0:00Poppy Playtime is a game known both for
0:02its super in-depth, but also very
0:04complex and confusing story hidden
0:06throughout dozens of documents, VHS
0:09tapes, multiple chapters, ARGs, a
0:12spin-off, a book, a Fortnite map, and
0:14more. So much so, it would take me hours
0:17to explain the entire story. And that's
0:19why for the next 2 and 1/2 hours, I'm
0:22going to fully break down and explain
0:24all of the lore in my updated Poppy
0:27Playtime timeline. My name is Elliot
0:31Ludwig. The Bigger Bodies Initiative. We
0:35called it the Hour of Joy.
0:39I'm not afraid.
0:41I can
0:42I can make
0:44better.
0:45>> [screaming]
0:46>> Reminder, as always, this timeline is
0:48just my opinion of the story based on
0:50what we have now, but relax and I hope
0:53you guys enjoy.
0:57The entire story of the game starts in
1:00the year 1930 with a man named Elliot
1:04Ludwig living in Michigan. Elliot was a
1:07normal man with a normal life and a
1:10normal wife named Molly Ludwig, who you
1:13wouldn't think twice about when seeing
1:15around town. However, deep down, Elliot
1:18was extremely ambitious. He enjoyed
1:21creating and inventing things, but most
1:24of all, he loved to see people happy.
1:28So, one day, he had a great idea to
1:31create some happiness of his own by
1:34starting a toy factory to provide
1:37entertainment and smiles to children and
1:40families around the world, leading to
1:42the founding of Playtime Co. this same
1:45year. From here, Elliot grinded for long
1:48hours at the factory trying to get the
1:51company off the ground, and eventually,
1:53it got to a point where he started to
1:55prioritize the families he was making
1:58toys for over his own family at back
2:01home, leaving his house for work in the
2:03early morning and not returning into the
2:06late late night to the point where his
2:08own neighbors found him to be weird and
2:11creepy. After so many months of Elliot
2:14doing this, his wife had felt completely
2:17abandoned by his commitment and so not
2:20even a year after the factory's opening,
2:23Molly Ludwig would divorce Elliot,
2:26leaving him all alone.
2:32The Playtime Factory was still only
2:34minorly successful at this point, enough
2:37to keep the doors open but no iconic
2:40toys to blast the company into the
2:42mainstream or anything like that.
2:44However, despite this, Elliot wanted to
2:46take his love for providing happiness to
2:49children to the next level as he quickly
2:52realized that among the many families he
2:56had already been starting to bring so
2:58much joy to with his toys, there were
3:01also many children that had no family,
3:05orphans. And while for the moment at the
3:08small size of the company, there wasn't
3:10much Playtime Co or Elliot could really
3:13do about this, in the year 1949 on March
3:177th, a child was born under the name
3:20Poppy. Poppy's past for the most part is
3:24left a mystery but we know that she must
3:27have been an orphan herself as shortly
3:29after her birth, Elliot would make his
3:32first attempt at solving the orphan
3:34problem by taking her in and adopting
3:37the young child, giving her the new name
3:40Poppy Ludwig. And little did they know
3:43that this moment would change the
3:45trajectory of their lives and the
3:47Playtime Factory forever.
3:53Elliot was now a single father to the
3:56young child Poppy and he absolutely
3:59adored her, caring for her deeply
4:01despite his long hours at the factory,
4:03cherishing that he once again had a
4:06family. And eventually to show his
4:08appreciation for her, he chose to make
4:11an ode to her in the factory by creating
4:14a toy completely dedicated to Poppy of a
4:17doll that he named Poppy Playtime. The
4:22Poppy Playtime doll was an absolute
4:24mastermind creation of Elliot's. Using
4:26his inventor skills, he managed to
4:28create a doll that was more
4:30technologically advanced than any other
4:32at the time, being able to talk to the
4:35children and hold a conversation like
4:37she was a real person. Furthermore, her
4:40red hair was super realistic and smelled
4:43of poppy flowers, which would soothe the
4:46children that interacted with it, giving
4:48it a therapeutic element as well. This
4:51toy, upon release, would absolutely
4:53explode Elliot's company into stardom.
4:57Millions of families would purchase the
4:59toy for their homes, providing the joy
5:01to the many children that Elliot was
5:03striving to reach for so many years now.
5:06This was everything he ever wanted. With
5:08such big growth of the company, Elliot
5:10would also start to hire out some help
5:13to make operations more efficient,
5:15bringing on employees such as Thomas
5:18Clark in 1955. Or most importantly,
5:21around a similar time, he hired Leith
5:23Pierre. An employee he was much closer
5:26to than the others, putting him in
5:28charge of innovation at the factory. And
5:31he had even let him meet his daughter
5:33Poppy. Although make no mistake, Leith
5:36was a lot different personality-wise
5:38from Elliot, being much more arrogant
5:41and business-minded. Although under
5:43Elliot's leadership, he was still a
5:45great fit and only helped the factory
5:48more. Furthermore, Elliot would also
5:50revamp the factory with things like the
5:53Grab Pack to make building these toys
5:55not just easier, but also fun. His main
5:59goal with everything. Then he struck
6:01gold again as he made another toy in the
6:04late 1950s that called Dowie Doe. A
6:08Play-Doh ask moldable clay featuring the
6:11mascot Dowie the Doe Man, which shot the
6:14factory's pop ularity up even further.
6:17Things were going amazingly for Elliot.
6:19He had a daughter that he could call a
6:21part of his family after being left
6:23alone for years, and his factory was
6:26reaching explosive heights all thanks to
6:29her. Safe to say it was a good time to
6:31be Elliot Ludwig in the 1950s.
6:37Following the boom of the Playtime
6:39Company, Elliot was able to provide more
6:42forms of joy for families when he would
6:44open up his factory for official tours,
6:47where anybody could come inside and view
6:50how the many toys he was creating were
6:52built. He even would invent the
6:54Make-A-Friend Machine in 1960, so that
6:57the visitors of the factory could come
6:59inside and create their very own toys
7:02out of this cartoonish toy maker with
7:04levers to pull and eyes that moved
7:06around like it was really living. On the
7:09topic of Poppy the human, she had just
7:12reached 11 years old in March of that
7:15same year, and as she grew up, she only
7:17became more and more in love with
7:20Elliot's factory. She wrote in her diary
7:22how much she adored all of the new toys
7:25Elliot was creating every single year,
7:27with the most recent one being some kind
7:29of sailor toy as she wrote. Now, at this
7:32point, she had begun going to school for
7:35a while, and with her status as the
7:37daughter of the famous Elliot Ludwig,
7:40other kids would often talk with her
7:42about him and warned her that as she got
7:45older, she would grow bitter and her
7:48love for the factory would wane over
7:50time. But, she didn't care what they
7:52said. She loved it. Elliot would also
7:54tell her that he eventually wanted to
7:56build more Playtime Co. facilities all
7:59across the world one day and she hoped
8:01to travel there to see them when they
8:03were finished. Beyond Poppy though, the
8:05factory would create more successful
8:07toys like Bron the Dinosaur in 1961 and
8:11Boxy Boo in 1966 among presumably many
8:15other undated experiments like
8:17Pianosaurus and his dinosaur band to
8:20keep growing the factory further.
8:22However, as the years went on, Elliot
8:25wanted to do even more to help out
8:28children. As while sure, the factory was
8:31doing its job great and he had also
8:34adopted an orphan to give her a better
8:36life, he knew he could do so much more
8:39good if he just kept innovating. So,
8:43while nothing much would come from it
8:44for now, he began to mess with the idea
8:47of scientific experimentation.
8:50Specifically, he wanted to see if it
8:52were possible to not just improve the
8:54lives of the living children with
8:56material objects, but also potentially
9:00extend the lives of the children
9:02biologically. It sounded like a crazy
9:05over ambitious goal, but when did that
9:07ever stop him when creating the factory?
9:09Over this time, he would begin to run
9:12these little mini experiments with
9:14things like rats attempting to find a
9:17way to scientifically resurrect them.
9:20Now, for the first few hundred
9:21experiments, things were unsuccessful,
9:24but by experiment 814,
9:28he had created some kind of red gel
9:30mixture made with poppy flowers that he
9:34would submerge deceased rats into hoping
9:37for them to resurrect. This did not
9:40work, but it gave Elliot hope that there
9:42was a future there with the Poppy Joe,
9:45especially since he theorized that there
9:47would potentially be better results
9:49working on larger test subjects. And so,
9:53from here on out, he would continue
9:55testing out the technology with a farcry
9:57goal that maybe at some point it could
10:00be used to revive actual people. But
10:02anyway, at some point in the '60s,
10:05Elliot also had another idea to help
10:08children in need, specifically when it
10:10came to building careers. As he would
10:13develop and launch the Young Geniuses
10:16Program, a program where children could
10:19visit the factory and help Elliot Ludwig
10:22with innovation. Meant to be a way to
10:25both get children involved with the
10:27invention part of the factory and to
10:30scout out intelligent minds that could
10:32help develop the factory when they got
10:34older. Especially when it came to the
10:37experimental stuff that he was starting
10:38to tinker with. Many children would
10:40apply to this program and many would get
10:43accepted, like Charlie Moth, Bruno
10:45White, Benjamin Rutherford, and most
10:48importantly of all, there was a child
10:51named Harley Sawyer. Harley was a very
10:54quiet and isolated child with a very
10:57shaky life back home and that showed
11:00when he visited the factory, as he had
11:02little care for talking or friendship.
11:05However, he took a very intense liking
11:08to Elliot and the scientific [music]
11:10process. He enjoyed getting to learn
11:13from him and said being a part of the
11:15program was all that he had ever wanted.
11:18Not only that, but he was extremely
11:20intelligent. He was even described as
11:23the most brilliant mind that Elliot had
11:26ever seen. Despite this, Ludwig was
11:29quick to keep an eye on Sawyer, as it
11:32was clear that with a mind as cynically
11:34dedicated to progress as Harley is, if
11:37not surrounded by kindness, it could
11:40quickly twist for the worst. And as time
11:43passed, that's exactly what happened.
11:46Because Elliot and Harley began to
11:48quickly and not get along for one very
11:51simple reason. While Elliot believed in
11:54research and innovation for the sake of
11:57helping others, Harley, as mentioned,
12:00was much more cynical and believed that
12:02progress was the most important thing at
12:05any cost. This led to Harley believing
12:08that Elliot was soft and was missing the
12:11point of innovation. But that mindset is
12:14what led to Elliot eventually removing
12:17Harley from the program despite his
12:20geniusness. And while this would send
12:22Harley down a complete mental spiral
12:24saying that nobody cared or nobody
12:26understood or he even called Elliot a
12:29soft pathetic small-minded backstabber.
12:32For now, he was out of the factory,
12:34probably for the better. This made
12:36Elliot sad, but unfortunately, things
12:40would get a whole lot worse for him. As
12:43suddenly and tragically, his daughter,
12:46Poppy Ludwig, would end up passing away
12:49far, far too young. And just like that,
12:53again, Elliot's only family member had
12:55left him. This time, his own daughter.
12:58This brought him to his lowest point
13:01mentally, but that doesn't mean that
13:03things were completely hopeless. We
13:06already mentioned before that Elliot had
13:08began messing around with the idea of
13:11biological experimentation and
13:13specifically resurrection. Stuff that
13:16didn't work on rats, but as he noted in
13:18the experiment log, had potential to
13:21work on larger test subjects, perhaps a
13:24human. This gave him the desperate and
13:28quite frankly insane idea to try
13:30experimenting on his own daughter and
13:33attempt to revive her. Specifically
13:36settling on the idea of turning her into
13:39a Poppy Playtime doll, since after all
13:43the doll was meant to be a toy
13:45recreation of herself anyway, and the
13:47porcelain synthetic build of the doll
13:50would allow her to bypass the mortality
13:53of a normal human body. Elliot thought
13:55it would be worth the attempt. But with
13:58how little experience he had, he knew it
14:00would be extremely risky to essentially
14:03take apart his own daughter surgically,
14:05especially with how difficult it would
14:07be to transfer her entire human body to
14:10the small shell of a doll. He'd only
14:13have one shot at creating her, but he
14:16just wasn't confident enough in himself.
14:19And he needed some way to practice,
14:22giving him an extremely desperate but
14:24also extremely sketchy idea. Out of
14:27desperation, Elliot would adopt himself
14:30a new child, a son under the name of
14:34Oliver. However, he did not adopt this
14:37orphan with plans to nurture and take
14:39care of them like he did with Poppy, but
14:42rather he took advantage of the fact
14:44that he was a child with no parents to
14:46look after him if he were to say it
14:49disappear. And therefore, going against
14:52all of his morals he had established
14:54over the past decades, he experimented
14:57on the child first and turned him into a
15:00large-scale model of the planned Poppy
15:02doll's hand skeleton, since that was the
15:05smallest part of the doll and therefore
15:07the hardest to create. He worked hard on
15:10the experiment, using this mysterious
15:13red gel to hopefully bring the child
15:15back to life in this new form, and to
15:18his absolute shock, it was a complete
15:21success. He had proved that he could
15:24create a living breathing toy with his
15:271,006th
15:29experiments. However, among all of this
15:32panic trying to find a way to revive his
15:34daughter, Elliot failed to consider the
15:36fact that what he had just done was
15:39essentially turn an entirely innocent
15:42healthy child into a morbid robotic
15:45beast. When Oliver woke up and saw the
15:48being that he had been turned into, he
15:50was rightfully mortified and was more
15:53specifically angry. He was taken
15:56advantage of for the sake of a different
15:58child that he never even knew and this
16:01devastated him. He didn't feel like a
16:04human being anymore and even refused to
16:07go by his old name Oliver and instead
16:10just wanted to be called the prototype
16:12since that's all he considered himself
16:14anymore, a prototype sacrifice for
16:17somebody else's creation. If there was
16:20any good news among all of this tragedy
16:23though, it was that using the large hand
16:26model as a reference, Elliot would
16:28eventually work on his actual daughter
16:31and would successfully surgically
16:33replace and revive her as a Poppy
16:36Playtime Doll, experiment 1007.
16:41Poppy Ludwig was back. Now, this was
16:45phenomenal news, but Elliot no longer
16:49could stand the idea of wasting so much
16:51of his time away at work when he should
16:54be cherishing the time with his clearly
16:57fragile family he almost lost for the
16:59second time. So, this time around he
17:02decided to bring his family to work,
17:06building a small home inside of the
17:08factory right across from his office
17:11where he put Poppy, allowing him to
17:14easily visit her just a few steps away,
17:17and have a some kind of family life like
17:20he always had wanted. Although, I should
17:22note somebody not included in this
17:25family equation was Oliver. Despite
17:28Elliot telling Oliver that they could
17:30still be a family, We could be a family
17:35if you want. And that him and Poppy
17:38would get along great, he wouldn't let
17:40him meet Poppy despite him constantly
17:43asking. The reason for this is unknown,
17:46but it's most likely that Elliot was
17:48scared of the prototype. Because as we
17:51mentioned, 1006 was specifically
17:54extremely angry, and Elliot probably
17:57didn't want to risk allowing something
17:59into the home with Poppy that could
18:01possibly harm her once again.
18:03Nonetheless, Elliot got what he wanted
18:06with the return of Poppy, and that's
18:08where this decade came to a bittersweet
18:11close.
18:15With the continued success of the
18:17factory, new toys would be created like
18:20Candy Cat, a rolling gumball machine,
18:23and Yarnaby, a fluffy rainbow lion with
18:27hair made of yarn meant to promote a
18:29wildlife conservation campaign, another
18:32good deed of Elliot's. Eventually in
18:341972, Elliot would partner with a
18:37construction company, Warren B.
18:39Construction, to expand the Playtime Co.
18:42building further, creating all sorts of
18:45new areas, namely a full-blown
18:47innovation wing, all sorts of production
18:50lines, and a Playtime Co. theater where
18:53they could play shows for tour guests to
18:55name a few. However, the biggest thing
18:57that they would create during this time
19:00would be in 1976
19:03when Elliot revisited his relationship
19:05with orphans. While it had been rocky up
19:08until this point to say the least, he
19:10still valued them, and possibly out of
19:13guilt for what he had done with Ollie,
19:15he decided to create an entire orphanage
19:19program under his company, centered
19:21around providing homes and happiness to
19:24those without parents. Starting the
19:26Playtime Co. Foster and Adoptive Care
19:28Initiative to encourage the adoption of
19:31children among Playtime Co. employees,
19:33while also having Warren Bach build an
19:36entirely new place to house them in
19:39Playcare. An orphanage below the ground
19:42that was domed off and designed to
19:44recreate essentially a paradise for
19:47children. It gave them beds to sleep,
19:49schools to learn, counselors to talk to,
19:52a toy store, a playground, all
19:55throughout a massive city facade. Elliot
19:58would also hire all sorts of upper-level
20:00employees at or around this time, like
20:03Stella Grayber, who would manage
20:05Playcare, Jimmy Roth, the head of
20:07marketing, Stuart, who would be the
20:10current head of shipping, and Eddie
20:12Ritterman, the head of research, among
20:14others.
