I've always loved the detail after Mollie gets decapped that Rambley says "I can see that youre scare-- angr-- upset..." It's such a small detail but it genuinely builds the scene so much because you can actually feel/imagine the face the Player is making that the computer would have a hard time picking apart "scared" from "angry" and settling on a general "upset" because their face is so contorted in fear and dismay of what they just saw. I hope this gets seen, if nothing else because I want the writer of that scene to know that that little detail got noticed

[@ReddwarfIV]

Rambley keeps mentioning facial tracking data, so he likely has a program dedicated to working out what mood you're in. Either the protagonist's expression was rapidly changing or the program wasn't certain and kept throwing out different results. Either way, Rambley's speech synthesis would change to the new output immediately, rather than complete the word like a human would. It's only my interpretation, of course, but I think it paints a neat image of Rambley as being sapient but still very much a computer. He doesn't think the way humans do.

[@MyNameIsBhex]

@@ReddwarfIV I agree, and it leaves the Player's expression up to interpretation. To me, I imagine a static face of abject horror and concern, which is not something Rambley would be trained to spot as it's not a face kids would or should be making at the park. To others, is could super easily be read as the Player's face changing as they go through various thoughts and emotions, unable to settle on feeling one way for long enough for Rambley to even know what you're feeling and only being able to "average" it out(so to speak) to "upset"

[@zavexcapricious2519]

Eh while that makes sense, I believe a bit more in what a few other people speculated about it, which is that he still has programming from the park on things like scripts, things to say, things he CANT say, etc. In this case, your park mascot AI saying "scared" or "angry" probably wouldn't be allowed, so when he tried it glitches and he's forced to go with just the general, more "soft" term of just "upset". Which I can believe considering you can tell he has scripts and pre programmed behavior for certain things based on the way his sprite moves more rigidly during those moments, but to be fair I can see either that or the face tracking thing to be true! And honestly like both speculations there lol its a very nice detail either way

[@EveRosell]

I find it hilarious how Game theory completely missed that Lloyd was actually the ORIGINAL big mascot for the park. With him being painted in the gate instead of Rambley in the old Isaac video, with the Rambley ride most probably initially being Lloyd ride and with statue of Lloyd being behind the stage in the theater - the same type of statue that is now Rambley and Isaac at the gate. Lloyd was most probably replaced by Rambley at some point (even "he hurts Lloyd" could be attributed to that). Rambley is actually the "Donald Duck" here.

[@greenstarlover1]

I think the phrase animatronic Mollie was saying is "Not Rambly - he hate Lloyd". Maybe a joke playing part in an older routine?

Another thing, the photo of Lloyd and Rambley in the Rambley's Railroad might be a reference to Mr. Toad's Wild Ride being rebranded to The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh where a photo of Mr.Toad handing the deed over to Owl was left in the ride as an easter egg, this along with the Lloyd Limos signs left over imply the ride was originally Lloyd Limos.

[@TheRezro]

They should go with the Moon route and while making him suspicious, not make him a villain. My personal theory is... that there is no villain! At least not directly. Whole thing is more closer to natural accident similar to Disney Discovery Island, what was infested by dangerous amebas. Just with killer hybrids. So I personally would imply series of unrelated local dramas, which such institutions are full off. But the core one would be that hybrids were created illegally as off book hidden attraction for rich clients of particular tastes. But then escaped from cages when park was actually closed for renovation. Someone on top closed it under fake excuse, to cover illegal activity, but didn't have enough pull to actually recapture rogue assets. But thing is that those people are long gone and probably would not care. Hint toward that is actually lack of promotion of hybrids as attraction and as wild animals they could not work with humans, without supervision. Though employees heard about new mascots, they may not actually know anything about it. That is my take at least and it actually would be more interesting.

[@TheRezro]

Afer finishing watching it. Yeh, it is clearly a red hearing. As some people pointed out Loyd (Lion) was actually the original main mascot. But now we see Racoon statues all over the place. Despite narration claim that they didn't have even proper costume before. I think Rambly did something what give him status as new star mascot and that could work as explanation why park was closed (killer mascots would be something well know, if it would happen during park opening). They basically were replacing assets in it with Rambly, but then things go south. So yeh, while there is a clear tension between two, I do not think AI is actually the bad guy here.

