Hey, Rem, 2 questions/suggestions + 1 musing. 1. You said in the video WHRP can have a selfish or malicious intent in spreading the Goo. But what if it is none of it, and the Goo TASKS them ("I need to get it out!" "You have work to do") with spreading itself. They are a sick, infected vector of that insanity and have no other choice. Don't you think this would fit the puzzles we already have? 2. I noticed you didn't touch in this update on "pesky bug" update of little grubs, caterpillars, butterflies and others sprouting with the updates here and there, also leading us to many hidden pages. Conscious omission or nothing much to get off of? As those are usually 2 other characters from the show speaking, but not seen in the footage, "pesky bug" suggests to me, they are somehow hindering whatever this black ink is aiming at. (wide stretch: they sacrificed themselves to seal it off the first time the show was around, and now only Wally is left behind, like a horcrux, having it all sealed within him. JUST A HUNCH) 3. (not a question at all) Letting some monsters in, like vampires, was in fables often the requirement to become a victim. If you didn't answer the knocking and didn't let a stranger in, you were safe. But it's your neighbour this time... don't risk it. They might need help ;>
Hey, I have a question. According to the audio file of Wally saying "Let me in.", he does sound panicked, but what if he's faking it? He could be using the goo to get us to go insane (possibly to brainwash us) and when the phone rings, he gains control of our minds to let him in.
I love how much Welcome Home focuses on characters and character interactions, I’m so used to horror being focused on everything EXCEPT that, so it’s a huge breath of fresh air to see them actively focusing on it
I love that there's plenty of red flags surrounding Welcome Home even as far as being hazardous to your health, but I'm still like "Okay but Wally's just a lil guy, just a tiny friendly lil man 🥺" I'd be so dead bro, a puppet invites me over to the neighborhood bet your ass I'm going
I personally get the feeling all the other puppets have actors amd scripts, but wally is sentient but lacks the souls and passion a human actor can provide. It sounds like he kinda creeps out some of the other puppets, and that could be why
That actually would make a lot of sense. It would explain why he trails off during his sentences or why he never seems to be fully aware of what's going on around him. After all, he's a puppet. Those aren't supposed to be alive. They are, by their very nature, supposed to be controlled by some who IS alive. Wally's a puppet without a puppeteer.
It really struck me as strange, when you listen to the audio clips of all the characters interacting, from Wally's POV, it doesn't sound or seem like a kids show. There's no audience interaction, and Wally doesn't speak in any of those. Its just the characters and what feels like a somewhat normal day in the neighborhood. The only weirdness is the final one, with Barnaby telling Home about their day, and you hear Barnaby sound concerned about Wally, because he's acting strange (he stopped painting) I don't really know how it all fits together, but it feels very much like a "final day" type scenario. Or at least a day of importance to either Wally, Home, or the neighborhood in general. That's just me spit-balling though, I have no idea to be honest.
So I've had another idea since the first update: hypnotism, or at least the concept of control. One thing that always stuck out to me as odd was the original "answer" page. It was the static TV with Wally's eyes appearing. But if you look closely, his eyes actually roll backwards as if he's in a trance. The growing presence of the eyes and spirals reminds me of that. Someone is trying to take control and it's causing people to go crazy. The only question is, who's the puppeteer? It could be Wally, but he almost seems like a victim himself as he talks about eyes and has drawn spirals. It could be Home, but that almost seems too obvious. It could also be the black inky substance itself, maybe infecting Home? It's still too early in the project to make any solid conclusions. Great video though!
I'm wondering if Wally has a split personality, like DiD or something similar (or perhaps being possessed by two entities, one begging for help, but the other is kind of being a "cult-like" leader (aka Home).
I've heard one theory that might be worth looking at: Wally's real form is a spider-monster! 1. Look at the ooze you find under HOME at the edges they look like a spider web/web trap. 2. Wally loves apples. But he really gets into drawing eyes! And spiders have how many eyes? 3. The number 8. How many neighbors besides Wally? He doesn't count because he made the web himself! Spiders have eight legs. 4. Plus... the idea is that people get DRAWN in by Wally.... and by the time you are caught....
Just had a thought (rare) being autistic maybe Wally doesn't know he's a puppet, he thinks he's a real person and the confusion is causing him stress/to act out of character. Him not speaking until spoken to can just be him not knowing when it's his turn to speak. Maybe Wally is trying to convince us he's real or convince himself that he's real by speaking to a human.
Maybe he was banished to Earth to live as a puppet alongside other cryptids who were subjected to the same curse, but were there for so long that they had forgotten about their lovecraftian nature. The reason that the show was cancelled and destroyed was because the lovecraftian monstrosities that had imprisoned Wally and his new friends in worldly vessels wanted to stop them from crossing the line between sentience and sapience, possibly because Wally was a threat to the natural order, especially with his insanity goo. Who knows. Maybe the Flatwoods Monster crashed her ship into Earth because she was trying to get away from what Wally used to be before his imprisonment, only to be caught by a group of humans. The Flatwoods Monster may have been the last living member of what was once an advanced race of Flatwoods Monsters.
Okay, hear me out, doesn't the goo remind you about the picture with wally and home? Maybe the thing that seemed like blood was this "insanity goo", at least is what it remids me of, maaybe home is the source of it and Wally wants to scape from it, being the last one not to be intoxicated. Well, that's just a thought, but it could be the explanation of the dissapearence of the other characters, being lost in the goo from the neighbourhood.