20:19At this point in Playtime Co.'s history,
20:21they were certainly successful, and the
20:23factory would continue to expand as
20:26normal with the creation of toys like
20:28the Swap-a-Mols, a line of expandable
20:31toys featuring PJ Pug-a-Pillar and
20:33Cat-Bee. There was Bonzo Bunny, and they
20:36even made an action figure based off of
20:38the popular Dewey Dough toy, Dewey the
20:40Dough-Man. But now, being 30 years
20:43removed from the release of Poppy
20:46Playtime, the factory's best days
20:48appeared to be behind them. That is,
20:51until the year 1984,
20:54when Elliot and Playtime would release
20:57none other than Huggy Wuggy, a blue,
21:01hairy, smiling stuffed animal that
21:04absolutely exploded the factory's
21:07popularity to even higher levels than
21:10the Poppy doll ever did. Huggy quickly
21:13became Playtime Co.'s most successful
21:15toy, selling millions, and it wouldn't
21:18take long for them to capitalize on this
21:20success further by immediately turning
21:23around and releasing a pink female
21:25version of Huggy named Kissy Missy just
21:28a year later in 1985, expanding the
21:30universe even wider, along with
21:33releasing the mini Huggies around this
21:35point for a more affordable version as
21:37well. Playtime Co. now had hit a
21:40completely new peak. It was making more
21:42money than ever, selling more toys than
21:45ever, and most importantly to Elliot,
21:48helping and providing joy to more people
21:51than ever. Although speaking on Elliot,
21:55at this point he was beginning to get a
21:57quite old, working on the factory for
22:00over 50 years now. And so he began to
22:03scale back into retirement, allocating
22:06more and more duties to his right-hand
22:09man, Leith Pierre, to be his presumed
22:12successor once he fully was retired.
22:15Although he wouldn't really get to
22:18retire because brewing beneath all of
22:21this newfound success over all of these
22:23years was Oliver or the prototype's rage
22:27against Elliot for what he had done to
22:29him. After years now his anger had
22:33finally reached a boiling point and it
22:35was his time to get revenge. Eventually
22:38the prototype would attack and kill
22:42Elliot before then attempting to make an
22:45escape through Playcare where he'd
22:48temporarily hide among all of the other
22:50children. After Elliot's mysterious
22:53disappearance, at first nobody knew what
22:56happened to his body, but it wouldn't
22:58take too long for them to to out. As a
23:01back over into Playcare, the prototype
23:04wanted to break for the next exit.
23:06However, in order to power on the back
23:09door he wanted to use to escape, he
23:11would need to power it with two green
23:14GrabPack Hand Chargers, an attachment
23:17for the GrabPack developed so that
23:19employees could power on doors whenever
23:21they wanted. Obviously, he couldn't
23:23power these on because he was just a
23:25hand and also risked being caught when
23:28trying to steal the equipment. However,
23:30for as limited as he was physically, he
23:33had grown to mentally be extremely
23:36intelligent and more specifically
23:39manipulative. Because he eventually
23:41befriended a child inside of Playcare
23:43named Theodore Grambell, a young
23:467-year-old kid that sadly didn't have
23:49very many friends. However, the
23:51prototype offered to befriend him and
23:53would live under his bed pretending to
23:55be a quote imaginary friend as to not
23:59raise any suspicion if the kid were to
24:01talk about him. Anyway, 1006 manipulated
24:05Theo into digging through Playtime Co.
24:07documents and eventually collected the
24:09two GrabPacks and two green hand
24:12attachments that he needed before
24:14finally planning an escape one night
24:16through the aforementioned exit.
24:18However, while trying to do this, Theo,
24:21still being a young child, ended up
24:24shocking himself with the green hand and
24:27was critically injured. Now, the
24:29prototype could have and maybe should
24:31have ran away and left Theo here to die.
24:34However, I guess realizing that he'd be
24:37no better than the man he just killed if
24:40he himself were to destroy the life of
24:42another orphan by leaving him here, the
24:44prototype instead awarded the staff to
24:47the child's injuries, both saving Theo's
24:51life but also leading to the discovery
24:53of the prototype and perhaps most
24:56importantly Elliot's body, finally
24:58giving them some kind of reason for his
25:01disappearance. He was killed by this
25:03thing. Nonetheless, the factory workers
25:06were horrified by what they saw,
25:08especially the company's new leader,
25:10Leith Pierre. And upon trying to talk to
25:14the prototype in containment to figure
25:16out what happened or develop some kind
25:19of motive, he simply wouldn't talk or do
25:22anything to give any kind of
25:23explanation. However, to learn more
25:26about this Playcare incident, Leith
25:28would hire himself a private
25:30investigator named Jared Lockhart, who
25:33he tasked with investigating all of
25:35these incidents and going through
25:37Elliot's files, specifically to
25:40hopefully learn more about what this
25:42random metal claw creature is meant to
25:44be. Only for Jared to find mentions and
25:48later discover that there was a second
25:51creation, experiment 1007,
25:54Poppy. The real, living Poppy. This doll
25:58perplexed Leith because while she was
26:01much more willing to talk and give him
26:03answers, which was helpful, she
26:05introduced herself as Poppy Bloodwig, as
26:09in [music]
26:09Elliot's daughter. And she even
26:12remembered meeting Leith years ago and
26:14had the same voice from back then as
26:16well. Although notably, she didn't
26:18particularly look happy, but rather
26:21appeared to be traumatized by
26:23everything, likely because her father
26:25was dead. While Leith would be thrown
26:27another curveball when throughout
26:30Elliot's files, they found mentions of
26:32the resurrecting red Poppy gel as well.
26:36Now, as confusing as discovering all of
26:38this must have been, Leith, being the
26:40businessman he was, quickly saw a ton of
26:44potential in all of this for the
26:46company. Elliot first burst onto the
26:48scene with the lifelike Poppy doll, but
26:51if they can now figure out how to use
26:53all of this tech to make toys as
26:55realistic as this Poppy doll, it would
26:58put any other toy company out of
27:00business. They wouldn't be able to
27:02compete. Now, unfortunately, Leith
27:04didn't have the technical know-how to
27:06take these things apart and definitely
27:08wouldn't know how to recreate them. But,
27:11he knew some people that maybe could. As
27:14another thing that Elliot had left
27:16behind was the Young Geniuses program.
27:20Filled with a list of ambitious children
27:23from decades in the past. Leith would
27:25have his investigator, Jared, track down
27:28every single member of the program and
27:31figure out what happened to them all.
27:33Some people built up normal successful
27:35careers doing things like
27:36anesthesiology. Some people appeared to
27:39be dead. Others had no descriptions at
27:41all. However, there was one person that
27:44stood out to the team, Harley Sawyer,
27:48now Dr. Harley Sawyer, who had many
27:51years of what they called, quote,
27:53practical experience, being certified by
27:56the ABNS or the American Board of
28:00Neurological Surgery. Meaning that after
28:02his run-in with the factory, Harley had
28:04become a professional in neurology or
28:08the study of the brain. This, along with
28:10his reported high-level intelligence in
28:12the past and obsession with Playtime Co,
28:15made him everything that factory needed
28:18right now. Although, there were still a
28:20lot of worries about his reported
28:22temperament as a child. So, despite him
28:25being by far the best candidate, they
28:28would instead avoid him and would rather
28:31hire a few other scientists from the
28:33program, namely Bruno White, Anthony
28:36Carrizales, and Carmine and Evelyn
28:39McCabe. Upon bringing them all in to
28:42study everything, they too were
28:45unsuccessful at understanding these
28:47creations with how complex they were.
28:50And the only person to have any real
28:52documented success would be Anthony, who
28:55couldn't recreate any of Elliot's
28:58inventions or anything. But he was able
29:00to make something interesting of his
29:03own. A red poppy flower based gas that
29:06he would call Eternum Somnium, Latin for
29:11eternal sleep. Because it was found that
29:14when a subject would breathe the [music]
29:16gas in, it would immediately put them to
29:19sleep. Eventually being renamed to the
29:22better known red smoke. And while sure
29:25it didn't bring them any closer to
29:27solving the experiments or even being
29:30useful in any way, especially since it
29:32had a ton of negative side effects like
29:35hallucinations, unusual heart activity,
29:38and chills, it was still very
29:40interesting and the company would keep
29:42producing and testing this stuff into
29:44the future to see if it could be useful.
29:47Now, I'll touch more again on all the
29:49experimental stuff in a moment, but for
29:52now the factory wasn't focused on that.
29:54Because eventually they discovered that
29:56Elliot's files hid one more important
30:00thing. Plans for a never released toy
30:04line called the Smiling Critters. A set
30:08of eight themed characters designed to
30:10come with plushes that dispensed various
30:13scents and had a cartoon centered around
30:15them. With the factory raking in dough
30:18with the Wuggy success, Leith had a ton
30:21of faith in this conceptual line and
30:23therefore dumped as much of their new
30:25fortune as they could into developing
30:28and releasing the line ASAP, hoping for
30:31it to be a massive success. Releasing in
30:341989,
30:35however, it was extremely controversial.
30:39For the cartoon, only one season was
30:42ever produced because it was hated by
30:44almost everybody that watched it. Mostly
30:47for how creepy one of the critters were,
30:49Catnap, who unlike all of the others
30:52with these bold and outgoing happy
30:54personalities, was stone-cold silent.
30:58And in one of the episodes, he dispensed
31:01a red smoke to the critters to make them
31:03sleep. A direct nod to the smoke being
31:06produced in the factory, which creeped
31:09children out. And furthermore, when
31:11producing the plush line with all of the
31:14toys unique scents, Catnap was supposed
31:17to dispense a clear lavender scent, but
31:20instead, he dispensed none other than
31:22the red smoke itself, causing the owners
31:26of the plush not to be soothed, but
31:29rather to fall into an intense sleep
31:31with horrifying nightmares. This
31:34disaster led to the Catnap plush being
31:36recalled, but Playtime Co. was put under
31:39so much back lash that the line itself
31:41would never really recover. And despite
31:44them publicly pretending that the
31:46Smiling Critters were a success, the
31:48company was basically financially ruined
31:51by this. They would attempt to sort of
31:54resurrect the line with a sequel in the
31:57Nightmare Critters, but the tragedy of
31:59the Smiling Critters would leave that
32:01unsuccessful as well. They would also
32:03attempt to recreate the Wuggies craze by
32:06making a similarly themed character,
32:09Chum Chugging,
32:10that was also not very well received.
32:13Not only that, but with the
32:15disappearance of Elliot to the outside
32:17world, eventually police would search
32:19his home, and inside of a duffel bag
32:22upstairs, they would find a body of a
32:25young boy with missing organs and bones.
32:29The body that once made up the child,
32:32Oliver. This report going public shed
32:35another new negative light on the
32:37company. And while Playtime Co.
32:39proclaimed his innocence, neighbors
32:41noted Elliot's creepy behavior when he
32:44would suspiciously leave the house at
32:46random times at night, building more of
32:49an eerie narrative around the factory.
32:52The founder was dead, and the happy
32:54image they had built for decades was
32:57beginning to crumble.
33:02Following all of these disasters around
33:04the company, it seemed like Playtime Co.
33:07was going to fall under Leith Pierre's
33:09leadership, and he needed to figure
33:11something out quickly. With his only
33:14real hope being the couple of
33:16experiments and biological research done
33:19by Elliot Ludwig. Sure, he saw the
33:21potential in them, but even with the
33:23help from the other scientists, they
33:25couldn't figure out how any of it was
33:27made. However, he did still have one
33:30final option, Harley Sawyer. By far the
33:35smartest and most applicable of any of
33:37the studied young geniuses program at
33:39children. Sure, he was super problematic
33:42in Playtime Co. years previously, but at
33:45this point, the company was desperate
33:48for any kind of knowledge that they
33:50could get. And so, Leith would end up
33:52inviting him back all these years later
33:55on January 15th of 1990. An invite that
33:59Harley was sure to not miss. Leading to
34:03him officially joining the factory's
34:05team. Harley was now back. When entering
34:09the factory, he was introduced to Poppy,
34:12the prototype, and of course, the red
34:15gel with the goal of recreating them.
34:17Now, first, starting with the gel, after
34:20researching it a bit, it was understood
34:22that this Poppy gel was a restorative
34:24mixture that encouraged cellular
34:27regeneration and tissue growth.
34:29Essentially, it was how Elliot was able
34:31to repair and regenerate the bodies he
34:34was experimenting on to give them life.
34:37Now, when Playtime Co. studied the
34:39medium with Harley, they were actually
34:41eventually able to recreate it out of
34:44their own poppy flowers. However, upon
34:46studying their medium, they learned that
34:49it had some harmful effects.
34:51Specifically, it would harm human beings
34:53that were exposed to it without
34:55protection, and when given organic
34:57material to feed off of, it would
34:59uncontrollably grow. So much so that
35:03when testing the red gel on plant life,
35:06it immediately grew uncontrollably and
35:09even developed massive fruits and
35:11vegetables that when consumed by lab
35:14rats would then grow and consume their
35:17internal organs from the inside out,
35:19proving that the gel was dangerously
35:22good at reproducing itself and needed to
35:24be controlled. So, along with the poppy
35:27gel, they also had to create a separate
35:30negation compound that essentially did
35:33the exact opposite and stopped
35:36biological growth. Next, Harley would
35:38study both the prototype and a poppy to
35:42figure out how they were created, taking
35:45specifically the more cooperative poppy
35:47apart and seeing what was inside.
35:50Eventually deciding that he was ready to
35:52attempt an experiment of his own.
35:55Except, there was a problem. These
35:57beings were not independent and had to
36:00be created from something already
36:02living. And as we saw from Elliot's
36:04research, smaller subjects wouldn't
36:06suffice and they need an actual human
36:08being. So, where would they find human
36:11test subjects to experiment on? Well,
36:14Leith and the Playtime Co. team was
36:17super desperate, so they needed to find
36:19something now. Both the prototype and
36:22poppy were made from children, so they
36:24specifically want to find a child test
36:27subject that also wouldn't alert anyone
36:30so they wouldn't get caught. Then just
36:32like Elliot, they realized they have an
36:35entire orphanage program built into the
36:38factory with dozens of children that had
36:41no parents and no records outside of the
36:44company. If they were to say go missing,
36:47nobody would notice exactly like what
36:50Elliot did all those years ago. So they
36:53began to select and take various
36:56children out of play care as if they had
36:58been {quote} adopted and gave them to
37:02Sawyer to begin experimenting on them.
37:04Where at first he was shockingly very
37:07unsuccessful. Continuing off Elliot's
37:10experiment numbers by experiment 1015,
37:14when transferring a child's mind to a
37:16toy, the best Harley could get was minor
37:20brain activity and that was all.
37:22Nonetheless, he stayed confident that
37:24this is normal writing. After all, we
37:27are dealing with a field so new it has
37:29no name, much less a clear path. By
37:32experiment 1026, Sawyer was finally able
37:35to build some kind of consciousness
37:37within the toys. Noting that this
37:39experiment was alive for a total of 45
37:42minutes. However, only three of those
37:44could be considered a conscious state.
37:46Upon first signs of awakening, 1026 sat
37:49upright as if startled by something.
37:52They stared blankly at the other end of
37:54the observation room. Of course,
37:56assisting staff members rushed in
37:58checking the equipment and asking them a
38:00variety of questions. 1026 answered none
38:03of them, but directed their gaze at
38:05whoever was talking and was even able to
38:08track a moving object, a staff member's
38:11index finger, when prompted. Subject
38:13then slowly laid back down and closed
38:16their eyes. After a few minutes, blood
38:18pressure began falling extremely rapidly
38:20and 1026 expired. Attempts to
38:23resuscitate were unsuccessful. After
38:26over a hundred more experiments trying
38:29the same thing, Harley continued to fail
38:32and eventually he started to hit a wall.
38:34No matter what he did, these tiny
38:36toy-sized experiments were far too
38:38difficult to recreate as attempting to
38:41stuff all these organs and bones and
38:44nerves into something as small as a toy
38:46was borderline impossible without
38:48absolute perfection. Something Elliot
38:50clearly had with the Poppy doll, but
38:53something Harley was far from
38:54uncovering. However, when taking a
38:56closer look at the interior of the Poppy
38:58doll through an x-ray, they noticed that
39:01the hand of the doll was almost
39:03one-for-one identical with the claw of
39:06the much larger prototype. This is when
39:08Harley realized that before trying to
39:11make things small and precise, he first
39:14needed to try working on something
39:16bigger. For instance, a giant toy. One
39:20that wouldn't need to be nearly as
39:22precise and could contain all of the
39:24proper human biology needed for them to
39:27live. The toy he decided to try this
39:30idea with was none other than Boxy Boo
39:34under the name experiment 1160.
39:37After working and developing the
39:40creation for a while, to his shock, it
39:43was a huge success. Boxy could move, he
39:47could respond, he was fully sentient. He
39:49could do almost everything that they had
39:52wanted. He wasn't absolutely perfect as
39:55Elliot's experiments were far more
39:57stable and were also totally immortal in
40:00the way that while Boxy Boo had to be
40:02fed and actively sustained like a human
40:05being, Elliot's experiments did not and
40:07realistically couldn't die. But,
40:10regardless, this was plenty of good
40:12enough. So, Harley now knew how to make
40:15the experiments. However, only being
40:17able to make a large toys instead of
40:20small ones, he needed a way to sell the
40:22idea of a big life-size experiments to
40:25the company so that they would keep
40:27funding his research into the future.
40:29Therefore, he came up with the idea of
40:32the bigger bodies initiative. An
40:35initiative where Harley would create
40:37these massive toys not to be played with
40:40or bought by children as products, but
40:43rather to work inside of the factory.
40:46This would solve a ton of issues for the
40:48company. Their revenue was down from the
40:51Playtime Co. scandals, and therefore
40:53things like lawsuits from them cutting
40:55corners became a big concern. However,
40:58if they replaced all of the employees
41:01with bigger bodies, they would save
41:03money because they wouldn't have to pay
41:05their salaries, and lawsuits from
41:07factory accidents were no longer a
41:10concern. It was a perfect idea that
41:13Leith and his quote-unquote money men
41:16loved. With Harley noting, "They will
41:18have their investments and see money
41:20saved, and I, Harley Sawyer, will be
41:23able to continue on with my work." Now,
41:26in order to better mass-produce and
41:29streamline the production of these toys,
41:31they both needed a place to work on
41:34them, as well as a place to test the
41:36children in Playcare to ensure they had
41:39the proper physical and mental abilities
41:41before being experimented on. So, they
41:43would end up renewing Elliot's old
41:45contract with Warren Bob Construction to
41:48build a future creations. And would
41:50start by having them develop a
41:52laboratory deep deep below the factory
41:55surface where it could never be found.