[@carmandirda]

I'd honestly be super disappointed if Rambley turned out evil, having an AI character being on our side is such a breath of fresh air. Mascot games like Fnaf have always seemed to be about destruction and ruin and the one thing I noticed a lot of people have always seemed to want is to restore the characters back to what they once were. To repair them. So far I can't recall a single mascot game actually doing that, at best it's been about picking up the pieces and putting things to rest, especially whatever ghosts seems to linger. I don't know if Indigo will go that route, but there seems to be hints of it given Rambley's plan, then again... there seems to be hints pointing towards all sorts of conclusions. Honestly the thing I'm most curious about is that Ramble berry, how in the world did it get out of the arcade game?

People lie to themselves all the time, doesn't mean they have malicious intent when they do it. The rest of Rambley's lying could also be attributed to him wanting to believe the park is still operational (because he would get to do what he was made for and not be lonely), and he _drops_ that self-delusion when a guest is in harm's way. If he was actually evil, if he was responsible for the mascots going feral, he could have just kept the staff room door closed and let Molly kill you. He didn't.

[@zodiachimera7557]

Just a personal theory, but I think the noise that wards off Lloyd is just an alarm related to the heart monitor feature that Rambley mentions the Critter Cuff has when you get it. Getting "up close & personal" with Lloyd was Ed's 1st real brush with the living mascots. His heartrate spikes in panic, the alarm goes off/lights up, & Lloyd's driven off. By the time of Mollie's chase though, it *doesn't* react. Ed's gotten into the swing of things enough to keep his cool (enough to try - & fail - to fight Mollie off when she catches him instead of freezing like he did when Lloyd grabbed him).

[@howlingpheonix]

I can honestly see that happening, game theory worthy 👍

[@Drave_Jr.]

Makes sense why Mollie doesn't trigger it.

[@Thoast_]

I'd like to add on the idea of fight or flight and how that might also make sense to why the alarm might not have triggered against molly. With molly, the player notices and registers the threat from enough distance to let their flight response kick in, but with Lloyd, he catches the player off guard, grabbing onto them and practically closing off any way to either fight or flight, which in turn would raise your sense of dread and likely your heartrate more. Just some food for thought.

Why would Rambley turn out to be 'evil'? Rambley has very much laid out his motivations already: --Hopes the player will trust him and be his first friend since being abandoned 8 years ago, so he won't have to be alone anymore. --Hopes to restore Indigo Park to be the amazing place it was before it was abandoned, because.. --Hopes to give his guests the best Indigo Park experience they can have, since this is his whole purpose in existing. --Wants to keep the player alive, because the player dying would fail all three of the previous goals. Rambley has already demonstrated the ability and willingness to break rules/protocol/his script in order to save the player's life; this shows he is not rigidly defined by his programming at this point. He has also expressed willingness to be open and honest with the player, and lying to the player doesn't benefit him in anyway related to the above motivations. He was really surprised and panicked when he saw the player being chased by Mollie, too. Every sign points to that Rambley really does care about the player. Sure, there are no small number of questions to be answered, but we only just met him and started our adventure. I'd love a chance to just stop and ask Rambley some questions about what he knows of the state of the park, and the mascots in particular, but given that we seem to have a silent protagonist at the moment, it doesn't seem like that would happen. I really like the idea of Rambley being an antithesis to GlaDOS, though. I enjoy the concept of having an AI friend helping me through the park, and trying his best to keep me safe because he genuinely cares about me. And I especially love the idea that I am _his_ ray of hope, too. Knowing that I am, in Rambley's words, his spark of sunshine, motivates me to brave an abandoned theme park full of killer mascots and who knows what other dangers, all just so I can help this lonely abandoned AI who has had it so rough, to finally have a purpose again. The idea of Rambley turning around and trying to murder the player at some point is almost unthinkable to me. At least, I don't believe he'd do so of his _own_ accord. Granted he's been abandoned and alone for almost a decade, and given the state of things, some kind of mental breakdown at some point is not something I'd put out of the question. Even so, Rambley gets the benefit of the doubt in my book. I _am_ a little dubious about the idea that the park can be restored, but if Rambley thinks it can be done, I'll gladly place my trust in him. And hey, for all I know this 'magic kingdom' of his really does have a little magic left in it...

