers still managed to make her look so incredibly sad and lost? Throughout this whole chapter, I felt terrible for her, she seemed miserable.

That 1 guy being chased by 8 teachers in the hour of joy

24:40 - So, um... after seeing the hard hat on the skeleton in CatNap's monument to the Prototype, and after literally a single audio, does anyone else think the Prototype is Rich Avery? (I can't remember the others, so if any other VHS contradict this theory, feel free to lemme know. I kinda only half pay attention to any Poppy Playtime videos I watch. ^^;;) - He has a short temper. And we know the Prototype is *aggressive* considering it orchestrated the 'Hour of Joy'. (Not that I blame it, all things considered and all the other things we likely don't know about *to* consider.) - He cares about the kids. One of the only things we've heard from Richie is that he wanted better for the children than what they were getting in PlayCare, and if the Prototype spared the children from the Hour of Joy and even allowed CatNap to squirrel them away from Miss Delight, clearly it has a soft spot for the children too. Hell, it even tried to help Theo escape, and it cared about him so much that it even let PlayCo's dubious medics rescue him. - He's at least a little intelligent. While it's not clarified what Stu does, he's clearly in a position that can't wait until after he's gone for a successor. That implies he's in a specialised/important position, which usually requires some degree of know-how in whatever line of work one is in. And we already know that the Prototype is comparatively more intelligent than the toys made of children. - The other VHS tapes. Almost every other VHS has referred to a PlayCo employee, or whatever the monster of the chapter is, or it just generally has a very clear reason for why it's being presented *where* it's being presented. Yet, this one, with Rich and Stu, is probably the most random. It doesn't sound like they work directly *in* PlayCo since they aren't allowed to interact with the kids. And *where* do we find this VHS? In the caverns wherein CatNap's effigy to the Prototype resides. - The hard hat. Richie refers to a shipment, and is one of two people transporting it. From my understanding, sometimes people in charge of moving shipments within warehouses need to wear hard hats, which makes sense considering how heavy some of the items are and how high they can be stored. (This point is DEFINITELY a reach, I'm aware.)

Which might imply he was under the influence he was going to finally get to go home after probably being there for a long time and probably might have saw something he shouldn't have.. so they decided to play it off as if he was gonna be released from work but then either the hour of joy happened, or they Force him to stay somewhere in the factory on purpose to make sure one of the violent toys would find him and it be "taken care of" that way....

I'm starting to believe more and more that Richie is the character we play as . For the evidence, Richie knew about everything that happened behind close doors. And the tape that we find in this chapter might mean he got to a high position and they informed him about what happened to the more closed off parts of them company

I agree with you because they keep bringing him up in every chapter and if Richie wasnt important they wouldn't keep mentioning him and I don't think it's a tape saying that Richie died and Richie had a family and he really cared about the children but remember one of the tapes said they thought richie would be perfect for the job even though he was known for complaining about how he didn't like what was going on with the children he still cared and poppy said we didnt anything wrong we were just an innocent employee so if thats the case we were about to be promoted but for some reason we missed the promotion party/meeting and i think this is because richie conscience got to the better of him and decided not to come to work on the day the hour of joy happened and we only came back because the "gulit" he's feeling is survivor guilt

Honestly I agree. Statistically I don’t think the main character would be a woman, although that’d be a breakthrough in storytelling. The promotion and meeting part is more likely where the dots connect, therefore the main character is Richie or he’s important at least to a certain degree.

Also, Richie always complain to everything but deep down, he cares to the orphan kids. So, maybe Richie either already got fired or got sick on HOJ moment so he's very lucky. And because he was too much talking, he decided to stay quite through the entire game. But then again, remember the letter that on the floor after we get off the slide from Chapter 2? With the letters: J,A,H,Y,E,O,N,B,A,I,M. None of the letters have the letter R stands for Rich or Richie. Also, the letter is in Production so the player used to be Head of Production team and Richie looked like he was just a regular employee who just doing delivery service or things. Knowing how Mommy and Miss Delight are so pissed off to see the player while Poppy feels delightful to see the player, I could see the jealousy coming from both of them and let's assume that the player is a man because 2 female toys are so angry towards him.

@thecosmickingx9477

@margarethmichelina5146 you make a good point. Richie does seem like he could be a delivery service man, but that could also mean he had many chances to see all of the wrongdoings the company was up to. But then again, with the hour of joy, there were many deaths but no conformation of who all died. So all opinions on this matter are valid.

There are multiple disturbing things about this. The most disturbing thing is the fact that the date when the entities ended up running around killing people was preferred as the “ the hour of joy” in the case of the context with the whole killing people and child experiences chilling.

