My theory about the other 2 failed scout-fusions we are told about: if we go with Matt's idea that it was planned from the start, I think the term 'failure' in that context didn't mean failing to make a mindless zombie - quite the opposite - I think they had tried to make a co-dependent two minded puppet man in the past (it is a vital step in the plan after all) like we end up playing, but the two previous attempts ended up being the usual feeder type hosts. We were actually a success. If you think there is a flaw in this thinking do let me know, I am obsessed with discussing this game lol

Fun fact. The puppets are **NOT** illiterate. Actually they have their own language. Seen near the end of the game there’s a Billboard with a bunch of weird symbols on it.

I think that at the end, our puppet doesn't quite takeover our mind but rather shares the same consciousness as our character. That makes more sense as if it had swapped minds, we should have been able to look around from the puppet's view for at least a moment. Edit:I also think that the sharing consciousness makes more sense as we know that the puppets don't know how to read. I haven't played the game but I'm pretty sure that the mind swaps don't let puppets have our memories. Which would make MatPat's theory pretty weird as the puppets also need someone that could actually read. Also what happens when we use up all 5 puppets?

[@stevenlouton6381]

I just left a similar comment. I feel like MatPat dropped the ball on this episode by not following through to that same ending. It to me seems like it would be necessary to find that out to have a acceptable ending to this theory. Ya know? Other then that, like normal, it was another great episode.

[@andre_601]

As much as I like this theory, does it have one major flaw: The game (or the characters to be exact) never mentions that you body swap in that you both change bodies. Your puppet even tells you when you did it for the first time: "Where you... where you just inside my head?(!)", so you can assume that she remains aware and in her body, but just loses the control while you're in. So this is a major point that destroys this theory as there is no proof that she gains control of your body while you're controlling her. Or else could she have easily done some other things like idk... Killing you in the process to keep your body. I still believe that the entire "letting you go on purpose" is a plausible thing and would make sense, but, to be honest, you could also just say that the host for Mortimer is still "alive" and tries to fight against what Mortimer does, by making him (unknowingly) give you opportunities to escape, which is why the ritual didn't work 100% and why he gave you clues and ways to escape.

[@LJMC80]

There is also the whole Illiterate thing, Scout isn't illiterate she just cant read human language, just like you cant read puppet language if you change to scout when you see all the weird puppet writing you can read it., secondly she does bleed out, the whole walk to the exit shes loosing bits of magic or fluff or something, and we see another puppet died from massive internal injuries earlier when we find part of mortimers key inside the insides of a puppet so we know that they seem to have the same weakness to dismemberment as humans.

[@glassesguy1032]

Yeah this is one that doesn't make as much sense as his others. Scout isn't conscious during the mind swap and isn't even willing to do it anyway. And if they could swap bodies why not do it immediately? and even if we did switch bodies why would we die if he said she couldn't die because she is one? But yeah i think it definitely i think so too but hey that's just a theory.

Additions to your Theory: 1. Isn't the name of the Puppet "Scout" a bit ominous? Like, she is the scout for the puppets, the first one to visit the outside world as a puppet mind in a human body so she can investigate how the second part of the puppet's plan, to restart the show and take over the world, can be executed. 2. Maybe when you sit in the theater with the ending credits rolling, it is actually the Scout puppet with your (the human's) mind inside it and that's how they "get rid of" or continue torturing you.

Friend just played through the game. The puppet reset and he had them all (meaning no missing puppet). Showed me this video of another youtuber taking each puppet.

[@ProjectEdge]

​@@anthonygonzalez5724 No evidence, but only having five 'hosts' isn't likely to be successful under most circumstances, so maybe they make multiple 'batches' for more influence. Of course, if they did a puppet maker, or RNG designs, it would seem more likely, but at the same time, if they take over the bodies, the puppet itself doesn't matter. But thats under the poor assumption that they can create other puppets, which leaves me questioning, maybe they condition and recycle the minds of the hosts to re add to the puppet bodies. Because the voodoo spell doesn't mention creating puppets, so they have to do it themselves. The 'souls' can come from the people in the meat locker

Ok so question (and I realize this may be a tedious process), when you end the game and come back it effectively restarts but doesn't give you the option of choosing the former puppet. So what happens if you finish the game again with that new choice? Do you come back a third time except now two puppets are missing? If so, what happens if you keep going until there are no puppets left to choose? Different ending perhaps?

[@Leader7353]

Nice theory, but it doesn’t matter which puppet you choose at the beginning, it will always be scout, just in a different body. The chosen puppets are all replicas of the same consciousness. She isn’t like any of the other puppets either. She wants to get out and leave after she came in contact with our world. That’s why she stopped rhyming like everyone else does. If Mortimer really did it for his plan he wouldn’t have chosen her, especially since he’d know how risky it was. I think it just didn’t work because she didn’t really want to take control of her host and doubted what Mortimer wanted. When Mortimer noticed what was going on he obviously wanted to play a cat and mouse game since it was different from any previous experience. That’s why you can still be killed while running away. It would be strange if he let you die if that was his goal. I still think scout might have swapped bodies with us, her host. It would fit her character because she never seemed to fully be with us. Her host was rather a tool to escape than a friend.

My theory is mortimer is actually trying to do the exactly same thing that happened to your character but the dead body bag is the failed attemp but well that`s just a theory A FAN THEORY

[@mirandarose5298]

what if it’s that they’ve been attempting this process for a while now and haven’t been able to succeed?? i mean it’d explain the excess amount of bodies cause why would there be SO many bodies if they aren’t failed attempts? in addition it’d explain the continuity factor as well. since it continues without scout there, were able to assume that it is a continuous storyline, so this new character is simply just the next attempt. our character DOES mind meld with scout like matpat said, but the makeshift theatre at the end is us complacent there after another failed attempt by the theatre but more specifically by scout herself, which is why they point out in the beginning thats she’s already failed before and this is her last chance. since it’s her last chance, her sentience was drained by mortimer after she failed again. which is something he didn’t wanna do, thus him being helpful throughout (alongside wanting to get the show started as well) idk though just something i thought of that still kinda follows matpats theory but also ties up some loose ends!!

[@Trinityyy73]

wow this is prob what happened good theory

[@selbarton]

If they drain the life force from people, those bodies could also be the husks left after being drained. That energy would only last so long leaving a need to drain more, and they can't just lure people in, partially drain them, and let them go back out able to draw attention to their evil activities. I do think the puppet bodies in the final theatre's scene are the ones who failed too many times and the ones left behind with the puppet bodies after the mind swap.

I really think it isn't the ending of the game where he ended it and he should have played through more than once. Its set up to show you that you meed to keep playing by not restarting completely. The slight change means theres reason for the change... Lots of games do this to try to make thing obvious... You can do this again but not the same one..
