Game Theory: Don't BREATHE! (Poppy Playtime Chapter 3)

Don't forget about the withdrawal syptoms shown by both Mommy and Poppy. The increasingly erratic behaviour, the enlagement of the pupils etc... Since no one is working anymore there is no one producing said gas. Explaining why the toys were nice before, and hysterical and murderous now.

I think Bron's appearances are not just a simple distraction, rather it's a conditioning. If Bron appear many times enough as a red herring, the audience will start to 'ignore' him. Which is why I instead believe Bron will be the 'final' or at least 'close final' boss. Which will make his appearances on these trailers to be 'sensible'.

[@indodinoyoutube]

Agreed. And honestly, I don't even think Chapter 3 is going to have a designated boss character. With the whole gas issue, it's likely going to be more along the lines of an escape room gameplay as opposed to running from a giant monster and getting them caught in a grinder. Not that there won't be monsters... but I feel like chapter 3 is going to be more lore oriented while also being like a puzzle game where you're trying to escape from the gas.

[@b8conbear330]

@@indodinoyoutube Well i have a stupid theory. since the factory was abandoned for 10 years the gas would have dissipated and stopped having its effects.

[@monroerobbins7551]

One thing this theory reminded me of was another theory, by Tericho. In that video, he discussed the idea of the toys being addicted to the opiates found in the poppy extract, hence why they were cracking toys open; to get the drug inside, the poppy juice if you will. That would explain the dilating eyes, and erratic mood swings. While I dunno if that’s the case per say, it’s an interesting one.

[@Hannah77550]

I thought I was the only one who notice. Maybe that's why some toys wants to kill us because they think we too have that poppy extracf inside us. Also someone said that all the dried up blood we see around the factory isn't actually blood, it's the poppy gel mixture because dried up blood gets darker and becomes brown when it's fully dried up but the blood splatter is still red dispite it being dry for a decade. Maybe that's why Exp. 1006, the Prototype dragged Mommy Long Leg's corpse because it too wants that poppy extract and been collecting toys.

to add an even darker spin on this theory, if the children were regularly being gassed by opium, an incredibly addictive substance, it could be a reason why there were seemingly no escaped orphans, the children were so addicted the the poppy gas that they didn't have the will to leave the factory if they couldn't get one more hit of the drug, much like real life addicts and if this is true, it explains why there are so many broken toys snapped open, the remaining toys are breaking open by the other toys in order to get some remnants of the opium drugs still in the system. for all we know, they could've been using the opium on actual employees as well, in order to help them with their experiments and not leak it to the public.

Doesn't it seem like Bron is...watching you? Even though he's never a mid boss or a final boss for the chapter, he's just...always there. And it's not like he's just some cameo or minor detail because, as MatPat said, he's always shown in the teasers/chapters, without fail. Maybe he's someone's eyes (like a security system) or, since his eyes were gouged out in the first trailer, maybe he's a potential ally in the future.

Here's another theory about the gas masks. What if they weren't worn around children in some gas chambers but rather around the toys themselves? In Poppy's commercial it was said that Poppy's hair smells like her namesake flower. Since it's obvious that they used opium poppy, which was mostly used as a somewhat drug to feel a sensation of joy and euphoria, in which would be usable for Playtime Co. to sell many toys smelling like poppies and easily give joy to children. Not only that, but since the scientists used the poppies to create living toys, it would be obvious enough that the toys would smell as those flowers as a result. Which would explain why in the beginning of Chapter 2, the game starts with a happy Mommy Long Legs commercial that ends with Poppy telling us to 'Wake up'. Because in the end of Chapter 1 we open the case where Poppy has been. Smelling like poppy flower. And of course, it would also explain why employees were instructed to keep a minimum distance of 20 yards away from Mommy Long Legs ( not just because of her hostile nature). Because she smelled like a poppy flower. It could also be that all the bloody toys we see around the factory smelled like poppy flowers. So in conclusion, the gas masks were worn because the toys smelled like opium poppies. But hey, that's just a theory! A COMMENTED GAME THEORY!

