      In the wake scene after the mommy long legs commercial we have those flash backs we know its us because the chase scene BUT WHY ADD THE PARK now you may say its the same park but its not, if you closely look the playground is completely different. So here what I think we indeed do work for the factory but why? maybe we didn't choose we were forced. Using Matts theory that playtime is bringing in kids to experiment on them I believe that we are one of the kids but somehow we A- made a deal with our captor B- they saw our test results and saw more potential in us than a toy, this could explain why we know the factory so well, remember the chase scene with huggy in the vents we knew the vents in and out and it would also explain why we would come back if we know whats been going on (from a hired employee pov) we know the mosters inside and we know they want us but what if we went back to and I hate to pull the fnaf card but to put them to rest, for all we know everyone is still trapped in a toy except us why us why are we here? to finish what was started PLEASE RESPOND WITH YOUR OPINION

    Has anyone pointed out the flower imagery of this game? I've never played, but Poppy flowers are a theme, and many of the enemies in the game relate to nature (the caterpillar-esque creature, Mommy Longlegs, etc) and also Makayla's last name is Hyssop, which is another type of flower. Kinda sounds like cultivation and kinder*garden*... cultivation.

    My own theory is that the prototype is actually made using an adult. That's why it would be far more intelligent than the other toys that were brought to life. If the others were made with children, they would actually be less aggressive and more obedient and more willing to cooperate with the staff there.

      The prototype is actually pressumed to be made using Eliot Ludwig remains as he did die before the prototype was made making him the most suitable candidate as well as he is the person who basically started the whole project. And also you can explain his hostility by taking into the fact that Eliot either didn't want to be turned into a toy or disagreed with the method in where they used orphans as test subjects. Which also explains why huggy is hostile to us as huggy is obedient to his master which is Eliot Ludwig meaning that he still has control over him as the protype.

    One thing I noticed about Poppy’s design was that her main theme was red hair and blue bows. For those who don’t know, blue bows and ribbons are symbolic to those who were victims of child abuse. If Poppy really was Elliot’s adopted daughter, then his violence towards his daughter could give us a hint as to why he was perfectly okay with using children as test subjects.

  • @crescent4045
    @crescent4045 Рік тому +79

    I have my own little theory on us being head of production, Jamie B. Honey. You see, in most production quarters I'd imagine that there job is to, as he said, make adjustments to toys to present them to the public. However, I think we did come here not to exactly to repent OUR sins but our co workers. Because when you think about it, no one knew about the orphans going missing nor could the toys leave. So why go back to the factory and get rid of evidence if no one is suspicious to begin with? Well, I believe that we, Jamie B Honey, are wanting to make-up for what happened. My theory here is, we knew about the experiments HOWEVER! We didn't know it was on orphans. Now I know this has a few pot holes, like 'if we didn't know, then why would Mommy try and kill us?' Or 'why would we get our own slide if we didn't know?' Well, everyone I have a small theory on that as well. I think we are going back to the factory not just to find any employees, but perhaps Elliot Ludwig. Why the owner of Playtime CO? Because I think we might be a close friend of Elliot Ludwig's which would explain why we have a big role but didn't know about the orphans because he wanted to keep us safe after incidents from Prototype 1006 started happening. It also explains why the toys try to kill us because they know we are close friend of Elliot Ludwig who, maybe, the person who is behind of all this. But again that's just a theory. A game theory! (Thank to those who read the theory, I normally don't share these....)

    @alexandrahernandez7206 Рік тому +39

    I theorized that too. That perhaps the real victims are the toys trying to kill us. Like the other games, they experiment on these orphan children, knowing they didn’t have families to go back to. Those who value other things than the lives of children like Laith Pierre relentless turning them into creatures they play with. They say that when something happens to a child, their soul becomes corrupted by rage and sadness and that’s what happened to these kids - turned monsters. Their furious, sad, but above all ..have absolute hatred for those who did this to them. That the character were playing as- was involved in such horrifying experiments. Maybe a peculiar child got turned into Huggy Wuggy, which is why he attacked us. It would be awesome if it was confirmed. Like Huggy wouldn’t attack anyone else but you because you were involved and their hatred is to see you dead.

