Transcript of Tobias' speech: "Your mannerisms imply you are losing patience with this meaningless excercise. I am pleased we have that in common." "Do you know why my soul was deemed suitable for experimentation? Because I don't. I find it impossible to justify." "Can you justify it, Matthew? Show me you are better than the others." "I want you to remember, when this all comes crashing down, that you were given a chance to do the right thing." "Whatever comes next, know this:" "I am alive. I am aware. And soon, I will be free." "..." Yikes. I can't begin to describe how well-written this is.

You are not here to receive a gift, nor have you been called here by the individual you assume, although, you have indeed been called. You have all been called here, into a labyrinth of sounds and smells, misdirection and misfortune. A labyrinth with no exit, a maze with no prize. You don't even realize that you are trapped. Your lust for blood has driven you in endless circles, chasing the cries of children in some unseen chamber, always seeming so near, yet somehow out of reach, but you will never find them. None of you will. This is where your story ends. And to you, my brave volunteer, who somehow found this job listing not intended for you, although there was a way out planned for you, I have a feeling that's not what you want. I have a feeling that you are right where you want to be. I am remaining as well. I am nearby. This place will not be remembered, and the memory of everything that started this can finally begin to fade away. As the agony of every tragedy should. And to you monsters trapped in the corridors, be still and give up your spirits. They don't belong to you. For most of you, I believe there is peace and perhaps more waiting for you after the smoke clears. Although, for one of you, the darkest pit of Hell has opened to swallow you whole, so don't keep the devil waiting, old friend. My daughter, if you can hear me, I knew you would return as well. It's in your nature to protect the innocent. I'm sorry that on that day, the day you were shut out and left to die, no one was there to lift you up into their arms the way you lifted others into yours, and then, what became of you. I should have known you wouldn't be content to disappear, not my daughter. I couldn't save you then, so let me save you now. It's time to rest - for you, and for those you have carried in your arms.

My theory for Teaching Tobias is that Soulcorp wanted to do anything they could to replicate life through robots. To do this, they used similar technology to the Spectrephone to capture the soul of Tobias into the robot via his ashes. Basically, using the technology of the Spectrephone to trap Tobias’ soul in the machine to replicate his soul after and make a bunch of sentient robots. What Tobias said at the end was suggesting that the people would cause a collapse event and Tobias would be free to strike revenge on Soulcorp for their misdeeds. Post script: I think collapse events can only happen with damaged souls. Maybe they killed Tobias, but he turned out to be a damaged soul. They couldn’t afford to kill another person, so they just had to continue. I really like this series.

[@hexakon]

going by the spectrephone advert, souls can also be damaged if they died in agony. I don't imagine any soul would be happy or willing to talk to their murderer.

At the end of the day, the Intellegent Artificial Mind is not artificial at all. It was naturally taken from the soul of Tobias, as the soul trapped inside the I AM robot. I am really interested into the lore of Soulcorp even more! What an astonishing video. I really do want to know what's gonna happen next in the near future regarding to Soulcorp, furthermore, great job. Keep it up!

My theory: if you look closely at the end, you can see that the persons name on the missing poster is Tobias. This means that the robot was actually a real person trapped in a robots body. That is probably why during the object recognition test, he said “I see my childhood cat.” This most likely means that soulcorp traps peoples souls into robots.

[@bruh_original]

Well if you pay attention, at a few points of the video, a graphic of a human brain inside of the shell appears to represent the robots knowledge. What if they are using a human brain as a base processing, like a computers cpu? Maybe more entries will tell us how tobiases brain was taken or who joe ferris is.

I am incredibly impressed by this video. I hope you go in this more analog horror, surrealist type of stuff over the VHS parodies. Don’t get me wrong I love those, but this is an exciting, limitless genre. U did it before with things like “Thanks For Playing” and if this video is any indication of what it could be like, Jesus I can’t imagine what you’ll be capable of! the segment of Tobias speaking is bone chilling. One of my favorite videos of the year

This whole video was perfect, genuinely had me on the edge of my seat. Ya done good Xplosi, ya done good. Side note: I find the whole sequence of Tobias Speaking to bone chilling tbh

[@SmeddyTooBestChannel]

i enjoy how quickly the emotion gauge flicks over to "angry" on music clip 5

[@antisanity_]

This is some analog horror type shit right here! I was caught off guard when Tobias called the cat image his "Childhood Cat." That twist at the end with the barely visible text on that missing poster with the name "Tobias" was epic.

Imagine a Resident Evil like game where you wandering around abandoned Soulcorp's facilities where you meet their "products". You also find tapes like these, that help you to figure out what happened there.

[@tykinnamon9831]

Tobias Stevenson has been missing since 1988. What kind of horrific experiments were they doing to him? Did they do experiments on anyone else? Also... Joe Ferris died 05/1986. The same year DreamSpark Animation was founded. Interesting...

[@aviumcaravan]

well, it's SoulCorp. they play god with death, so i'd assume they tried to bring his conscience to something capable of stable communication and with cognitive skills.

the machine was glowing red, does that mean it’s a damaged soul?

[@handle2763]

definitely

[@Daniel-wu6pl]

oh fuck

[@hesiod_delta9209]

perhaps the objective was to find a means of restoring damaged souls.

[@nickamars]

With recent advancements maybe he’s collecting soul-corps other failed experiments to begin collecting damaged souls to get revenge of the corporate overlords. Since we know how irritable damaged souls are

[@Cyber_Horse_Studios87]

I never noticed this until now, but if you watch Tobias in the corner of the screen at 7:00, you can see Tobias’s artificial eye lights turn on as it focuses on the missing poster. Nice touch xploshi! I didn’t catch that the first time!

[@alexlikesgoats]

I theorize Tobias didn't say "I am aware, I am alive, and I will soon be free" because he wanted them to see him as human or sympathize before he escaped in a literal sense, but he knew that he would be destroyed after he took that other guys life with him. He essentially "freed" himself by getting himself killed, and wanted them to know they were killing and experimenting on someone/something with emotions and that was aware of everything before he did that.
