Game Theory: You Are The Villain of Poppy Playtime

[@Minmin-cq4kt]

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

[@maximusmccreery5440]

That tracks but my theory is that because they have no one to follow orders by, likely being their method of suppressing "the darkness" inside them, they eventually became violent. However. I wouldnt put it past the devs for that to be a story line

[@hineschris9934]

Honestly even the most obedient dog will attack something if he's hungry. These creatures have been locked inside for 10 years

[@agenti4734]

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.

[@Rorschach964]

This theory makes so much sense considering the main character we play as is able to use the GrabPack just like any other regular worker of the Production Area would.

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.

Are you guys seriously trying to connect RESPAWNING to the lore?! Like what, are we supposed to only have one chance to beat it and if we die, we can't play it again?!

This does make me curious how Kissy Missy seems less hostile than the other toys. Maybe her conditioning didn't follow through to obedience? I hope we get more clearance about her in the next chapter.

Or maybe we didn’t harm Kissy like the others, and if we are trying to atone for our sins Kissy might be the reason we regret our actions.

Obviously these are all guesses and they’re probs wrong but I wanted to share my thoughts

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.

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.

[@alexandrahernandez7206]

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.

SNAP MY COMMENT IS HIGHLIGHTED AND I NEVER GOT THAT MANY PIJE TYSM I LOVE YALL

[@carolinascomics8388]

I feel like the theory on us being the head honcho himself, is pretty far fetched. Because, at the end of chapter 2, poppy doesn't recognize us. She calls us special and that we can save them. It seems more realistic if we were someone who worked there and is named Jamie B Honey than anything

[@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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

If the player is actually in charge of production and "conditioning" it could possibly explain why kissy missy helps the player without attacking? Maybe her conditioning was successful, maybe she's just more docile than the other experiments, but either way once she sees the player she stops to consider the situation for a moment before flipping the lever in the minecart area. Or, she could be helping as a result of either the influence of poppy, which seems unlikely given that poppy was held hostage by MLL, or under the influence of another experiment.... possibly 1006?

Of course, it's possible they both follow the orders of someone still in the building, but I heard this idea somewhere and it fascinated me because it's not their nature; it's their orders.

The big question mark for me is... if we are the head of production, how old is our character? Because if they were a founding member we'd have to be seventy at the youngest.

[@enigmaticerasure]

It truly makes sense for us to be the villain, cuz usually, other horror games have the main character/player the "innocent" one, and I feel as if we're the reason why every toy wants to kill us because of our past mistakes. For example, the note that we get in the mail to go to Playtime Co, has spelling mistakes, and the thing is, I feel like it'd obviously had to have been a child who wrote it to us. I'm guessing Kissy Missy mailed it to us, and she tried to give us a second chance to redeem ourselves. Maybe since she's probably a child, she wants to help us, like she did in Chapter 2. The other toys won't give us a chance, because they don't forgive us, and want to kill us, since we ruined their lives and made them turn into toys.

[@MxPumpkin]

The thing that doesnt make that much sense to me is how we're the villain if huggy wuggy tried to kill us. Know for its obedience, he would most likely recognize someone as important as the production leader and.. well, would not try to kill him, since huggy wuggy is that obedient. Perhaps someone is ordering Huggy Wuggy to kill us, someone with a higher rank, but then again, arent they dead?

[@enigmaticerasure]

@@MxPumpkin Yeah, now that you mention it, maybe someone else could be ordering Huggy Wuggy to kill us, or basically kill any intruder that comes to the premise of the toy factory. Maybe the person in the Playtime Co. does have s higher rank, but if they are dead, maybe they somehow tried turning themselves into a toy to be unstoppable, and more powerful than humans, aka us. I mean, I was guessing that it could be the Prototype, but maybe there's another toy that could be controlling the toys to try and stop us. Idrk, it's really confusing.

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

[@thornandroses]

​@@MxPumpkin Maybe its because when we first see huggy wuggy, he doesn't attack us and instead gives us the key. Huggy wuggy attacks us after we make a toy, maybe he didn't want to attack us at first but got angry again because we made a toy using another child ? So he might have given us a chance at the beginning and didn't attack at first, but we repeated our mistakes again ( by making the toy ) and attacked us? I'm not sure but it's a small detail I noticed.

A note not to be forgotten is the game makes a effort to hide your reflection in things that should mirror it. They are completely black textures instead of making a reflection texture in them. Which is a technique used when you want to hide things about the player model from the player.

I think instead of taking the traditional route of Fnaf of where souls go into an intimate object, I think the scientists took the physical part of the human bodies and embedded them into the toys. So when they used the poppy flower to revive them, they created living toys that awoke their consciousness.

[@BogBogSwampBog]

You’d think you’d be able to explore such a gigantic factory freely, especially since you’ve worked here… you should be familiar with the place… right? Unless something is carefully crafting your old factory into a destroyed labyrinth, leading you along holes in the ground and glowing bars in the wall. Why would those have been there when the factory was operational? quick transportation? I don’t think so. The Prototype knows we’re here, and it wants us to get further and further caught in its web.

[@blanklumiere]

I mean it could also have been that 1006 WANTED us to get rid of mommy FOR him, could he be the one who sent kissy missy to pull the lever for us? Could he also be the one leaving the tapes? So it could explain the randomly convenient placements of it

I feel like our character was maybe an important member of staff to the Playtime Co. but after finding out what was happening with the orphans we maybe had an argument or something with Ludwig and that’s why our sign/slide is wrecked and put in the shadows. Might not fit in with any of the other lore but that’s just something I’ve had on my mind for a while.

[@Kawa_777]

If MatPat’s theory is right about our character being the head of production, and the one who actively created all the living toys, then the slide could be destroyed by said living toys still in the factory.

Jamie B. Honey also lines up with the hooks on the empty sign. There's 5 on the top, and 6 on the bottom. However, there's a slight issue with the unscrambling, Mat. You replaced one of the a's with an e. There's only one e in the scrambled letters, and Jamie B. Honey has two. Likewise, there's two a's in the scrambled letters, but only one in the name.