Here's my theory of who our protagonist could be. I have two potential candidates such as Stella Greyback or Richie from the VHS tape. Here's why. For Richie, he seems to be the level headed man who had been given an opportunity to gain a higher position but we don't know if he took it. He was clearly concerned about the conditions, especially when not talking to the kids. It would make so much sense if he didn't return on the day of 'the hour of joy' because he wouldve had a family by now and had moved on but was consumed by guilt of what happened to his co-workers when he hadnt heard of them. For Stella Greyback, she has many reasons why she wouldn't return back on 'the hour of joy'. She had been given many opportunities during the game to higher positions but when she learned of the VHS where the boy that was meant to be given away to two potential parents was up for 'testing' she would have asked about it to her superiors and might have gotten terminated. In conclusion, Richie or Stella could be the protagonists of the story. We don't know which one it is but I hope when the final chapter comes up we will know, just a theory is all😅

Jacksepticeye took one look at kickinchicken and immediately said "oh this bird high as hell"

okay, here me out. i think that the character that we are playing as is one of the main scientists. i mean- it just makes so much sense as of why the toys hate us so much and want us dead and why they recognize us. we were there! the whole time and did awful things. ( explaining during the hallucinations from the red gas and why poppy was telling us what we had done. ) buttt, that’s just my theory. but i still believe that we are one of the bigwigs and that’s why we left because we were in deep shit. anyway mike, i absolutely love this video!! keep making more. :) can’t wait for chapter 4.

alr lemme explain the cutouts: Bubba Bubbaphant: He remembers we weren't here during the Hour of Joy Kikin-Chicken: He's encouraging the kids to escape but they failed. PickyPiggy: Grilled Chicken: Kickin-Chicken; Scared Elephant: Bubba Bubbaphant; Flayed Unicorn: Crafty Corn; She wants to be friends with us so that she can eat us. Hoppy Hopscotch: She tries to encourage the kids to escape. They fail the first, second, thrird and last time. Dogday: Also encourages the kids to escape and run out the doors. CraftyCorn: Blue, as in (maybe) Water. Red, as in blood. As the scream she might have attacked and ate Bubba as they were seen together, and Mike missed her last voiceline, she said "Ah! Now that's much better." as she full.

I have a theory about what's going on with the Protagonist: At first, I thought they were a Playtime Co. higher-up and the reason for that radio broadcast was because the toys behind the slaughter were upset one of their torturers got away. Perhaps the protagonist was tipped off about the event and knew to stay away. But that wouldn't make sense given that, if they WERE a higher-up, then Poppy should be upset with them for their involvement. Plus, why would a higher-up who survived and knew something was up go back to the factory looking for their coworkers? Instead, I think the Protagonist was an employee who became one of the victims of the Bigger Bodies Initiative. They are now a converted toy. After all, we haven't gotten a clear look at the protagonist yet. Poppy and Kissy Missy also treat the Protagonist fairly respectfully, implying they view the Protagonist as another victim who deserves kindness. Perhaps the Protagonist is an escapee like in that clip of Huggy Wuggy escaping, but unlike Huggy, the Protagonist was never recaptured. Perhaps the voice on the radio is angry because they wanted ALL toys involved in the Hour of Joy but the Protagonist had bolted, leaving/abandoning the other victims. Maybe the "coworkers" the Protagonist is worried about are other converted toys and they went to see if they needed help. How would a converted toy survive outside all of the years without being found out by passerbyers? Easy, they're a humanoid doll like Miss Delightful, able to pass as human well enough. Miss Delightful DOES clearly have human anatomy as shown with her character model. Whose to say there weren't more like her and her sisters? Maybe Miss Delightful was introduced purely to tell the audience that humanoid toys exist here.

One small detail I've noticed is that CatNap poses with his arms open in the cartoon. Right before the other critters fall unconscious. Similar to when he’s worshipping the shrine or when The Prototype comes for him. Thought that was really cool. :)

All 5 Critters lines sounded so sad. Dogday who we just meet dies telling you to run away only for the cut out to tell you to leave as well. Then we have Bobby who was afraid you were going to abandon her again asked the player to take her with you. Then Hoppe's desperation to hop to jump and get out danger only to her getting caught and killed by someone. Then Kickin Chicken trying to be brave as he can despite being scared only to die by trying to lead the way out. Then Bubba was going to tell you what he remembers about you only to get screams of pain in the end was also sad because either the MC did something really terrible or Bubba was going to say too much and got Axed just for potentially spoiling a secret. These were probably the bigger bodies talking because I don't see the smaller ones giving you this audio. Catnap just sound pissed that you woke him up. And Craftycorn and Picky...um....I'm not gracing it with a description...