I have a theory of my own about welcome home I believe that the puppets start as just puppets unlit one day they became Is sentient (like in my friendly neighborhood) with wally being the first to become sentient, when the puppets did they were confused and maybe afraid, soon one day the cast members that used to worked on the show discovered that the puppets are alive and became horrified by this discovery, then day the cast members attacked wally and his friends and destroyed any welcome home property, by the end of this only wally and home (with home being badly damaged) are alive and now wally is trying to contact people and try to bring back welcome home in hopes that it will bring his friends back to alive again
Okay, here's my idea: Welcome Home has been basically scrubbed from the record. No one remembers it, no one knows anything about it, and there doesn't seem to be any information about it except what the WHRP has been able to scrape together. I think that when the world forgot about the show and the characters in it, Wally did too (and maybe the other characters as well, but we don't have enough information to know for sure). Some of the guest book responses you pointed out in a previous video ("I am a puppet", etc.) read to me like he's repeating the information to himself, internalizing it, like he's learning it for the the first time. And he may not even know what a puppet is, just that people keep saying he's a puppet, so he must be one. The way Wally says "You know me" in the tapes makes me think that's the reason he's begging the intended recipient (either a specific person in-story or the audience) to let him in. He believes they have the answers he's looking for, and he's desperate to know what they know, to know about himself, his friends, his home, etc. To me, Wally sounds desperate in the recordings, sure, but not necessarily panicked, and the way he says "Let me in" doesn't sound to me like he's trying to escape from something. He wants into something, not away from something. I think it's entirely possible Wally knows just as much as we do, either because his memory slowly returns as more is learnt about the show and more people know about it, or because he's watching, or maybe even inhabiting, the Welcome Home website, paying close attention to every little detail that they discover.
I’m pretty sure that Wally and Barnaby in that interview were just actor-played puppets, unless Wally’s puppet specifically is somehow alive. Speaking of which, considering how Wally implied that he can see through art of him, I wonder what will happen with that replica of his puppet… Also, I’m pretty sure Home said “HELP ME” and not “HELLO”, unless there’s two audios from Home.
My theory involves turning to a different arg centered around a restoration project. The June Archive. The June Archive focuses on a being called a memory virus, I think. Maybe the name is wrong, but it’s absolutely the focus. And, it gains power by other people thinking of it. Essentially a living infohazard. And what does Wally repeatedly ask? “Are you thinking about me? Do you see me? I can hear you think. I’ve felt you.” Wally is a memory virus. As a side note, it also focuses on nostalgia, which left a message on the Welcome Home site.
I haven’t heard of that myself, but it reminds me of some interpretations of a Tulpa, a being that is brought to life by a lot of people thinking about and believing in it. That might not be entirely accurate since it feels like something was affecting the archivists before Wally even showed up, but wanting more people to think about him and the idea of more belief giving him (or whatever is controlling/affecting him) more strength, kind of lines up with this. :3
I think it’s very interesting that Wally is the only neighbor able to communicate with us, however I do think the other puppets are still alive in some way…when Wally mentions that his neighbors will be “wondering about that weird phone call” it implies that they’re existing at the same time Wally is talking to us. Perhaps when the goo spreads from home to the other neighbors they too will be able to speak directly to us?? It’s all so confusing yet exciting! I also can’t wait for the queer themes to be explored 😁
i can't be the only one that thinks that wally might (somehow) be gay. he LOOKS very much like a stereotypic gay guy and i think the show's first ep was what is now "coming out day"? i don't know,but i feel like it's important in some way to what's going on.
Not a Theory tho, but the eye symbolism in welcome home seams really important they are drawn all over the sidings of the site and we have the audios of wally talking about looking in our eyes, or us looking at his, and even one of him teaching us how to draw an eye, and the way Wally draw eyes are veeery similar to the symbol we see, but again it could be related to a lot of thing, occult, hypnosis, insanity...I have no idea of what it is but it kind does ring a bell for me
There’s something else, I’ve shown this to a few of my friends but. That TV in the Staff only room…I think its another way Wally’s trying to communicate with the outside world or at least the Staff. My reason for this? Well go to the link that takes you to the video of the static covered TV, the one where if you look long enough you see Wally’s eyes. Its gotta be the same TV transmitting these other scenes we see, not to mention if you look on the media page with the image under the animation cells its the same TV in the staff only page. Brighten the image of the image showing the animation cell of Julie in her cinderella dress an you’ll find a yellow phone the same one in the Staff only page. Wally is sending a message via the TV
I kinda disagree that the other puppets are still alive and aware tho. I mean, i just feel like wally is the only one that doesn't need a puppeteer like in the interview, I just feel like Barnaby's puppeteer could've controlled him because of how uncomfortable and confused wally sounds
Since the show is back in the seventies. I have a theory that Wally needs us viewers to be the other puppets puppeteers because the others could have gotten old. And Wally’s puppeteer is still fine. I also think that since welcome home is known to be forgotten, maybe all the puppeteers are gone. And Wally’s puppeteer is clown currently. Just a dumb therpy
If everyone recalls Gravity Falls ... we learn whenever we see an EYE SYMBOL in the show it's literally Bill Cipher peering into the world. Looking for an in. Trying to find a way to manipulate anyone he can to ESCAPE his prison. I get the itching feeling the same is happening with Wally. On one hand HE wants out. One the other hand the THING clearly manipulating him ALSO wants out. It's a double edged sword.
Has anyone clicked on the bugs? They show videos and Frank is in all of them I think he knows (update sorry my theory is incorrect so yeah)(update I have just discovered that the glitch out when they say Wall I wonder what that might be maybe it’s because certain someone’s puppet is corrupted? End of edit)
I showed a friend welcome home recently and she actually had a pretty out there Thory it was that the aspiration team are actually experimenting on Wall-E and he’s actually an actor who refinances to move on from welcome home
I get that Wally is have autistic traits but I think that shouldn’t rule out the fact he is still an antagonist. I’m still banking on it being Home behind it all, but Wally is definitely not on our side
.... Wait a minute. A small town that you cant escape, a main character who is the only one that seems to see something is terribly wrong... Maybe there IS a connection to uzumaki! Prob far fetched tho
I remember seeing this TikTok of all Wally's audios that mentioned the eyes and how to draw them ... he also mentions that we drew HIS eyes but he still can't see and that on the audio it actually shows Wally drawing the eyes. He says that he has eyes everywhere but still can't see ... Maybe you could link the eye theory to that.
