Poppy Playtime Story So Far Breakdown! All The Secrets! (Chapter 1)

[@Tericho]

Sorry this one was so late. If you didn't see my community posts, my PC completely died and had to be sent for repair. I also noticed my last couple of uploads had pretty bad mic quality. I think the CPU dying was also causing issues with the mic, so I hope that now it's fixed the mic will sound better too. Anyway, better late than never right? RIGHT?! Edit: Oh also I am completely better now, this video was recorded *before* the PC died!

It’s possible that both the prototype and Poppy are both the heroes of the story. It’s just that their methods for what their goals are different heavily from each other that’s making them enemies.

[@Masquerade37]

With the Chapter 4 ARG coming soon, I think we're overthinking our first clue. "With felted feet and baited breath, sleep draws ever near." does feel like it's referencing Catnap specifically. My theory is that the Chapter 4 ARG will give us another Playtime Co work computer to play around in, and that "Catnap" will either be a password or a clue where to start looking for other clues and story bits. That being said, I can't help but overthink things also. The employee handbook let us know that the Smiling Critters would also work in other parts of the factory, so it's possible we might see another of the gang.

[@goteamslugs]

Good points. Many likely thought it was referring to Cat Nap, myself included.

[@olgadragon9225]

Just a theory. Maybe it's not Sawyers, maybe it's Prototype talking. He got so good at mimicking that now he is able to talk fully like the man

[@danielwade9427]

I've had an interesting thought since the voice based on Chp 2 ending. What if Mommy long legs wasn't scared of experiment 1006, but the fear actually was Harley Sawer. A man capable of taking her parts and making a whole new monster. What if he has been collecting toys to build him a protector or small army. To keep the toys away from him in the factory. I'm sure if he survived the attack, it wasn't just due to hiding. I feel he had some sort of backup idea. It's just a cool idea I've kind of thought has a lot of merit

[@CamdenKaneakaNeptunesdaughter]

Possible

[@goteamslugs]

Eep. Poor Marie . .

[@BurningFlamesofDivineDragon]

Good theory.

[@unsightedshadow2780]

Good to see you're back! And get well soon! Edit: Just a thought, but something about the narrator is off. To me, the voice of "Sawyer" sounds... wrong... Like it's coming through some kind of machine with static and all. It could be the Prototype speaking, just copying Sawyer's voice. Which is creepy as hell.

[@CamdenKaneakaNeptunesdaughter]

That’s more than likely what is happening

[@goteamslugs]

@@CamdenKaneakaNeptunesdaughter True.

[@1597B]

Man, that's a good one. Makes sense too, considering 06 chatted with Sawyer the most.

[@williamdrum9899]

I wonder, can the Prototype actually mimic his voice completely? We only ever heard the Prototype repeat back the phrase "I learn something new from you every day." That and the constantly changing voice, leads me to believe that the Prototype can only say words in any given voice if it has heard that person or toy say those words already. If every word in this ARG spoken by "Harley Sawyer" is said in the other Harley Sawyer recordings, it would nearly prove this theory correct

[@eleanorhughes4133]

Whoop whoop, glad to see you back and I’m glad your PC is ok. I think in one of Sheeprampage’s videos they said there is a new version of the opening for the XBOX release of chapter one which is maybe what the frame is in 3:58. Not sure but cool to see that they made a new opening

[@Tericho]

Thank you! I will have to check out the Xbox version!

[@PhantomAngelofMusic]

The "On felted feet" thing screams Catnap to me. CatNap absolutely looks like the soles of his feet could be felt, more so than Huggy or Kissy to me. Specifically because of the way CatNap's "fur" is textured. Also sleep. No. That was an early game reference to CatNap I think

[@CamdenKaneakaNeptunesdaughter]

Maybe it’s a password for the ARG?

[@jshtng78]

The repeat of the voicebox removal clip could be a sign that the Poppy we've been following around is not the original Poppy that made Playtime Co famous but a different personality inside the same body which could indeed be a villain as you suggest. Since 'our' Poppy seems to only be concerned about the Prototype and not Sawyer as far as I know, it could even be the original Sawyer himself in the doll while the narrator is the Prototype mimicking Sawyer's voice.

[@IvorySnarlz]

I saw something that says this: The prototype’s voices it mimicked were all dodgy but he could mimic Sawyers voice *perfectly* and since sawyer was ‘out’ that could imply he’s dead or a toy. I’m wondering if he is now the prototype?

[@williamdrum9899]

Could be. Or, maybe the Prototype can't say something unless it's heard it before, and it must use the voice it heard say that word.

[@blanki0914]

I don't think 1006 can MIMIC voices. If he could I doubt he would use different voices for every single word. I think he records what the people around him say to later use them to speak. We know he's smart enough to do that and it just seems logically obvious. He cuts each recording to get the words he wants to use and puts them together to speak.

[@Dawn452637]

I find it weird that there is a big emphasis on poppy being connected to elliot for her to be Stella. Because her quarters are in the design of a house, and has a private hallway leading to Elliot ludwig. To me, it indicates that Poppy is a child figure to Elliot, that she either represents his child, or is his child. Perhaps the voice box thing could elude to the idea that Poppy's voice was replaced by Stella's, or that she's imitating Stella's voice like the Prototype imitates harley sawyer. Part of me wonders if these toys take on the personalities of the staff due to immense trauma, the prototype takes on a cruel personality (sawyer) and Poppy takes on the personality of a woman that wants to live forever.