[@lazer2521]

You can't get sleepy from simply being around poppy flowers. To get an effect from poppies, as you mentioned, it has to be converted in to a drug from the milk of the bulb of poppies. Poppy flowers are harmless.

[@catty9798]

it doesn't seems like that to me, the poppy smell is a selling point, hence why they say it in the commercial of poppy playtime. And they didn't need to use opium on the toys anymore since the selling point now is a toy that can move and talk (since they are freaking children morphed into a toy)

[@RazgrizKnight]

it's also worth noting (and this seems to be a little overstepped here) about Bron.... the gas mask *seems* to be a chopped up version of his face, the filters look like they are glued or screwed into the segment of the face for Bron. A normal mask's filter would fit snug against the shape of the mask itself, not leave a giant triangular edge (a spot where air potentially could leak) It's possible Bron was a "warden" in the gas chambers, a big reason why Bron would be seen as the scariest dinosaur, the last dino they see before they are put to sleep.

@@water6006 no it's not, because he shows you an image of a mickey gas mask right in the video. The gas tank on a Mickey mask is *under* the face, not slapped on the spot where the mouth and nose are. You can see this plainly if you were to just look up a few images of it... No gas mask looks similar to these being shown, but Bron's face *does* if you cut his mouth/snout off at the base. Suffice to say, similar "character" masks, would be set up to be fun for the kids, not an amalgamation of horror like that. if it were to be playful (intentionally fun for kids to use them on purpose) it would be more visibly appealing to children. This mask shown from the trailer looks like the skull of Bron connected to the filter of a gas mask

@@User-15328 Honestly, maybe they could be partners in crime, being best buds and complete opposites.

As a note, that gas mask (The FM12) gives us a few useful pieces of information: 1) The absolute earliest the factory was abandoned is 1993, as that specific design wasn't in production prior to that year, and even then it was only limited production as they were not adopted until 1997. Of course there could be some grand conspiracy involved and it hasn't REALLY been abandoned, but that wouldn't really make sense with the narrative MOB has been setting up. 2) The mask in the picture seems to be missing it's hydration fail-safe, which may be a sign that the mask isn't as secure as we'd like it to be. 3) The filters for that mask have a shelf-life of 10 years, after which they become compromised, expect to be hunting filters throughout the chapter. 4) Playtime Co. has either first-responder contracts, or is linked into the military production loop, which considering they've been around since the 30's wouldn't surprise me, basically every company in the years following ended up co-opted into wartime production and tended to keep at least some of that capacity around from what I've been told. 5) These masks are set up to both be able to speak nearly unimpeded with others AND can be tied into communication equipment quite easily. The only other thing I'm surprised so few are talking about the old Micky Mouse gas masks, the rumors that surrounded Disney's wartime protocol, and the creepypastas that eventually evolved from those rumors.

As you need something special to move him. Maybe he just sits in one place and is able to watch everyone so higher-ups can keep track as well as enter the room with the masks for the children. Bron could be tracking thermal signatures. Also his last joke on the cardboard cutout could be important because if you should be afraid of him maybe he has a feature to cause him to make a security protocol to be releasing gas into the room at higher levels.

I have a theory- And it might be VERY far fetched. My theory is that we are actually the scientist speaking at the end of chapter 1 and in chapter 2. It would make sense because of how we are supposedly head of production and the scientist that talks has all these different results for the experiments. But what if the scientist resurrected themself in the form of that yellow figure holding the backpack. It could also give us a reason why mommy knows us, and why poppy says we are perfect. It could also tell us why we don’t really get injured or why we don’t talk. Because we don’t have a mouth, and that we are made of plastic. The reason why we are an ex employee is because we potentially left, or that we don’t remember what we did. Notice how the scientist said- I’m not worried about myself, one breakthrough and I’ll be back. That basically tells us that he knew how to come back- and he potentially did. And maybe- just maybe- the person who mommy long legs was, was actually our daughter OR our ex. Maybe we sent her to playtime to be turned into a toy because she knew too much. It also fits with the theme of how she’s supposedly a motherly figure, and experience with children would certainly confirm it. But hey, that’s just a theory, A FAN THEORY

