I think the fact that Catnap gives you a chance to leave even though he found you a second time is significant. Remember the first time he tried to kill you he did it in such a way that he wouldn't watch it, then only after he warns you and you persist on getting closer to his god does he actually become dangerous.
I think he recognizes you as one of the people that didn't hurt anyone. As someone that was about as innocent as an adult in this situation could get. Not as innocent as the child victims, or the other abused toys, but still not someone to just slaughter on sight.
Food for thought.
That and how he tried to keep Miss Delight away from the kids. Maybe he tried protecting them and the other innocents during the Hour of Joy incident (but failed in the end). The player's definitely being manipulated even if it's unclear by whom at this point.
Catnap pretty much wants us to stay out of his business and only tries to kill us once we don’t listen to him.
it could have also been a trick. He is known for playing with his prey.
Catnap's Death was very poetic, as Theodore he almost died to electrocution and was killed to turned anew and when he was Catnap he almost died to electrocution as well as born anew via the prototype.
He was either playing with us or it tells us that the Mc wasn't involved with the kids much personally or well the day to day operations. Mommy & co recognize us as being a worker but nothing other than that
DogDay probably had the worst fate, since he didn't mean harm, but the smaller critters used him as a vessel to attack the player
Not just him
But kicken chicken as well, in the cardboard thing, unlike the other (besides dog day) kicken chicken isn't that murderous
Edit: oh, bobby bearhug isn't murderous either
@@Kirbytards-are-Annoying I wasn't taking about those who were already dead
@@danielmaynard239 I'm just saying he isn't the only one
Anyone remember the spiders from the mist?
He had the scariest jump scare in my opinion
Is it just me or is the "hour of joy" the scariest part? Just imagine hiding for hours , crawling into vents while hearing the death of friends. The fact that most of the employees did not know anything and were seeing childhood mascots run at them. Employees and others saw heads teared off, bodies tossed, and chasing others. Plus whatever they did, they'll die no matter what. And the monsters did this because the higher ups treated them like sh!t.
yeah, i don't really know why but the way they presented it was as if it had really happened, no exaggeratedly climactic music, no "scary" effects, no sounds, no voices, just a videotape of a slaughter
@@lokky9188 It's because it's an immersion of our reality, at least in some aspects. This gives the feel of a riot in a prison cell, something that does actually happen. It's just that its creatures doing the slaughter and not other humans. This is how I feel about it.
For real life that do that.
It should be it’s own chapter or game
The depressing part was the hour of joy is the final nail of the coffin of thier downfall.
I mean yeah the employee need to die but thier plan is way to much of revenge that every innocent employee and the adopted parent were being slaughter.
the past 10 year before the mc came and i came to realise that everytoy who didn't participate the hour of joy are getting killed which make me mad at the prototype and the hunger itself really bring us to horror that every toys are eating the corpse which came to my mind how can they react that every good people they are dying for these senseless slaughter.
I see prototype a monster in my eye instead of looking the person who did them the horror that they face but only amplified the anger to seek revenge on the adults.
14:58 This detail is just amazing. Kissy visibly reacts when Huggys death is mentioned. She flinches and glances at Poppy and also brings her knee up. This is probably hinting that Huggy and Kissy have a much deeper story together. I can’t explain how much i love subtle details like this. It shows so much of Kissys personality in just a couple of seconds. It’s absolutely awesome.
I have a feeling huggy and kissy were one of the experiment children Kevin and his other child friend that came to check up on him in one of the recordings
@@georgiawood3144I don’t think that’s the case. Kissy is a girl, Kevin and Joseph were both boys. I think we’ll learn about Huggy and Kissy in the next chapter. The way this chapter ended makes me believe that at least. I think they should explain all the known toys’ past tho.. They’re all so interesting~
3:32
I thought i was the only one that seen that
I don’t think that animation is related to that voice line. When I played through Kissy Missy did that way before she mentioned Huggy.
The way they did Catnap’s death was really good. It’s not really noticeable at first but I just realised that in Catnap’s death scene, he’s terrified and afraid because he was once again dying in the same way he was as a child. And the last time it happened he trusted the prototype with his life which saved him but in return made him be selected to become Catnap and go through some grim awful shit. Now once again the same thing had happened and for Catnap it was like a spitting image of that traumatic haunting event- essentially an major post traumatic flashback and once again the prototype wanted him to give his full trust to it. That’s harsh man.
