Quick side note everyone: I make some comments about chapter 2 in this video, it was actually edited several days ago before the Poppy Playtime Ch2 teaser trailer came out. So if it seems odd I don’t acknowledge it, that’s why!

I had my own little theory which might be a stretch, perhaps the person you play was one of the scientists that worked and came back to do good my main reason is the way poppy says :”you opened my case” take note they sounded surprised like they are taken a back

[@JonoLB]

I found it interesting how the game starts with really building up Poppy, to then come into contact with Huggy Wuggy first. I feel that’s what made it such a surprise to me at least to really get interested in the story. Cause it’s like oh ok there’s waaay more here than just Poppy.

"I don't think Huggy is actually trying to kill us" He chases you and tries to bite your face off, and the only way to stop him from killing you is by dropping him into a pit. I think that he is somewhat under Poppy's influence, but that he still has most of the control, and decides to kill you while he guides you to the location.

[@cluster4583]

Boi u didn't carefully listen his theory as u know someone has written all these go back, stop and no signs so the person can actually change his mind but poppy uses huggy and force him to go there and get her out that's how they r working together and even if he died she can just revive him one of the death phrases she says experiment 1006 isn't he wonderful this is probably by poppy and this shows they r together and good with each other I wish u payed more attention and probably huggy didn't die from that

Also, have you noticed? When we play Security Tape, it basically says there are hidden motion triggers. When we enter Make A Friend and turn on the machines by tapping the red button, one of the googly-eyed machines is watching us. The middle one. I bet that is one of the motion triggers set there once by paranoidal Leith Pierre.

The reason Stella was a good exp for poppy was because she was a WILLING person. The other expirements went bad because they didn't realize the willingness is what made poppy special. You make unwilling souls do that and you get monsters

[@homie37]

I have a personal theory that the toy size correlates to soul age, like how huggy wuggy was (presumably) an adult and poppy is a child soul so the smaller a toy is the more docile it will be

To be fair to Playtime co I was in a steel factory that took safety extremely seriously and they had warnings like that head being ripped off. They wanted that the workers paid attention so used various tactics to make the warnings to stand out. One was dark humor with blood and gore. They actually hired few teenboys to make few as a school project and those got a good response.

I have a small theory that poppy did indeed start haunted. She's a real girl...just like you. She WAS a real girl, tours brought in new kids and new minds to place into a new doll. This game gives me major Bendy vibes but like in a new, original, unique ways.

[@akondar]

The Crayon Messages are colour coded to the toys much like the facility has the same 3-4 colours throughout. Blue: Huggy Red: Dinosaur Yellow: Cat Green: Robot The letter you receive has 2 different coloured inks. "We're still here" is a different colour. The tape itself is yellow, the writing on it is blue and most of the writing is the same red. It was a call for help that poppy has had altered to have the player find her case. When you find broken toys they are typically bloody. Possibly there is a guiding intelligence behind each 'series' of toys.

@@chrissyholybagel7971 Not sure to be honest. I don't recall pink as a key colour or as text. If we were going with the different department/sector colours indicating which staff member was used it would mean that the pink one is the girl but the voice actress does the voice of poppy so it does mess up the idea alittle bit at this point atleast. We do see video of them removing the stone/chip thing from a poppy so possibly the original poppy was put into the pink huggy and someone else/a newer model was installed in poppy.

The gray tape has some sort of wires, maybe a wire hand? There's a theme of hands here, or grabbing/taking. We have Huggy wuggy's hand, the grab pack (two hands) ,the crane, poppy's hand and a wire hand (?) There's a pattern!

[@Org13fan1]

Personally, I don't think Poppy is a bad guy. She's one of the victims just trying to escape but is being held prisoner like the other employee's, considering the way she responded to being freed. She sounded relieved instead of sinister like other games would have played the scene. Maybe this "mother" is the Pinky huggy buggy who is holding Poppy prisoner to keep her safe from the real villain who wants her to complete his research to making people into toys. However, none of the other toys are strong enough or capable of reaching the Poppy, so they tricked the Main character into doing it for them. My only other theory is that somehow Poppy got the letter out so the MC can help save everyone since she can't do it herself.

[@redbed8730]

So sister location thing but baby killed the main player just to use his skin tho

[@coolboss999]

I also agree. I personally hope that Poppy I'd actually a good guy and since Poppy was the only one that was successful, the other toys trapped her to keep her away from everyone else. I hope she doesn't become like Baby in Sister Location where she seems good but turns out to be bad in the end

[@katiesherman6517]

So I noticed a couple things, one of which is just something people seem to forget after it got mentioned, but the other is a little thing, that very few people have noticed at all. 1. Laith is the Head of Innovation. He's not a security guy, he's the head of the technological innovation. 2. Huggy has a space for a death date on his plaque. There is a little dash after his "created" date, it's not that it's hard to see, it just doesn't have a lot of attention on the item. So that means that when they made his plaque they knew he was alive.

[@sillyguyfred]

I like the theory that Poppy isn't evil and that she will guide us to killing all of the employees that were turned into toys (assuming that their bodies are still alive, just weirdly combined with the toys. In that scenario, death would be the best escape from their pain) and at the end, she'll want us to kill HER (in the body combination scenario). If it's the employees' souls that are trapped in the toys, then she'll probably lead us to freeing their souls and freeing her soul at the end.

