It’s been theorized that the biologist (P.W.) who left the notes is the character we play as in the main game, as in the schedule at the end list his birthday as June 28th, which is the same birthday the Bunzo cutout in Chapter 2 stated. How do you feel about this?
It's interesting that they drew particular attention to Bobby BearHug, and not another Experiment like DogDay. A few people are taking that to mean we might see her in a future chapter. (A side note that it's also interesting we still don't have the experiment numbers for the other Critters apart from Bobby and CatNap. Who was 1187, for instance? Clearly they still had one or two issues when they got to CatNap because Leith Pierre mentioned his voicebox 'still' being broken)
Bobby bearhug was the first critter to be made, so it was probably still new for the scientist, and catnap had his red smoke, so his voice box was probably tangled up with his red smoke box
The devs confirmed the music video isn’t canon Also he is contradicting himself, because the book is like a diary, he says one thing and learns more information after that
Yes they did say that the music video isn’t canon, though they did say that it is lore-friendly, so the things that happened in it could definitely have happened in canon, just not exactly
P.W. could be part of Leith Pierre's men, whoch would explain how he knows about the PJ incident, along with the Bigger Bodies and Playcare. Being a high ranking security member would require you to actually know the full extent of what's happening.
Definately. However, so was Stella, but she was kept in the dark about some things too. It'll be fascinating to see how much more (or less) Pierre's inner circle really knew.
Possible. This may have been what Dr Sawyer was talking about by getting Boxy Boo to eat flesh. Staff were sent in under false pretences so the BBI toys could practice hunting and eating their prey.
My personal theory is that Project: Playtime takes place in 1993-1994 after the Theater Incident as part of the “clean up” mentioned in the phone audio log during the Chapter 4 ARG
@@RosesTeaAndASDThis theory does make sense, since in the Phase 2 tutorial (R.I.P), they said something about “feeding time” which is probably when they release the experiments to go hunt down people in the closed off areas of the factory
GUYS, YOU'RE MISSING SOMETHING BIG. It says "Your birthday" on June 28th, the same birthday that Bunzo Bunny said to our player. Meaning that we can infer that our player is the author of those notes in the orientation notebook
The whole Playhouse bit about confiscating any toys that WEREN'T made by Playtime co.? I find that to be a horrible anti-child practice, possibly sowing needless tribalism in some cases. Some of those orphans got through some very tough times BECAUSE of those toys, and you just take them away because 'Well, we didn't make them'? Bit of a boneheaded move, IMO
Playco thinks making them attached to the toy they will become is the best play, at least from my understanding. Cruel yes, but it helps the process more.
@@ろうにん浪人 I'll grant you that, but still-some of those kids have formed a bond with their old toys due to certain situations (thunderstorms, parental squabbling/neglect, etc), and to deny them the toy responsible is, in my opinion, borderline INHUMANE!
@@ろうにん浪人 Again, fair-that's just a detail that REALLY irks me, because it can be seen as a form of attempted force towards the kids in their care, something I can't fully abide.
Light Bulb moment just randomly popped up: P.W. was a biologist in the factory but since he had access and information about Playcare (where only playcare staff or authorized employees are allowed) they might just be Dr. White from the VHS tape in Home Sweet Home and it would line up with the last name letter and the fact that they knew about the experiments too but I don't have too much evidence to prove it other than that but P.W. gives off the feeling to me that it might be the main Protagonist that you play as(I might just be desperate to find out who the player is though so idk).
That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking! As far as I know, he’s the only character we know of so far with a surname starting with W. Nor does he have a confirmed first name, so maybe his first name starts with P? Something like Paul, Peter, Patrick, Patton, Philip, Pierce, or Phineas. Personally, I’m a big fan of Paul and Phineas as name choices, I think they fit nicely. Only problem with this theory is that I’m pretty sure it’s confirmed that Dr. White is a dude, assuming he’s the man talking in the tape regarding Samuel Lee, and our character is supposed to be gender ambiguous. If it’s not, then there’s no issue, but I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be. In that case, they could retcon it and make Dr. White’s gender ambiguous, and the first name can be something gender neutral like Paige or Percy. I’m not sure this theory is correct, PW more likely stands for Playtime Worker, but I think PW being Dr. White actually makes more sense. The voice is the only thing throwing me off.
One theory that I’ve heard about the smiling critters cartoon- is that it portrays how the orphans were during the hour of joy. The clock in the cartoon is set to the time of ten o’ 6 which is 1006 for the prototypes number, and how the storm were the screams and deaths from the other areas of the factory. This then leading to catnap coming in and the children ending up asking him to put them out of their misery. (Plus a side note is if you look at the positioning of how the critters are “resting” in the end of the cartoon is the same kinda of positions that the actual bigger body critters died or the last position they took was in- for example Bobby bearhugs position and dog day)
2:42 Elliot Ludwig’s signature is the same color. Also, no offense, but you seriously still believe Project Playtime takes place after the Hour of Joy? Poppy said that everyone was killed and the employee calendar ends at the same exact date as the Hour of Joy.
Yes, Project Playtime was taken place after the Hour Of Joy. Leith Pierre hire RES to collect toy parts so that Playtime Co could continue their work as the factory was taken over by the toys after The Hour Of Joy
@@diypropsmodels7064 I know now, but that raises a bunch of questions such as the ones I’ve already said, and: -Miss Delight is confused by the protagonist being alive. Miss Delight works with CatNap, who was planned to be added to Project Playtime, thus both should know that some employees are still alive. -Huggy is still referred to as the security guard in the survivor tutorial, and is still being fed by the employees, which shouldn’t be necessary after the Hour of Joy. -The mini Huggies are said to be “starving” in the monster tutorial, even though I would think that there should still be some corpses left. -How would the company expect to return at all? The incident in its entirety couldn’t have been covered up because the protagonist at least knows that everyone in the factory disappeared but not the specifics of what happened, just like anyone else that wasn’t in the building at the time.
Project Playtime takes place BEFORE poppy playtime. Because why do you think Leith Pierre is still alive? And if it took place after the hour of joy then how come he isn’t dead and how come he doesn’t mention anything about the hour during project playtime?
LOVED this review of the book and all this delicious lore! As for the orphans still coming in, maybe after The Hour of Joy they had the kids in another area that had beds and a bathrooms but nothing much else. And maybe...maybe they were gonna use these kids as bait....
CutCafe I have to say your voice reminds me so much of Steven Universe being super excited to share lore about a game he's into and that's extremely fun.
5:15 Correction: the day AFTER In my headcanon, the staff meeting was the employees to discuss a few excuses to explain the deaths of 11 employees to the families of those employees
6:14 In fact, it is impossible that Poppy is Elliot's daughter, as the supposed “Elliot's daughter” died in the 60s, while the Poppy we know was created in 1950.
We should explore the theory a little more, remember that mommy’s experiment was done before her toy, there is a chance something similar happened with Poppy and Elliot’s relative
@@sboy2044 In the alternative dialogue at the end of Chapter 2, Poppy makes it clear that she was the first experiment to work, and that she blames herself for that.
The Poppy DOLL came out in the 50s. Who knows when the BIGGER BODY was created. As the devs made it clear that the toy and the monster are separate entities.
I love the video, and I have a hypothesis regarding the contradictions you found in the book. The pasted notes may not all be from the same date. It is possible that at one moment the narrator does not know why or when of something and then upon discovering it, he pastes another with clearer information. Thank you very much for the video.
A bit late, but I waited _long_ for another video. And it is beautiful like every other vid UwU 👌 Edit: A bit curious, but do you actually know how to read latin? You seem to use it with ease, especially with how confident you are with your translations and how you were even able to decipher the slightly covered up text in one of the pages.
Actually nope! Don't know Latin at all, but I used a mix of Google Translate, ChatGPT, and websites with word translations to verify everything. I am trying to learn Norwegian though!
You know, there's a secret and point site throughout these chapterstabbed her and it's the fact that the handprints on certain objects are hints to grab packs. Let me tell you what I mean on the box that you used to cow. Huggy, there is a green handprint a.k.a. Like the green hand. And on the vengeance cover, there is a yellow hand probably reference saying the hand in the bso.Next time, make sure you pay attention to hand prints and their colors.Because it might be telling us future hands
Could the gray stain be something else? We see how blood looks like in the page with Catnap, it's red. If it was blood there too, why not make it the same color? What if is instead something like Sweat by writing nervously or a tear drop? Man, I don't even like Poppy Playtime and the company behind it, and here I am theorizing over this video because of you TTuTT
You make me laugh CC. Your voice sounds beautiful. Like a sea slug. :) The song is not considered canon. "Marie" is pronounced "MM+UGH+RR+EE", not "Mary". =) This may sound off-topic, but that image of Boxy Boo always intrigued me. Based on the scratch marks, it looks like he's being pulled back . . What do you think? Very thorough and detailed video. God bless and have a nice day! ^u^
9:03 the Calendar is from 1995, which means the date you're focusing on is FEBRUARY 1ST 1995 and do i need to remind you that The Hour of Joy happened in AUGUST 8TH 1995.
P.W discussing the policy regarding the Take-Toys-and-Gaslight-Children rule might now be a contradiction. He does say that they weren’t allowed to talk to kids, but just because he knows about a rule they had doesn’t mean that the other part about the toys isn’t true as well. He can know the policy and not be allowed to talk to the kids as well. Otherwise, this is a good breakdown of the book and its contents. I honestly feel like it manages to at least partially break the mascot horror book curse, given that it mostly has game related information with small worldbuilding details added in as well. Awesome video!
Wait project play time was after the hour of joy. I thought it before due to leith pierre talking in the trailer and Tutorial, and why would people who can escape and call the cops be making Giant toys. if playtime co did not hired them since playtime co is destroy after the hour of joy
The amount of joy in ur voice when you get to be objectively correct about Avery was beautiful.
RIGHT
Looks like dog matpat is back