I didn’t think of it that way but you’re so right :(
I interpreted it differently, given the pose that Catnap makes it almost seems as though he's offering himself to the prototype and happy that he finally was able to become one with the god he worshipped.
@@renegade6578 That's what I thought too as catnap is meant to be one of those insane cultists who are willing to do anything for their being of worship and willing to die for it plus he did do the pose
You're right, it's chilling to realize that Theo/Catnap most likely had flashbacks.
fr, BRUTAL damn
Catnap locking up the teachers to keep them from the students is interesting.
He was still wanting to protect the children from harm. The fact Ms. Delight admitted she would kill the kids is telling of the Hour of Joy.
I wonder if he kept his promise to protect them or eventually he ended up killing and eating them. Or he just wanted to keep the "food" for himself.
@@maciumba He actually did protect them, if he killed them then his god (the prototype) wouldn't be too happy with that since the prototype himself wanted no more kids to die, hence why he did the hour of joy and coordinated everything, if Ms. Delight did try to kill the kids then catnap would intervene and most likely kill her
@@TheOneWhoAsked33Wait but if the kids survived the hour of joy what happened to them after? Did they eventually die of hunger?
@@cresselia3553 I think they did, only possible reason. I'm not all too sure of this but most likely they ended up dying by the toys or of hunger
It seems like a lot of the toys don't actually get a long with each other or at the very least fear catnap and the prototype. The hour of joy probably felt like a great idea to them at first. But when all the employees died they were left without food or children to play with it was a wasteland and that probably caused them to rethink their alliances. We know Mommy assisted the prototype but at some point she also turned to fear him..
13:27 Also I really love how they handled that kissy scene. When she attacks, she is cloaked in "Moonlight" making her appear blue like huggy. But once poppy stops her and she shines her flashlight on em, we can see that the figure is pink, making them Kissy.
yeah, i was like what is he back?
Omg I love y😊😂❤❤❤
Is the prototype elott
Me thinking that it was huggy until I saw this coment
See the figure is pink , making them kissy. Missy for real life.
Hearing Elliot Ludwig's speech about smiles in the cable car is so much more chilling now that I know the lore about the bigger bodies initiative. "There is nothing more gratifying to my soul than being the reason for a child's smile...these children deserve to smile...dedicated in every inch and detail to ensuring a child's smile...may playcare bring smiles to all who enter these doors, for what gives life its meaning, if not a smile?" Then I realized basically all the bigger body toys have permanent smiles on their faces.
Expect some of the toys like mommy, when she got angry the part where she slid down from up to us in chapter 2 where she called us cheater, her mouth changes for a second
I believe Elliott might have been oblivious up until a certain point, then disposed of when he didn’t want to do those cruel things to children, I doubt he started the business with many workers and probably was non-profit in the beginning.
One think i find sinister is the reason (or, lack of knowing it) WHY whey made the bigger bodies. It's DEFINITLY not just to help in the factory
that’s something i noticed about big catnap, it’s face is plastic and unmoving until the gas, it’s permanently in that wide mouthed smile
yyoooo i didnt even put the two together. i think he's possibly trying to BECOME the toy to make kids smile
CatNap didn't have much screentime, but when he was onscreen, he was absolutely terrifying! That colorless form was pure nightmare fuel!
I feel like the idea of Catnap watching you behind your back when you're least expecting it is much more terrifying than mommy long legs watching you from a window
Some toys who is the center of attention does not need screen time mostly, some other toys within playcare should have their screen time to, if it wasn’t for Catnap taking much screen time, we wouldn’t have other toys screen time and experience how dark Chapter 3 really is.
He's based on a cat and we were even told he liked to stall his prey and awaken them before going for the kill. If they gave him too much screen time he wouldve been just another Mommy long legs. She wasnt scary and would not stop talking the whole time, it was annoying.
I didn't realize that was the "colorless creature" that was talked about in the VHS tapes until seeing this comment 😂😭.
they coulda done better like actually Having us try to survive against Catnap in the shadows and dark places that give a more survivor horror experience like advertised in the trailer other than that I loved this chapter
(CATNAP is my fav antagonist of the main 3 in every chapter now)
It's interesting how, in the lore, Theo became catnap because he was badly damaged by electricity, and in the game, we defeated him by again electrifying him.