I noticed something on the website that seems quit interesting but no one seems to have really noticed it. In the WELCOME HOME page, there is a picture of Wally painting Barnaby's paw in blue, but when we look closer at it we can see that one of the colorful dot on his paw has some red on it. But it is not supposed to be a red dot but a blue dot, to be honest it kind of looks like blood. And because Wally is painting the big red dot the same blue as the small dot which is covered with what looks like blood, it kind of seems like Wally is trying to "hide" Barnaby's injury. But why would he do that ? I think it must be because he injured Barnaby. And the fact that he is covering it is a bit suspicious, he probably wouldn't have done that if it was by pure accident. So even though the theory in this video looks really believable, i don't think that when Wally says "Let me in" it is out of panic, or at least not only because of it, wether it is because the "insanity goo" already made him mad or because he is the source of the insanity, he doesn't seem to be completly innocent. With that said i would definitely not let him in in my house lol
Now theres is so much goo. And that purple/Grey liquid thing. (The thing that Barbanaby somkes and i remenber see Wally and Barnaby holding it on a cup)
I think the show never existed. One of the new hidden pages about the "Question Answerer" eludes to this. He couldn't find any information on this show anywhere in history, and all the things showing up to be categorized are the first time they've ever been seen before. The WHRP are just the first people infected, and they are creating all of this material/toys/show clips/records etc. It's pretty cool and meta, because we as an audience know the show was never real because Clown invented the universe. But it seems that in-universe, the WHRP are also making this up because they are possessed by the goo. And are using the research site as a way to spread Wally. Wally/Home, is an entity trying to escape. It invented this show and restoration project as a way to get more EYES.
ya know I wonder if the insanity goo is the reason why home is alive in the first place. like we dont know home's origin at all and home is right above the void that is the supposed source of the insanity goo. so what if the goo is what gave home it's sentience?
That’s what I’m thinkin. I think Wally and home were brought alive by this goo, but it’s hurting them. I also think that Wally and home might be the same puppet. I think Wally is acting an about the goo being dangerous, I think he’s trying to convince us to make it seem like he’s the victim, but he’s the main source. The goo symbol is a spiral with an eye. Wally has spiral hair and those same staring eyes. I think he might be tricking us and he’s trying to take over. I also remember that Wally’s hand position in some images is slightly similar to something the Bible mentioned. Something not nice. That’s just a pathetic guess😊
maybe the update changed the password 7:40, but it has not worked for me twice. and i dont know what a different sort of image or hidden image could get a new password?
Btw there secret videos in the website to in like some images where it looks like it’s a bug click on it and see what it is it’s a video of Wally with his friends
I’ve got a quick theory! Just some quick things to get out of the way first: 1.Wally has access to the website and the real world 2.there’s some weird void in or under home 3.Wally (and probably all of the puppets) are aware of the audience 4. No one seems to be really….evil, I don’t think there’s anyone malicious in the welcome home cast… 5. The whrp seem to hiding/ignoring the fact that there is something wrong with this whole show Now for my super awesome theory that will knock your socks off! I personally think that due to the fact that Wally is aware and that there is this ‘insanity goo’ in the neighbourhood (underneath or inside home)and it’s spreading outside into the real world (starting with the staff only page), I think Wally is trying to warn us about this goo spreading out further into the real world…to us, the audience. I think that he’s worried about it spreading through the neighbourhood and to us and that he’s sent these envelopes to the whrp as a sort of cry for help, seeing that this didn’t work and that it infected one of the staff with the insanity goo he apologised and turned to using the website- drawing pictures and leaving messages in the form of website names. I’m not 100% sure as to why the whrp would be covering stuff up though…. Maybe they don’t know about the show at all and are uncovering things about welcome home and keeping things hidden as ordered from someone else, someone who does know about the show….. I also feel as though for the overarching story of welcome home there seems to be 2 stories…sorta….what I mean is that there seems to be a sort of story to do with Wally and the puppets, there’s obviously something off about Wally that the other puppets seem to be noticing and there also seems to be a story between the whrp, us(the viewers) and Wally himself, there seems to be something infecting the site, and the real world that Wally wants to stop, both of these stories seem to sort of merge into one big story, the message of that story is unclear at the moment since we barely know anything at the moment… That’s all for now… just wanted to get this out of my head! @:)
The shaky "It’s in here." quote would be super spooky, except reminds me of one of my mom’s pet peeves; using foot/inch marks ' " instead of proper quotation marks or apostrophes ‘’ “”. I’m too busy focusing on that to be properly scared, lol.
I love the update more questions then answers I need more information and if I remember correctly, someone said on a Tumblr post I believe this is still the beginning? So that means we’re still at the beginning of the chapter
The swirl is supposed to represent One of Wally eye's but also supposed to represent home. And the eye representing Wally watching you, so we can assume that Wally and home are working together to do something....
This is pure speculation, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. The spiral symbol reminds me a lot of the story of uzumaki, a manga where a town is slowly effected by an ancient curse that drives the whole town to spiral driven insanity. What if the goo is like that, driving Wally’s neighborhood to insanity and now that the whrt has reopened the neighborhood, it could potentially affect the real world. Also, the spiral was first seen on home, the first place we saw this insanity goo. Maybe home was the source of all of this, leading to Wally desperately trying to please home to try and stay alive. Maybe that’s why he wants to get out so bad. He is stuck at the center of the spiral, the place that took is friends and he wants to escape
maybe the reason why we hear everyone else on the it's for you phone now is because we would need to talk to the phone in order to you know play with it.
This theory was actually better than Matpat’s! the guy is super hung up on the cult thing that just no longer holds water, hopefully he moves on and ACTUALLY pays attention lol.
Wait... Now that you mention about the black goo and saying we can't or shouldn't touch it with bare hands... It remind me about that picture of Julie joyfully with that weird person behind her. That person is not a puppet, he or she is a real human. I look at the picture again and it looks like that person is wearing a glove on his/her left hand. That might be the person who's hearing the phone keep ringing and have been affected by the black goo. If you seen the picture you can also see the hammer is covered with black goo. We saw that black goo is coming out through the walls in that creepy room too, in real life maybe¿ I just wanted to say, this whole thing is much much bigger and deeper then we thought, and this is what it comes to my mind, I'm not sure about this theory though. I don't know...
speculation a part.. i think it is a hypnotic eyes (if you watch cartoons or anime's who hypnotic you have the same spiral around the eyes) LoLoL but this is a theory.. my theory
I got in the website and wallys house had black underneath. I wasnt on computer. I wanted to look at wallys description and it sent me to a black screen. I dont know what it is cus i got scared. 2. I got to the guest book and the sun head thing said halt! The guestbook is closed. Edit: oop i think u already covered it
@@vampirejoy1999x I didn't think my comment would ever be seen by anyone, let alone acknowledged! What do you think of my theory that Welcome Home and The Backrooms are somehow connected? I'd love to know!
