An email from Ludwig could be secretly sent by someone else, who is still pretending that their boss is alive, hiding the fact that he's been turned into a toy.

[@sonic-fan.]

That was a joke made by the devs

[@GrammarPolice-lc4lo]

Your grammar is mostly correct, but there are a few minor errors. You have used the correct verb tense and subject-verb agreement throughout the sentence, but there are a few areas where you could improve the clarity and accuracy of your phrasing. Here’s a breakdown of the corrections you could make: Instead of “An email from Ludwig could be secretly sent,” consider rephrasing to “Someone could secretly send an email posing as Ludwig.” This change helps to make it clear that the sender is not actually Ludwig, but rather someone else pretending to be him. Instead of “who is still pretending that their boss is alive,” consider rephrasing to “who is hiding the fact that their boss has passed away.” This change helps to make it clear that the boss is no longer alive, and that the person is pretending to be Ludwig in order to conceal this fact.

[@derrickhaggard]

Considering the implications it wouldn't surprise me that Ludwig after becoming a toy suddenly realized that his new toy body made him possibly immortal and now wants to keep that immortality by every so often building himself or having built for him a new body. Think of it how a toy keeps itself relevant by changing and upgrading it's concept and features every few years.

[@animetalku269]

My theory after watching play throughs of chapter 3 is : we were once a councillor for play care but we got fired or quit because we didn’t want to watch or take part in the experiments and when poppy told us to come back we did in order to save the children but we never knew about the ‘hour of joy’ and the horrific things that happened and that is way the prototype, catnap, Ollie , poppy etc always gives us a chance to leave and live because we were not apart of the experiments

[@AceFaz]

If we weren't a part of the experiments, Why would we have such extreme "guilt"?

[@tiinyhwa]

the protagonist wasn’t fired/didn’t quit though, during the first section in the house where you first encounter the red gas one of the radio recordings is backwards and when flipped says we were meant to be there that day for a meeting but was either sick or something similar and didn’t show on the day the hour of joy went down

[@jorgemoreno2097]

Not just that but he wasn’t a counselor 😂 he was helping with experiments we know this by the flashbacks!

[@rowni]

The Doctor is living William Afton's dream lol.

[@monroerobbins7551]

Honestly, the idea that Ludwig was turned into the prototype to save his life, only for him to revert back to his previous, less selfish mindset… that would be such an interesting twist, certainly feels unique. We don’t often get to see the main villain actually repent, let alone try to destroy his own system, at least not without duress. I hope that ends up being the case, cause that would be such an interesting method of having two sides that aren’t exactly morally righteous.

[@egg7540]

I feel like the "Elliot = Prototype" theory is held back by a singular drawing we can find in Elliot's office at the start of chapter 2 that depicts the Game Station with Mommy Long Legs's wiggly arm. We know Mommy was created before her toy, and since she's experiment 1222, that means Elliot was still around and working in his office long after 1006.

Poppy seems to sound a bit more adult when she talks... makes me wonder if she wasn't a child when she was created but a adult woman that maybe got into a fight with her dad, died, and her dad wanting to 'save his baby girl' ended up putting her into the doll...

[@devilsavocate5476]

I saw another theory by Tericho I think that theorized a lot based off some connections poppy has to chucky. Basically, he said that she would have been an employee who was secretly a serial killer who was working to turn the experiments less wholesome, and went into a doll to work more efficiently. I think "serial killer" is a bit extreme but a think she was selfish/narcissisic with her own agenda, being immortality. I found some more evidence for this in this video, with poppy claiming all the terrible things were because of her. Tericho thought that this was Greybear (a think that's the wrong spelling). I think it could be her, due to her obsession with immortality. I'm more enthralled with the idea that she may have been his adult daughter who learned of the experiments and got her own ideas, working with the doctor, or maybe even inspiring him, whispering in his ear. I am a little skeptical, since poppys creation seems earlier in the timeline than Greybear, and that we have seen that adults have less success than children, and poppy seems perfectly fine, even a little childlike. However, poppy seems too mature and twisted/evil to be so young, which leads me to believe she may be a energetic/childish YA, to which Greybear fits the description. I am open to the idea of it being another character, so other theories are welcome. I am also curious to see which toys are a part of each "faction" and why, seeing as how most toys would WANT to overthrow the factory (1006s goal I think, not sure what poppys is) but MLL, who suffered lots of trauma at their hands was afraid of the prototype. Sorry for the essay 😅 Please expand on it if you feel like it!

I also have a theory, in the chapter 3 trailer, Catnap carved something on the wall about a "My Somnficient Flock" at the end. In Smiling Critters, all the critters fall asleep. Could Catnaps flock be the smiling critters. When they beg Catnap to put them to sleep "almost like their addicted to I" it felt like they worship him, so could that be it.

[@saltypepper3340]

it does feel like that chapter 3 will heavily dive into horror, at least judging by the teasers. and I do hope that is the case

[@DrLeppie]

Matpat back at it again with amazing content.