Palpatine: _Ironic._ 😏
Fr fr
Every time I watch that moment, my first thought is Tiger Tiger. Maybe there's some connection or inspiration there - the cat toy being made that way because the boy inside was hurt by electricity (which is, you know, like lightning), which also defeats him while he is a cat.
@@matsvee6746the only difference this time round is the smoke, Ironically he was electrified like his previous death and his whole ordeal(The Red Smoke) also played apart in his death due to gas being *HIGHLY* flammable thus while he was being electrocuted he was then incinerated
foul. 😭💀☠🗿🥶
I find it funny that this worker is almost/around 40 (because of the time it takes for college, finding a job, working your way up the ranks, and actually working there for so long that every mascot you meet knows that you worked here) and is running around with a grab pack, crouching through tight spaces, falling at bone breaking heights, and has not had ONE back problem in this whole series.
I’m 37 and my back hurts just watching it.
he has giga chad's body i guess
They’re just built different 💀
HELP YAH
Bro, I’m 38 and had to go to the emergency room tonight because my foot is in excruciating pain. The cause? STANDING TOO LONG.
Ok but can we talk about how GOOD the voice acting in this game is? Like holy crap the first 2 chapters had great voices, but this takes it to a NEXT LEVEL. Poppy and DogDay are the standouts for me, cause you feel their full on raw emotions. For DogDay, it’s pretty much his whole talk with you in the Playhouse, and for Poppy, it’s her frankly gut wrenching account of the Hour of Joy, and the absolute despair you can hear in her voice when she realizes Kissy’s in danger at the end, and how she reacts very realistically, at first thinking she’s just doing something weird, and then she hears the scream, and KNOWS something’s up. I like that more realistic approach rather than just saying she’s in danger just because of a small thump. The little details man, can’t get enough.
TL;DR: The voice acting in this game is absolutely incredible, and Poppy’s VA is the GOAT.
and Ms Harper's VA for one of the tapes. Girl had rent due tomorrow
@jaslikeart oh yeah I forgot about that- I’ll be honest I think I spaced out during the tapes lmao
I aint readin allat
@@Mcblocksy-funny-vidsTLDR: the voice acting is hella good especially Dog Day & Poppy
Love all of them (except for Greyber, I can hear the accent of my native tounge a mile away/j)
Catnap “lost” the final boss fight after being electrocuted by our green GrabPack hand.
Theodore Grambell’s position as Catnap began after the incident in which he electrocuted himself with the green GrabPack hand.
*Ah, irony.*
Lol
that is a cool detail
Ironic indeed
I just feel sorry for him. He put so much faith in the one person who had ever shown him true kindness only to be betrayed in the end. Though it is weird. Why would Prototype save him just to kill him?
@@jerryapice1762 It seems like the Prototype was bringing Catnap to a sort of toy heaven, and Catnap went willingly so it wasn't betrayal.
The prototype: I'm here to help catnap
Catnap: Thank you, my lor-
*gets impaled.*
Prototype: You see, I was actually using an advanced technique called lying.
Catnap did not see that coming💀👍
I mean, it seems like catnap was also just.. sacrificing himself? Scared ofc but yeah-
@@Bfdibfbbfdiatpotfanforeverhe probably did, which was why he backed away at first
no, Like what bro said, the prototype is made(maybe) by more beings including the prototype itself, and since they were friend when catnap was theo, I think he wanted his friend with him in the core of the body it process.
I'm pretty sure Catnap knew he was going to die because he fail, which is probably why he backed away at first but eventually accept the fact he was going to die either way and allow the prototype to kill him (and with a theory that Catnap and the prototype were pretty close when they were both still humans, there is a chance the prototype gave him a mercy kill to put him out of his misery) .
a terrible detail with dogday is that a belt is tied around their waste right above where they were severed, meaning that no blood could escape so dogday could still barely cling to life. sickening.
HOLY EFF
I literally noticed the turnicate when I first saw him. If that wasn't horrifying enough the smaller smiling critters entering into his body with Bobby Bearhug literally going through his eye would definitely keep me awake.