A question that might trigger most but I was thinking, wally once said that he has eyes everywhere I believe but he could not see through them and he also said the disk thingy was an eye, what the the spiral things are his eyes? What if wally is the goo? Or possibly more? Or what if he's just wanting us to join him so in the end we feel the pain he goes through
Another two are at stickers if you go to stickers click on the spider and a star is drawn click on the star he draws.. eyes.. it’s quite not creepy on what he says but I’ll tell u if I find anything else lol
17:59 If you want to know the real secret about him I am talking about wally then you should know the secret about him the secret is goes like this my theory is goes like this if I were the symbol that you are talking about at last I think that is the portal or the ritual that can bring wally in real world and the theory and the things that is going on with wally it is very mysterious duggu is the wally is prison that's why he is always telling us "let me in" in panic
But basically go to website click on the neighborhood then scroll down and click on the bug that is how you get to the video.. and now I feel like somebody is watching me.. werid
Hello, I found something werid when I was looking at the website.. something you didn’t notice.. I was at the home page of the website you know at the neighborhood and I swiped down to the bottom of the page with the other links.. there was a bug.. and when I clicked it it sent me to a video.. I was to scared to watch it lol.. but I was wondering if you could take a look at it it looked very creepy.
I think welcome is real Wally is trying to cross into our dimension Wally is in another universe he has psychic abilities home is an inter dimensional demon he use thoughts as power the other characters are real but I think Wally sacrificed them to home.
On the page where wally iss sitting on a rock on the main page. The updates bit now just says "write hello" it used to have some kind of Halloween thing written there. I dont know if its a joke, because thats all that it says weirdly enough. Not sure if the staff or wally himself is pranking us and im embarrassed that i spent several minutes writing hello under the text for NOTHING to happen. 😂😂😂😂 If it was wally òr the staff, good jòb guys, you got me! Lmao!
After digging through the site some more, looking at the old 1-14 > 14-14 vids now with the phone stuff... I think Wally is trapped in his own body by whatever entity is in the inky rot. Those videos are moments of clarity when he's left alone. All he can do is sit still and stare, but he can listen. The moment the characters turn to speak to Wally the videos cut quickly as the rot takes over. I think the Wally we hear on the phone is that entity, trying now to infect more people. The other characters are spared because I dont think they've touched the rot like Wally did or the other staff member. They all got weird phone calls and probably thought nothing of it. The thing came from an outside source, disguised as fan mail, but has infected Wally, and the staff and production house buried it all. Hoping to keep it from the light of day. Until the WHRP came along. They too are likely afflicted by the entity's rot.
Don't forget, If you have any information to either prove, or disprove this theory, don't be shy to comment it below and I can take a look at it! These theories can always be disproven so they will always be changed and improved as time goes on!
Ayyy this is what i kinda asked for when i dm you! cool like the video!
.
Hey, Rem, 2 questions/suggestions + 1 musing.
1. You said in the video WHRP can have a selfish or malicious intent in spreading the Goo. But what if it is none of it, and the Goo TASKS them ("I need to get it out!" "You have work to do") with spreading itself. They are a sick, infected vector of that insanity and have no other choice. Don't you think this would fit the puzzles we already have?
2. I noticed you didn't touch in this update on "pesky bug" update of little grubs, caterpillars, butterflies and others sprouting with the updates here and there, also leading us to many hidden pages. Conscious omission or nothing much to get off of? As those are usually 2 other characters from the show speaking, but not seen in the footage, "pesky bug" suggests to me, they are somehow hindering whatever this black ink is aiming at. (wide stretch: they sacrificed themselves to seal it off the first time the show was around, and now only Wally is left behind, like a horcrux, having it all sealed within him. JUST A HUNCH)
3. (not a question at all) Letting some monsters in, like vampires, was in fables often the requirement to become a victim. If you didn't answer the knocking and didn't let a stranger in, you were safe. But it's your neighbour this time... don't risk it. They might need help ;>
what is the name of the backgraund music??
Hey, I have a question. According to the audio file of Wally saying "Let me in.", he does sound panicked, but what if he's faking it? He could be using the goo to get us to go insane (possibly to brainwash us) and when the phone rings, he gains control of our minds to let him in.
I don't know where they found these voice actors, but they deserve to have their names up in lights, walking the red carpet.
Agreed. Just absolutely yes.
the creator made a tweet that they were looking for voice actors and provided a link to audition
I love how much Welcome Home focuses on characters and character interactions, I’m so used to horror being focused on everything EXCEPT that, so it’s a huge breath of fresh air to see them actively focusing on it
I love that there's plenty of red flags surrounding Welcome Home even as far as being hazardous to your health, but I'm still like "Okay but Wally's just a lil guy, just a tiny friendly lil man 🥺"
I'd be so dead bro, a puppet invites me over to the neighborhood bet your ass I'm going
Same here
*come,little children i'll take thee away into a land of enchantment. come,little children the time's come to play here in my garden of shadows....*
Same!
Same tbh
I personally get the feeling all the other puppets have actors amd scripts, but wally is sentient but lacks the souls and passion a human actor can provide. It sounds like he kinda creeps out some of the other puppets, and that could be why
That actually would make a lot of sense. It would explain why he trails off during his sentences or why he never seems to be fully aware of what's going on around him.
After all, he's a puppet. Those aren't supposed to be alive. They are, by their very nature, supposed to be controlled by some who IS alive. Wally's a puppet without a puppeteer.
Canonically, Wally is autistic, and ableism is supposed to play a role.