41:58They painted this to Warren Bob as if it
42:00was just an innovation and research lab
42:03with nothing fishy going on. Although,
42:05to ensure that nobody discovered this
42:07build, Eddie Ritterman, the head of
42:09research, offered the company at figures
42:12in hush money to ensure their silence.
42:14In this lab, they were given the ability
42:16not just to create more and more
42:18experiments as needed, but they also
42:21began to build little childlike rooms to
42:24place experiments in for observation.
42:26Along with developing what they called
42:29{quote} conditioning rooms, where they
42:32would hire the lead counselor of the
42:34area, Gracie Green, and have her play as
42:37a young child show host, Miss Gracie,
42:40where she'd attempt to brainwash the
42:42children into believing that they were
42:44and always have been toys, hoping to
42:47keep them calm when obviously waking up
42:49as these horrifying new bodies. In terms
42:52of mass producing of the poppy gel that
42:54was able to revive these things, down in
42:56the labs, they built an autonomous farm
42:58system that grew and harvested thousands
43:01of poppy flowers, allowing them to
43:03produce them in super high quantities
43:05and keep experimenting at all times.
43:07Furthermore, for testing the children,
43:10they also had them build the game
43:12station that on the surface appeared to
43:15just be a playground for the children to
43:17hang out at with three mini games
43:19inside: musical memory, a game of Simon,
43:23whack-a-woogie, a game of whack-a-mole,
43:25and statues, a game of red light, green
43:28light. However, in reality, they had set
43:31up observation rooms in all of these
43:33areas so that they could log and track
43:35the performance of the children, testing
43:38their memory, reflexes, and physical
43:40ability before considering them for
43:42experiments. To hopefully improve the
43:45scores further, after some more testing
43:48of Anthony's red smoke, it was revealed
43:51that despite its many negative side
43:53effects, it also produced some positive
43:55results in test subjects, like improved
43:58brain functions during sleep, increased
44:00memory retention, and better emotional
44:03processing of the day's events. So, in
44:06Playcare, they'd have Warren Bach
44:08install the gas production zone, which
44:11would mass-produce the smoke and pump it
44:13through some pipes in Home Sweet Home
44:15during the night to put the children to
44:18sleep, as well as make them better test
44:20subjects. This also had the bonus effect
44:23of preventing any more incidents like
44:25the Theodore Grambell one of children
44:27getting rowdy at night. Playtime Co.
44:29would also hire a ton of scientists to
44:32work on these experiments with the most
44:35notable ones being Impressive and
44:37Willard and Jessica Newman. Another
44:39employee they hired was the head of IT,
44:42Rowan Stoll, and finally they'd hire
44:44various warehouse workers like an angry
44:47man named Rich Lovett to handle storage.
44:50From here, more bigger bodies were
44:52created. For instance, there was
44:55Pianosaurus, Experiment 1163, who sadly
44:58was a pretty big failure as he was
45:01described as being extremely feral and
45:04was so mentally degraded from the
45:05experimentation that while he would
45:08attack and try to eat anything he saw,
45:11in his eyes he actually hallucinated the
45:13world as being bright and colorful and
45:15thought he was simply playing around.
45:17This basically made him useless. Then,
45:20in August of 1990, there was Experiment
45:231166, a bigger body of Yarnaby, who was
45:27created from a child, Quinn Navidson, a
45:30child who actually had a pretty bad
45:32performance in the game station at first
45:35before he was mentored by none other
45:37than Harley Sawyer, who had a sense that
45:40he wasn't trying his best. And so, when
45:43retesting, Quinn scored extremely poorly
45:46on musical memory, the mental test,
45:48while excelling in more physical tests
45:51like Whack-A-Wuggy and Statues, leading
45:53to them experimenting on him and
45:56creating Yarnaby, who was more
45:58successful than Pianosaurus, although
46:01not by that much. As while he was
46:04physically excellent just like his Game
46:06Station assessment suggested, he was
46:09also mentally underwhelming, not being
46:11able to do much independently, building
46:14extreme reliance on security staff to
46:16take care of him. If there was any good
46:19news from this experiment though, at
46:22least for Harley Sawyer, it was that he
46:25took advantage of Yarny B's easy
46:28attachment to others and would therefore
46:31isolate the being inside of a room that
46:33only Harley would ever visit, allowing
46:36him to essentially condition Yarny B
46:38independently to the point where he
46:40began to view Harley as almost god-like,
46:43something that he found pretty amusing.
46:45The first known actual improvement in
46:48the Bigger Bodies Initiative since Boxy
46:50Boo was actually a bigger body of Huggy
46:53Wuggy, Experiment 1170, who upon
46:57creation was seen as far more successful
47:00than any other experiment they had made,
47:03specifically because of his obedience
47:05paired with intelligence. This led to
47:08Playtime Co. designating him as the
47:11first known monster to take a real
47:13employee's role, being the Playtime Co.
47:17security guard, watching over the
47:19entrance to the factory so that no
47:21intruders would come sneaking in while
47:24also standing still as a statue so that
47:27he could be a tourist attraction for
47:29people that were visiting, leading to
47:31him being one of Playtime Co.'s biggest
47:34successes experiment-wise, at least that
47:36is at first. As with time, a trend they
47:39noticed with him is that when put under
47:42stress, he would throw these very large
47:45fits, especially during his conditioning
47:47when they tried to get him to complete
47:49various tasks, which stressed him out to
47:51the point that he attacked and tried
47:54killing the employees. So, to solve
47:57this, they would create a body of his
48:00female counterpart, Kissy Missy,
48:02experiment 1172 in late 1990, whose
48:06personality was very similar to Huggy,
48:09being quiet and obedient. She also liked
48:12to draw and write despite her hands
48:14making it hard to do so, which is pretty
48:16cute. But, essentially, they created her
48:19to be a friend for Huggy, given to him
48:22when he was feeling stressed out, which
48:24smoothed out most of his temperament
48:26issues nicely. Moving over into the game
48:29station, in order to automate the
48:31testing process, they would create three
48:33bigger bodies that would be the mascots
48:36of the three games. There was a Bunzo
48:38Bunny who was assigned to Musical
48:40Memory, the Mini Huggies who were
48:42assigned to Whack-A-Huggy, of course.
48:45Then, finally, there was PJ
48:46Pug-A-Pillar, experiment 1174, who would
48:50run Statues. All would play as the
48:52games' antagonist to add a bit more of a
48:55threat. Then, going over into Playcare,
48:58the employees there were also being
49:00slowly replaced with experiments. As
49:03first off, Playtime would release a doll
49:06of a teacher named Miss Delight, and
49:09would create eight identical bigger
49:11bodies of her to work as the schools'
49:13teachers. Wow, for the rest of Playcare,
49:16they had an even better plan. They
49:19decided to make use of the great idea
49:22that was the Smiling Critters by
49:25repurposing them as the mascots of
49:27Playcare, since down here none of the
49:29children were aware of any controversies
49:32that surrounded the line. And alongside
49:34that branding, they attempted to create
49:37bigger bodies of every single one of
49:39them to roam around the area. This
49:41wouldn't be particularly successful at
49:44first, since we saw with experiment
49:461186, Bobby Bearhug, that she couldn't
49:50speak like they had wanted her to and
49:53suffered from mobility issues. However,
49:55by experiment 1188, they decided they
49:58wanted to make a bigger body of none
50:01other than Catnap. Specifically with
50:04plans to attach a red gas apparatus to
50:07the monster itself, allowing it to emit
50:10the red sleeping smoke as it breathed.
50:12Planning to let the monster out in the
50:14playcare around night time so that way
50:17the children could be put to sleep by a
50:19character they knew and trusted. But
50:21before creating an experiment like this,
50:23they needed the perfect test subject.
50:26They looked around and listed a few
50:28different children as possible patients.
50:31However, one stood out above all of the
50:33others, Theodore Grambell. Theo, since
50:37being saved by the prototype, was on
50:40Playtime Co.'s radar not just because he
50:42had a lack of friends, making it much
50:45easier to remove him without anyone
50:46noticing, but also knowing he was easy
50:49to be manipulated and was a little bit
50:52of a troublemaker, they decided to
50:54eliminate all of that risk by turning
50:56him into the bigger body Catnap. Which,
50:59upon doing so, compared to Bobby
51:02Bearhug, was much more of a success
51:04physically as the experiment was able to
51:07walk and move unlike Bobby. And they
51:10even successfully got Catnap to speak by
51:13giving him a voice box. However, in
51:15experimentation, it did break and as a
51:18consequence, he had a deep scary voice.
51:20Although, that was far from his only
51:23problem because mentally, he had a whole
51:26new set of issues. For one, he almost
51:29immediately showed that he didn't like
51:31being experimented on one bit. As when
51:34trying to contain him for a little bit
51:36inside of the labs and study him before
51:39being implemented into playcare, he
51:41displayed extreme aggression and even
51:44found a way outside of his cell,
51:47attacking and killing six scientists
51:50working down there. This was all
51:52reported on by one otherwise meaningless
51:55scientist among all of the others,
51:57Preston Willard, who saw firsthand how
52:01aggressive Catnap and the experiments in
52:04general were becoming and begged the
52:06company to be safer with experimentation
52:09to ensure nothing like this could happen
52:11again. This moment wouldn't lead to
52:13anything catastrophic for now, but it
52:16quietly led to Preston being overwhelmed
52:19with guilt for what he was doing down
52:21here and how dangerous it was, which
52:24began to weigh on him over the coming
52:26years. Anyway though, Catnap would be
52:28calmed down after going through Miss
52:30Tracy's brainwashing tapes and his
52:32aggression was mostly ironed out
52:34following this, allowing him to be moved
52:37into Playcare mostly successfully. As
52:40well, the children at first found him to
52:42be a bit creepy, they warmed up to him
52:45over time and started to like him,
52:48allowing the scientists to both create
52:51the rest of the Smiling Critters and fix
52:53the previously failed ones to roam
52:55Playcare, also creating a little prison
52:58inside of the playhouse to store them
52:59safely at night. However, there still
53:02was one other issue with Catnap, being
53:05that whenever he was placed inside of a
53:08room with Experiment 1006, the
53:11prototype, he acted strange around him
53:14as he would follow the prototype around
53:17like a lost puppy despite 1006 not
53:21really seeming to show any emotion
53:23towards it. This worried Leith Pierre,
53:26who first pointed this stuff out since
53:28it displayed, like his child version,
53:30Catnap was highly impressionable,
53:33especially when it came to anything the
53:35prototype says or does, which could be a
53:38problem in the event he might have been
53:40told to do something violent. For now
53:42though, that was that. One other
53:45unrelated experiment they would
53:46eventually develop for Playcare was a
53:48bigger body of Chompe Chompekins, who
53:51they had created with the hope of using
53:54his mouth as a hiding pod for the
53:56children to relax inside of. This didn't
53:59work as the children were horrified when
54:01put inside, so he mostly was a failure,
54:04although not much is documented on the
54:06beast outside of that. Another
54:08interesting experiment around this point
54:10was experiment 1199,
54:12which was one of Playtime Co.'s many
54:14attempts at still trying to create a
54:16smaller toy-size experiments. However,
54:19this time to do this, they actually
54:21tried experimenting on an adult, Thomas
54:25Clark, because since starting with the
54:27factory, he ended up getting lung cancer
54:30and therefore actually volunteered to be
54:33experimented on, which sadly was as well
54:36a pretty unsuccessful as the brown toy
54:38could barely show any any signs of even
54:41being alive. And after trying to store
54:43him with some of the other experiments,
54:45they grew violent since they recognized
54:48that he was an employee and one of the
54:50ones responsible for turning them into
54:52experiments. So, they attacked him,
54:55forcing the employees to store him away
54:57all alone while also making it evident
55:00to them that over time the experiments
55:03were starting to get angry. Regardless
55:05though, they didn't really care, and
55:08another child Playtime Co. was
55:10interested in inside of Playcare was
55:12named Marie Payne, a girl that like some
55:16of the children outside of the factory
55:18responded especially badly to the red
55:21smoke, having intense nightmares at
55:23night where her skin went pale, her
55:26heart went crazy, and she was hot to the
55:28touch. This led to them wanting to
55:31experiment on her, but this time they
55:33had an interesting idea, being that they
55:36wanted to turn her into something
55:38completely new. A never-before-seen toy
55:42named Mommy Long Legs, a pink
55:45spider-like being. Testing out a new
55:47idea for what they called elastic
55:50plastic, a way to essentially make a toy
55:53a super, super stretchy. And as an
55:55experiment, this physically worked out
55:57super well as Mommy could actually talk
56:01by moving her lips and walk around like
56:04a full-blown spider. Even being able to
56:06use the new plastic technology to
56:08stretch out her hands super, super far.
56:11Now, like all of the other experiments,
56:13she did have some flaws of her own.
56:15Specifically around her relationship
56:18with the employees. Because with her
56:20once being a child in Playcare, she felt
56:23extreme rage towards the workers that
56:26made her this way. Kind of like the toys
56:28from the Bron experiments. However, she
56:31would actively go out of her way to
56:33attack them on site. At the same time
56:36though, ironically like a mother, Mommy
56:39loved and nurtured the children of
56:41Playcare when around them. Now, at first
56:44the employees tried to calm this temper
56:47of Mommy's by creating another
56:49experiment that was just a male version
56:51of her named Daddy Long Legs, like what
56:53they did with Huggy, but she ended up
56:55just killing him. So, that was
56:57unsuccessful. And instead, they decided
57:00the best way to make use out of this
57:02monster was to just move her over into
57:05station that was purely inhabited by the
57:07children and let her take care of them
57:10herself while the scientists simply
57:12observed from 20 yards away. Which led
57:15to her actually being quite successful
57:17as an experiment. So much of a success
57:20that when the company was trying to find
57:22a flagship toy to sell to the public
57:24using the elastic plastic technology, at
57:27first they had an idea for an orange
57:30stretchy robot toy of some kind, but it
57:33ended up just settling on selling an
57:35action figure of the Mommy Bigger Body,
57:38along with a Daddy and Baby Long Legs,
57:41which was a great idea and sold quite
57:43well. Now, at this point, the factory
57:45was bouncing back thanks to Harley
57:47Sawyer and the Bigger Bodies' success.
57:50Money was being saved and it felt like
57:52they might have finally made it past the
57:54public scandals from the end of the last
57:56decade. However, there quickly started
57:59to be a new problem they didn't
58:01consider, which was that only a small
58:04number of employees actually ever knew
58:07about the experimentation going on in
58:09the factory, and a growing fear was that
58:12an angry or unsuspecting employee could
58:15dig around the place when they weren't
58:16supposed to and find something they
58:19maybe shouldn't have. Now, their first
58:22encounters with dysfunctional employees
58:24mostly started small. For one, there was
58:27a somewhat unknown worker named Patty
58:30Hall, who in January of 1991
58:33intentionally sabotaged a paint machine
58:36seemingly just to mess with the company,
58:38leading to them sending her down to a
58:40place named Storage B to, quote, receive
58:43a further instructions, whatever that
58:44means. While one of the warehouse
58:47employees, Rich, was getting frustrated
58:50with the company's incompetence himself
58:52when having to sort through a bunch of
58:54the orphanage junk to find Huggy boxes,
58:57something they would catch him
58:58complaining about on a security camera
59:00before then demoting him to the rejected
59:02toys room to deal with all of the broken
59:05toys, which frustrated him even further
59:07and would lead to him hating the
59:09company. That would be until one day
59:12when he was working with the head of
59:14shipping, Stewart, where while going
59:16into Playcare, he opened up to Stewart
59:19about his anger towards the company and
59:22how upset he was with the state of
59:24specifically the Playtime orphanage,
59:26wishing the children inside would be
59:28able to go outside like for real and not
59:32in a dome. Stuart could see the good man
59:35in the otherwise temperamental Rich and
59:37decided to give him a chance. Stuart was
59:40near retirement, so he selected Rich to
59:44be his replacement as the head of
59:46shipping when finally retiring, giving
59:49Rich some hope that not everybody in
59:51this company was just bad people and
59:54finally making him happy. Now, with both
59:57of these dysfunctional employees
59:59seemingly dealt with positively, you
1:00:01would think the lower down employees
1:00:03would no longer be a problem. However,
1:00:05this was actually just the beginning as
1:00:08things would get a whole lot worse when
1:00:11on March 21st of 1991, Playtime Co.'s
1:00:14worst nightmare came true. In a report,
1:00:18the lower down employee, Marcus
1:00:19Brickley, claimed that he saw some kind
1:00:22of monster with a thousand legs,
1:00:25referencing the bigger body of PJ
1:00:27Pug-a-Pillar that he spotted out by the
1:00:30cafeteria. Somebody on the outside had
1:00:33seen a moving experiment. Now, Marcus
1:00:37was obviously extremely shaken up by the
1:00:39incident, although thankfully when
1:00:41bringing it up with Leith Pierre, he was
1:00:43kind of just told to F off and he
1:00:46listened. So, no harm, no foul there.
1:00:49However, just a week later on March
1:00:5230th, a much more resilient employee had
1:00:55something to say. Rowan Stoll. Rowan,
1:00:59who worked as the head of the IT
1:01:00department, feared some kind of security
1:01:03risk when watching the eyes of Huggy
1:01:05Wuggy that looked a bit off. His main
1:01:08concern was that somebody might have
1:01:10secretly installed some kind of camera
1:01:12system to spy on the company. So, he
1:01:15brought it up with Leith Pierre in a
1:01:17little VHS tape, thinking nothing too
1:01:20serious of it. However, after recording
1:01:22this, he kept investigating and
1:01:24discovered something horrifying. Huggy's
1:01:27eyes didn't look suspicious because they
1:01:29had cameras inside of them, but rather
1:01:32because the eyes were real organic eyes
1:01:35occupied by a real body inside of the
1:01:38statue. Once Rowan realized this, he
1:01:41knew he had to dig deeper, but also
1:01:43realized his horrible mistake with
1:01:45letting the company know he noticed the
1:01:48experiment. So, he quickly sent over a
1:01:50file of VHS tape pretending to retract
1:01:53his worries and move on with his life.