My theory for the next chapter is that Bron is going to be an “antagonist”. But Poppy is the mastermind in this chapter. Poppy has already betrayed us, and our character is already proven themselves to be smart. So I doubt we’ed be willing to follow Poppy after she literally cast us deeper into hell. I believe that Poppy after gaining the keys to the factory from Mama‘s office. She will be forcing us go on a walk through memory lane. Showing us the true horrors of this place trying to convince us to stay and end it. Meanwhile Braun occasionally attacks and ambushes us acting more as an obstacle than anything. Until he gets so fed up of being ignored that he confronts us directly in which he gets bloody decapitated. Either by Poppy not wanting to be overshadowed, or us not wanting to die.

I haven't watched the full video yet but if Opium Poppy's can have an affect such as sleepiness and exhaustion then this could give the gas mask a deeper meaning. The gas mask could be an item the player collects in chapter 3 to try stay awake and keep their strength within the chapter to maybe run or hide from something. Bron could be trying to tell us something about the boss in Chapter 3 as one of his jokes are : "What do you call a Dino with 1 eye?" "A doyouthinkhesawus" Bron could be trying to tell us that we might have to play a game, perhaps hide and seek?? I know we've already had Mommy play a game of hide n seek but what if Poppy introduces a new boss and the player needs to hide from them knowing that Poppy is bad. Maybe Poppy will cheat and use Poppy gas to make it easier to find the player in chapter 3 leading to the gas mask.

He gives a long speech about "how dare you enter my domain" as it stands tall and mighty and then one of the vents on the ceiling open, prototype reaches down with one hand and gently rips off its head with the same difficulty as a lego figure and vanishes into the vents as bron's body remains frozen.

If I had to guess, this trailer is not only implying that bron will be the next boss, but that his attack methods will involve the use of gasses that renders those who inhale it either unconscious or dead. Bron has been depicted as a solid plastic toy with a rotatable head, and as far as I'm aware those kinds of toys aren't known to be flexible. In order to compensate for his lack of agility and speed, he weaponizes potent gases which does most of the hunting for him, similarly to how the Komoto dragons' venom does most of the work when it comes to killing their prey.

[@Timedemon-hw6wf]

During the Moscow theater raid the problems that cause most of the deaths were not caused from the gas like matt suggested but by the way that the Russian authorities managed the bodies of the sleeping hostages. They took them out of the theater still sleeping and moved them on the front of the theater while raining letting them face upward drowning some and asphyxiating others by leaving them in positions where they were unable to breathe in. What i believe matt refers to when talking about the dangers of opioids is basically overdosing. when using any type of sleeping inducing factor too much of it can cause some of the automated processes of the brain to cease faction most importantly automated breathing. That's the reason we use mashine-supported breathing on patients during surgeries.

Might make an interesting vent chase to have just a dinosaur head chasing you with its impossibly long neck.

I believe the theory of the flower that can make you sleep, this is why. At the end of chapter one, poppy was in a case and that smell was contained in a space so that the whole factory wouldn't be sleeping, but when we opened the door poppy woke up and we passed out. The reason we passed out so quickly was because of all the scent contained in the space of poppy. Poppy was sleeping, because the scent was too much so she passed out, she woke up at the end because the scent was brought out and wasn't too much for her to handle.

