More Darker Lore Revealed in the Poppy Playtime Orientation Notebook!

[@connormarchand6302]

What I love about this book is that it tells U the story of how a flawed but still well meaning toy company could betray their morals and become the playtime co we know today it’s all very Star Wars prequely

[@Neku628]

Have we found out for certain if the orphans were forced to work at the factory when they hit 18 and aged "out of the system"? Was that why Play Co saw their employees as expendable? Well, 49-year-old Bart fell seven feet to the floor while trying to stock the shelves. "But, don't worry, Jerry is going to turn 18 soon and he'll replace Bart." Heck, for all I know, Play Co. could be worse than real world American fast food restaurants that pretty much 14 to 17 year old teens like mules.

[@GREGGS-z2l]

No, but I finished the book,it said when 1 turned 18 they normally worked there

[@fin.2288]

@@GREGGS-z2l It doesn't say that at all it says "We hope to provide opportunities for our orphans to remain in the Playtime family and work at the factory."

[@GREGGS-z2l]

@fin.2288 yeah I keep reading then forgetting sorry

We're forced to work at the factory when they hit 18 and aged out the system ? Was that why play Co saw their employees as expensedable while ,49 - year - old bart fell seven feet to the floor Jerry is going to turn 18 soon and he'll replace bart. For real life.

I like how they are using the book to flesh out the inconsistency’s with the games

[@zohaibamin8836]

Ludwig's office with no windows with various other things make him look more sus than before

[@austint4139]

Aah yes because the threat of no refunds would definitely stop everyone from investigating there poppy doll

[@peterjones426]

So technically speaking, this could very well be the toy story universe, but where everything went wrong for the company.

[@griffysfnafchannel]

well the toys in toy story where just alive the toys here where made by pepole and they used dead children.

[@coolDude-sx6we]

No, because they have to use humans organs to make them alive

[@min-kn9ny]

The bigger bodies actually have organs and blood. I’m sure Sid would’ve noticed that his toys bled when he performed the surgeries and blew them up

[@graceswan4353]

​@@min-kn9nyeventually they could have perfected soul transfer without having to use the organs

[@peterjones426]

@min-kn9ny The limitations of how well they can hide the biological parts of the toys are unknown, but we understand it was pretty much fantastic to make most buyers think that they were robots at best. You have to have the knowledge of what to look for to even figure out something is up.

[@swordheartstudios]

It's crazy to see how much more of the Poppy Playtime lore is revealed in this that makes things that Playtime Co. have done even scarier than before with turning its back on what the company originally stood for.

[@Nate64Gaming]

0:37 So, it basically means what happens in Playtime Co, stays in Playtime Co.

[@redrasegarden]

Fazbear entertainment. Joey drew studios Hamlin productions. Playtime co. Cogwear games and broadside entertainment. And maybe waygetter toys I have learned one thing from indi horror. Never work for a company involved with kids.

[@sarahsims6164]

Joke's on them. At this point, almost all of them are out of business. So we couldn't work for them even if we tried.

[@redrasegarden]

@@sarahsims6164 huh, good point.

[@22Tesla]

Where is Hamlin Productions from? And, well, there is always MFN Studios where someone could work, that's one company in an indie game that deals with kids that's actually not too shady

[@CarouSol]

Seeing now as it is mentioned that Elliot died at some point before the Hour Of Joy, either one; he took his own life when found out by law enforcement which is unlikely because of his connection to Poppy, or two: someone got rid of him. I believe Leith or another high positioned employee had something to do with it.

[@BurningFlamesofDivineDragon]

I'm betting it was the second one. Had to be one of the higher employees that got rid of him. So they could start turning the kids and employees into Bigger Body Toys.