1:01:56However, this didn't work as Playtime
1:01:58Co. now saw him as a parasite inside of
1:02:01the company that needed to be removed
1:02:03before he discovered everything. Now,
1:02:06they couldn't just fire him or something
1:02:08like that because then he would speak
1:02:10out against the company and potentially
1:02:12expose them. Rather, they somehow would
1:02:15need to make him disappear. And they
1:02:17first tried this by taking away his
1:02:19pension to get under his skin before
1:02:22tampering with his car leading to one of
1:02:24his tires flying off the interstate
1:02:27hoping that he would die in a {quote}
1:02:29unquote accident that he miraculously
1:02:31would survive. Anyway, when this stuff
1:02:33didn't work, they had to think of
1:02:35something fast and quickly they turned
1:02:38to the first experiment they ever
1:02:40created, Boxy Boo. Boxy at this point
1:02:44didn't really have any specific use
1:02:46despite being one of the better success
1:02:48stories of the bigger bodies initiative
1:02:50and he was kind of just hanging out
1:02:52doing nothing. So, to address Rowan,
1:02:55Harley Sawyer thought to start tailoring
1:02:58Boxy's appetite specifically to human
1:03:01flesh and teach Boxy to crave it. While
1:03:05this conditioning was going on, Rowan
1:03:07was very aware at this point that
1:03:09Playtime was trying to kill him. So, he
1:03:12gathered as much information as he could
1:03:14about the experiments and the shady
1:03:16history of the company, uploading and
1:03:18releasing it all onto an FTP server
1:03:21during a security maintenance period.
1:03:23Writing and sending out a letter to his
1:03:26mother with an IP address, hoping to
1:03:28allow her to access all of the files
1:03:31remotely before they found them.
1:03:33However, after sending all of this out
1:03:35and making one final VHS tape explaining
1:03:38this entire story, Rowan found himself
1:03:41going down to a storage room where none
1:03:44other than Boxy Boo was waiting for him.
1:03:47He investigated the box, but before he
1:03:50could do anything, Boxy jumped out and
1:03:54ate him, finally killing him and getting
1:03:56Rowan out of the way. At the same time,
1:03:59Playtime sent a document posing as
1:04:02Rowan, announcing that they would be
1:04:04sweeping through their entire database
1:04:06to presumably find and delete all of the
1:04:08files he uploaded, eliminating that
1:04:11threat successfully. However,
1:04:12regardless, this fear of somebody
1:04:15finding out about what was going on down
1:04:17here started to become a bigger and
1:04:20bigger concern as Sawyer kept producing
1:04:22more and more of these toys. In fact, a
1:04:25year later in June of 1992, Huggy Wuggy,
1:04:29their golden child, broke free again
1:04:32despite fixing him like they thought.
1:04:34This time he actually escaped the
1:04:37factory and began to attack and eat
1:04:39everything in the nearby forest. This
1:04:42included animals and more tragically
1:04:44multiple workers that tried to subdue
1:04:47him. Fortunately, they were able to stop
1:04:49Huggy outside of a house by
1:04:51tranquilizing him, just barely
1:04:53preventing what would have been a
1:04:54company-ending disaster. But one thing
1:04:57was made clear by this incident. The
1:05:00more experiments the company created,
1:05:02the more they were risking their
1:05:03reputation, especially as the toys
1:05:06seemed to be getting more and more
1:05:08aggressive, something that would need to
1:05:11be addressed soon. And speaking of
1:05:13aggression, Harley began to notice these
1:05:16angry traits as well with none other
1:05:19than Oliver or the prototype, who while
1:05:22studying for the very first time would
1:05:25speak to him not using his real voice
1:05:28but rather mimicking the voices of all
1:05:31of the other employees around the
1:05:32factory where he asked Harley a simple
1:05:35question. I
1:05:37have a
1:05:39question.
1:05:41Go ahead.
1:05:42Do you
1:05:44feel anything?
1:05:46You stick us. Feed us. Pure flesh. DO
1:05:51YOU FEEL IT?
1:05:53HE asked if Harley could feel anything
1:05:57or if he had any kind of remorse for
1:05:59what he was doing to all of these
1:06:01innocent children he was using it for
1:06:03the sake of progress. Harley, obviously
1:06:05being the cynic he was, didn't really
1:06:08seem to care since after all it was
1:06:10progress at all costs, remember?
1:06:12However, this would only agitate the
1:06:14prototype further and he would begin to
1:06:17sabotage the employees in retaliation,
1:06:19attacking any worker that went near him
1:06:22including in one incident 1006, who had
1:06:26only become more and more intelligent
1:06:28over time, was able to turn the alarm
1:06:30clock in his observation room into a
1:06:33laser pointer and destroyed his camera
1:06:36literally just so that an employee would
1:06:38have to enter and fix it, which would
1:06:40give him an easy kill. This led to
1:06:43scientists wanting to destroy the beast
1:06:45especially with worries about how his
1:06:48intelligence and craftsmanship could
1:06:50affect them in the future, but his
1:06:52extreme intelligence rendered him
1:06:54valuable to Sawyer so he let him live
1:06:57although his anger and engineering
1:07:00skills aren't something to be forgotten,
1:07:02especially since he began to not just
1:07:05create things himself from other things,
1:07:08but he also began to add parts onto him,
1:07:11slowly making himself bigger and bigger
1:07:14over time. Although, I'll get back to
1:07:17this. From here towards the end of the
1:07:19year, things would honestly only get
1:07:21worse for the company because in
1:07:23Christmas of 1992, a child outside of
1:07:26the factory named Jack, who was a fan of
1:07:29Playtime Co., would get himself a Dewey
1:07:32the Doman action figure for Christmas
1:07:34along with an invitation to visit and
1:07:37tour the Playtime factory. The following
1:07:39year in 1993, Jack would end up going on
1:07:43his tour, but it was a complete
1:07:45disaster. As while in the section where
1:07:48the Dewey dough was produced, Jack got a
1:07:50bit too interested in the dough and
1:07:53accidentally fell over the observation
1:07:55railing he was watching from, causing
1:07:58him to fall into it and die. This had
1:08:01the potential to be the killing blow for
1:08:03Playtime because now there was a real
1:08:06child casualty outside of the factory
1:08:08with video footage of it as well. If the
1:08:11public found out about this, it could
1:08:13easily lead to an investigation, which
1:08:16would cause all their secrets to be
1:08:18discovered. So, quickly they needed to
1:08:20find some way to sweep this controversy
1:08:23under the rug, and that's when they had
1:08:26the perfect idea. What if they used the
1:08:29body of Jack to turn him into a bigger
1:08:32body of his favorite toy, Dewey the
1:08:35Doman, and save his life for the
1:08:37parents? Sound crazy? I know. But
1:08:40regardless, this is what they would end
1:08:42up doing. Granted, there was a little
1:08:44bit of a catch because in order to make
1:08:47this massive dough character into a
1:08:49bigger body, it would have to be 900
1:08:53total lb. So, to produce it, they would
1:08:56need to use three separate children and
1:09:00combine them to make the one body. They
1:09:02would begin the experiment named
1:09:05experiment 1322 with Jack, of course,
1:09:08who they label as 1322A.
1:09:11Then, they went into Playcare and
1:09:13studied various other children to become
1:09:15a part of this, settling on two others,
1:09:18Kevin Barnes 1322B
1:09:20and Matthew Hilliard 1322C. Kevin Barnes
1:09:24was a little bit of a worrying child
1:09:26because he struggled to get along with
1:09:28others and was both aggressive and
1:09:31confrontational, even being labeled a
1:09:34{quote} problem child. However, they
1:09:36chose him because he excelled in all of
1:09:39the Game Station's tests, and so he was
1:09:41valuable in the eyes of Dr. Sawyer.
1:09:43While to hopefully balance this out a
1:09:45bit, they also added Matthew Hilliard,
1:09:48who on the other hand was described as a
1:09:51dream child. He was known for being
1:09:54kind, considerate, and understanding.
1:09:57Not being nearly as intelligent as some
1:09:59of the other children, but he was also
1:10:01far more mature, being one of the oldest
1:10:04children in Playcare at 15. Anyway, now
1:10:07that they have their three test
1:10:08subjects, they would combine all of them
1:10:11before Jack's parents would file any
1:10:13kind of police report for whatever
1:10:14reason, and together they created Joey,
1:10:18who was mostly a success in terms of
1:10:21physically being able to move, walk, and
1:10:24talk, even being able to shapeshift
1:10:26because of his malleable dough body.
1:10:29However, there was a big issue with his
1:10:32brain, being that he would often
1:10:34randomly balance between acting like a
1:10:37young child with traits reminiscent of
1:10:39Jack, then he'd become aggressive like
1:10:42Kevin, and then he'd act more mature
1:10:44like Matthew. This chaoticness made his
1:10:47behavior a huge wildcard, but
1:10:50nonetheless, they had him created and
1:10:52would send out a letter to Jack's family
1:10:55inviting them over to the factory, and
1:10:57claiming they saved him. Upon the
1:11:00parents entering the room with, quote
1:11:02unquote, Jack, they realized he was
1:11:05turned into a living monstrous beast.
1:11:08The father was obviously horrified,
1:11:11while the mother tried to show
1:11:13compassion towards the monster, since
1:11:15after all, it technically was their son,
1:11:18right? Well, it didn't really matter,
1:11:21because obviously Playtime Co. didn't
1:11:23actually bring them here and show them
1:11:26one of their precious classified
1:11:27experiments for no reason. No, they
1:11:30wanted to silence the parents from
1:11:32speaking out against the accident they
1:11:34had witnessed. And now that they've seen
1:11:37a full-blown experiment, they couldn't
1:11:39escape alive. So, the scientists shut
1:11:43and locked the door behind the parents,
1:11:45and after interacting with Dewey for a
1:11:48little bit, he quickly flipped to his
1:11:50aggressive and angry personality,
1:11:53leading to him attacking and eventually
1:11:55killing both of his parents. Although,
1:11:58he did eventually snap out of it and saw
1:12:01what he did, causing him to burst into
1:12:03tears.
1:12:13Nonetheless, for Playtime, it was
1:12:15another close call. Although, it
1:12:17wouldn't take long for there to be
1:12:19another big problem in the factory. This
1:12:21time, surrounding Harley Sawyer. See,
1:12:24Harley was already growing controversial
1:12:26with the employees because his cynical
1:12:29attitude, which led to him being
1:12:31extremely rude and demanding, making
1:12:34strict remarks to workers that they were
1:12:36only, quote, one bad day away from
1:12:39catastrophe, even crashing out on
1:12:41employees for making a sandwich wrong.
1:12:43However, what he said in that letter was
1:12:46technically right. They were just one
1:12:48bad day away from everything falling
1:12:50apart. Because at this point, there were
1:12:53literally hundreds of experiments
1:12:55created in the factory, and Harley
1:12:57really didn't have a good place to put
1:12:59them. They had built that little prison
1:13:02inside of the playhouse to store the A
1:13:04smiling critters, along with the little
1:13:06observation pods in the labs, which all
1:13:08worked well. But as for the rest, they
1:13:11kind of just roamed around the factory,
1:13:13which was super risky because there
1:13:15would be incidents like the Marcus
1:13:16Brickley one, where PJ Pug-a-Pillar was
1:13:19just caught roaming around the factory
1:13:20during late hours. So, to solve this,
1:13:23Harley would look towards the Playtime
1:13:26Co. theater, where he came up with a
1:13:28good idea. The theater was used to play
1:13:31shows for tour guests with human beings
1:13:35playing as the toys. However, what if
1:13:38instead of using actors dressed up as
1:13:41monsters, they simply moved the unused
1:13:44experiments over into the backstage of
1:13:47the theater and use them to run the
1:13:49shows. Having people believe they were
1:13:52just super realistic, kind of like the
1:13:54Huggy statue, not knowing they were
1:13:56really living. This would both save them
1:13:59on having to hire actors since the
1:14:01bigger bodies were free, and this would
1:14:03give them a good place to hide them
1:14:06backstage. Since all they had to tell
1:14:08people was to not go backstage and spoil
1:14:12the magic. Nothing suspicious there. So,
1:14:15Harley would end up doing just this. And
1:14:17while it might have seemed like a good
1:14:19idea on paper, something he clearly
1:14:22didn't consider is what would happen if
1:14:25the experiments were to potentially
1:14:27throw any of their fits while
1:14:29performing. And well, soon he wouldn't
1:14:32have to wonder because at some point in
1:14:341993, during one of these theater
1:14:36performances, this very worry would
1:14:39happen as one or multiple of the
1:14:42experiments would go on a rampage,
1:14:44attacking and destroying the theater,
1:14:47catching it on fire in the process, and
1:14:50most devastatingly leaving 66 separate
1:14:53visitors to the factory dead, along with
1:14:56presumably many other guests witnessing
1:14:58the event and surviving. Following this
1:15:01incident, which they dubbed the theater
1:15:03incident, Jared Lockhart was assigned to
1:15:06investigate and find out what happened,
1:15:09while a group of resource extraction
1:15:11specialists were formed to go digging
1:15:13around and assess the damage. With 12 of
1:15:16them also dying in the aftermath.
1:15:19Anyway, after collecting evidence and
1:15:21digging through everything, one thing
1:15:23became immediately clear. That this was
1:15:26all the fault of Harley Sawyer and his
1:15:29negligence. And once the higher-ups got
1:15:32word from Jared that the blood was on
1:15:34Harley's hands, they realized that they
1:15:37could no longer let this man stick
1:15:39around. There were plenty of close calls
1:15:42before this, but now dozens upon dozens
1:15:46of people from the public were dead, and
1:15:49at best the factory's reputation was
1:15:51completely ruined. Now, I can only
1:15:54assume the factory wasn't completely
1:15:56shut down after this, because like I
1:15:58said, the bigger bodies were portrayed
1:16:00as being nothing more than actors. So,
1:16:03it could have been painted as a
1:16:04terrible, terrible accident. But still,
1:16:07outside of the devastating reputational
1:16:09damage this must have caused, it also
1:16:12gave Playtime Co. and its higher-ups two
1:16:15huge new problems they needed to solve
1:16:17right now. One, dealing with Harley
1:16:20Sawyer, and two, dealing with all of the
1:16:23experiments that caused this. They
1:16:25couldn't just put them back here,
1:16:28because then something like this would
1:16:29just happen again. So, what would they
1:16:32do? Well, first, regarding the rogue
1:16:34experiments, Playtime Co. decided to
1:16:36have Warren Bot Construction quickly
1:16:39build their very own dedicated prison. A
1:16:42place where they could put all of the
1:16:44misbehaving experiments while they were
1:16:46still being tested instead of just
1:16:48leaving them out. Now, Warren Bach for
1:16:51the first time, if you can believe it,
1:16:53was actually super against building this
1:16:56as they finally realized that none of
1:16:58these weird things Playtime Co. was
1:17:01making them build were actually for the
1:17:03fun of children and for factory
1:17:06research, but rather this prison was
1:17:08indicative that there was some shady
1:17:11stuff going on here and all of this
1:17:13stuff was meant for something crazy.
1:17:15Regardless, they didn't really have a
1:17:17choice to being contractually obligated
1:17:20to build the prison and so they obliged
1:17:23constructing it on July 12th of 1993
1:17:26along with the building a secondary labs
1:17:29right next to it where they can more
1:17:30easily test the prison subjects. Hiring
1:17:33out a warden to watch over the prison
1:17:35while also assigning the scientist Bruno
1:17:38White with running the secondary labs.
1:17:40As for Harley Sawyer, while they no
1:17:42longer wanted him around, they couldn't
1:17:45just kill him because after all, he knew
1:17:48how to create the experiments better
1:17:50than anyone alive. And while they had
1:17:52their issues with Harley and his
1:17:54initiative, they knew that they needed
1:17:56to keep crafting these experiments for
1:17:58Playtime Co. to keep turning a profit.
1:18:01So, going into 1994, they had come up
1:18:04with an idea to turn Harley into an
1:18:07experiment of his own under the name
1:18:09experiment 1354,
1:18:12the doctor. Planning to hook all of his
1:18:15vital body parts to Playtime Co.'s
1:18:17computer system right next to the
1:18:19secondary labs, allowing him to still
1:18:22live and talk. However, with no body, he
1:18:25wouldn't be able to disobey the factory.
1:18:27And from there, the relationship would
1:18:29be simple. The employees could go to
1:18:31Harley for advice on how to create the
1:18:33experiments and he'd have to answer or
1:18:36else they'd unplug him. They had planned
1:18:39to operate on Harley in April of 1994.
1:18:43However, before commencing the
1:18:44experiments, Harley had sent over one
1:18:47final letter to Leith Pierre with a
1:18:50breakthrough. Being that with there only
1:18:53being a limited number of orphans in
1:18:55Home Sweet Home to take from, running
1:18:57out of test subjects became a concern.