      1. She's friendly toward both children and adult. She doesn't need suppression like all the others.
      2. She doesn't turn into feral yet just like when huggy gave us key instead of killing us at the first place.
      3. Kissy is as smart as Poppy and mommy, not just a killing machine. She wants us to help her to fix everything up.

So here what I think we indeed do work for the factory but why? maybe we didn't choose we were forced. Using Matts theory that playtime is bringing in kids to experiment on them I believe that we are one of the kids but somehow we A- made a deal with our captor B- they saw our test results and saw more potential in us than a toy, this could explain why we know the factory so well, remember the chase scene with huggy in the vents we knew the vents in and out and it would also explain why we would come back if we know whats been going on (from a hired employee pov) we know the mosters inside and we know they want us but what if we went back to and I hate to pull the fnaf card but to put them to rest, for all we know everyone is still trapped in a toy except us why us why are we here? to finish what was started PLEASE RESPOND WITH YOUR OPINION

    Us being head of production makes even more sense when you realize that we never make noise in the story (yet). Obviously this could be from a protag perspective of "wanting to keep the game immersive" or something. But when you think about it, as a main person in the company, you would know easier ways to deal with these monsters, I think our character knew they'd encounter monsters, so they try to stay quite as to not draw any attention to themselves.

    I’m surprised the talking cutouts weren’t mentioned. They seem to be partly sentient as well. They say ominous things to the player (except Kissy and Daisy I believe) when you keep pressing their buttons.
    Not only that but you can “feed” Candy Cat until they’re full but if you keep going you can basically hurt or kill or upset (I’m not sure tbh) Candy Cat since they ask you to stop. Boogie Bot’s cutout also says “The button hurts me.” And also says “Am I a real boy?”. Gives me suspicion that some of these cutouts might also be partly alive but also programmed to say lines.

      Scientifically, spiders are actually very affectionate mothers in nature. They are protective, love to cuddle their babies and sometimes will be reluctant at letting their children go similar to a human moms going through empty nest syndrome
      So I think Mommy Long Legs acting predatorial against the protagonist makes a lot of sense considering she probably really saw the children in the factory as her own children in a way, which is probably why she took it very personally when the children "left her" and so she's focusing all her sadness and anger against the protagonist due to knowing the protagonist most likely had something to do with it.
      Having the Beldam from the Coraline movie portrayed as a spider woman was definitely no coincidence since it shows how possessive mother spiders can be

    I wonder if the game is called “Poppy Playtime” not because of Poppy the character. Rather the role the poppy flowers have in this game? Since they play a huge part in the living toys creation along with all the other side characters uses such as the scientists. As poppy flowers can symbol sleep, peace and also death. Which fit the games themes perfectly. Though, I will warn, poppy flowers can mean much other things depending on which culture we’re talking about.

    My take on this is: Poppy doesn’t seem to recognize us, she speaks as if we’re new. Lines like; “You freed me…” “you’re perfect, too perfect to lose.” Etc… As well as being delighted we know how to solve the electricity puzzle in the beginning of Chapter 2. If we were the head of production, we would’ve known about her. Maybe she was in a stasis? Opening her case is what springs her to life, or so it seems. Yet in the letter from the very beginning, it tells us to “FIND THE FLOWER” in bold and underlined. Yes, this may just be for the player. The notes too. Her acting like she isn’t familiar with us while the others are is strange… She hates the experiments, even saying that there were so many wrongs that needed to be righted. That alone makes me believe that we may not be the head of something, so… Why is she so unfamiliar? Why is Mommy the only one who knows that we worked here?
    My guess? We didn’t pull kids apart and make them into toys. Oh no. We adopted certain kids to send away via Stella’s orders. Mommy says we deserve “to die alone.” She knows us because we would “adopt” kids, she recognizes us because we gave the orphans a hope of having a family. We sent them to die and spend eternity in a toy.
    The prototype may be Jamie B Honey, continuing the experiments on themselves.
    Now, I’m no theroist, not by a long shot. But this makes more sense to me.
    Edit: I absolutely LOVE the questions and other theroies coming from you all! I try to respond and spark more ideas best I can, so by all means. Leave a reply on your thoughts! :)

    There's one problem with our character being the head of production:
    Huggy Wuggy was completely obedient to the staff and wouldn't harm someone as important as the head of production. Plus, our character seems to be confused about most of the stuff inside the factory. I think Mommy Long Legs suspects all employees are guilty, just because they worked there. She's blaming us when we're confused about most of it. We returned to try and save all the missing employees because we want to. I think we're playing as Marcus, the character jackscepticeye played. I think he wanted to find someone he cared about, but they became Kissy Missy, which is why she helps us.