[@Ecoenvy]

I think it either is Harley or the prototype copying his voice like he did with Elliot as for poppy she might not be “good” but neither are we keeping in mind we were a biologist working for playtime co. Glad your pc is up and running I’ve missed your content

[@Tericho]

It totally could be 1006 copying. But we still don't know what happened to Sawyer, so I wouldn't count him out yet! Also thank you! It feels so good to have my PC back!

[@UNNaMed72237]

Here for theory

[@kubranurerdem9196]

There's a theory saying that the narrator here is The Prototype mimicing Harley Sawyer's voice. I think it makes sence, since the possibility of him surviving is low. I mean, i don't think the toys wouldn't kill the guy who started The Bigger Bodies İnitiative, but of course he might have somehow survived i guess. But how would he know our journey from the start to the end? How would he watch us all the time? The only character we know that keeps an eye on everywhere all the time, is The Prototype. And we know he can mimic voices. And i think his lines and his tone feels kind of off for Harley Sawyer, but would make perfect sence for The Prototype.

[@kaiaskosmos]

Yay, in glad your computer issues are fixed.

[@sato_prettyvillage323]

We got Chapter 2 The Story So Far today!

[@diypropsmodels7064]

There’s no way Stella is Poppy because she was still around when Mommy Long Legs was created which is 1991 and Poppy was made in 1950

[@stefanolascala]

The orientation Notebook seems to disprove Stella being Poppy as she was secretly kept in the glass case by Elliot Ludwig Himself when he was alive but mind the fact Poppy got a little scar on her face in chapter 3, the scar itself isnt very noticeable , so whats the purpose of said scar? There was a Theory back at the time of chapter 2 that there are more than one Poppy, if I'm correct the scar will be a way to tell them apart and one of them could still be Stella Greyber without messing the timeline

[@dakota5199]

So there was an update for chapter one for the switch and the first tape where we see Elliot talk about poppy and factory tours has been changed! Elliot looks completely different now

Im still kinda iffy on Poppy cause in chapter 3 she did say that if we tried leaving 1006 would kill us before we ever reach the front door as much as she isnt trustworthy I think we all believed her in that moment

But we know for a fact that Stella can't be Poppy based on timeline. The handbook talks both about Stella still being around and Poppy is already locked up.

[@QUEEN_Alpha_Mama86]

Here me out real quick my theories is that Harley SAWYER became one with the Prototype, bc of how so clear experment 1006 mimics "harley Sawyer " and the voice recording sounds similar to "eillot Ludwig " what if Harley SAWYER and Elliott and huggy Wuggy is still alive? What a twist my mind went

[@QUEEN_Alpha_Mama86]

Reason i think huggy Wuggy is still alive is the person who is huggy Wuggy: Before being turned into a horrible toy, Huggard Wugson was just a simple man working at the factory. But after an explosive accident, his life was never the same, and he was transformed into Huggy Wuggy.

[@AlpiineSnowGriffin]

I strongly believe the voice we hear is just the prototype copying his voice. Hes already shown that hes capable of copying voices very well. So it wouldnt be surprising if the one watching us was actually the prototype.

[@Spamkromite]

I'm always in for detecting Wuggiedolias 👀 Chapter 4 hope it speaks more about the humans behind the whole complex than the victims. Most of them were eaten but I'm curious about the survivors and how they made it (or if they are still human at all). After Chapter 3 with all the critters and all that stunt of Poppy with Kissy Missy, like my interest for her left because once she was shown mysterious and aloof and then she was shown caring and kind. Feels like if two people were writing the same character and unless that's part of her multiple personality disorder, I don't buy it. I'm more interested into the scientists and investors of this company now, like back at the time of Aperture Science. Get well soon and hope the computer holds until the last chapter of Poppy Playtime comes (which I'm like believing will be way into the 203X lol) (also look for signs of mold in your vicinity -- one can't be too sure)

I personally don't see poppy as an evil person also I've seen someone who has an interesting theory that both poppy and the prototype has the same goal but just different ideas and methods of doing it which might explain why both sides of them never wanted to get rid of our MC but then that begs the question why did huggy wuggy of all characters attacked us instantly unlike the others? 🤔 🧐

[@Dason-dz6jx]

ok the main problem I have with your theory about poppy being evil is that the ending for chapter 2 was different then what we actually got she says terrible things has happened being able to exist as a doll has killed so many people and the prototype executed the hour of joy and he knew that innocent people whould be killed and mommy long legs is afraid of being apart of the prototype and the go back writing on the wall was probably written by the prototype because most of the employees are Dead and he sent catnap to kill us and he has a instinct to comet voilince so in my opinion Eliot Ludwig is not the prototype and the prototype has a mimicking voice so the person you say that might be alive could just be the prototype mimicking his voice you left crushul lore out of your theory

[@TheRizzler-j8c]

Bro keeps getting sick from the catnap gas, also sawyer narrating was the prototype. Remember how I’m chapter three the prototype got really good with sawyers voice because of the constant conversations and that aligns with the theory of the prototype telling the bigger bodies we’ve encountered so far what to do. Such as huggy only chasing us towards poppy.(I believe the prototype wants to kill her or something. We even put huggy out of commission, at least for now. Then mommy was allowed to play with us then she chases us leading to her death where conveniently the prototype is waiting. A similar case with catnap. Also notice how Huggies and mommy’s and possibly catnaps( didn’t get a clear look at him) always have dismayed pupils when they attack. I believe that indicates when the prototype give a command

[@frosh_the_frog6639]