1:19:00However, Harley thought he had a
1:19:02solution for this problem as he was
1:19:04testing with neural mapping. Where
1:19:07basically, in short, he thought it might
1:19:09have been possible to map and recreate
1:19:11the mind of one single individual, and
1:19:14then use that individual's brain data
1:19:16for multiple different experiments,
1:19:18essentially solving their problem. He
1:19:21would even create this mapping machine
1:19:23inside of the labs to collect this data,
1:19:26and even revisit archived memories from
1:19:29other experiments. Now, while this
1:19:31technology had the potential to be
1:19:33revolutionary for Harley Sawyer, this
1:19:36gave scientist Bruno White an idea. To
1:19:39ensure nothing like a power outage or
1:19:41anything would accidentally kill Harley
1:19:44when he was turned into the computer
1:19:45system, they thought to revisit this
1:19:48neural mapping technology Harley was
1:19:50testing, and would actually use it
1:19:53against him, mapping his mind to create
1:19:56a digital backup while then finally
1:19:59experimenting on his real physical body
1:20:02to successfully turn him into his
1:20:04variant own experiments, hanging on to
1:20:07the backup just in case. Obviously,
1:20:09Harley Sawyer was not a fan of this and
1:20:12was extremely frustrated. From now on,
1:20:15you're here to give the lab boys answers
1:20:18when they need them, and carry out
1:20:20procedures when and how we tell you to.
1:20:23So, fight, or give in, or whatever,
1:20:27because either way, we own the
1:20:28infrastructure you're wired into. You'll
1:20:31pay for this,
1:20:34Leith. get my hands on you,
1:20:39you're dead man.
1:20:41But now the higher-ups had all that they
1:20:44wanted and Harley was reduced down to a
1:20:47computer with a graphic of an eye to
1:20:50represent himself. Alongside all of
1:20:52this, to ensure security in the factory
1:20:55further, the employees would develop the
1:20:58Omni Hand, a grab pack hand only given
1:21:01to Leaf Pierre, Stella Graeber, Eddie
1:21:03Ritterman, and the Warden, allowing them
1:21:07to open all of the company's most
1:21:09private areas, specifically down in the
1:21:11labs where their biggest secrets lie.
1:21:13Along with building a safe room that
1:21:15they called the Safe Haven that
1:21:18contained a separate, completely
1:21:20off-the-grid electrical system that
1:21:22could only be managed by the Omni Hand,
1:21:24meant to give them a little place to
1:21:26hide in case another bigger incident
1:21:29happened and they needed somewhere to go
1:21:31camp out. Now, with all this being said,
1:21:33there was a little bit of a sad
1:21:35consequence of removing Harley Sawyer
1:21:37from the factory, being that since the
1:21:40Yarnaby experiment I mentioned earlier
1:21:42had been manipulated to grow super
1:21:45attached to him. With Harley no longer
1:21:47in the picture, Yarnaby became severely
1:21:50depressed and essentially immobile
1:21:52without his pal. With the removal of his
1:21:55master, 1166 appears lost. Despite
1:21:59Sawyer's apathy, the subject formed an
1:22:01attachment of sorts. Without whatever
1:22:03sense of comfort or stability that
1:22:06brought him, his motivation has been
1:22:08sapped. [music] He sits, stares,
1:22:11listens, and only acts with aggression
1:22:13whenever I approach him. He truly just
1:22:16doesn't care anymore, said one of the
1:22:18scientists observing him. But moving on,
1:22:21around this time there would be all
1:22:22sorts of other toy lines and experiments
1:22:25created like the Wrong Side Out animals,
1:22:28a line of stuffed animals that were
1:22:30meant to be similar to the Smiling
1:22:32Critters. However, these toys' unique
1:22:34quirk was that they could be turned
1:22:36inside out to essentially create an
1:22:38entirely new plush. However, they
1:22:41weren't really liked by parents in focus
1:22:43groups as they thought turning toys
1:22:45inside out was morbid and satanic,
1:22:48leading to it never releasing. However,
1:22:50some other toys that were conceptualized
1:22:52and existed around the time would be
1:22:55ones like Gibblet, a heart-nosed fox,
1:22:58Lily Love Raines, a humanoid doll with
1:23:00long purple hair, Glooby, a toy pen that
1:23:03could write in invisible ink and then
1:23:05use the attached black light to
1:23:07illuminate the text, and Boogie Bot, who
1:23:10was just an interactable little robot
1:23:12dude. Some of which, like Gibblet, would
1:23:14be turned into bigger bodies, among many
1:23:16more. They were even able to eventually
1:23:19successfully produce smaller living toys
1:23:22like they originally wanted from the
1:23:24start. Although, there isn't much known
1:23:26about how they did this and what they
1:23:28did with these smaller experiments.
1:23:30Anyway, for a short period of time,
1:23:32things were at least a little bit
1:23:34peaceful. There weren't any notable
1:23:36crash outs or even really many notable
1:23:39experiments towards the later half of
1:23:411994, likely because down in the labs,
1:23:44at some point they would create a little
1:23:46facade they would call Sweet Street, a
1:23:49place that, when containing a toy
1:23:51inside, allowed them to more easily
1:23:54observe their behaviors in a natural
1:23:56environment and found that the area
1:23:58actually helped to maintain their
1:24:00temper. The only other real thing worth
1:24:02noting around this period was that,
1:24:05while expanding the factory more, the
1:24:07company attempted to pipe the red smoke
1:24:10from the gas production zone down deeper
1:24:12into the factory to places like the
1:24:15prison to make the experiments of that
1:24:17area fall asleep. However, something
1:24:20they didn't find out till after the fact
1:24:22was that the red smoke was actually
1:24:25extremely flammable and one accidental
1:24:28spark could set it all on fire. That's
1:24:30possibly why the theater ended up
1:24:32catching fire during the theater
1:24:34incident. So, down towards the prison,
1:24:37they began to store all sorts of liquid
1:24:39nitrogen canisters used to keep things
1:24:42cool and avoid sparking to prevent the
1:24:45factory from suddenly catching fire and
1:24:47blowing up. However, while this was all
1:24:49happening, something else was brewing.
1:24:52Specifically with none other than the
1:24:55prototype, who at this point had built
1:24:57his body up so much using leftover parts
1:25:01around the factory and adding them onto
1:25:03himself that he developed from just a
1:25:05small claw to a large intimidating
1:25:09jester. This definitely made him look a
1:25:12lot scarier. However, at the same time,
1:25:14he also seemed to have developed a soft
1:25:17side. Since eventually he and Poppy
1:25:20would end up acquiring a couple of
1:25:22Playtime phones that were connected to
1:25:25each other, allowing the prototype to
1:25:28talk to Poppy, the toy that he had
1:25:30wanted to meet all those years ago.
1:25:33Using the phone, despite the prototype
1:25:35building himself into this monstrous
1:25:37intimidating beast, to Poppy, he was
1:25:40finally able to lift the mask and just
1:25:43told her that his name was Oliver, or
1:25:46rather Ollie, as Elliot would call him,
1:25:49mimicking a child's voice to seem just
1:25:52like a friend. Poppy would cope with who
1:25:54she thought was just another child and
1:25:57not the prototype about the new state of
1:25:59the factory. She once saw it as this
1:26:02amazing place where everybody was and
1:26:05would be happy, but now it was in this
1:26:08diminished state. And furthermore, the
1:26:11years of employees continuing to take
1:26:13her apart to study her had driven her
1:26:16insane. At first it hurt, but by now she
1:26:20had lost the ability to even feel it.
1:26:23She once felt human, but now she felt
1:26:26nothing. Ollie would comfort her on the
1:26:29phone during these moments, and
1:26:31eventually she even began to grow
1:26:33attached to him, treating him like a
1:26:35friend during these dark times. However,
1:26:38this all only made the prototype angrier
1:26:41because now not only was he angry at the
1:26:44factory for taking his life away from
1:26:46him, but the one thing that he was
1:26:49sacrificed for in Poppy was being used
1:26:52and abused torturously. At this point,
1:26:55the prototype knew he needed to put an
1:26:57end to things and soon. So, when he
1:27:01could, he would interact with all of the
1:27:03other toys and try to get them on his
1:27:05side, using his extreme intelligence,
1:27:08especially with toys like Catnap, to
1:27:10convince them to try and stop things
1:27:13with force. Painting it as him saving
1:27:16them, as Catnap would describe it.
1:27:24This wouldn't work on all toys though,
1:27:27as eventually when word went around,
1:27:29Kissy Missy, who was originally seen as
1:27:32successful, started to have some severe
1:27:34problems. As after being transferred
1:27:37over to the prison to be investigated,
1:27:40they found that she was suffering from
1:27:42extreme anxiety and had {quote} an
1:27:45impending sense of doom. She would
1:27:47constantly rub her arms like something
1:27:49was bugging her, and the only way they
1:27:51could get her to calm down temporarily
1:27:53was to let her interact with the other
1:27:56toys. Eventually they somewhat solved
1:27:58this problem by sending her over to
1:28:00storage B, where she could work in a
1:28:02quieter, calmer setting, but that's all
1:28:04we really know. Regardless though, the
1:28:06prototype and his plan were going well.
1:28:09However, if you wanted to revolt against
1:28:11the employees, he knew that with him in
1:28:15all of the other toys being closely
1:28:17monitored and enclosed, it wouldn't just
1:28:20take convincing the monsters to help him
1:28:22end this, but he would also need help
1:28:25from an employee. And that's when he
1:28:27began to talk to Preston Willard.
1:28:30Preston, as I mentioned earlier, showed
1:28:32signs of guilt around experimentation
1:28:35while conditioning the Catnap toy unlike
1:28:38any of the other scientists for the most
1:28:40part. And this guilt would begin to
1:28:42weigh on him more and more over time. He
1:28:45even began to set up talks with one of
1:28:48the higher-up employees, Stella Grayber,
1:28:51who also had a heart for the children
1:28:53and wanted to save them to discuss some
1:28:56kind of solution. This all made Preston,
1:28:59specifically, the perfect target for the
1:29:01prototype. 1006 convinced Preston that
1:29:05he knew a way to stop the Bigger Bodies
1:29:07Initiative once and for all. And all
1:29:10Preston would have to do is just let him
1:29:13free. Preston, Stella, and the prototype
1:29:16would talk among each other for a while
1:29:18going into 1995, and eventually they had
1:29:22selected a date to finally end this
1:29:24initiative for good, August 8th of 1995
1:29:28at 11:00 a.m., calling it the hour of
1:29:33joy. Preston also would begin to write
1:29:35down as many notes as possible in his
1:29:38employee orientation notebook, logging
1:29:40out and setting the record straight
1:29:42about what actually happened in this
1:29:44factory in the event somebody found it
1:29:47in the future. So, the date was set. In
1:29:50the months leading up to this event, the
1:29:52employees could tell that something was
1:29:54off about the factory. Tensions felt
1:29:56higher, and they got a sense that this
1:29:59factory wouldn't last with the
1:30:01production of all of these experiments
1:30:02down here forever. And if Playtime Co.
1:30:05were to still exist for years to come,
1:30:08they would need to expand outside of
1:30:11this building. Both to help the company
1:30:13grow further, and also to get out of
1:30:16here in time before the worst could
1:30:18happen. This is when they would work on
1:30:20some brand new {quote} {unquote}
1:30:22projects outside of the factory. One
1:30:26named Project Broader Horizons, one in
1:30:28Japanese that translates to Project New
1:30:31Beginnings, and Project Garden World a
1:30:35Play Park. The first project there isn't
1:30:38much known about outside of that it was
1:30:40meant to take place in the US. While for
1:30:42the other two, Project Garden World a
1:30:45Play Park was supposed to be some kind
1:30:47of Playtime Co theme park similar to
1:30:51like Disney World. And the Japanese
1:30:53Project New Beginnings was apparently
1:30:56meant to be an entirely new factory that
1:30:59took place overseas. Which in particular
1:31:02was a good idea because it would allow
1:31:04the company to move to a country that
1:31:06was never familiar with any of Playtime
1:31:09Co's products and therefore
1:31:10controversies, giving them a fresh start
1:31:13and a way to continue experimentation
1:31:16outside of the limited confines of one
1:31:18location. The company needed to rush the
1:31:21stuff out the door fast before anything
1:31:23happened. So right away, they first
1:31:25began production of the Play Park, which
1:31:28fortunately it wouldn't take too long.
1:31:30While they also in July of 1995 prepared
1:31:34to send over everything that they would
1:31:36need to farm and produce poppy flowers
1:31:38and gel over to Japan to ensure they
1:31:41could continue experimentation overseas.
1:31:44While also being sure to remind
1:31:46everybody to not let Rich hear any word
1:31:49about this. And this is because moving
1:31:52into early August of 1995, the top level
1:31:55employees began to have an issue with
1:31:58none other than the new head of shipping
1:32:00I mentioned earlier in this video, Rich
1:32:03Leavitt. In the years since getting in
1:32:05this higher-up position, Rich's attitude
1:32:08heavily changed. He once was the grumpy,
1:32:11angry man who hated the factory, but
1:32:13since had grown into being much kinder
1:32:16and therefore loved by the other
1:32:19employees. They saw him as a ground-root
1:32:21story of somebody from the bottom
1:32:24finally rising to the top, and they
1:32:26would look to him as an inspiration.
1:32:29Furthermore, unlike the other higher-up
1:32:31employees who were super mysterious or
1:32:34arrogant, Rich was much more vocal,
1:32:37specifically when it came to the flaws
1:32:39of the company. He would talk and mentor
1:32:42younger workers in shipping and would
1:32:44blatantly call out the company for
1:32:46being, quote, far from angelic. He was a
1:32:50realist, and this made him likable by
1:32:52the lower-down employees, as I said, but
1:32:54this was something that the higher-ups
1:32:57would absolutely hate, as they now
1:32:59feared that a person of authority could
1:33:01lead the lower-down employees into
1:33:04suspicion around the company's morals,
1:33:06which could cause them to do worse at
1:33:08work. Or, even worse, the main fear was
1:33:11that they could potentially start
1:33:13sniffing around and would discover the
1:33:15experiments. They needed a way to
1:33:18silence Rich. At this point though,
1:33:21there wasn't much they could do. They
1:33:23couldn't make him disappear like Rowan
1:33:25or experiment on him like Harley,
1:33:27because at this point that would only
1:33:29turn him into a martyr and lead to all
1:33:32of the other employees getting even more
1:33:34suspicious of the factory. Fortunately
1:33:36though, in a phone call between Eddie
1:33:39and Leith, they had come up with a
1:33:41perfect idea to actually promote Rich
1:33:45even further from the head of shipping
1:33:47to one of the heads of the entire
1:33:49company up with them. Not because they
1:33:53actually liked or cared for Rich in any
1:33:55reasonable way, but rather they thought
1:33:58that if they treated him like an
1:34:00executive, then the lower down employees
1:34:02would think that he sold his soul and
1:34:04became one of the elites. It was a
1:34:07perfect plan and they were ready to give
1:34:09this an attempt. Although it would be up
1:34:11to Leith to do it alone since Eddie had
1:34:14to take a work trip from the 7th of
1:34:17August to the 12th to inspect the
1:34:19Playtime Park and see how it was going.
1:34:22Since at this point the park was about
1:34:24ready to open and they even began
1:34:26advertising it around the factory. So,
1:34:29Eddie would leave on August 7th, but the
1:34:32next day would mark August 8th, the hour
1:34:36of joy day. This day started mostly
1:34:40normal for the factory as if it were any
1:34:43regular day. The only notable thing
1:34:45going on here was that the scientist had
1:34:47planned to take Kissy Missy out of
1:34:49storage B and try transferring her over
1:34:52to Playcare to potentially interact with
1:34:54the children. However, while doing this,
1:34:57the clock would strike 11:00 a.m. And
1:35:01this was when Preston would finally free
1:35:04the prototype and all of the other
1:35:07experiments. Where to his shock, nearly
1:35:10every single one of them attacked any
1:35:13and all humans they could find. All of
1:35:16the employees, all of the visitors from
1:35:18the tours, even Thomas Clark was caught
1:35:21up with and killed. No human except for
1:35:23the Playcare orphans was spared. They
1:35:25even went out of their way up in the
1:35:27prison to take some of the security
1:35:30guards and lock them inside of their own
1:35:32prison cells just to be able to hear
1:35:34them suffer slowly while they died. This
1:35:37attack lasted for an entire hour and one
1:35:40of the most notable parts was when the
1:35:42warden of the prison was trying to make
1:35:44a run for an exit. He had actually ran
1:35:47past Harley Sawyer. Now, Harley who was
1:35:51connected to the entire Playtime Co.
1:35:53computer system, actually had offered
1:35:56the Warden a deal. He was in possession
1:35:59of the Omni Hand, which allowed the
1:36:01owner not just the ability to open any
1:36:04high-level door, like I mentioned, but
1:36:06also it had another feature, which was
1:36:09that it let the owner use the
1:36:11accompanying Omni chip to open doors
1:36:15remotely. So, quite simply, Harley
1:36:17offered to open up an exit for the
1:36:20Warden if he simply handed over the hand
1:36:23and chip. The Warden, in a panic,
1:36:26agreed. However, perhaps as expected,
1:36:28Harley didn't live up to the deal and
1:36:31didn't free the Warden, leading to him
1:36:33dying. But now, most importantly, this
1:36:36gave Harley the ability to control the
1:36:39entire factory. At least that is except
1:36:42for the Safe Haven, which wouldn't
1:36:45actually be inhabited by employees
1:36:47running from the hour, but rather it
1:36:50would be taken over by some of the toys.
1:36:53These include all sorts of smaller
1:36:55experiments not involved with the hour
1:36:57of joy, and even some larger ones like
1:37:00Joey the Doe Man. Now, they couldn't
1:37:02access the interior of the backup
1:37:04generator without the Omni Hand in case
1:37:07anything went wrong, but for now it was
1:37:10a safe place for them to hang out.