@thatonegirljonesy9750 Really? That would be interesting for his character in-universe.
What do you think home eats?
Wait, he's autistic? Now I feel like a jerk, calling the autistic charcter soulless
It really struck me as strange, when you listen to the audio clips of all the characters interacting, from Wally's POV, it doesn't sound or seem like a kids show. There's no audience interaction, and Wally doesn't speak in any of those. Its just the characters and what feels like a somewhat normal day in the neighborhood.
The only weirdness is the final one, with Barnaby telling Home about their day, and you hear Barnaby sound concerned about Wally, because he's acting strange (he stopped painting)
I don't really know how it all fits together, but it feels very much like a "final day" type scenario. Or at least a day of importance to either Wally, Home, or the neighborhood in general.
That's just me spit-balling though, I have no idea to be honest.
I agree
You have a point.
So I've had another idea since the first update: hypnotism, or at least the concept of control. One thing that always stuck out to me as odd was the original "answer" page. It was the static TV with Wally's eyes appearing. But if you look closely, his eyes actually roll backwards as if he's in a trance. The growing presence of the eyes and spirals reminds me of that. Someone is trying to take control and it's causing people to go crazy. The only question is, who's the puppeteer? It could be Wally, but he almost seems like a victim himself as he talks about eyes and has drawn spirals. It could be Home, but that almost seems too obvious. It could also be the black inky substance itself, maybe infecting Home? It's still too early in the project to make any solid conclusions. Great video though!
I'm wondering if Wally has a split personality, like DiD or something similar (or perhaps being possessed by two entities, one begging for help, but the other is kind of being a "cult-like" leader (aka Home).
I've heard one theory that might be worth looking at:
Wally's real form is a spider-monster!
1. Look at the ooze you find under HOME at the edges they look like a spider web/web trap.
2. Wally loves apples. But he really gets into drawing eyes! And spiders have how many eyes?
3. The number 8. How many neighbors besides Wally? He doesn't count because he made the web himself! Spiders have eight legs.
4. Plus... the idea is that people get DRAWN in by Wally.... and by the time you are caught....
What is the relationship between 'Wally loves apple' and 'Wally loves drawing eyes'?
Just had a thought (rare) being autistic maybe Wally doesn't know he's a puppet, he thinks he's a real person and the confusion is causing him stress/to act out of character. Him not speaking until spoken to can just be him not knowing when it's his turn to speak. Maybe Wally is trying to convince us he's real or convince himself that he's real by speaking to a human.
I love this idea 😁
Please do not hug me, I'm scared.
In one of guestbook messages, he responds to someone called him a “doll”, and he responds with saying “no, a puppet”
@sboy2044 He knows his existence
@@Golden-berryWhat? I don't understand what you're saying
Maybe Wally is a little Lovecraftian guy who can't escape his puppet body and needs help getting out.
Maybe he was banished to Earth to live as a puppet alongside other cryptids who were subjected to the same curse, but were there for so long that they had forgotten about their lovecraftian nature. The reason that the show was cancelled and destroyed was because the lovecraftian monstrosities that had imprisoned Wally and his new friends in worldly vessels wanted to stop them from crossing the line between sentience and sapience, possibly because Wally was a threat to the natural order, especially with his insanity goo. Who knows. Maybe the Flatwoods Monster crashed her ship into Earth because she was trying to get away from what Wally used to be before his imprisonment, only to be caught by a group of humans. The Flatwoods Monster may have been the last living member of what was once an advanced race of Flatwoods Monsters.

Hmm interesting theory
Okay, hear me out, doesn't the goo remind you about the picture with wally and home? Maybe the thing that seemed like blood was this "insanity goo", at least is what it remids me of, maaybe home is the source of it and Wally wants to scape from it, being the last one not to be intoxicated.
Well, that's just a thought, but it could be the explanation of the dissapearence of the other characters, being lost in the goo from the neighbourhood.
Interesting idea! We'll just have to wait and see if this is true!
he is evil he just wants to kill you Wally is bad
I have a theory of my own about welcome home
I believe that the puppets start as just puppets unlit one day they became Is sentient (like in my friendly neighborhood) with wally being the first to become sentient, when the puppets did they were confused and maybe afraid, soon one day the cast members that used to worked on the show discovered that the puppets are alive and became horrified by this discovery, then day the cast members attacked wally and his friends and destroyed any welcome home property, by the end of this only wally and home (with home being badly damaged) are alive and now wally is trying to contact people and try to bring back welcome home in hopes that it will bring his friends back to alive again
Okay, here's my idea:
Welcome Home has been basically scrubbed from the record. No one remembers it, no one knows anything about it, and there doesn't seem to be any information about it except what the WHRP has been able to scrape together. I think that when the world forgot about the show and the characters in it, Wally did too (and maybe the other characters as well, but we don't have enough information to know for sure). Some of the guest book responses you pointed out in a previous video ("I am a puppet", etc.) read to me like he's repeating the information to himself, internalizing it, like he's learning it for the the first time. And he may not even know what a puppet is, just that people keep saying he's a puppet, so he must be one.
The way Wally says "You know me" in the tapes makes me think that's the reason he's begging the intended recipient (either a specific person in-story or the audience) to let him in. He believes they have the answers he's looking for, and he's desperate to know what they know, to know about himself, his friends, his home, etc.
To me, Wally sounds desperate in the recordings, sure, but not necessarily panicked, and the way he says "Let me in" doesn't sound to me like he's trying to escape from something. He wants into something, not away from something.
I think it's entirely possible Wally knows just as much as we do, either because his memory slowly returns as more is learnt about the show and more people know about it, or because he's watching, or maybe even inhabiting, the Welcome Home website, paying close attention to every little detail that they discover.
I’m pretty sure that Wally and Barnaby in that interview were just actor-played puppets, unless Wally’s puppet specifically is somehow alive. Speaking of which, considering how Wally implied that he can see through art of him, I wonder what will happen with that replica of his puppet…
Also, I’m pretty sure Home said “HELP ME” and not “HELLO”, unless there’s two audios from Home.
