Is no one talking about how one of Huggy Wuggy’s biggest attributes was that he’s obedient? Wouldn’t that imply that someone, or something, is telling him to harm the player? They could be controlling him to do things because he’s engineered to listen and obey

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

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.

[@Vigriff]

This makes sense.

[@L16htW4rr10r]

I think the children are used for the smaller toys. While the adults then used for the bigger and more intelligent toys.

[@aahhhhhhhhhhhhh]

what if they put animal souls in certain mascots

[@isamepython]

But Stella was an adult too?

[@Tarkov_KJ16]

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.

After looking back at all the theories so far. I think the prototype is NOT Elliot Ludwig. I think it’s Pierre, the head of innovation. “INNOVATION IS KEY” is very much something he would say bc he was so obsessed with his experiments, and he feels like he would be chaotically mad enough to continue after being shifted.

[@haleyhagaman3276]

[@Vigriff]

It's not Leith considering that Catnap and Leith were talking to one another in one of Chapter 3's VHS tapes.

[@crescent4045]

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....)

Our character would have to be really old if we were personal acquaintances with Ludwig if he created the factor in the 1930s

[@crescent4045]

[@luxluther436]

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.

[@luxluther436]

And on another note, that could be how his daughter died. Maybe his abuse lead to her death and he felt guilty about it.

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.

[@valtersh.]

I have a slight feeling we might be Eliot Ludwig. Why? When mommy said “If anyone should die alone it’s you.” And as we know Eliot Ludwig lost someone close and these toys seem to be after us because of what we have done.

That is very smart but that also means that we aren’t a worker , Eliot or anyone who was a part of the factory but somehow everyone so far has recognised us.

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 else thought about the purpose behind CandyCat being overfed?

[@rgs_goat-xb7wp]

You can also hear in the audio where it expresses CandyCat being very excited and hyper for the candy, which is very similar to children.

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. But that’s just a theory…A GAME THEORY

So last video I made a comment about Elliot Ludwig and his "tragic family loss". I speculated his family loss was probably his adopted child that he somehow made into The Prototype. Polly was made to early for his family loss. How she was made I don't know yet. But I hope we figure it out soon. Matpat making the connection between the red screen messages and a parent ignoring their child's faults is what really helped locked it in for me. Elliot (if he's the one talking in the red screens) seems to be excusing his adopted child's, the prototypes behavior. And I don't think it stops there. Elliot has an ex wife. Maybe she's Mommy Long Legs? Not a whole lot of evidence here just a hunch I had. Mommy Long Legs is described as a motherly figure to the other experiments. Maybe Elliot's ex wife has some maternal instincts that carried over. I think it would be really cool to have Elliot Ludwig, the man who seemingly advocated for peace and love on the outside, to actually be heartless, cruel, and be willing to sacrifice everyone around him. And if we are really the head of production. And we helped to sacrifice a bunch of innocent lives who's only crime was to be too close to Ludwig then I think it would be really cool.

[@torytellstales]

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

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.

[@Nuclearoverride0412]

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.

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.

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?

Can we also talk about the elephant in the room here? The toy monsters are not the size of singular children, yet do not appear to be an amalgamation of consciousnesses either. Mommy long legs had a consistent thought process in her delivered lines, as did poppy herself. Did the company cram multiple kids in each and somehow manufacture a brand new mind for each toy?

[@azurite8650]

It can't be ruled out. It seems to be a consistent motif for every monster we have encountered we they have a friendly form and monster form. In their friendly form it seems they are still capable of thought like a normal person, some can even speak, but all demonstrate a form of cognitive understanding. In the monster form they lose that, and only can think like heartless creatures only concerned with feeding.

[@steamtaco3672]

True but maybe the children are used for the smaller toys the ones they sell to the masses(as blood is seen leaking out and splatterd al around and in them), as those are small but fairly large as far as toys go, so it's possible that some adult specimens we're acquired for the larger 'Toys' such as mommy long legs.

[@wanderingunknown5225]

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.

His bossy tone and backstory seemingly line up with all previous messages that end in a fade to white.

I have a theory that maybe “Jamie B Honey” is the prototype. What if the former worker tried to reveal the factories dark secret to the world, thus betraying the factory. The factories team found out and turned him into a toy. This can explain why the prototype is so intelligent and is rebuilding himself. He knows the build of the toys and knows how to build and tweak things. This can also explain why he’s so aggressive towards the workers because they made him like this and hates what they have done to the children/other workers. But since he’s been made into a toy he still cant control he’s aggression. This can also explain why his name is scrambled on the ground as they got rid of him. P.S I know the prototype was made before the other toys. What if they hired someone else to replace him and that might have been us the player. Or they didn’t want to hire someone else in case they tried to reveal the dark secret.

I think that they maybe also used teenagers to make the toys b/c it would explain why Mommy is so motherly and why 1006 would be so smart and aggressive.