Hmm... could be interesting! I hope we hear more about PW either way!
this is a crack theory but P.W. could mean player worker. it probably doesn't but that's what crack theories are for.
Interesting. Perhaps it more than a mere shout-out . .
Does that mean the mysterious P.W. mentioned is the main character? Either that or I’m just making things up.
@@Memefan
Potentially
It's interesting that they drew particular attention to Bobby BearHug, and not another Experiment like DogDay. A few people are taking that to mean we might see her in a future chapter.

And Bobby's living plush version was featured in a camera recording as well.
Bobby bearhug was the first critter to be made, so it was probably still new for the scientist, and catnap had his red smoke, so his voice box was probably tangled up with his red smoke box
@@Dreadstar8398 Very logical.
Didn't Dog day say that they (Dog Day and Catnap) were the the last two big body Critters? Kind of a weird retcon if another one just pops out later
The devs confirmed the music video isn’t canon

Are you sure about it not canon? Because the details in the music look too precise to be a coincidence or not canon

Lady Ice Spider will now go in the Poppy Playtime hall of the gods, along with Kick Me Paul
Thank you for using a lowercase g. KMP is Kirby's orange brother. :)
10:33: Y’know what that also implies? That they’ve been doing so many experiments on these kids, they’ve forgotten which number their on!

The name of the protagonist of the book is PW, and I think he is the player in Poppy Playtime.

Imagine his colleagues shouting to him "You son of a wire!"
The background footage of Celeste makes me wonder if there’s a video about that down the line (?)