[@CarouSol]

@@BurningFlamesofDivineDragon only problem with your theory is that it's very much known and implied that Elliot knew about the experiments. I mean you can find a document of experimenting with the poppy serum in his office. But I do not deny the idea one of the higher ups may have rid of him, though said reasons may be unknown. Perhaps to invest the Bigger Bodies project more and fulk steam ahead without the old founder of the company sitting about

[@Redmanskillercatnap]

well, we can see that his last sign of life was in the Poppy Playtime 3 ARG where he is talking on Leith Pierre's computer and he says something similar to "those damn huggies ran away again" This message was from 1981. It can be said that he died in the early to mid 80s after this message. Because what it suggests is that the book at the beginning refers to the end of the 80s until close to the time of joy. probably 1994.

[@charlespage-camacho2115]

​@@RedmanskillercatnapBut that was later debunked by the devs; it was just a placeholder for the upcoming e-mails for the Chapter 3 ARG.

[@22Tesla]

He died before The Hour of Joy as I'm trying to figure when this employee handbook was printed and handed to PW. Nearest I can suggest is that it was either printed in '93 or '95. '93 because Boogie Bot is listed as the new toy for Christmas 1993, and his section in the book just shows his NFT CGI version, not an illustration like the other characters. Or '95 because at the end of the book is the employee calendar where PW leaves notes about what happens on each day leading to the HoJ. In his notes, PW mentions he's been an employee for a few years before he got this handbook. He also mentions he never met Elliot outside of his office and only went into his office once after Elliot died. So somewhere between 1990 and 95 (depending when this handbook was originally printed) is when Elliot passed away. It does seem likely that Leith got rid of him as PW mentions he's taking over the factory and "thinks he's carrying on Elliot's work, his traditions."

[@New3DSLuigi364]

there's only ONE Lore Detail I WANT to know; WHO WE'VE BEEN PLAYING AS SINCE CHAPTER 1; AND WHAT KIND OF A PERSON THEY ARE/WERE

[@compassrose1466]

I’m sure they’ll tell us in the final chapter

[@zeynep-jp9ui]

Watch the game theorists channels last video, im sure youre gonna like it.

[@abracadabramagic1139]

4:17 the yellow hand isn’t like that at all. The book is supposed to say purple hand but as they already made the change in chapter 3, it was too late to change the book

[@tylamcgilverson3923]

I heard they went with JoeyDrew Studios for the animation studio.

[@SatanicBarbeque]

And both are a subsidiary of Fazbear Entertainment

[@miss-socio-btpe]

Oooo cool!

[@9ightdreamer]

​@@SatanicBarbeque Alongside being aired by Hamlin Productions.

[@Doc_Animator_N]

4:39 “Use the grab pack to catch experiments that gets lose…” Could it be that the Prototype itself was a Grab Pack hand once? Could it be that its initial purpose was to catch experiments that would try to escape before it turned rogue and helped free them instead in the Hour of Joy?

[@miss-socio-btpe]

Cool theory!

[@CamdenKaneakaNeptunesdaughter]

Thanks for this. Not sure if I could buy the book, so being able to read it like this is good

[@terrifytee]

glad I can help!

[@Malarkeypop2009]

Ya know, I’ve always wondered if there were any teenage romances in Playtime Co, just interested.

[@SallySpr0ut]

Uhhhhhhhhhh okay, sus

[@ilikethecokev2]

If you mean from the orphans, they likely never lived long enough to be teenagers

[@joeson9582]

I wonder if there's going to be a Mommy long legs VHS🤔

whats the fanmade smiling critter doing with the rest?!

[@briannamarie29]

Where in the game and lore is the death he experience the death of his “daughter”? Genuinely asking because last time I checked, we don’t know what family loss he experienced.

[@void_summoner_89]

I mentioned a Theory in another video, how the purple hand is the prototype and the yellow hand is the final product

[@ThePastTheorists]

Again, his daughter passed away in the 1960s. Elliot created poppy in 1950

[@bethanyhitchen3989]

Maybe he based her on his child when they were still alive.