[@1-upanimations878]

29:26 Game Theory didn’t show the entire scene. Sure, Rambly got jealous, but they cut-off Rambly asking why his friends didn’t get one too. He got mad for them and stuck out for them since only Lloyd got one. That’s the problem with this theory; Mason paved out character details during production about how Lloyd acts and he’s a jerk, Rambly tried to gloss-over what was happening since he just wants someone to talk to and help Indigo Park(if they’re desperate enough, they tend to see red as green), and why would Rambly kill Mollie? He has the motive for Lloyd, but not for Mollie unless if it was an act of mercy or a last resort for Rambly. Edit: Uniquegeese’s video: Meet the Cast-Indigo Park, at the 6;23(In that video), Mason states that Lloyd is self-centered and that the cast can barely tolerate him. So, even more of a reason why Rambly doesn’t like him. Imagine having this cocky jerk get this special merch while you and your friends get the normal merch…of course, you’d be mad at that.

33:15 It would be interesting if Salem’s section of the train ride secretly foreshadows how they might die if we are to encounter them later on.

[@TheRealPokeWhizz]

The one thing that keeps coming up for me is that mollie is in the cage in rambley rush, but seconds later she’s out in the open, being corrupted by Salem,and at no point do you see her pass you. This wouldn’t make any sense, unless, the one you fight is not actually mollie, but some sort of evil clone. Salem might be keeping the real mascots hostage, and she may have replaced them with evil clones, thus “and all my old friends are united again”. Rambley’s plan might be to get rid of the imposter clones, by killing them off 1 by 1. He might need the help of the real mascots who have physical bodies, to kill Salem. This also explains Lloyd and why the critter cuffs have a built in deterrent, which I assume rambley installed. Also in the music video, where he “fixes” mollie, could be replacing her evil clone with the real mascot. “He hurts Lloyd” might be him trying to hurt the clone. There is proof of a physical Rambley, in the fact that when you show the Rambley mask to Rambley and he plays the audio, the two staff members talk about being replaced, and right after they got the RACOON costume. These might not necessarily be clones, but also rogue physical counterparts in the sense that all of the characters might have an AI like Rambley, since Rambley has a physical counterpart. This also makes sense because Lloyd used to be the mascot before Rambley was, as seen in the intro video with Isaac indigo. This could make sense, with how Rambley is trapped in the entrance until you free him. Each of the AIs might be trapped in a different area of the map. But that’s just a theory, a GAME theory.

[@Blur1287]

That is a pretty nice theory

[@TheRealPokeWhizz]

Thanks!

[@fnatilover2003]

it's supposed to represent the mascots being mistreated by the staff

[@TheRealPokeWhizz]

Also, I’ve checked back on mason’s playthroughs, and he takes damage during rambley rush in all of them. Having created the game, it’s safe to assume that he has played through this numerous times, and must be pretty good at it. I searched KZbin, and cannot find someone who played rambley rush without taking any damage. I believe that there may be secret lore if you beat it without any damage taken. Mason did confirm that there were things that nobody has found yet, and I believe this could be it. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to the game, so I can’t test this, but I was wondering if anyone has beaten rambley rush without taking damage.

I think one of the many things that indigo park devs got right when making the game is how well the story is distributed. no matter if game theory is correct on it the lore or not, most of the recent indie horror games, such as Poppy playtime, have executed the way they only hinted at certain parts of the story allowing the player to come up with their own theories of what might’ve happened in the story, makes indigo park an actually good game, because of how well the lore and story of what happened to the park is nicely timed and not revealing too much all at once, not allowing the player to automatically know what’s going on in the story- Props to you guys on that! ^^

[@MomokoTuHarumaki]

[@hayliecramer9311]

I hope rambley is a sweet villain, someone who just wants to be free from the AI but doesn't want to see anyone truly hurt and wants to protect the player. I think the end with him closing the door on molly was him reacting to a code that has him required to help/save the humans from harm. I truly think he will be a sweet boy who only does bad things to his friends when necessary to protect humans. I also think the animatronic saying rambley hurts lloyd is talking about the cuff the player gets at the beginning of the game. I truly think he doesnt want to hurt the mascots.

I will point out, not being "evil" doesn't mean not being an antagonist in the story, or doing no wrong. I fully believe Rambley's just a little guy, who just earnestly wanted you to have a good time and for the park to be put back together, but like... he interprets things a bit differently. He doesn't really seem to _get_ that Mollie was trying to actually _murder_ the player, and does not acknowledge either that Mollie is dead, or that the player's life was at risk (though, he cuts himself off when he mentions the state of the mascots at the end of the Mollie chase, so I suppose we don't know what he actually thinks). It's not that he is, or will ever be malicious, he just _doesn't understand._ And my theory is that this is exactly what is going to cause some big problems. He's definitely gonna have you do some things you shouldn't be doing, and he'll be _just as surprised as you are_ when it goes poorly.