1:37:12Someone less lucky would be a second
1:37:15Kissy Missy experiment living in the
1:37:18prison named Riley, who was originally
1:37:21brought into Playcare less than a year
1:37:23ago in August of 1994 after losing her
1:37:27family in some kind of fire. When
1:37:29noticing in the orphanage that various
1:37:31members of Playcare were being, quote
1:37:34unquote, chosen under the assumption
1:37:36they were being adopted, she would be
1:37:38excited when one day she would be
1:37:41chosen. Although this excitement very
1:37:43quickly dissipated when, to her
1:37:45surprise, being chosen meant that she
1:37:49would be put under and experimented on,
1:37:52leading to them turning her into a Kissy
1:37:55Missy toy, living inside of one of the
1:37:58prison cells for examination. This
1:38:00mortified her, but fast forwarding to
1:38:02the present hour of joy, she finally was
1:38:05able to leave her cell and to her shock,
1:38:08she found that there were all sorts of
1:38:10dead bodies that looked just like her.
1:38:13Realizing over the next few hours that
1:38:16the factory had been completely
1:38:17destroyed and taken over, giving her no
1:38:20way out, she was left with no choice but
1:38:23to go out on her own terms. Stealing the
1:38:26key to the prison train station so
1:38:28nobody could ever return and hiding in
1:38:30her cell until she died of starvation.
1:38:33But now that the hour had happened and
1:38:35almost all of the employees were dead,
1:38:38the prototype had freed all the toys
1:38:40from their control. However, this was
1:38:43far from all that the prototype wanted
1:38:45because something he didn't exactly tell
1:38:48the toys initially was that he didn't
1:38:50kill all of the employees simply to let
1:38:53the toys free, but rather he wanted to
1:38:56take control of them himself. He would
1:38:59tell all of the toys that they wouldn't
1:39:01be allowed to leave the factory and
1:39:03would take all of the remaining orphans
1:39:05who were not targeted by the hour of joy
1:39:07and brought them down to the labs,
1:39:10containing them in what he called quote
1:39:12the better place, where he and the
1:39:15orphans would call home. Although I'll
1:39:17touch more on this place here in a
1:39:19moment. Back up above, as for all of the
1:39:21remaining bigger bodies, the prototype
1:39:24would gather everyone that he could find
1:39:26and force them to work under his rule or
1:39:29else. His first goal with gathering this
1:39:32group was to force them to go looking
1:39:34around for any surviving employees that
1:39:37might have been hiding out. The toys
1:39:39that are part of this group that we know
1:39:41include the experiment version of
1:39:43Giblet, Chum Chumpkins, Huggy Wuggy, one
1:39:47of the nightmare critter experiments,
1:39:48Baba Chops, Kissy Missy, and even all of
1:39:52the smiling critters bigger bodies. They
1:39:55would search around the labs finding as
1:39:57many bodies as they could before killing
1:40:00them. And while some of them believed
1:40:02that this was for the greater good and
1:40:04they were finally getting revenge on the
1:40:06employees that tortured them for so many
1:40:09years, there were some that a lot less
1:40:12and were clearly being forced to do this
1:40:14under threat of the prototype harming
1:40:16them. Giblet for instance couldn't bring
1:40:18himself to kill anybody. So he kind of
1:40:21just tied them up and that's all. Other
1:40:23toys like Kissy Missy and Hoppy
1:40:25Hopscotch would obey the prototypes
1:40:28orders temporarily, but would attempt
1:40:31and successfully escape his wrath
1:40:33finding refuge in the safe haven.
1:40:35However, nonetheless the cult kept
1:40:37searching for survivors and eventually
1:40:40they were attempting to find two
1:40:42scientists that were still missing. Dr.
1:40:45Preston Willard, the one that started
1:40:47the hour of joy, and Dr. Jessica Newman,
1:40:50one of his co-workers. They also would
1:40:53supposedly at one point or another link
1:40:56up with Marcus Brickley, although what
1:40:58happened to him isn't really ever
1:41:00mentioned. They had both been hiding out
1:41:02in the labs without ever being spotted
1:41:05outside of actually running into the
1:41:07Poppy Playtime doll who was roaming
1:41:09about a days after the incident on
1:41:12August 12th and unlike the others
1:41:14appeared far more traumatized and spared
1:41:17the scientists promising to not report
1:41:20them to anybody. However, she also said
1:41:22that there would be quote consequences
1:41:25if the prototype found out about what
1:41:27happened. So she simply just pretended
1:41:29she never saw them. Otherwise Poppy kept
1:41:32searching for refuge herself and as for
1:41:34the two scientists, they found a newer,
1:41:37more secure hiding spot. Where Jessica
1:41:40was originally optimistic that somebody
1:41:43would eventually be sent over soon to
1:41:45let them out. But over time, that hope
1:41:48started to wane more and more. And as
1:41:51for Preston, he quickly started to feel
1:41:54super guilty about what he did. As the
1:41:57days passed on, this guilt consumed him
1:42:00and he chose to come clean to Jessica
1:42:03that he was the one that that let the
1:42:05experiments out the whole time. Upon
1:42:08revealing this information, this sparked
1:42:10an explosive argument between the two
1:42:13and quickly, as they raised their voice,
1:42:16none other than Huggy Wuggy heard and
1:42:19found them. Breaking down their hiding
1:42:22spot and forcing them to run.
1:42:24Fortunately, both of them escaped at
1:42:27least from Huggy. However,
1:42:28unfortunately, Preston, while running,
1:42:31would end up bumping into Chompe
1:42:33Chompekins, who would take his body and
1:42:36bring him over to the prototype. As for
1:42:39Jessica though, after cooling off a
1:42:41little bit, she searched around the labs
1:42:43trying to meet back up with Preston
1:42:46since after all, it was her only friend
1:42:48down here. Eventually, she ended up
1:42:50finding an apology letter from him
1:42:52saying sorry for everything he did and
1:42:55had to do, along with his name tag,
1:42:57which he would place back on his desk.
1:42:59Regardless, she kept searching for
1:43:02Preston while seemingly being stalked by
1:43:05Catnap. [music] And eventually, when
1:43:07going down a flight of stairs, she was
1:43:09jumped by none other than the prototype,
1:43:13who had now attracted down and
1:43:15eventually stopped her. Taunting her a
1:43:18little bit before doing what he did to
1:43:20all of the other offending employees by
1:43:23killing her. As for Preston though, the
1:43:26prototype liked him enough at least to
1:43:28not kill him since after all, he was the
1:43:31one that let him out. So, instead, the
1:43:34prototype attempted to let him live in a
1:43:36mortal life and experimented on his
1:43:39body. And using all sorts of toy parts
1:43:42he found around the factory, he turned
1:43:44the Preston into this horrific primitive
1:43:47experiment reminiscent of the
1:43:49incognizant Thomas core toy from all
1:43:51those years back that was alive.
1:43:54Although clearly 1006 wasn't much of a
1:43:57pro at making experiments, at least yet.
1:44:00This isn't all for the remaining
1:44:01employees hiding around that the
1:44:03prototype wanted to find though, as he
1:44:05still hadn't been able to locate maybe
1:44:08his least favorite employee of them all,
1:44:10Gracie Green, the one that ran the Miss
1:44:14Gracie conditioning tapes. If there was
1:44:16anyone who did the most harm to the
1:44:18children in the factory, it had to be
1:44:21her, as she was literally in charge of
1:44:23brainwashing their delicate minds. After
1:44:26searching around for her for a little
1:44:28bit, eventually a bunch of the critters
1:44:30had found her hiding behind a barricaded
1:44:33door. She, unlike the others, was
1:44:35actually in contact with the outside
1:44:37world trying to get help from somebody
1:44:40named Todd. However, before long, the
1:44:43door was broken down and she was
1:44:46captured. Now, like Preston Willard, the
1:44:48prototype actually didn't want to kill
1:44:51her. However, unlike Preston, it was
1:44:53because he hated her so much that he
1:44:56wanted to torture her mind in the same
1:44:59way that she did to the children. So, he
1:45:01looked around and eventually found some
1:45:03experiment plans for a never created
1:45:06experiment that was meant to be a bigger
1:45:09body of Lily Love Brains. And following
1:45:12these guidelines, he turned Gracie into
1:45:16this very experiment. However, not only
1:45:19did he experiment on her, but he also
1:45:21had locked her away inside of one of her
1:45:24own conditioning rooms playing the Miss
1:45:27Gracie tapes on loop forcing her to be
1:45:30brainwashed by her own video. He
1:45:33provided her with food and drink so that
1:45:35way she wouldn't die purely because he
1:45:38wanted to see her go completely mad and
1:45:41that she did. Over the next 400 days she
1:45:46would begin to lose her identity as a
1:45:48human Gracie and would completely morph
1:45:52herself into having the bubbly and
1:45:54friendly personality of Lily Love Brains
1:45:57completely forgetting her past identity.
1:45:59After this for spatial reasons that
1:46:01aren't really ever clarified the
1:46:03prototype moved her out of the
1:46:05conditioning room but he definitely
1:46:07wasn't done with her. As he threw her
1:46:09inside of Sweet Street specifically
1:46:12inside of the house leaving her all
1:46:15alone where quickly she went completely
1:46:17mad. Since not remembering her old
1:46:20identity she became confused and
1:46:23frustrated with why nobody especially
1:46:25the prototype wanted to visit her. It
1:46:28led to her making her own fake friends
1:46:31and constantly living in fear that she
1:46:33was a quote-unquote bad toy and that's
1:46:37why she wasn't liked. But that's jumping
1:46:39ahead. One other employee who the
1:46:42prototype and his group actually
1:46:44couldn't find was none other than the
1:46:47head of shipping Rich Lavette who after
1:46:50his promotion had taken some time off
1:46:53away from work and therefore like Eddie
1:46:55Ritterman he missed the hour of joy. And
1:46:59upon hearing about the disappearance of
1:47:01all of his co-workers he was completely
1:47:04devastated as well as super curious as
1:47:08to what might have happened to them
1:47:10especially since he was already very
1:47:11suspicious of Playtime Co. Nonetheless
1:47:14though for now he would attempt to stay
1:47:17away from the place and keep it out of
1:47:18his thoughts. Going back to the
1:47:20prototype's cult, eventually 1006 went
1:47:24completely mad for power. As his
1:47:26greatest follower, Catnap began to truly
1:47:29treat him and his cult like it was a
1:47:32full-blown religion, building a shrine
1:47:34for him with candles and scratching
1:47:37words in the wall, everything. While at
1:47:40the same time, one of the critters who
1:47:42tried to go against the cult was the
1:47:44bigger body of Dog Day. He originally
1:47:47pretended to be on the prototype side.
1:47:50However, unlike the others, he ended up
1:47:52being caught as being a traitor and was
1:47:55therefore tortured for his disobedience
1:47:58by being strung up inside of the
1:48:00playhouse prison and was forced to sit
1:48:03there while hundreds of many critters
1:48:05crawled up and ate him alive.
1:48:07Presumably, along with any of the other
1:48:09critters that tried the same thing.
1:48:12Although, one experiment that was
1:48:14actually spared from the cult and its
1:48:15harsh ways was one of the Miss Delight
1:48:18dolls. Who, after the Hour of Joy, was
1:48:21mysteriously locked inside of the school
1:48:24with all of her sisters. And while at
1:48:26first she attempted to defend them by
1:48:28crafting a weapon out of rulers and
1:48:30pencils that she called a barb in the
1:48:32event that whoever locked them inside
1:48:34chose to show themselves. As time passed
1:48:37and they all began to get hungrier and
1:48:39hungrier, it didn't take long for them
1:48:42to single her out as their next
1:48:44potential meal. The only reason they
1:48:46didn't eat her was because due to lack
1:48:49of energy, she just played dead on the
1:48:51floor like she had already starved to
1:48:54death, so they left her alone. Although,
1:48:56at this point, all of this had driven
1:48:58her so insane that her face began to
1:49:01disintegrate down to flesh and she even
1:49:04began talking to her own weapon, Barb,
1:49:08who convinced her that if she wanted to
1:49:10live, she would have to kill her own
1:49:13sisters for food, which tragically she
1:49:17did, leading to her surviving but at the
1:49:20cost of all of her companions.
1:49:22Nonetheless, eventually the door finally
1:49:24opened and upon investigating, it turns
1:49:27out it was actually a catnap that closed
1:49:30in on her. Where despite her quite valid
1:49:33frustration with him, he offered her a
1:49:35deal. Protect [music] the school from
1:49:38any wandering employees and they'd let
1:49:41her live. This is also presumably what
1:49:43they did with other toys like Mommy Long
1:49:45Legs in higher parts of the factory who
1:49:48watched for any intruders in exchange
1:49:50for getting to survive outside of the
1:49:51cold. So now at this point, the
1:49:53prototype seemed like he had everything
1:49:56that he could have ever wanted. However,
1:49:58he was still missing one thing, Poppy.
1:50:03After successfully taking over the
1:50:04factory and most of its toys, he still
1:50:07heavily desired to reunite with Poppy,
1:50:10hoping to finally meet her after all of
1:50:13these years. So he searched for her for
1:50:16a while and even was able to track her
1:50:18using the phone. Since of course at this
1:50:21point she thought the prototype and
1:50:23Ollie were two different people. So
1:50:25while trying to avoid the prototype, she
1:50:27would talk to Ollie and reveal her
1:50:30location. Eventually he figured out that
1:50:32Poppy had actually made her way up with
1:50:34a lot of the other toys inside of Safe
1:50:37Haven. They would all hang out together
1:50:39for a while in here and try to make some
1:50:42kind of new life among the rubble.
1:50:44However, with the prototype's prized
1:50:47possession, the Poppy doll being inside
1:50:49of here, he and his cult would begin to
1:50:53attack the Safe Haven and its toys,
1:50:55trying to find their way inside to
1:50:57capture Poppy. The Safe Haven toys would
1:51:00fight back and eventually this build-up
1:51:03would lead to the start of the 1997
1:51:07toy war where both sides, the
1:51:10prototype's new rule and Poppy's
1:51:12rebellion would violently fight against
1:51:15each other for control. Now, honestly,
1:51:17very little is known about the specifics
1:51:20of this war or what exactly happened
1:51:22during it, but what we do know is that
1:51:25it quickly started to weigh heavily on
1:51:27one member of Safe Haven, Poppy. [music]
1:51:30Poppy was quick to panic under stress.
1:51:33So, after listening to the constant
1:51:36battling happening around Safe Haven,
1:51:38she was so freaked out that she decided
1:51:40she needed an escape. [music] And one
1:51:43day would end up leaving the Safe Haven
1:51:45to go inside of the one place where she
1:51:48felt safe, her old room by Elliot's
1:51:51office. She would stay here for a little
1:51:54bit, but again using the phone, it
1:51:56wouldn't take long for the Prototype to
1:51:59find her inside. Now, you'd expect 1006
1:52:03to want to kill her for being a part of
1:52:06this rebellion. However, he actually
1:52:08chose to speak with her.
1:52:12Here you are,
1:52:14hiding in your room.
1:52:16Running away. Stop them. Rebellion you
1:52:20>> [music]
1:52:20>> started. She begged him to stop all of
1:52:23this and to let the orphans go, pleading
1:52:25with him that killing her wouldn't stop
1:52:28the war and that nobody needed to die
1:52:30for either of them. But the Prototype
1:52:33didn't want to kill her. In fact, he saw
1:52:36her as extremely valuable. They were the
1:52:39original two experiments created by
1:52:42Elliot and were absolutely perfect and
1:52:45therefore immortal experiments that
1:52:48wouldn't age away like the rest of the
1:52:49factory over time and lack of resources.
1:52:53So, he didn't want her dead, but rather
1:52:56wanted her to join him in his better
1:52:59place. He revealed to her that he
1:53:01couldn't let the orphans go because
1:53:03without them they'd be left all alone in
1:53:06this factory for a miserable infinite
1:53:08experience. But clearly, according to
1:53:11the prototype, Poppy didn't understand
1:53:13how painful loneliness was. So, to show
1:53:17her an example, the prototype would take
1:53:20her and would lock her inside of a case
1:53:23up in her room where nobody would see
1:53:25her, visit her, or interact with her.
1:53:29There's only
1:53:30one way to make you see this.
1:53:33NO!
1:53:34NO!
1:53:35PROTOTYPE, PLEASE!
1:53:39PLEASE, PROTOTYPE!
1:53:43PAINTING AN ENTIRE red poppy flower
1:53:46mural with all sorts of messages telling
1:53:48anybody that could have encountered it
1:53:50to turn around, hoping to show her how
1:53:53dark loneliness can truly be. Now, at
1:53:56this point, it seemed like the prototype
1:53:58truly had everything he ever could have
1:54:00wanted. He had ruled at least most of
1:54:02the factory and was borderline its god,
1:54:05and both Poppy and the orphans were
1:54:07secured for his immortal future.
1:54:09Although during this, something that the
1:54:11prototype was well aware of was that
1:54:14while him and Poppy could ideally live
1:54:17forever together, the orphans he wanted
1:54:20to keep them company could not. They
1:54:22were human beings, and therefore if he
1:54:25wanted to keep them around here with
1:54:26them, he would have to figure out how to
1:54:29create perfect immortality himself like
1:54:32what Elliot once did and experiment on
1:54:35the orphans. However, evidently, he was
1:54:38no professional when it came to
1:54:39experimentation at this point, having to
1:54:42follow the guides of the scientist to
1:54:44produce a Lily Love Braid and having a
1:54:46lot less success when trying on his own
1:54:49with Preston. But up at the prison, he
1:54:51knew Harley Sawyer was still living
1:54:54among the Playtime computer system, the
1:54:56man with more knowledge about the
1:54:58experiments than anyone alive. So, he
1:55:01would go up there and use Harley in the
1:55:04same way he was used back when the
1:55:06factory was open. The prototype
1:55:08consulted Harley for advice on how to
1:55:10make the experiments under threat of
1:55:13destroying him. Harley would comply and
1:55:16slowly the prototype would begin
1:55:18experimenting himself, attempting to
1:55:21create immortality of his own using the
1:55:24remaining orphans as test subjects. He,
1:55:27like the scientist, would document these
1:55:30experiments under his own number system.