[@lukatodd2863]

And then put her soul in the doll? Maybe

[@ThePastTheorists]

@@lukatodd2863 so poppy was made without any soul Inside her? Buddy, her muscles stretch just like a human. It is impossible for her to stretch her hard plastic skin like that if there was no human anatomy involved during her making

[@LegacySaphiree]

@@ThePastTheorists He made the doll without a soul inside and it was a doll only, not any humanlike features were in her. After his daughter passed away, he probably took her soul and put it in poppy so that she could still be there with him and never pass away

[@ThePastTheorists]

@@LegacySaphiree what makes you think that she existed before being alive? Her visible plastic literally Moves Like skin on humans!

[@CrowProductions26]

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE SMILING CRITTER BETWEEN DOGDAY AND KICKINCHICKIN AT 1:22 ??? WHO ARE THEY 😭

[@Flugos]

Elliot Ludwig is the Prototype. Poppy (his daughter) knows what he did and wants to kill him (or maybe not). Its eiter Father against Daughter or Father and Daugther against you. Poppy might lie to you and brings you to her father. Its very strange that Poppy was never hurt or humbled by anyone.

[@FallenP66]

So they manufactured multiple poppy dolls that contained organs..?

[@BurningFlamesofDivineDragon]

That's what I'm understanding as well from this.

[@AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHs]

And no one once opened their doll up?

​@@diypropsmodels7064 Gaming consoles are expensive and taking them apart voids the warranty, yet people still take them apart all the time. Also who's going to be worried about a refund when they open up their child's new doll and find organs?

[@jaydeepaquette1022]

1:55 Anybody else think that the position Dog Day is in on the couch, with his arms raised on either side of his head and with the blanket on his lap covering his legs, and his head hanging down was meant to serve as foreshadowing for just what condition we'd find him in, languishing in the jail?

[@CF-or3ci]

One of the main reasons I like it much more than fnaf. LORE IS CONSISTENT AND… like… THEY ACTUALLY CLEARLY TELL WHAT HAPPENED. THATS CRAZY!!!

[@skyenight-by8yh]

Yeesh, keep the franchise going and it’ll probably be making references to the devil (like how CatNap refers to the prototype as a God.) Bet it could also draw some “heaven and he!!” inspiration into the lore too.

[@Greenisanidiot]

Is there something wrong with that?

[@Gaster_021]

This all makes me wonder about the security that Playtime co. Should of had🤔 They were well aware of the danger these things possessed yet there is no signs of security, guards, or even surveillance systems The most security that you can find both before and after the “hour of joy” is strong doors which is not entirely verified over its effectiveness considering the rise in problems The monsters within prolong ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn6qgqyfr7ucntksi=2AMtakUmrjO4Jo2c ) demonstrates the lethality of the bigger toys but also shows how there is a large lack of security for subjects they are well aware of their capabilities

[@princeinsomniac]

I kinda hate how a lot of the lore is locked behind a book, especially when the books more expensive usually than the actual games and it kinda sucks. You shouldnt have to pay for a book in order to get the full story/a lot of lore. Fnaf did this wrong, poppy is doing it kinda okay but still I feel like shoving a ton of important lore in book instead of yknow the games themselves is kinda sucky. Id rather play the games and see lore like its supposed to than some book. But over all, Im excited for more lore, just hate how its executed.

[@durratulaishah3703]

Tbf it would cost a lot to rewrite the story and try to cramped in all lore into the game. Especially when the game is in the Y/N's perspective. And Maybe they tried to focus on wide range of audiences so they're focusing more on the gameplay (and a bit of lore). The rest of the lore are for those who want to know more about the games in detail.

[@princeinsomniac]

@@durratulaishah3703 the people who wanna know more lore are the ones who are paying money for the chapters- we want more lore in the actual chapters not in some books. We want more pages to see in game not an expensive book. Lore like that of THAT importance shouldnt be locked behind a book.

2:41 so as someone who owned a Teddy Ruxpin when I was younger and I also disembowel him “”just to be sure”” ok listen ied seen some of the film magic with the living ventriloquist dummy and I just wanted to be sure, so there must have been some kids that opened up there toys which in this case must have been horrible for both kid and “”toy”” heck it’s probably far worse for the toys I mean think of the neighbours toys in toy story 😱