20:22
Yeah, the *_"Let me in"_* from Wally is definitely a Panicked plead out of desperation, that's my view... Wally is... Kinda relatable... 🍎🎨
Does anyone notice the amount of different horror projects that include strange black substances as core plot devices
From what I recall, the ones I can list are Welcome Home, DON’T FEED THE MUSE, and Kane Pixels’ Backrooms, though I feel like I’m forgetting some
@@sboy2044bendy and the ink machine, right?
Bendy and the ink machine too
The swirling symbol I feel like will have some sort of tie to the rotary phone, you know, because of how you operate it
My theory involves turning to a different arg centered around a restoration project. The June Archive.
The June Archive focuses on a being called a memory virus, I think. Maybe the name is wrong, but it’s absolutely the focus.
And, it gains power by other people thinking of it. Essentially a living infohazard. And what does Wally repeatedly ask?
“Are you thinking about me? Do you see me? I can hear you think. I’ve felt you.”
Wally is a memory virus.
As a side note, it also focuses on nostalgia, which left a message on the Welcome Home site.
I haven’t heard of that myself, but it reminds me of some interpretations of a Tulpa, a being that is brought to life by a lot of people thinking about and believing in it. That might not be entirely accurate since it feels like something was affecting the archivists before Wally even showed up, but wanting more people to think about him and the idea of more belief giving him (or whatever is controlling/affecting him) more strength, kind of lines up with this. :3
@@Pixiemage you should absolutely look into the June Archive, especially if you liked Flipnotes back in the day

BABE WAKE UP REMGAMES UPLOADED
Lol
I think it’s very interesting that Wally is the only neighbor able to communicate with us, however I do think the other puppets are still alive in some way…when Wally mentions that his neighbors will be “wondering about that weird phone call” it implies that they’re existing at the same time Wally is talking to us. Perhaps when the goo spreads from home to the other neighbors they too will be able to speak directly to us?? It’s all so confusing yet exciting! I also can’t wait for the queer themes to be explored 😁
i can't be the only one that thinks that wally might (somehow) be gay. he LOOKS very much like a stereotypic gay guy and i think the show's first ep was what is now "coming out day"? i don't know,but i feel like it's important in some way to what's going on.
@@JT5555I think he and Barnaby are a couple. They're portrayed as "best friends," but each has a matching heart on their foot.
Not a Theory tho, but the eye symbolism in welcome home seams really important they are drawn all over the sidings of the site and we have the audios of wally talking about looking in our eyes, or us looking at his, and even one of him teaching us how to draw an eye, and the way Wally draw eyes are veeery similar to the symbol we see, but again it could be related to a lot of thing, occult, hypnosis, insanity...I have no idea of what it is but it kind does ring a bell for me
I think it may possibly have something to do with the All-Seeing Eye/Eye of Providence which I’m pretty sure is a thing in Freemasonry/the occult
6:33 everywhere I go, I can't escape this FUCKING puppet
There’s something else, I’ve shown this to a few of my friends but. That TV in the Staff only room…I think its another way Wally’s trying to communicate with the outside world or at least the Staff. My reason for this? Well go to the link that takes you to the video of the static covered TV, the one where if you look long enough you see Wally’s eyes. Its gotta be the same TV transmitting these other scenes we see, not to mention if you look on the media page with the image under the animation cells its the same TV in the staff only page. Brighten the image of the image showing the animation cell of Julie in her cinderella dress an you’ll find a yellow phone the same one in the Staff only page. Wally is sending a message via the TV
Love the content! Keep killing it REM Team!
Thank you so much! We will!
I kinda disagree that the other puppets are still alive and aware tho. I mean, i just feel like wally is the only one that doesn't need a puppeteer like in the interview, I just feel like Barnaby's puppeteer could've controlled him because of how uncomfortable and confused wally sounds
Since the show is back in the seventies. I have a theory that Wally needs us viewers to be the other puppets puppeteers because the others could have gotten old. And Wally’s puppeteer is still fine. I also think that since welcome home is known to be forgotten, maybe all the puppeteers are gone. And Wally’s puppeteer is clown currently. Just a dumb therpy
Oop
If everyone recalls Gravity Falls ... we learn whenever we see an EYE SYMBOL in the show it's literally Bill Cipher peering into the world. Looking for an in. Trying to find a way to manipulate anyone he can to ESCAPE his prison. I get the itching feeling the same is happening with Wally. On one hand HE wants out. One the other hand the THING clearly manipulating him ALSO wants out. It's a double edged sword.
Has anyone clicked on the bugs? They show videos and Frank is in all of them I think he knows (update sorry my theory is incorrect so yeah)(update I have just discovered that the glitch out when they say Wall I wonder what that might be maybe it’s because certain someone’s puppet is corrupted? End of edit)
Not all of them, there was a bug-video that had Wally, Poppy, and Eddie, but no Frank.
this has the nostalgic feelings like I am watching game theory when (matpat) was still the host 😅😅.
THANKS MAN, you have given me a part of me...😊
Love how we're ignoring the part of Nostalgia's comment where they say they simp for Wally 😂
we all simp for wally: nothing special about that.XD
I showed a friend welcome home recently and she actually had a pretty out there Thory it was that the aspiration team are actually experimenting on Wall-E and he’s actually an actor who refinances to move on from welcome home
1:04 This is what a cult leader would do.
Thank you for another Welcome Home theory! They are always so entertaining
I get that Wally is have autistic traits but I think that shouldn’t rule out the fact he is still an antagonist. I’m still banking on it being Home behind it all, but Wally is definitely not on our side
It's likely Wally could be an unwilling or unknowing antagonist, if Home is our big antagonist.
When i see a spiral, all i can think about is uzumaki
....
Wait a minute.
A small town that you cant escape, a main character who is the only one that seems to see something is terribly wrong...
Maybe there IS a connection to uzumaki! Prob far fetched tho
Plot twist: What if the black goo is just hella black mold?
I love his theories😊
Thank you so much!
Wally might be trying to escape the goo, but is spreading it instead
maybe the eye symbol could be something for a unknown villain.