[@katastrofygames]

So you know how everywhere around the factory there appears to be large holes in the walls, cracks, or even splits in the ground and train tracks? My theory is that Bron is the toy responsible for such destruction. We already get an idea on the pure size and density/weight of the Bron toy model in the rejected toys room. We need a large mechanical claw to even move the Bron toys. Not only that but the Bron Toys appear to be really hard and dense compared to the soft bodied Huggy Wuggy or the elastic Mommy Long Legs. Huggy Wuggy like Kissy Missy have such soft bodies they struggle to even pull levers. But this also allows them to fit into tight spaces like air vents. But their heads must be hard because that’s ultimately what they use to bite and eat us. I think Huggy Wuggy headbutts the vent doors to get in or to break out and get us towards the end of the game. Mommy Long Legs on the other hand has a hard and round torso, which allows players to escape her by jumping into small holes in the walls or ground. But she has extremely long reach which allows her to climb to high heights and scale up walls. If we also take into account that the toys usually stay in their respective stations/areas, we see that Huggy is mainly at the entrance with the role of obedient security guard. (He guards the entrance and provides a security key). Mommy is the care taker of children in the game center as well as caretaker of the other toys/experiments (she might have even been caring for the Prototype but she definitely was caring for Pugapillar, Bunzo Bunny, and the small Huggy Wuggies. She must have also been caring for Poppy, or at least making sure she stayed locked up.) so Mommy’s role was a caretaker but she does have violent outbursts which is why she punished Bunzo Bunny and the small Huggy Wuggies when they fail. As a care taker, she also delivered children to their tests and the children who fail she would punish/lecture like a real mom would. Going along with this trend, what would be Bron’s role? I think given the size and density of his body and his cutout that shows him holding a construction sign/in a railway cart, I want to say Bron was something of a groundskeeper. Due to his size, he had to use the railways to travel around the factory since his large and heavy body would be hard enough to break walls and floors. If something needed to be built, torn down, or something heavy needed to be lifted up high, Bron would be the experiment to use for those tasks. He may have also been tasked with collecting and delivering broken or rejected toys(or trash) using the railway and Barry the train cart. But he would be dedicated to the railway system in order for him to get to places quickly around the factory and without accidentally breaking structures. He is essentially a living crane/wrecking ball. Again, this is based off the size and density of the rejected Bron toys. This would explain why there are so many broken walls, a place abandoned for 10 years wouldn’t really have such destruction, I mean it looks like an earthquake happened. But I think Bron started roaming around the factory without the rail station, causing the destruction and for floors that can not support his weight to collapse. I also think that Barry was his friend that he was protecting by locking Barry away in a safe spot of the railways. But the players killed Barry to open an area, so Bron will come after us because of that.

[@TriforceofMalice]

Honestly, I felt the Bron head there seemed too obvious. Based on their trailers, it seems like the antagonists and lore for new chapters are in the dialogue, hidden in plain sight. For example, the teaser trailer for Chapter 2 had the song “Itsy Bitsy Spider,” which was pointing to Mommy Long Legs, but everyone thought it’d be Kissy Missy.

Things he was right about and things he was wrong about: 1. Bron isn’t the next antagonist: this is obviously correct. The antagonist is catnap. Also the cardboard cutout hinting he was scary was reaching. 2. They use poppy gas on the orphans: it seems more likely they didn’t directly use it for the experiments, they instead used it to make the children sleep via catnap. We don’t even know if it’s made from poppies, even though it most likely is. 3. The entire playcare is used to gas the children: the function of playcare is far more complex than that. The gas was only really used in home sweet home and it seems to have only been used to make the children fall asleep.

I honestly just think they're attempting to recover from the whole "Poppy Playtime being marketed to children" fiasco. I've thought that since I saw Mommy's death, and I'm just glad they're making a conscious effort to push themselves back into the more mature area. Also, I'm just gonna take a moment to lament my intrigue for World War 2 after learning about it for AN ENTIRE YEAR OF SCHOOL.

Maybe but they were the ones to market to kids. They were the ones to instantly make merch targeted at young audiences so I’d find it weird if they changed their mind now.