1:55:33And by experiment number four, he wasn't
1:55:36very successful. As he originally tried
1:55:39reviving them using the poppy gel
1:55:41independently without the negation
1:55:43formula to stop it, which led to the
1:55:46experiment overgrowing, causing the
1:55:48stitching to unravel and the entire
1:55:51being's body spilling onto the table as
1:55:53it breathed. By experiment number eight,
1:55:56he attempted to fully submerge the
1:55:58experiments in the poppy gel, making the
1:56:00body easier to mold. By experiment 15,
1:56:03he was finally able to create a fully
1:56:06moving and living experiment. However,
1:56:09upon applying the negation formula to
1:56:12stop the poppy gel's growth, he
1:56:14accidentally over applied it and
1:56:16therefore dissolved all of the muscle,
1:56:18bone, and growth medium. By experiment
1:56:2128, he had seemingly found a good
1:56:24balance between the gel and the negation
1:56:26formula, creating a fully conscious
1:56:29being that could talk. He identified
1:56:31himself as her giver and identified her
1:56:35as a girl named Gabby. Although sadly
1:56:38after that, she would die. By experiment
1:56:4134, he finally produced a fully
1:56:43independent, living, breathing, walking,
1:56:46and talking experiment. Despite this, he
1:56:49still considered himself far from the
1:56:51goal of infinite life and it's presumed
1:56:53after this, he would continue
1:56:55experimenting and perfecting these
1:56:57things to try and make them more like
1:57:00himself. Plus, while it's not very well
1:57:03documented, at some point around this
1:57:05time, the prototype would also begin
1:57:07experimenting on already living toys,
1:57:10specifically problematic toys that he
1:57:13wanted to punish by taking their bodies
1:57:16and then turning them inside out to
1:57:19hopefully teach them a lesson about
1:57:21going against the prototype's rule,
1:57:23turning them into these morbid,
1:57:25disturbing denizens. One of the victims
1:57:28of which even being the bigger body of
1:57:31Giblet, possibly because behind the
1:57:33scenes, Giblet would secretly join the
1:57:36fight against the prototype alongside
1:57:38the bigger body Chum Chompkins and would
1:57:41befriend the people of Safe Haven like
1:57:43Dewey to presumably help them. These
1:57:45denizens that he called Outamols,
1:57:48inspired by the wrong side animals,
1:57:50would live down below the factory in
1:57:53anarchy. And interestingly, they would
1:57:55sustain themselves by feeding large
1:57:58amounts of food to this bigger body Bron
1:58:01that would half digest the food into
1:58:03slop that they could eat from a hole in
1:58:06his stomach. So, pretty weird.
1:58:11Life was horrifying in the factory going
1:58:13into the 2000s. The Safe Haven
1:58:16inhabitants were terrified about Poppy's
1:58:18disappearance and would draw on the
1:58:20walls begging for her to come back along
1:58:23with painting murals documenting the war
1:58:25that went on around them. Eventually, to
1:58:27try and help out during these trying
1:58:29times, they would start running
1:58:31expeditions outside of Safe Haven where
1:58:34they would attempt to bring supplies up
1:58:36to Playcare to help sustain some of
1:58:38their allies like Dogday. However, these
1:58:41were pretty risky and in one expedition
1:58:44from February 9th of 2001, a bunch of
1:58:47toys including Hoppy Hopscotch got
1:58:50jumped by the outside creatures. And
1:58:53eventually, in one of these expeditions,
1:58:55Hoppy suffered an injury bad enough that
1:58:57it caused her to tragically pass away.
1:59:00As for the Safe Haven's leader, Joey,
1:59:02while he was by far the most powerful
1:59:05and had no problems physically,
1:59:07mentally, he struggled quite a bit as
1:59:10he'd randomly, mysteriously leave Safe
1:59:13Haven and travel all the way to the top
1:59:16of the factory just to look at the exits
1:59:19and imagine all the possibilities. He
1:59:21knew he could make it out alive if he
1:59:23truly wanted to, but he also knew he'd
1:59:25be abandoning the friends at Safe Haven
1:59:28that saw him as a leader. Fortunately
1:59:30for them though, Joey would always come
1:59:32back down and stick with them through
1:59:34thick and thin. Over on the side of the
1:59:36prototype, while working with Harley
1:59:38Sawyer, he would end up accidentally
1:59:41uncovering the backup to the doctor's
1:59:43mind that was archived by Playtime Co.
1:59:46Now, as cool as this was, the prototype
1:59:49actually found this as being a pretty
1:59:51dangerous because with it containing the
1:59:53intelligent mind of Harley Sawyer, that
1:59:56means that if somebody found it, they
1:59:58could have used it to figure out how to
2:00:00create these experiments themselves and
2:00:02more specifically how to create things
2:00:04like the negation compound that, as we
2:00:07saw in his past experiments, would
2:00:09degrade all biological matter it touched
2:00:12including that of already living beings,
2:00:15which would give him a huge weakness if
2:00:17somebody were to discover it. At the
2:00:19same time though, he didn't want to
2:00:21destroy the backup because it was far
2:00:23too valuable of information to just get
2:00:25rid of. So, he would store it all the
2:00:27way down in the Playtime Co. data center
2:00:29by the labs where hopefully nobody that
2:00:32wanted to harm him would find it. Moving
2:00:35forward a bit, by 2003, the only real
2:00:38notable thing to have happened was
2:00:40rumors started to circulate that after
2:00:43the Hour of Joy, 23 different toys
2:00:46called the Joyless led by a toy named
2:00:49Gentle John, had apparently found their
2:00:52way up and out of the factory, escaping
2:00:56the Prototype's cult. He obviously
2:00:58didn't like this and didn't want any
2:01:00other toys to get the same idea. So, he
2:01:03would go around the factory
2:01:05interrogating any toys that knew about
2:01:07this incident and to silence them, he
2:01:10would kill them. While at the same time,
2:01:12the members of the Prototype's cult
2:01:15would create a newsletter called A
2:01:18Better Press, where the Prototype would
2:01:20have them release all sorts of
2:01:22propaganda. For instance, he had them
2:01:24make up a story that the rumored
2:01:26escapees were found dead in a fire in
2:01:29the Innovation Wing, while also saying
2:01:32that his enemies in Safe Haven were
2:01:34supposedly starting to eat each other,
2:01:37hoping to keep anybody from joining
2:01:39their side. Now, otherwise, the
2:01:42Prototype's plans continued to go well
2:01:44and going into 2004, it seemed like he
2:01:47was on the verge of winning the toy war
2:01:49against the Safe Haven. As the room was
2:01:52having some problems with the generator,
2:01:54which began to malfunction. Now, this
2:01:57normally wouldn't be a big problem
2:01:59because Dewey was able to easily collect
2:02:01all the parts he needed to fix that.
2:02:03However, to access the generator, the
2:02:06Omni Hand was required with the only
2:02:08known one still in existence owned by
2:02:11Harley Sawyer, who at this point, while
2:02:14it's not known how, had developed
2:02:16hundreds of robotic minions of his own
2:02:19to live up in the domain that he could
2:02:21transfer his mind onto, making him a
2:02:23very powerful source. Or in other words,
2:02:26they had no real way to access it
2:02:28without risking death. In December of
2:02:302004, they even began trying to find new
2:02:34places to hide to desperately find an
2:02:36out from the Prototype, and although the
2:02:39ally Giblets would suggest that they
2:02:41come down to the recycling area in the
2:02:44labs where he was stationed. They
2:02:46wouldn't end up doing so and by 2005
2:02:50things had reached the end of the line.
2:02:53The enemy toys had completely surrounded
2:02:55the safe haven and while the members
2:02:57would attempt to place traps to stop
2:03:00them, the prototype had figured out how
2:03:02to get past all of them and would
2:03:04menacingly wait outside of their door
2:03:07tapping on it. With the reality that
2:03:09safe haven was on the ropes and could be
2:03:11breached at any moment, one of the
2:03:14inhabitants had a crazy idea, Kissy
2:03:17Missy. She had known about the employee
2:03:20Rich who survived the hour of joy and
2:03:23was out there somewhere giving her the
2:03:26idea to call for him for help. So, Kissy
2:03:30using her primitive drawing skills wrote
2:03:32a little letter and exited the safe
2:03:35haven to go outside and send it. Hoping
2:03:39that Rich would respond. Going outside
2:03:41of the factory to Rich's residence,
2:03:44since the hour of joy he just wanted to
2:03:47forget about the factory. He had no idea
2:03:49where any of his co-workers had gone nor
2:03:52did he think he'd ever see them again
2:03:54and the survivor's guilt of being one of
2:03:56the only people to make it out alive
2:03:59weighed on him heavily and there was
2:04:01nothing he could do about it. That was
2:04:04until he got a package at his door
2:04:08featuring a VHS tape for the Poppy
2:04:10Playtime doll and a letter that said
2:04:13there were still co-workers alive in the
2:04:16factory directing him to the flower
2:04:19mural by Poppy's room. Getting this
2:04:21letter meant everything to Rich because
2:04:24it meant he could finally get some
2:04:26answers to what happened to the factory
2:04:28and the employees. Maybe some were alive
2:04:31like the letter suggested. Either way,
2:04:33out of both curiosity and guilt, Rich
2:04:36would make his way 10 years later to the
2:04:39Playtime factory to explore and see what
2:04:43he found inside. Starting at the plot of
2:04:46the main game where Rich is the player
2:04:49who for now I'll just refer to as us.
2:04:52Upon entering the factory, at first
2:04:54everything looked exactly how we
2:04:56expected it to. Everything was
2:04:59abandoned, broken toys lied everywhere,
2:05:02and it was extremely silent. However,
2:05:05when grabbing a grab pack and entering
2:05:07the lobby, we saw none other than Huggy
2:05:11Wuggy. We tried to ignore the statue,
2:05:14but eventually it completely disappeared
2:05:16and we realized it was one of the
2:05:18experiments that still lived. From here
2:05:22on our journey, we saw the experiment
2:05:24sneaking around like it was trying to
2:05:26hunt us. And after moving throughout the
2:05:28factory some more, we eventually made it
2:05:32to the make-a-friend machine. Collecting
2:05:34a Catbee plush to enter the next room.
2:05:37But this is when Huggy finally pounced
2:05:40on us, chasing us into the nearest vent.
2:05:44After running from the beast for a
2:05:45little bit, we ended up nearly making it
2:05:47out and dropped a box on Huggy, dropping
2:05:50him down the catwalk area to his
2:05:53presumed death. Which conveniently
2:05:55landed us right next to the flower room
2:05:58we were sent here to find. We approached
2:06:01and entered the mysterious room to find
2:06:04that the entire place was themed like a
2:06:07house. As strange as this was, we
2:06:09continued down and at the end were some
2:06:12wooden doors that when opening revealed
2:06:16none other than Poppy locked inside of a
2:06:20case. Naturally, we finally opened the
2:06:23door and after multiple years of being
2:06:25stuck, Poppy was free. After waking up
2:06:29from a sleep caused by all of the Poppy
2:06:32scents that built up in that case. We
2:06:34exited the room and entered Elliot
2:06:37Ludwig's office. After exploring around
2:06:39a bit, we finally met back up with
2:06:42Poppy, who seemed super optimistic and
2:06:45had a mission for us to complete, which
2:06:48was to go down to the game station and
2:06:50activate the train to find an escape. We
2:06:53mindlessly obliged. However, what Poppy
2:06:56didn't tell us was that the game station
2:06:59was still inhabited by Mommy Long Legs,
2:07:02who before Poppy could even finish
2:07:04talking to us, stole her and forced us
2:07:07to go and try to save her. Upon
2:07:09confronting Mommy, she knew that we
2:07:11wanted the train code, but before giving
2:07:14it to us, she wanted to get revenge. We
2:07:17were a former employee, so before
2:07:19getting the code, she forced us to play
2:07:22through the game station games
2:07:24ourselves, giving us little parts of the
2:07:26code for each game we beat. So, that's
2:07:29exactly what we did. We went through
2:07:31musical memory and whack-a-waggy without
2:07:34being attacked by the now hungry and
2:07:36vicious toys who occupied the area.
2:07:39Although, after surviving the first two
2:07:41mini games, Mommy kind of raged out a
2:07:43bit and actually killed Bunzo Bunny and
2:07:46the Wuggies. After completing those two
2:07:49mini games though, we found ourselves
2:07:51stuck behind a gate that we couldn't
2:07:54open from the outside. This was when
2:07:57none other than Kissy Missy was waiting
2:08:01for us, where she came up and opened the
2:08:03gate, allowing us to pass through. From
2:08:06here, we then made it to the final game,
2:08:10statues, that after making it to the end
2:08:13of, we saw was completely blocked off,
2:08:16revealing that Mommy never actually
2:08:19intended for us to survive this
2:08:20challenge. Regardless, there was a
2:08:22grapple we could use to launch ourselves
2:08:25into the observation room, which
2:08:27thankfully it meant we survived. But
2:08:29Tamami, she considered that cheating.
2:08:33So, she refused to give us the final
2:08:35piece of the train combo and instead
2:08:38attacked us, chasing us all around the
2:08:40factory until eventually she
2:08:42accidentally got herself caught up in a
2:08:44grinder, which we activated, killing
2:08:47her. But not before none other than the
2:08:51prototype made his first appearance,
2:08:53reaching out and grabbing her body to
2:08:56eventually add onto his own. Anyway, we
2:08:59continued moving and found the final
2:09:01part of the train code along with
2:09:03rescuing the Poppy doll, allowing us to
2:09:06finally be done and escape, [music]
2:09:08right? Well, not exactly. What Poppy
2:09:11didn't specifically say about all of
2:09:13this is that she had much bigger plans
2:09:16with us when finally getting on the
2:09:18train. So, instead of helping us escape
2:09:20like we thought, she ended up changing
2:09:23the directions to none other than
2:09:25Playcare. Eventually, for better or
2:09:28worse, the train ended up crashing,
2:09:30which knocked us out. And while Poppy
2:09:33would end up running away before
2:09:35anything happened, this is when
2:09:37Playcare's main inhabitant, Catnap,
2:09:40would find us. To quickly dispose of us,
2:09:42he would dump us inside of Playtime
2:09:45Co.'s garbage disposal room. But
2:09:47thankfully, we ended up waking up just
2:09:49in time and were able to escape this
2:09:51area before it closed in. After
2:09:53exploring the new area we were dropped
2:09:55into a little bit, we found a phone that
2:09:59on the line had none other than Poppy's
2:10:02quote-unquote friend, Ollie. Not knowing
2:10:05Ollie was actually just the prototype,
2:10:07we listened to him as a guide and made
2:10:10our way into Playcare. When entering, we
2:10:13listened to a little speech from Elliot
2:10:15about how much he cared about making
2:10:17people happy before inventing the
2:10:19Playcare. And then Ollie finally
2:10:22informed us why we were there, which was
2:10:24to make our way to the gas production
2:10:27zone where the red smoke was being
2:10:29created and redirect the gas down to the
2:10:32prison. However, when doing this, the
2:10:34power went out, and it was our job to go
2:10:38inside Playcare's various different
2:10:40buildings and activate their backup
2:10:42generators. We aren't told exactly why
2:10:44we needed to do any of this, but once
2:10:47again, we oblige and make our way into
2:10:50the first building, at Home Sweet Home,
2:10:51where the children slept. First, we are
2:10:54met with a ton of red smoke that we walk
2:10:56through, which causes us to fall into a
2:10:59nightmare of our own. Where, after
2:11:02walking through these long, deep
2:11:04hallways, we see writings on the floor
2:11:07that displayed we were feeling really
2:11:09guilty about our involvement with the
2:11:12factory. On radios lying around the
2:11:14area, we hear about the news report of
2:11:17the body of Oliver found in Elliot's
2:11:20home. Tragic news this morning as of
2:11:239:45 a.m., local authorities report that
2:11:25the body of a young boy has been found
2:11:28on the estate of the late Elliot Ludwig.
2:11:30We even get to revisit our old desk from
2:11:33when the factory was still open.
2:11:36Nonetheless, we push further in this
2:11:37dream and eventually find ourselves
2:11:40stuck inside of a lab room, the place
2:11:43Playtime Co. would work on these
2:11:45experiments. Where, for a role reversal,
2:11:48an evil Huggy comes out of the TV and we
2:11:51become the victims. As he corners us and
2:11:54eats us, finally ending the dream. Once
2:11:57we woke up, though, we continued our
2:11:59journey. Quickly, we saw that like
2:12:02Huggy, Catnap was lurking around hunting
2:12:04us, but didn't strike yet. Regardless,
2:12:07we successfully powered on the Home
2:12:09Sweet Home generator and made our way
2:12:11out. When stepping outside, we are
2:12:14ambushed by none other than Kissy Missy,
2:12:16who had met back up with Poppy and
2:12:19attacked us out of pure fear after the
2:12:21hour of joy that clearly traumatized
2:12:23her. Anyway, with Poppy now back with
2:12:26us, she explained to us that the reason
2:12:28she dragged us down here in general was
2:12:31to defeat the prototype once and for
2:12:33all. Since after all, they were the one
2:12:35keeping all of the toys down here and
2:12:38the one that needed to be killed to stop
2:12:40the war. Hearing this, we make our way
2:12:42into the Playcare school to power on the
2:12:45next generator, where we find Miss
2:12:47Delight. And like she agreed to, she
2:12:50tried to protect the school by attacking
2:12:53us when activating the generator.
2:12:55However, fortunately for us, we stayed
2:12:57resilient and escaped, shutting a door
2:13:00on her, killing her in the process.