I remember seeing this TikTok of all Wally's audios that mentioned the eyes and how to draw them ... he also mentions that we drew HIS eyes but he still can't see and that on the audio it actually shows Wally drawing the eyes. He says that he has eyes everywhere but still can't see ... Maybe you could link the eye theory to that.
That is just the normal 404 page. The normal 404 page has a secret link on it, though.
Bro really pulled out Mat Pat's signature green text.
Whenever I clicked on his first Welcome Home theory video, I genuinely thought it was Mat Pat, until I heard the voice and read the channel name-
I noticed something on the website that seems quit interesting but no one seems to have really noticed it. In the WELCOME HOME page, there is a picture of Wally painting Barnaby's paw in blue, but when we look closer at it we can see that one of the colorful dot on his paw has some red on it. But it is not supposed to be a red dot but a blue dot, to be honest it kind of looks like blood. And because Wally is painting the big red dot the same blue as the small dot which is covered with what looks like blood, it kind of seems like Wally is trying to "hide" Barnaby's injury. But why would he do that ? I think it must be because he injured Barnaby. And the fact that he is covering it is a bit suspicious, he probably wouldn't have done that if it was by pure accident.
So even though the theory in this video looks really believable, i don't think that when Wally says "Let me in" it is out of panic, or at least not only because of it, wether it is because the "insanity goo" already made him mad or because he is the source of the insanity, he doesn't seem to be completly innocent.
With that said i would definitely not let him in in my house lol
Bro y’all know if I was invited to the neighborhood I’d going faster than you can say “Wally darling is the best character”
I forgot I subbed to you this is good ngl
the website is back up and im happy
14:15 dhmis reference???
he has no eyes that was originally his....only drawn by the pain of a madman
Nice job on the theory man!
Now theres is so much goo.
And that purple/Grey liquid thing.
(The thing that Barbanaby somkes and i remenber see Wally and Barnaby holding it on a cup)
I think the show never existed. One of the new hidden pages about the "Question Answerer" eludes to this. He couldn't find any information on this show anywhere in history, and all the things showing up to be categorized are the first time they've ever been seen before. The WHRP are just the first people infected, and they are creating all of this material/toys/show clips/records etc. It's pretty cool and meta, because we as an audience know the show was never real because Clown invented the universe. But it seems that in-universe, the WHRP are also making this up because they are possessed by the goo. And are using the research site as a way to spread Wally. Wally/Home, is an entity trying to escape. It invented this show and restoration project as a way to get more EYES.
ya know I wonder if the insanity goo is the reason why home is alive in the first place. like we dont know home's origin at all and home is right above the void that is the supposed source of the insanity goo. so what if the goo is what gave home it's sentience?
That’s what I’m thinkin. I think Wally and home were brought alive by this goo, but it’s hurting them. I also think that Wally and home might be the same puppet. I think Wally is acting an about the goo being dangerous, I think he’s trying to convince us to make it seem like he’s the victim, but he’s the main source. The goo symbol is a spiral with an eye. Wally has spiral hair and those same staring eyes. I think he might be tricking us and he’s trying to take over. I also remember that Wally’s hand position in some images is slightly similar to something the Bible mentioned. Something not nice. That’s just a pathetic guess😊
maybe the update changed the password 7:40, but it has not worked for me twice. and i dont know what a different sort of image or hidden image could get a new password?
I never actually clicked on videos of My Friendly Neighborhood so I legit thought it was part of the Welcome Home lore
You know it’s a good time rem games uploads
its funny how much the thumbnails game theory and remgames have in common! such a small world
Love your videos❤ especially welcome home vidoes, thanks❤
Btw there secret videos in the website to in like some images where it looks like it’s a bug click on it and see what it is it’s a video of Wally with his friends
I’ve got a quick theory!
Just some quick things to get out of the way first:
1.Wally has access to the website and the real world
2.there’s some weird void in or under home
3.Wally (and probably all of the puppets) are aware of the audience
4. No one seems to be really….evil, I don’t think there’s anyone malicious in the welcome home cast…
5. The whrp seem to hiding/ignoring the fact that there is something wrong with this whole show
Now for my super awesome theory that will knock your socks off!
I personally think that due to the fact that Wally is aware and that there is this ‘insanity goo’ in the neighbourhood (underneath or inside home)and it’s spreading outside into the real world (starting with the staff only page), I think Wally is trying to warn us about this goo spreading out further into the real world…to us, the audience. I think that he’s worried about it spreading through the neighbourhood and to us and that he’s sent these envelopes to the whrp as a sort of cry for help, seeing that this didn’t work and that it infected one of the staff with the insanity goo he apologised and turned to using the website- drawing pictures and leaving messages in the form of website names. I’m not 100% sure as to why the whrp would be covering stuff up though…. Maybe they don’t know about the show at all and are uncovering things about welcome home and keeping things hidden as ordered from someone else, someone who does know about the show…..
I also feel as though for the overarching story of welcome home there seems to be 2 stories…sorta….what I mean is that there seems to be a sort of story to do with Wally and the puppets, there’s obviously something off about Wally that the other puppets seem to be noticing and there also seems to be a story between the whrp, us(the viewers) and Wally himself, there seems to be something infecting the site, and the real world that Wally wants to stop, both of these stories seem to sort of merge into one big story, the message of that story is unclear at the moment since we barely know anything at the moment…
That’s all for now… just wanted to get this out of my head! @:)
Whoa, it's good! I understand it.
I Hope we Get Footage of this Show Soon
Hey bro just reminding you, you and your content are awesome, keep it up (by the way time to get on Murder Drones again lol)
The shaky "It’s in here." quote would be super spooky, except reminds me of one of my mom’s pet peeves; using foot/inch marks ' " instead of proper quotation marks or apostrophes ‘’ “”. I’m too busy focusing on that to be properly scared, lol.
I love the update more questions then answers I need more information and if I remember correctly, someone said on a Tumblr post I believe this is still the beginning? So that means we’re still at the beginning of the chapter
The swirl is supposed to represent One of Wally eye's but also supposed to represent home. And the eye representing Wally watching you, so we can assume that Wally and home are working together to do something....