The game : *experiments on kids* The kids : waaaaaaaaaaa Matpat : *stuffs lore into our brain* His fans : WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@leoa7927]

Theory: The “real” Bron was originally more of a heavy duty machine/tool used by Playtime Co. than a toy or experiment. Unlike the other toys, Bron’s name is only one word and one syllable. And as MatPat said, he also stands out in that he looks more “rigid” than the other toys, especially when compared to Huggy Wuggy and Mommy Long Legs. This makes me think that he was not originally developed to be a toy, but rather as something Playtime Co. could *use* in their operations. Given the way he’s built, I theorize that the real monsterous version of Bron was more of a machine built to carry heavy loads around the factory. He was there to carry cargo, other monstrous experiments, Barry the Minecart, or, if we go by MatPat’s theory, poppy-ified children. Perhaps his name was originally an acronym for something, but the company figured out that they could make toys out of him and decided to make him more like a kid-friendly brontosaurus later in the process. The reason he has such a notable presence there is because he was a sort of “caretaker” for the children similar to Mommy Long Legs. If we go along with the poppy gas theory, he may have even been the one walking around and releasing it into the air. Finally, I theorize that he will not be actively hostile towards the player specifically. However, he will still be a major obstacle (possibly still spreading poppy gas) that will either get taken down by the player or get taken out in the crossfire between the player and the real big bad of the next chapter.

[@mongoose9851]

I agree that Bron is going to play a major role in the game. He's been featured in too many trailers/teasers to be a character that doesn't do anything (besides turning his head when you make a noise in the reject toy room).

[@daydreamer9076]

Bron being used to carry heavy objects could be supported because his name sounds like brawn.

Its hard to remember while playing the game that this is never an amusement park. Its not a place kids go. Its not some factory that also has a tour with kids activities. Its a factory.

Well maybe not always just getting fed up, but maybe they didn't want to see their children in pain or discomfort and wanted to make them feel better 🤔. Back then, they had no knowledge of the adverse side effects.

[@stormstudios8226]

One of the few things I'm extremely glad about from MOB is that their making the game screwier and more messed up, mainly as they have an issue with a bunch of kids (kids as in, under 13-14) playing the game and getting into it. (For Halloween I saw a kid dressed up as Huggy Wuggy. He looked around 8 or so.) even though there going into an extremely dark place for it. Can't wait for chapter 3 honestly and to be terrified to turn off my lights at night. lol.

Remember , a gas mask is used when you need breathable air in a place that doesn’t have it or has little of it. Although it has another use, bacterial outbreaks. It’s my theory that some kind of infection has spread to this part of the factory

[@Shadowmon799]

Would it ever be possible for the red splotches we see on the broken and "bloody" toys around the factory to actually be dried up poppy gas? Like, think of it like this: cigarette smoke is known to stick to objects and cause them to have a slightly duller color, and emit the scent of a cigarette. So wouldnt it be possible for the red splotches be aerosolized poppy, that sticks to an object like a candy cat or bron, and then dries out on the floor, wall, or wherever said object is. Afterall, if its aerosolized, it is still liquid based, so it "drying out" is more like recondensing itself, which would allow for it to appear like a blood splatter, if the toy was perhaps thrown against a surface. I dunno, its just a thought, I'm hoping it has sone merit somewhere in the theory

[@Miss_Annearcy]

Actually… that’s not too far of a stretch. It is called “Poppy” playtime and Poppy’s hair is said to “smell just like a poppy flower” so they would have put some in her hair. Why not use it for the other toys?

[@Hannah77550]

Tericho did say in one of his theories that the toys are addicted to the poppy gas and now the same with MatPat. And the "blood splatter" we see around dead toys isn't blood at all, it's the poppy gel mixture or something like it and maybe when kids play with Playtime Co.'s toys they can smell the poppy gas and became addicted to it, wanting more of it. It might be the same with the bigger toys like Mommy Long Legs she did wanted to kill us for what the scientist did to her and the children but another part of her just wanted that poppy drug and thought we too have it.