One thing that stood out to me from the first video on the play through of this game is in Laith's tape. He says that "we play this little tape on loop when we close for the day" but we found the tape on the desk? I think that it's possible what ever happened happened during the day, but somehow no one noticed anything was going on. Or it's possible that it happened at night, but someone took the tape out, either to avoid scaring passing people who could save them, or something else? I'm not sure, but it's odd that the tape was not actually playing on loop like he said.

I do believe we are playing as the rogue experiment. It makes sense that Poppy can communicate with us, that we are weirdly small in relation to the rest of the factory (use the turnstiles at the begging of the game for reference, the MC is so tiny compared to them), we can’t pick up even the tapes without having to use the GrabPack - hinting that they’re too heavy for us to move -, normal sized humans would not be able to go through the vents the way MC can (they’d be too big, too slow), if you fall from a height, you get no fall damage and the sound doesn’t sound like crunching bones, but more like *plastic*. It would be a really great twist if that’s what the developers go for, especially if you consider the kind of obscure hints like what I mentioned.

Um... if Huggy is supposedly 'missing' in the last tape, then that can't be him causing the massacare in the background. Instead, the experiment they mention clearly was the ring leader and had the other toys doing their dirty work.

I think the theory of Playtime Co. experimenting on children is also backed up by a particular phrase on the Boogie Bot poster in the storage area as it reads to handle shipments with extreme care.

Lethe isn't the security head, he's the head of 'inovation'. Also the alarms don't seem to be going off at all despite the tapes claims, any theories why?

[@medusathedecepticon]

My theory on that is if the factory really has been abandoned for years, the cops may have started ignoring the alarms which for all we know at this point may have already gone off or they or silent. We don't see our character outside so maybe the alarm went off when they entered the factory? I am not sure though. Or maybe the alarms are just broken due to not being upkept?

[@venomwolverine08]

Or maybe it was just a bluff since all the experiments they were conducting they couldn't have had that expendable income

Same with "nobody leaves without a toy". At first it seems like a cute sentiment, but considering how they treat their employees, it seems more like a threat. "You're not leaving until you do your job." That kind of thing.

[@deadleaf_and_august]

“ Exp. 1006.” “Isn’t he wonderful?” Is a rare cutscene, describing Huggy Wuggy is a flesh toy made to satisfy the need for “life-like” toys. Or that’s what I think it is

I get that you’re relating this to its similarities with BATIM, but I doubt that will be the case with the ending. Only chapter 1 has come out so far, but I can’t see it having the same idea that the game is just a never-ending time loop; it just doesn’t seem like it would make much sense.

Thinking about this, when we die, notice the background how it’s like a TV, like a VHS tape effect, this could tie into we are a toy/experiment ourself theory, we are a robot and this is what we see when we die. Another thing I’m not sure if it’s true but what if we are experiment 1006? And Poppy is asking us if Huggy Wuggy is wonderful? Like the last VHS tape says, Experiment 1006 went “missing”, but some how poppy tracks us down or something and sends us that letter, I’m sure there’s lot of holes in this and stuff might not add up but it’s something that I thought of, feel free to make edit/change this a little

Laith Pierre was the guy in the commercial talking about factory tours. I recognized his voice. I still wonder if the '"no hiding behind doors to scare Laith Pierre " rule applies to Huggy Wuggy and possibly a habit he had when he was human. Huggy frequently hides behind doors in the game.

[@arcticfoxgaming1488]

Here's my own theory: It may not have any meaning, but I do find it rather interesting that out of all the tapes sent to the ex-employee, why send the Poppy Playtime/Factory Tour Commercial? Could it be that the tours were also a means to get human guinea pigs for these experiments? My theory is that the founder wanted Poppy Playtime to be lifelike, i.e. like "a real girl" and so hired scientists to make it possible first trying out on Huggy Wuggy, but he turned out to be a monster. Rather than destroying Huggy Wuggy, among other monstrous toys, he used them as unconventional form of security for anyone dare to tresspass or snoop around in places they shouldn't be. Which is why Pierre mentions about it in the tape as well as a warning for employees not to stay after 8 PM.

[@blacklightfoxy8500]

I don't think haggy is evil, he's just going to frenzy mod when clock hits 8pm. I mean, he has as on fork for the entire character and only attack at the end and falls into the void, but he's probably fine...maybe. Nice video by the way, keep up the good work 👍🎃🕸️🕷️

Now that I think about it... there must be a real life Poppy playtime doll, if they didn't used any CGI for the first cutscene

[@Lily-fox]

At least to me the player character seems to be shorter than a regular adult would be. So I have a theory, for the idea that we might be 1006 or even just an experiment, could they have been trying to make a doll that was so life like that it could be mistaken for a real child? Not only to be an imaginary friend born from a doll but one that could grow with a child to a certain extent. It could learn what your child likes and dislikes and react appropriately, it would truly be interactive and like a real girl/boy. Could the player character be that experiment? Something like that would definitely need to be coordinated and able to cooperate with others. And something that enhanced and life like could conceivably be able to hide in the outside world without being discovered. Just a thought, please let me know if someone else has thought of this before.