This is pure speculation, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. The spiral symbol reminds me a lot of the story of uzumaki, a manga where a town is slowly effected by an ancient curse that drives the whole town to spiral driven insanity. What if the goo is like that, driving Wally’s neighborhood to insanity and now that the whrt has reopened the neighborhood, it could potentially affect the real world. Also, the spiral was first seen on home, the first place we saw this insanity goo. Maybe home was the source of all of this, leading to Wally desperately trying to please home to try and stay alive. Maybe that’s why he wants to get out so bad. He is stuck at the center of the spiral, the place that took is friends and he wants to escape
Btw theres “bugs” around the website which shows videos of either Frank or julie or someone chatting to someone
I don't know why but that beginning of the phone call sounded like he's obsessed with us
Yay welcome home!!
Hm, how very interesting, the plot thickens, i wonder what we’ll get next?
Also, nice Theory.
maybe the reason why we hear everyone else on the it's for you phone now is because we would need to talk to the phone in order to you know play with it.
i cant find the link in the exhibition page?
This theory was actually better than Matpat’s! the guy is super hung up on the cult thing that just no longer holds water, hopefully he moves on and ACTUALLY pays attention lol.
Wait... Now that you mention about the black goo and saying we can't or shouldn't touch it with bare hands... It remind me about that picture of Julie joyfully with that weird person behind her. That person is not a puppet, he or she is a real human.
I look at the picture again and it looks like that person is wearing a glove on his/her left hand. That might be the person who's hearing the phone keep ringing and have been affected by the black goo.
If you seen the picture you can also see the hammer is covered with black goo. We saw that black goo is coming out through the walls in that creepy room too, in real life maybe¿
I just wanted to say, this whole thing is much much bigger and deeper then we thought, and this is what it comes to my mind, I'm not sure about this theory though. I don't know...
Where's the picture from?
speculation a part.. i think it is a hypnotic eyes (if you watch cartoons or anime's who hypnotic you have the same spiral around the eyes) LoLoL
but this is a theory.. my theory
I got in the website and wallys house had black underneath.
I wasnt on computer. I wanted to look at wallys description and it sent me to a black screen. I dont know what it is cus i got scared.
2. I got to the guest book and the sun head thing said halt! The guestbook is closed.
Edit: oop i think u already covered it
Soooooo… what happened to the other neighbors??? Are they dead, alive, asleep, on the verge of death, or something else?
Is that the same "black goo" we saw on the walls in the Backrooms? The "black fungus"? 😮 Is Home the house we came out of onto the street?

The butterfly. Click the butterfly. There’s that video…
You didn’t really talk about the bugs at all. What do you think those mean for the lore?
This was a fun Video!
A question that might trigger most but I was thinking, wally once said that he has eyes everywhere I believe but he could not see through them and he also said the disk thingy was an eye, what the the spiral things are his eyes? What if wally is the goo? Or possibly more? Or what if he's just wanting us to join him so in the end we feel the pain he goes through
ok this is odd but on the website there are bugs and if u click/tap on them they will send u to a video there hard to find but it worth it
Another two are at stickers if you go to stickers click on the spider and a star is drawn click on the star he draws.. eyes.. it’s quite not creepy on what he says but I’ll tell u if I find anything else lol
Basically a bug in every section I have checked and there is one at the very top of news.. really click all the bugs
If you go to the info about you and you touch the heart drawing there’s a secret message

If you want to know the real secret about him I am talking about wally then you should know the secret about him the secret is goes like this my theory is goes like this if I were the symbol that you are talking about at last I think that is the portal or the ritual that can bring wally in real world and the theory and the things that is going on with wally it is very mysterious duggu is the wally is prison that's why he is always telling us "let me in" in panic
Ty now i know what welcome home is now :D
do you guys ever heard about THE CABIN FEVER DREAM
if you click on the do you see me wally thing after it is fully loaded, right click, open image in tab. you'll see wally.
But basically go to website click on the neighborhood then scroll down and click on the bug that is how you get to the video.. and now I feel like somebody is watching me.. werid
Also click on the house at the beginning that he draws
Hello, I found something werid when I was looking at the website.. something you didn’t notice.. I was at the home page of the website you know at the neighborhood and I swiped down to the bottom of the page with the other links.. there was a bug.. and when I clicked it it sent me to a video.. I was to scared to watch it lol.. but I was wondering if you could take a look at it it looked very creepy.
i think the more the goo spreads the more aware wally becomes. its like a virus
He has to be connected to it. Doubt tho
when you type in the numbers at the bottom they lead to a new page
I think welcome is real Wally is trying to cross into our dimension Wally is in another universe he has psychic abilities home is an inter dimensional demon he use thoughts as power the other characters are real but I think Wally sacrificed them to home.
Bros thumbnails for theories are just game theory without their logo IT EVEN HAS THE GREEN TEXT
On the page where wally iss sitting on a rock on the main page. The updates bit now just says "write hello" it used to have some kind of Halloween thing written there. I dont know if its a joke, because thats all that it says weirdly enough. Not sure if the staff or wally himself is pranking us and im embarrassed that i spent several minutes writing hello under the text for NOTHING to happen. 😂😂😂😂 If it was wally òr the staff, good jòb guys, you got me! Lmao!
Someone have guest area link pls?
After digging through the site some more, looking at the old 1-14 > 14-14 vids now with the phone stuff... I think Wally is trapped in his own body by whatever entity is in the inky rot. Those videos are moments of clarity when he's left alone. All he can do is sit still and stare, but he can listen. The moment the characters turn to speak to Wally the videos cut quickly as the rot takes over. I think the Wally we hear on the phone is that entity, trying now to infect more people. The other characters are spared because I dont think they've touched the rot like Wally did or the other staff member. They all got weird phone calls and probably thought nothing of it. The thing came from an outside source, disguised as fan mail, but has infected Wally, and the staff and production house buried it all. Hoping to keep it from the light of day. Until the WHRP came along. They too are likely afflicted by the entity's rot.
The welcome home show was always real. It was in between the real world and Wally's world, but a home was corrupted.