So is dogdday originally a child as well?
@@highlightedsushi3147 no, I believe he is possessed by an employee in-game
@@user-xu1zx9mo3j ohh okay thanks
Ollie is MatPat’s son!
Also, there’s a message in Home Sweet Home,
“A clap and a half to you, we’ll miss you!”
A clap and a half is a GTLive catchphrase!
And the “we’ll miss you” is just so sweet 😊
Huh, I did not know GT had another catchphrase.
The voice actor isn't ollie but it could be possible that both the name and the phrases are a reference
Aww that’s adorable
@@agenti4734Yep
I like that Ollie may be a reference to GT, but I still want to know who they are in the game lol. Is he a person? A toy? More mysteries.
Hearing Kissy's screams at the end made me feel like part of me had been killed in that moment. She was so sweet, and just wanted us to succeed. We'll most likely find out what happened to her in Chapter 4, which will probably come out in 2026 or somwhere around there.
I hope she's going to be ok and didn't die, I love kissy
Sadly, at this rate, it feels like we're not gonna see Chapter 4 until 2026 at the earliest. Shouldn't be waiting for THAT long...right?
I wanted to cry hearing her screaming like "Don't...Don't please don't kill her off"
Mob need to fckin hire more people instead of worrying for merch and movies.
@@user-co7st1tb5eit really is ridiculous. I love this game but is this going to be the norm now? Is it going to spread? Now games all come out in chunks you wait years for? Mob has made BANK on the merch sales, they have battle passes with the multiplayer, and they should at least be discussing a movie deal. They can hire more people surely.
The tiny smiling critters climbing into DogDay’s open body and using him as a skinsuit was such genuinely disturbing body horror, i’m impressed with how much darker chapter 3 has been in comparison to the previous two
This incident has happened so many times before I have thankfully caught all the critters, but this was the one time they successfully took over his body. I wanted to punish him and not kill him. The only reason I’ve try to take care of the player is because he killed some of the other toys

I actually cant put into words how adorable Kissy is. When she’s just sat there idly in the lift, her lil eyeesss!!!!!! There’s always something so unbelievable ADORABLE about huge, friendly beasts that have the capability of killing your but are just mellow and kind. UGH SHES SO CUTE
what is wrong with you she's terrifying, especially because she also killed people in the hour of joy and is probably just pretending to be passively friendly.
@@notmo.she was an orphan who was taken to a place she was supposed to cared for, and was instead experimented on by the people she was supposed to trust. That kind of treatment begets terrible anger. I’m not saying what she did was right, but I am saying, I get it. To be treated to horrendously, for so long, and then being presented with an opening for vengeance? It must have felt so good to lash out. In the moment at least.
@@notmo.unless Poppy turns out to be evil in chapter 4, then Kissy wasnt pretending to be nice since she seems to have been killed in the end of this chapter
@@notmo. I mean her outward appearance really. The way she presents herself makes even her uncanny smile cute. Again, she reminds me of huge friendly beasts (totoro, friendly dragons etc.) that are super gentle. Like a big gentle St Bernard. Clearly she’s being shy and hesitant, unhappy with what’s happening in her world and wanting change. I love it.
@@notmo.how can you say her at 14:37 isn’t so cute
I find it interesting that Ollie considers Catnap as the last of the Smiling Critters, while DogDay considers himself the last. I believe this is in regards to the CatNap recall, and his removal from the group.
Ollie may have been present when CatNap was introduced, but not notified of the recall. He may also believe all the Smiling Critters are dead because they were all taken to that hidden prison, with who-knows-what happening to them. It was best to assume they were dead.
On the other hand, DogDay would have that information, being a part of the Smiling Critters.
One thinks CatNap is the last, while DogDay *knows* he is the last.
His final dog days--
I thought it would be because dogday was under like a basement locked away
It’s not because of the recall tbh. It’s because DogDay doesn’t see CatNap as a person anymore. This is illustrated in him calling him a “thing” in his dialogue. After seeing CatNap slaughter so many people and possibly toys, and then having CatNap tear off his legs and leaving him to suffer, DogDay no longer sees a Smiling Critter whom he can recognize or respect-he sees a monstrous entity with no empathy. To him, all of the Smiling Critters have died, and only DogDay is left.