    Theory: It's possible the messages after death are memories of different higher-ups talking to us, the player. Considering the theory that we are the head of production, the white messages all sound encouraging, but if spoken correctly, they could come from Elliot Ludwig, the leader of the factory. His bossy tone and backstory seemingly line up with all previous messages that end in a fade to white. Following that line of thought, the messages fading to red could be Eddie or the Head of Research. All messages that end in red line up with the research side of things so it would make sense.

    Theory: Stella Greybur is Kissy Missy.
    Stella seemed very child-like and friendly to all, both in the VHS tape from Chaper 1 and from the recordings in the game station. Kissy Missy is very friendly and has no desire to attack us, the player. Kissy Missy also seems very child-like and curious. If this theory is true, maybe the reason Kissy Missy/Stella DIDN'T attack us is because she recognized us as her old boss(and maybe as an old friend?)
    Edit: Stella would probably be the first to speak out when she found out how the kids were being treated, maybe the company manipulated her in some way, and when she found out too much they had to to get rid of her but didn't want any potential to go to waste so they turned her into a toy, and Stella/Kissy's kind nature carried over into her toy form?

      I wonder perhaps if it’s not the larger toys that are made of orphans but perhaps the smaller sold toys (or maybe some kind of medium size ones?) that have kids in them? Perhaps the larger toys like huggy are still made from adults of some kind (employees or otherwise) and those larger toys also are there to control the ones that are smaller/made of children? Basically you use the “expendable” orphans on getting the basics of toy-consciousness combination correct and then you use adults to make a final version that is better suited to be in charge of a larger body and control the other toy creations that have younger undeveloped minds in them.

    Is it possible that Stella could’ve turned into Kissy Missy, the one that helped us during chapter 2? It makes sense to me because if Kissy Missy was angry about being turned into a toy, she probably would’ve acted hostile toward the protagonist. And since Stella said that she’d be happy to bring joy to kids and everything, it would make sense that she would be happy being stuck inside of a toy. So the fact that Kissy Missy wasn’t hostile toward the protagonist and that Stella inferred that she wouldn’t mind being turned into a toy, the theory that Stella’s soul is in Kissy Missy makes sense. Also, when we hear Stella’s voice in the play room, there’s a cutout of Kissy Missy, but that might be something random.

      @@raudinforouzandeh maybe she was indeed kissy missy but only those who have a high rank and authorized know that kissy missy is stella (dunno seems a bit odd but ima share it anyways)and if kissy and huggy were related in a way then so stella and the person who got turned into huggy and in a detail shown in another video she seemed like she was crying which is theorized to be because of huggy’s “death”

    I 100% agree with this tbh, but I'm also confused with the toy hands we have. What if, while being in Production, we accidently turned ourselves into toys too? Or something like that.

    a random thought, "Jamie B Honey" sounds more like a name for a toy thats supposed to pass as human than an actual human name. what if we were the latest in the many experiments before the factory shut down? What if the factory decided to start making living "toy" workers to run the factory? It would definitely make sense. actual workers would start objecting eventually, maybe even tell the press whats going on. these created workers would be much more obedient and complacent. and WE were the apex of this branch of experimentation and were given a position above the others as a reward. this would also explain the death screens and respawn mechanics, were literally the same as the toys and therefore we are connected to them. and the reason characters like mommy longlegs dont recognise us as being one of them is that we LOOK human. none of the toys do, so they just assume we arent a toy.

      @Elisa Maza that one can be interpreted multiple ways. Either we're perfect as in resourceful and determined, or she is one of the few powerful or knowledgeable to know what we are and we are the perfect result for the experiments.

      @Elisa Maza I assumed that since you started with "you didn't hear this" that you were providing a counterpoint. My b.