2:13:03Next, after running into Catnap's
2:13:05prototype shrine, which he was actively
2:13:07praying to, we made our way to the
2:13:10playhouse, which was no longer inhabited
2:13:12by children, but rather hundreds of mini
2:13:15critters. Where upon exploring, we see
2:13:18that every other smiling critter bigger
2:13:20body was now dead, except for DogDay,
2:13:24whose body at this point was completely
2:13:27eaten from the hip down. He tried to
2:13:30warn us to leave as there was nothing
2:13:32left to save here. However, just seconds
2:13:35later, the mini critters came to finally
2:13:37finish him off, eating him from the
2:13:39inside out and possessing his body
2:13:42before chasing us out of the playhouse
2:13:45and back into Playcare to enter the
2:13:48final destination, the counselor's
2:13:50office. Upon entering the office and
2:13:53activating the final generator, Catnap
2:13:56finally attacked, jumping us, sending
2:13:59the player into a second dream sequence,
2:14:01where this time we imagine all of the
2:14:04children inside of Playcare before it
2:14:07was destroyed, even having a little
2:14:09flash to the hour of joy. This time when
2:14:12waking up, Catnap strictly tells us on
2:14:15the phone to leave. However, before
2:14:18doing that, we attempted to power on the
2:14:20gas production zone finally, only for
2:14:24Catnap to have enough and pounce on us
2:14:26in the process, chasing us up a lift
2:14:29where after fighting off Catnap for a
2:14:31while, we were able to activate a green
2:14:33hand charge where we were given no other
2:14:36choice but to use the green hand of our
2:14:38own to charge it and then shoot it at
2:14:41Catnap, only for him to breathe out his
2:14:44red smoke causing an explosion all over
2:14:47his body, burning every ounce of his
2:14:49hair off. The prototype came from above
2:14:52as Catnap once again got into a prayer
2:14:55position. However, for whatever reason,
2:14:581006 had had enough of him, stabbing and
2:15:02killing him before taking his body away
2:15:05as well. Anyway, we finally get to power
2:15:08on the gas production zone and send the
2:15:10gas down towards the prison. When
2:15:12getting on the lift to take us to the
2:15:14prison with Poppy while Kissy pulled the
2:15:16lever to let us down. As we got lower
2:15:19and lower, suddenly Kissy was attacked
2:15:23by the prototype who tore her apart as
2:15:25well. Fortunately, once we reached the
2:15:28bottom, Poppy left us to search for the
2:15:30safe haven and went up to go save Kissy.
2:15:34We keep moving and eventually come
2:15:36across the toy graveyard filled to the
2:15:39brim with piles upon piles of now dead
2:15:43toys. After passing through this area
2:15:46and reaching the train that takes us to
2:15:48the prison, we end up uncovering the now
2:15:51decaying body of Riley holding the key
2:15:54to one of the doors that we took and
2:15:57used to enter the prison train. However,
2:16:01while waiting for it to start, we end up
2:16:03coming face to face with none other than
2:16:06Harley Sawyer who all this time, as it
2:16:09turns out, has been watching over us and
2:16:12our journey through the Playtime
2:16:14cameras. And now was here, showing
2:16:17himself through one of the Playtime Co.
2:16:18TVs. He taunts us for a little bit here,
2:16:21and then eventually finally it drops us
2:16:24into the prison. We explore around a
2:16:26little bit while Harley continues to
2:16:28mess with us, doing things like locking
2:16:30us in one of these cell blocks that he
2:16:32filled up with red smoke until we nearly
2:16:35escaped. Once making it out of the
2:16:37prison cell blocks, we go into an
2:16:39observation room where Harley reveals
2:16:42that he had since reunited with an old
2:16:45friend of his, Yarnaby, who he let out
2:16:48of containment to try and hunt us down.
2:16:51Anyway, we keep moving, sneaking around
2:16:54Yarnaby, and even having to run from him
2:16:57when he eventually does spot us. But
2:16:59then, when entering a different
2:17:01observation room, we accidentally fall
2:17:04down and land defenseless in front of
2:17:07none other than Pianosaurus, who was
2:17:10still alive and quickly, like he did in
2:17:13the past, charged towards us. Only for
2:17:16us to thankfully be saved last second by
2:17:19none other than Joey the Dough Man, who
2:17:22introduces himself to us and directs us
2:17:25over to Safe Haven. However, on our way,
2:17:28we are dragged into a hiding spot by
2:17:30none other than Kissy Missy, who
2:17:33miraculously survived her attack from
2:17:35the Prototype and had met back up with
2:17:37Poppy. However, the Prototype was still
2:17:40hot on our tail, walking past our hiding
2:17:43spot until we quickly find an opening
2:17:45and exit and run into Safe Haven just in
2:17:48time. Here, Poppy finally explained to
2:17:51us how exactly she planned to kill the
2:17:53Prototype, which was to use the red
2:17:56smoke that we directed down here to burn
2:17:59the entire factory down and kill the
2:18:02prototype. This was controversial with
2:18:04Joey since he knew to kill the
2:18:07prototype, they'd also have to kill
2:18:09every other toy in the process. Would it
2:18:11be worth it to sacrifice all their lives
2:18:14to end the prototype's control and
2:18:17abuse? Well, for now, Kissy and Poppy
2:18:19stood by to be taken care of by the Safe
2:18:22Haven's medic. While Joey briefs us with
2:18:24the current mission he needed us for,
2:18:27which was to acquire the Omni Hand from
2:18:30Harley Sawyer in order to repair the
2:18:33Safe Haven generator or else risk the
2:18:35prototype breaking in and killing all of
2:18:37them. So, we made our way out to the
2:18:40doctor's domain. However, before we
2:18:42could do so, out from the doors comes
2:18:45Yarnaby, who chased us down into a place
2:18:48called No Man's Land, forcing us to hide
2:18:52and power up and escape, which when
2:18:54doing successfully finally lets us kill
2:18:57Yarnaby by dropping him into some lava.
2:19:00Anyway, finally, we were able to enter
2:19:03the doctor's domain, where once
2:19:05exploring a bit, he forced us to face
2:19:08off against his other pet, Baba Chips,
2:19:11who chased us through a room of cages
2:19:13with many other nightmare critters
2:19:15inside until Harley eventually locked us
2:19:18inside of a room and gave us a very
2:19:21interesting dilemma. To test our morals,
2:19:23we were given the choice to either stay
2:19:26inside of this room until we ended up
2:19:28dying or we could simply kill this
2:19:31innocent Simon Smoke, also trapped
2:19:33within a tube to be granted freedom.
2:19:36Where did our morals lie? Thankfully,
2:19:39this wouldn't really matter because we
2:19:41were able to find an escape through a
2:19:43hidden exit that he didn't consider, and
2:19:45finally, Harley would let us face off
2:19:48against him and his minions. And after
2:19:51running from them and thankfully
2:19:53surviving, we made it to the central
2:19:56part of his operation and took out the
2:19:58Omni chip as well as finally
2:20:01deactivating the doctor once and for
2:20:04all. After recollecting the Omni hand,
2:20:07we made our way back to Safe Haven and
2:20:09finally fixed the generator. Our mission
2:20:12was complete with Dewey, although
2:20:14somewhat bittersweet, it was time to end
2:20:17everything with Poppy. She directed us
2:20:20over to the factory's foundation where
2:20:23we found and placed dynamite all over it
2:20:26and made our way back over to finally
2:20:28set everything off. However, while doing
2:20:31so, Dewey approached us and realized
2:20:33that with both of us out here, nobody
2:20:36was watching for the prototype in Safe
2:20:38Haven who, in between this blind period,
2:20:41had actually stolen all of our
2:20:44explosives and snuck into Safe Haven,
2:20:47blowing up absolutely everything and
2:20:50killing every single toy inside. After
2:20:53assessing the damage, we saw that there
2:20:56was nothing left but rubble and Dewey
2:20:58was heartbroken. Here, we see him bounce
2:21:01wildly across his three personalities,
2:21:04saying it was his fault and then
2:21:06ultimately deciding that it was actually
2:21:09our fault, causing him to shapeshift
2:21:11into a massive demonic salamander and
2:21:15chase us down. When fighting Dewey, we
2:21:17take advantage of the liquid nitrogen
2:21:20canisters left down here and exploded
2:21:22them onto Dewey, leading to his body
2:21:25freezing and allowing us to saw his
2:21:27otherwise malleable body down, taking us
2:21:30to a pressing room where we freeze him
2:21:33once more and finally crushed his body,
2:21:37causing him to sadly die, but not before
2:21:40finally snapping out of it and
2:21:42apologizing.
2:21:43I'm sorry.
2:21:46I'm
2:21:48sorry.
2:21:49Anyway, after making our way through, we
2:21:51enter a little vent shaft and find that
2:21:54miraculously Poppy and Kissy had snuck
2:21:57away from Safe Haven before it had blown
2:21:59up. However, at this point, the
2:22:01prototype was done pretending to be
2:22:03Ollie all these years for Poppy, and he
2:22:06revealed to her that this entire time he
2:22:10actually always was 1006,
2:22:13telling her he was going to blow up the
2:22:16vent we were all hiding in, causing
2:22:18Poppy to run through a little exit,
2:22:20abandoning us and Kissy while the
2:22:22prototype blew up the shaft, which
2:22:25thankfully both us and Kissy survived.
2:22:28But, while trying to hold us up, Kissy's
2:22:30arm tore off and we fell below,
2:22:33separated from both of them. Now, for
2:22:35the player, we did end up surviving this
2:22:38fall as well and found ourselves right
2:22:40outside of the lab's entrance, where
2:22:42using the Omni Hand, we were able to
2:22:45enter. However, when doing so, we saw
2:22:48that from the outside
2:22:50we had accidentally awoken a familiar
2:22:53beast, Huggy Wuggy, who had apparently
2:22:56survived his fall and now was repaired
2:23:00and ready to attack, banging on the
2:23:02glass and chasing us throughout the
2:23:04labs. The beast continually kept
2:23:07attacking us until we ended up making it
2:23:09into an elevator, where Huggy ambushed
2:23:12one more time and stole our grab pack,
2:23:14finally leaving us alone for a little
2:23:16while. On the other hand, for Poppy,
2:23:19after running through the vents from the
2:23:20prototype, who is now in full pursuit of
2:23:23trying to put Poppy back in her case,
2:23:25she thankfully managed to escape him.
2:23:28However, she only did this by
2:23:30accidentally falling through the vents,
2:23:32which landed her directly in front of
2:23:35none other than Lily Love Brades inside
2:23:37of her doll house. As for Kissy, she
2:23:40attempted to follow Poppy and looked
2:23:43around for her around the sweet street
2:23:45area, only for Lily to find and capture
2:23:49her as well, trapping both of them
2:23:51inside of her prison to treasure them as
2:23:54her new friends. Back over to the
2:23:56player, after exiting the elevator, we
2:23:59saw that down in the darkest depths of
2:24:01Playtime Co, there were the Outimals,
2:24:04these creepy Inside Out toys that lurked
2:24:07and lived around here. We ended up
2:24:09finding a toy Globy that allowed us to
2:24:12search for hidden ink drawn around the
2:24:14labs, along with being able to shine
2:24:16lights to scare the Outimals away.
2:24:19Anyway, after being jumped by one of the
2:24:21Outimals and slowly dragged away, we are
2:24:24saved by none other than Giblet, one of
2:24:27the prototype's old collaborators who
2:24:30had been living down here the entire
2:24:32time and had even made a little weapon
2:24:34of his to fight off the monsters.
2:24:36Anyway, after hiding from the prototype,
2:24:38who was still working around here, he
2:24:40ends up taking us over to his base and
2:24:43he directed us to a new Grab Pack, which
2:24:45was in the mouth of the feeder bigger
2:24:48body Bron. After exploring a little bit
2:24:50further, we end up running into none
2:24:53other than Chum Chompkins, who also
2:24:55worked with Giblet and tasked us with
2:24:58finding some research notes that they
2:25:00said could contain the prototype's
2:25:02weakness. Upon digging around a little
2:25:05bit and eventually finding these notes,
2:25:07we learned that the notes in question
2:25:09were actually a presentation centered
2:25:12around the negation compound, the stuff
2:25:15used to destroy biological matter and
2:25:18the prototype's only weakness. At the
2:25:20end of the presentation, they listed an
2:25:22archive sheet for where to find more
2:25:25information about the compound, listing
2:25:27the master backup inside of the data
2:25:30center as the only place containing the
2:25:32information. After giving these notes to
2:25:35Giblet and Chum, they tasked us with
2:25:37making our way to this data center and
2:25:39accessing this master backup to
2:25:42hopefully learn how to create this
2:25:44negation compound and use it against the
2:25:46prototype. Anyway, again, the prototype
2:25:49came looking for us. However, this time
2:25:51we actually just chose to hop into Chum
2:25:54Chompkin's belly like what the children
2:25:56used to do until the prototype passed
2:25:59and sadly Chum had to leave us. Anyway,
2:26:02in order to get to this back-up Giblet
2:26:04wanted us to reach, we had to cross
2:26:07through sweet streets with none other
2:26:09than Lily Love Brains. After having
2:26:11another run-in with Huggy outside of the
2:26:14sweet streets entrance, having to use
2:26:16projections of Kissy Missy to distract
2:26:18him, we finally powered on the entrance.
2:26:21And upon exploring, it didn't take too
2:26:24long for Lily Love Brains to find us and
2:26:26take us into her dollhouse like the
2:26:28others. Upon doing so, she revealed that
2:26:31she wanted us to gather her friends for
2:26:34the tea party that was supposedly
2:26:36happening soon. Since with her trapping
2:26:38the Poppy doll down in the basement, the
2:26:41prototype finally agreed to come over as
2:26:44a special guest to collect the doll.
2:26:46After we organized all of her toys and
2:26:49eventually snuck into her room which
2:26:51contained the original skeleton of Miss
2:26:54Gracie, we find her prison key and make
2:26:57our way to the basement where Kissy and
2:26:59Poppy were locked, freeing them. On the
2:27:02way out, however, Lily eventually
2:27:04captures us and forces us to be a part
2:27:07of the tea party where finally after all
2:27:10this time the prototype fully revealed
2:27:12himself to us, barging into Lily's
2:27:15house. She was excited for his presence
2:27:18after being ignored for so many years.
2:27:20Although admittedly, he didn't really
2:27:22care and was really after his prized
2:27:25possession, Poppy, who he finally had
2:27:28right in front of him once again. He
2:27:31explained his mission as he grabbed the
2:27:33Poppy doll. However, before he could do
2:27:36anything, he accidentally would crack
2:27:38her face, shocking him and causing him
2:27:41to drop her. Seeing this happen enraged
2:27:44Kissy, especially after what he did to
2:27:47her. So, she attacked the prototype
2:27:49giving us a window to escape. Lily then
2:27:52tried to chase us down. However, after
2:27:54climbing up the Sweet Streets clouds, we
2:27:56were able to drop one that she was
2:27:59standing on, leading to her falling on
2:28:01the floor and dying. Now, finally making
2:28:04it past, we met back up with Giblet,
2:28:07Poppy, and Kissy to tragically see
2:28:10Poppy's now destroyed face. But
2:28:12thankfully, for now, she was safe. And
2:28:15from here, we were directed over to the
2:28:17Reanimation train station to find the
2:28:20backup. On our way there, however, Huggy
2:28:23Wuggy pounces once again. And after
2:28:25running from him for a little, we
2:28:27finally met back up with our pals at the
2:28:30train station. Huggy rushes towards us
2:28:33in hot pursuit. However, upon seeing
2:28:36Kissy, like when he was first created,
2:28:38he was calmed by her presence for the
2:28:41very first time since us entering.
2:28:44However, the prototype tracked us down
2:28:46once again and held no punches, stabbing
2:28:49both Huggy and Kissy, forcing us into
2:28:52the train right away. After riding the
2:28:55train for a while, Giblet directs us to
2:28:57jump off at the data center before it
2:29:00crashes with the prototype still on it.
2:29:03And while the crash exploded the train,
2:29:06the prototype somehow still survived,
2:29:08leaving us cornered without a way out.
2:29:11He quickly stabbed us as we tried to
2:29:13run, and finally it took Poppy for real
2:29:17this time. Oddly enough though, the
2:29:19prototype didn't leave us to die, and
2:29:22rather, once he had Poppy, he took our
2:29:24body and dropped it into the red Poppy
2:29:27gel, allowing our wounds to regenerate
2:29:30and us to survive. Getting resuscitated
2:29:33from Giblet's staff that shocked us.
2:29:35However, Poppy was now gone.
2:29:38Nonetheless, we went to activate the
2:29:41backup from the data center where we
2:29:43found out the archive for the negation
2:29:46formula was actually just the conscious
2:29:50backup for Harley Sawyer who we had just
2:29:53reactivated into the real world. And
2:29:56while this is definitely not what we
2:29:58thought and on the surface is a bad
2:30:01thing, it seems like we might get to use
2:30:03him to finally help us capture Poppy and
2:30:06create the negation formula to defeat
2:30:09the prototype once and for all. Outside
2:30:12of Playtime Co though, that's not all
2:30:14for the story because there was the
2:30:17otherwise untouched Playtime Co Park
2:30:20that seemed unaffected by the hour of
2:30:22joy and was still occupied by the
2:30:24executive Eddie Ritterman. While across
2:30:27the sea, there was the entire Japanese
2:30:30Playtime Co factory which while we saw
2:30:33in a note that none of the Poppy flower
2:30:35farming material made it over could
2:30:38still be running and functioning to this
2:30:41very day.
2:30:43But guys, that is all for the timeline.
2:30:45Let me know what you guys think of it. I
2:30:47obviously had to assume quite a lot of
2:30:49things narratively since there's plenty
2:30:51of stuff that isn't fully explained or
2:30:54isn't given an exact date. And there's
2:30:56also a lot of theories that could change
2:30:58up the timeline a bit. Like for
2:30:59instance, I went with the rich is the
2:31:02player theory for this timeline, but
2:31:04there's infinite other plausible ideas.
2:31:06So, let me know what you guys think of
2:31:08the timeline below and I appreciate you
2:31:10guys watching.