Ollie doesn’t seem to have direct experiences with CatNap. When he discusses CatNap’s views with the Player, he says things like “I’ve heard” and “Everyone says”. Therefore, when Ollie calls CatNap a “Smiling Critter”, he’s doing so because CatNap is, by definition, a Smiling Critter. There’s not much emotion there on the subject.
Unless DogDay somehow miraculously survived, it seems almost pointless to talk about now. After all, now there’s NO Smiling Critters.
All of them have officially been wiped out, leaving behind only those parasite plushies in the Playhouse (wow, alliteration). So far, they’re probably among the most tragic characters in the lore so far.
First time I heard Ollie speak I was thinking in my mind, “Yo, Gregory when did you switch games? Could’ve just quit fnaf instead of tricking Cassy to switch games.”
Congrats you have 100 likes BTW I was your 100th like
fr, ollie actually sounds like ruin gregory 😭💀
Tbh same!!! Ollie sounded like Gregory in his first line i thought i was the only one haha
@@RainierFajardoProduction the multiverses are connected the poppy and fnaf universe the ppfnaf univers
I had the same thought which leads me to believe that Ollie is sus af and is either the Prototype or a hidden antagonist that’ll betray poppy and us.
In the Stella Greyber tape, not only was the couple surprised to find out about the testing, but it sounds like Stella was too. The couple asks how she could not know when she's in charge, and Stella sounds confused when reading the "testing" note on the form. It wasn't just the factory workers who didn't know about the experiments, it was even kept from the head of Playcare herself. Everything we've heard about Stella makes it clear she wouldn't approve of experimenting on orphans, so her being kept in the dark would make sense. Maybe she was promoted to head of Playcare and not told about the experiments to set her up, similar to how Elliot Ludwig might've been set up to take the fall for everything?
I agree
Is stella greyber not mommy?
@@trenth.7053no,it was Marie
@@trenth.7053if my spelling were correct
@@fishingnxj Oh yeaaa it's been a minutes since i heard that name haha
The Hour of Joy is one of the most horrifying and tragic events in any video game ever. Seriously so disturbing.
Nah, I think the moment when the robots in atomic heart attack and kill everyone was much more disturbing, especially “Nora”
Catnap is oddly lenient in comparison to huggy and mommy, you could interpret it as an predator stalking its prey but that doesn't fit, Catnap takes defending playcare seriously and in the end he's just a kid, not some sadistic murderer and the moment he attacks us he does so only to warn us.
Although catnap made it very clear to turn back. Huggy will also stalk you until you’re about to free poppy and mommy Will give you the code to leave but gets aggressive when you start venturing off. Catnap is the same except he makes it very clear if you don’t leave playcare he’ll kill you
The female woman who talked about Maria needs more recognition, she really put her all into the role of a woman who cares deeply for her daughter and scared out of her mind when that incident happened
Seriously, that was amazing
Female woman💀
The Male man
Human person💀
FEMALE WOMAN 💀
Dogday’s death gave me chills… as he mentioned the smaller toys are fed, meaning they must’ve fed on his innards too and the others for him to know this. So as they crawl inside of him, they are eating what’s left until it is a hollow shell for them to control
Sickening 😰
When I saw the game, I knew it’s gonna be scary, just not this level
Dogday didn’t deserve this
Now I’m even more concerned about the next chapter; will there be a happy ending or are there more secrets to uncover?
@@CBMOA exactly I'm sad kissy got taken I hope it ends next time
That's the thing no comment or the video even mentions. The wiki says it.
DogDay said it himself they want to crawl under skin skin and eat him.
That's what happened. He got eaten from the inside and used as a skin puppet. Gruesome.
@@magnusm4aren’t these things toys? Are the little things just eating white cotton inside the toy😂
@@paulallen2680 the actual bodies of the children are put into the toys, if I understood everything going on properly.
12:29 this scene is heartbreaking. Imagine waking up, your friend not there, and you ask an adult, as they lie right to your face… and your friend never ever returns back to you.
What I don't get is how did these kids not know that other kids weren't showing up? There's no way they weren't talking to each other and saying "Hey have you seen so and so I haven't seen them at all today?" There's no way these kids weren't talking to each other about other kids going missing.