Just a quick thing here for any future theories on this game, Pay attention to the opening sequences. Two friends are chatting about RETURNING to a park they went to as kids. And throughout the game, through the collectables, see the same thing. you have obviously been to the park before. Now, if you take a quick listen to a few of Rambley's first words to the player, they are "I don't seem to have your face in our guest list. Is this your first time here at the park? Or did you just get plastic surgery?". This is a small detail, but might imply that the player might have been involved in some sort of accident at some point. Either that, or the 8 years difference might be affecting it... or its just for emersion. Anyway, W game, I've been looking forward to it for so long.

[@robw3610]

Honestly I interpret this as more less due to how much time has passed since Ed has last been to the park. We know that at minimum it's been 8 years or more. Can't really assume age but Ed was likely a child during his last visit. While I am not sure this detail was planned this way, but even the best facial recognition tech we have today struggles at matching childhood pics to adult one. I work a lot with this tech professionally. So while I can't really confirm if the limits of this real world tech were thought about when planning this dialog line, this detail alone screams more like a lot of time has past instead of it implying Ed had plastic surgery or some sort of other disfigurement, to me at least. This line seems more like a prescripted generic line Ramblry's AI would use when he doesn't recognize a visitor.

[@rawrdino7046]

Or maybe they didn't had AI when he went to the park

Possibly after an attempt to hack the park by a competitor went horribly wrong. Is the one who caused the whole park shutdown. Corrupting the other AI, rambley being immune to an extent at least the one at the entrance. This AI being Salem, ironically used as the park's security system as opposed to Rambley being more of the greeting tour guide. While the supposed hackers being the ones where that Lamb plush originated. Since as Rambley said it wasn't an Indigo Park object, must be from another place.. Belongs in the trash.

I love old Rambley voice, like that its included. Current Rambley is awesome.

[@Xsplatoon3]

I really hope Rambly isn't evil. He's my favorite silly boi! And I can't wait for Chapter 2 of this amazing game you're working on! I'll be waiting for it, but until then, toodles!

[@DuckonHead]

I'm glad the kickstarter fundraiser was successful! Great job, I can't wait to see chapter 2

The merch we NEED is the Rambley shirt that's in the gift shop.

[@DudeStrange]

Yeah, not realizing i can click the collectibles for extra dialogue was something that happened to me as well. a "click to show to Rambley" tooltip when hovering over the collectibles would be very helpful

I noticed the Jurassic Park and the DSAF references. I see you, and it’d be really cool if this project takes off

[@walla_pools]

Wait, what was the jurassic park reference specifically?

The game definitely deserves a chef's kiss. If you manage to get Rambley as a real life AI bot for people's cell phones, I would not be surprised you made extreme amounts of money from it. The world is beautiful, the chase areas work, the voice work solid, but congratulations, Rambley has stolen the hearts of many, and is the cornerstone to your success.

15:27 I KNEW IT!! I kept hearing that and being like, that’s a Day Shift at Freddy’s Easter egg. I’m so glad I was right, aubergine man survives woo🎉🎉

16:27 i originally thought that it was just a light reflection cuz i thought it couldn't possibly be a pupil, i thought she just had dead black eyes like an actual bird might havw

Bro this is your big opportunity to really be a pain for game theory (in a good way) and to be honest you've handled it extremely well. Kudos Mason.

[@Moon525]

The animation and VA work of the game is amazing; you and the staff did such a great job!

[@hyachan]

I'm loving the game itself so far. The music is really on point for me and my 4 year old sings along and asks for the Rambley Review. Good job with Chapter 1. Can't wait for more of the game!

[@animeobsessionsupreme1728]

As someone who usually takes a while to warm up to games (except fnaf and undertale which were immediate loves) it took me till chapter 3 to get on the poppy train I have to say I almost immediately loved indigo park! It reminds me of that first excitement I experienced when security breach came out! I love the little play on to Disney and it just looks amazing over all! Keep up the amazing work my friend! You’re doing great! I love all the designs you made they’re all well thought and lovely

[@SgtStuka]

I'll just say, if Rambley is evil, I will riot. He's a goofy goober who needs to be cherished. What you've created and have planned to make is your project and we're here for the journey.