[@ATfortnite12]

Make a game theory of “why did venom go to earth instead of another planet?” From spider man 2. I would love that and would make my day

[@Zyrowhore]

When MatPat talks he sounds like when you do those little keyboard combos, very nice and fun.

[@samurexatlas7373]

12:51 They seem to recall the Game Station, at least. Because they attack Bron when he moves in the light, the kids were trained to know Statues. But Bron, Mommy, they don't stop in light. Even in Bron's video, we see the toys keeping OUT of the light.

[@jackjoestar5653]

I’m thinking Poppy Playtime is gonna be a great horror series, they saw huggy become this “KZbin kids horror icon” and thought naw, let’s make Chapter 3 look actually horrifying. Can’t wait for it to release very soon

[@justii320]

It makes me sad that matt will never continue this theory… I was so excited to see what he was thinking about chapter 3….

Heres a mini theory. What if the email from Elliot was actually the doctor using his account? After all, it would be suspicious for Elliot to just stop using his own account. (But hey, that's just a theory, a mini theory)

[@gabrieldoci1077]

Also I checked and thta message never appeared in the ARG and only in files also the grammar is not correct meaning it is likely non canon.

[@Uzi_doorman77]

I just realized, the Hour of Joy happened August 8th, 1995, and our player character came back after 10 years, that means the main game takes place in 2005

[@TNeeshKeesh_1234]

Y'all, in PP3 Poppy tells Player that 1006 locked her in the case, but according to the files and records, Elliot put her in the case. Is Eliilot and 1006 the same thing? BTW, this is my friends theory, not mine.

[@sc0tt562]

10:26 I personally think it was redacted because mob realized they had Elliot ludwig write that. We saw today that the prototype apparently carried a child to safety, though he had the means to make an escape. He even tried to help the child leave the playcare. I doubt Ludwig wanted to go through with all this, and that you were correct in your initial thoughts that Harley got to him

[@artypawsstudio8129]

Gosh, I love these theories so much. They're always amazing. Though, with every great theory comes questions as well. Here's a part I'm a bit confused about... If the Prototype is working with the toys to end this whole operation, and the toys are willingly going along with his plan, then why would Mommy be so terrified of "becoming part of him" when we killed her in the game? She supposedly helped him before with that attack on the factory and she clearly has a similar fondness for the kids safety as the others, yet it seems like she didn't want anything more to do with him, so what could possibly be going on now that they (or maybe just her) don't want to help him anymore?

[@mongoose9851]

We don't know for sure who "him" is. In the second chapter 3 teaser trailer, there's a giant amalgamation of dead toy parts. I think that's what Mommy was talking about, but it's way too big to be 1006. They're some theories that 1006 is building a new body for himself or that the amalgamation is like a sacrificial alter for a cult.

[@gabrielrossi853]

I think it goes into the idea of there being a cult-like following of 1006 by many of the toys, so while many of the toys do want to help him many others don't

[@alexanderflores7422]

Or maybe the prototype descended into madness the years after the hour of joy

[@aTheSpy1987]

I mean idk, you would probably help your friend overthrow a corrupt system with a large group of other friends who were all also stuck under that same system, but honestly I doubt you'd be cool with being stitched onto them after you die.

[@mongoose9851]

@@aTheSpy1987 Yeah I can see that, but she also strung up other toys in her webs so they couldn't be part of "him" too.

I commented so many times that "Poppy gas" is called opium. I am glad to finally hear Matt Pat say Opium!

[@lulolie]

He noted opium in like the first theories?

[@liamnehren1054]

nah he just constantly said "Poppy Gas"@@lulolieit literally is opium and he listed out the effects but refused to say the real name.... It is a bit horrible to consider a company drugging children with opium and now even parents buying toys which were made to automatically dose children with opium....

[@Giantslayerxx]

What if the doctor silenced Elliot and made him the prototype, but they had someone step in to take on the title “Elliot Ludwig”.

[@syabilaazri7834]

That not a bad theory. Having someone pretent being Elliot could explain why "he" would make the underground orphanage. Notice how at the beginning there a face announce Poppy doll but for the rest of the game, the face of Elliot Lugwit is censor...

[@SonyInterviews]

Could be grasping at straws, but in his drawing, Theodore Specifically draws himself in purple, which is also CatNap’s color. Just food for thought

[@Nope0120]

I was once in store and beside me there was a little kid and their parent. The kid was asking for a Huggy Wuggy plushy and the parent agreed. I was quick to turn to the parent and warn them not to let the child see what it was from, explaining that it was from a pretty gruesome horror game/franchise. The parent thanked me for the warning and explained that they would probably prefer to buy something else as the child was apparently very curious and would have asked nonstop to know what their toy was from. This was about a year and a half ago and I’m not saying there was anything wrong with the toy, but I just wanted to warn them in case they planed to google it with the child present. 😮‍💨👍