@@burningflamesofdivinedragon That’s a good theory.
@@burningflamesofdivinedragonthey were probably telling the kids that their peers were being adopted and that’s why they didn’t come back. But I’m sure the kids still had their suspicions and talked amongst each other since they would never receive goodbyes from their peers. Regardless, they’re children. They know they’re at the mercy of the adult employees so rather than push any questions further, they probably just wanted to believe that the employees were really taking care of them instead of living with constant anxiety at the possibility that something nefarious was going on. Especially since they’d be helpless either way as children.
I think the biggest mystery is Ollie. It sounds like a child, but no child could survive this long down there. It's also been so many years since the daycare was open. Maybe someone trapped in a toy? But that doesn't make sense. All the others took over the toys names. No matter who they were before.
My theory, is that it's actually the prototype.
It has the ability to learn very quickly, and has multiple voices, a child voice would be easy then. Especially after the years after it happening. But why would they use a childs voice, and why help the protagonist?
Also very easily explainable:
- a child is seen as innocent, something that wouldn't cause harm, or want this. An Adult has a better ability of pretending to be nice. Like how in the VHS Tapes, how they experimented on kids but always had a nice face for the public.
- Everyone in the factory knows the potential of the protagonist. The Prototype uses the corspes of the toys that have humans trapped in them. He needed the protagonist to weaken Catnap. And take Kissy at the end. They use the protagonist to their own needs and wishes.
The Prototype is very smart, as we learned from every tape of it. It would absolutely be able to come up with that plan. And indeed, having Poppy trusting them is a very useful tool as well. They would play nice, to get what they want in return. Because Poppy and Kissy don't need to eat, they cannot offer food for their 'friendship', and they're too smart to just attack, so, it seperates them.
Follow this up, I think that 'Ollie' will seperate Poppy and the Protagonist once more, take over Poppy, and use her voice to lure the player along to their possible demise.
True but the prototype can't stay in 1 voice the prototypes voice is an amalgamation of different voices it's difficult for the prototype to even say a single sentence. Meanwhile Ollie sounds completely normal so he's probably some sort of toy maybe like Poppy.
@@VinceAndVikingGreenYou can hear that when the scientist interviewes the prototype, in one part it talks without changing his voice
It makes a lot of sense especially since poppy says he always seems to be aware of what's going on, it would explain how he knows everything, its because he is helping make the plans himself. He is a genius but he's not a mind reader yet he always is at the right place at the right time? Seems sus everytime he plans to kill one of the toys he's literally right around the corner, it almost makes too much sense.
And you have to realize most of it not all the toys like poppy and stuff are children they can easily be manipulated so it makes sense they'd assume it's just another toy like them.
In the tape before the final battle the prototype's voice modulates back and forth until finally converging on a voice eerily similar to the researcher. This combined with repeating the researcher's own phrase back makes it seem more likely that the voice wasn't a lack of control, but rather the learning process of the prototype. This fits with the theme of the prototype taking in other toys and integrating them into itself. It would explain the cruelness of the prototype as well, it simply copied the the horrific experiments perpetrated on both it and the children.
Would not be surprised to see the prototype rehash old toys and puzzles in the final chapter, subverting expectations previously ingrained in the player. The prototype seems omnipresent in the facility, with hands coming out of nowhere. Given its shown to be the trigger to the hour of joy, it doesn't seem farfetched for it to have been pitting other toys against the player so that it can observe and learn.
I kinda had a thought the actual phone was Ollie. Only cause it has a face on it and it looks like a toy. But then it wouldnt make sense how he knows where things are and howre theyre accessed
I originally thought this game was just another cringey mascot horror game, but then I saw the VHS tapes, the ARG, and all the other content that led up to this chapter. This game is truly unique, and the developers aren’t afraid to make it as terrifying as possible.
the first two chapters werent amazing, but its clear that they saw what potential this chapter had, and went "we were quite tame with the last two chapters, lets kick it up a notch" and then they did
what about bendy and the dark revial?
I know. The first chapter was a bit controversial with people saying it's just a mascot horror cash in. They pointed out how the game already had a store site selling merchandise.
It started simple and typical but I love how far it goes. But the fur graphics are INSANELY good!
"oh my god... I get it"
@@salehvenomBendy ain't cringey I think everyone knows that.