The cutouts i feel reveal the fate of the smiling critters. Piggy and Crafticorn became unhinged muderous henchman for Catnap Kickin and Hoppy seemed to have tried to escape the facility or lead others to safety and were killed for it. Bobby, being a lover not a fighter, was neglected into depression. probably silently starved to death and was just eaten. Bubba and DogDay were "heretics". killed and eaten bit by bit. DogDay the 'leader' was strung up as an example and tortured to death (note his chained up pose was identical to his sleeping pose in the cartoon) Piggy was probably the last to die before Dog ay, as she survived long enough to eat the others.

I feel like one of the main points are whether Ollie is a toy of some kind or actually Prototype mimicking the voice, because his voice and character seems too childish and too innocent even for the story’s atmosphere. Also him being a bright, cheery new character is sus as hell. (So the developers would hint to us simply through his character’s traits.) Ollie and prototype has to hold a bigger secret than other toys- if Ollie is sinister and he managed to trick poppy as well, it leads to a big door for evil/ ulterior motives. Also Elliot Ludwig knew what was going on, no doubt. He’s too much of an entrepreneur to quietly pass, so the possibilities are either he’s just dead regardless OR he transformed himself into one of the characters, most likely the prototype since it’s the main boss of the series for now. Just my current guess tho.

Its ironic that the one human that seems the most concerned about the children and their needs is the one thats the angriest that we hear. He understands he needs to be calmer however his concerns are right. Clearly he cares about orhers safety though theres a clear reason why the kids cant leave: besides the fact that they are the test subjects, if any of them who saw too much or living toys snuck around with the children, they could escape and be a danger to others. Such as huggy escaping.

When I discovered the room with Kissy Missy looking at the photo I truly felt awful for everything that has happened. Even though the toys killed many people, you still gotta feel awful for them on remembering that they were once children before they were experimented on and became these monstrosities that were forced to never leave the factory.

Oh, and the less we say about their hunger, the better.

To me his final boss battle kinda kills almost all of the hype he builds up, I know it's kinda done already with both chapter 1,2 and dog day but an elaborate chase would have actually been better than "kinda fnaf but shttier and without a camera".

13:46 Theo wasn't trying to escape FROM the prototype, he was trying to escape WITH the prototype. If you follow the ARG and in game notes, it very soundly leads to the conclusion that Theo's imaginary friend was the prototype and Theo tries to escape with it. In a failed attempt, the currents from the door(s) shocked his heart into stopping. The prototype could've escaped, but it instead chose to take Theo to get medical attention by dropping him off outside an office door. Theo was made aware that the prototype saved him, and now he worships the prototype

That good bye Sam tape reminds me so much of the promised neverland. They think he’s going to a lovely home when he’s just getting taken away to get experimented on and turned into a giant toy

Theory: Ollie is the prototype and we can assume this because he could be impersonating a child or a toy like the Mimic from FNAF and how else could he use access the technology and know where the player is when the Prototype controls the technology. Also, Ollie tells us to avoid the Playhouse for an unknown reason and DogDay is about to tell the player something about you can stop this, the torment, the… and is then conveniently killed.

2:53 I actually believe that since this is occurring during the events of inhaling the red smoke, that this is instead the player’s guilt talking about them (you weren’t there on that day when everyone needed you, you left them all 10 years ago, you have no right to come back and attempt to break down this world that you clearly don’t have control over anymore), this can also be backed up by how afterwards when watching the tape it directly talks about the player and coming back years later full of guilt into a world that monsters own now before the nightmare huggy spawns in and crawls down the hall like it did in the vent chase in chapter 1. We also know that red smoke is used to put people (and in turn, the player) to sleep but unintentionally giving them nightmares, so it makes sense that the player, full of guilt of leaving their coworkers on the day of the hour of joy, is having some voice talk down to them both in tapes/radios in a nightmare fueled by their guilt only to add onto it by reviving the horrors they (and possibly their coworkers) faced of Huggy in chapter 1 of the vent chase with the nightmare worsening with the concept of the player this time failing to escape. The game then shows that ever since you inhaled the red smoke that everything since has just been a dream so it wouldn’t make sense that the prototype would be talking to the player when it’s a nightmare the player is currently having full of the guilt they have from being absent from that day for 10 years (something that tape backs up by directly referring to the player returning years later feeling bad about what they’ve done). Idk, these are my thoughts on what I interpret the messages to mean, it’s all interesting to think about tbh