Props to the devs for actually having the balls to make legitimately disturbing and upsetting horror, instead of something cutesy and kid friendly.
Fnaf has an entire family get killed by robots, and that is pretty disturbing
@@LordBakon but you don't really know that if you don't dig for it.
@LordBakon it's not mentioned directly in game only the books the games lost their teeth a long time ago you get some implied but no direct things that legitimately put a pit in your stomach like these
@@LordBakon I love FNAF as much as the next person, but FNAF's lore has always been a bit... subtle. It makes the fans figure out all the details, and even when we do, it's not always quite right. The best in game canon mention of all the tragedies was Henry's final speech in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator. This game really spells it out for us. While the first two chapters of the game were a bit more on the subtle side where you had to read some stuff to get somewhat of an understanding of what's going on, this chapter (and I'm sure the next that comes along) solidifies what we've all been speculating and theorizing. We don't have to guess intentions, possible references or hints. It tells us orphaned kids are experimented on and forced into being toys for the rest of their lives and are suffering.
To be fair, this is mascot horror. They're entertainers/toys, they gotta be colourful and 'joyful', since they're made for kids.
But, something I noticed, was CatNap wasn't expecting to die then. When the prototype extended his hand CatNap went to take it but was betrayed last second. He hesitated grabbing the prototype's hand because he noticed it was was no longer as open as it had been and had been tightened to stab CatNap.
Nah. I think Catnap sacrificed himself.
For me I think that he knew what was happening and sacrificed himself cause he knows he’s injured and realizes he can also be part of the prototype himself, remember, cat nap considers the prototype as a god
yeah, something you noticed or something you want to think that happended, now sure you can think that he “betrayed him” but most people would see it as sacrifice, i mean he literally backed away last second but then goes back to the hand and instead of grabbing it mf doing the same exact pose he was doing when he was worshipping him, i believe if he really wasn’t sacrificing himself he would of just grabbed his hand not stand with his mouth and arms literally open.
Another interesting thing is, with the cutouts, the ones with screams at the end are most likely dead. Like Kickin Chicken. But the thing is, Bobby Bearhug, Picky Piggy, and Crafty Corn do not have screams. With Crafty Corn, she must have stayed alive for a bit longer, as she was most likely the one to write in the vents when we are being chased by huggy, but, was eaten by Picky Piggy, who most likely ate Kickin Chicken, Bubba, and as stated before, Crafty Corn. As she says in her cutout: “Seared Elephant, Grilled Chicken, and Flayed Unicorn.” She must have ate those 3. As for Bobby Bearhug, she is still alive, as there is not a scream at the end. She also remembers us, and asks us to take her with us the next time, also saying that shes “lost.” This indicates that she knows who we are, and she might have given us the idea to leave the factory before the “Hour of Joy.” Also, she is most likely hiding out somewhere, if she is still alive (hopefully.) Picky Piggy is most likely alive too, as there is no scream, and she said she was still hungry, and asked us to be friends. The next chapter is rumored to be in a fairground type setting, as for one of the posters showed. (Not confirmed.)
This is just a THEORY. Thanks for reading.🎉
That is a solid theory my friend and is something I haven't thought about!
It could be possible, and I guess it explains all the colored writing we saw before
What i think happened is that the others were hidden/moved by catnap, because the va of dogday is the same va of the guy behind the bigger bodies initiative, and therefore theres a reason to torture and kill him (despite how gruesome it is)
Ollie is so not what he seems.
Even if he is WHO he says he is, a friend, he is not WHAT he is assumed to be, a boy/child.
You're telling me that Ollie survived in an underground bunker without food or water for over a decade, AND remained a Child with the same trill prepubescent voice?
No, he's a Toy, or something else.
As someone allredy say Ollie can be a nickname for Elliot and if he is the prototype well make sence since the prototype can problably do a different voice easy enough
Thank you! That's what I said. Most adults WITH security clearance were killed. Even if he's a kid that survived, he'd be a teen by now, sounding older. And in that case, how would he survive a decade without food or water? Judging by how Poppy sounds, I'm thinking Ollie is at best a toy or AI.
And if every other toy feeds on others to survive, Kissy and Poppy and potentially Ollie had to as well to survive the decade.
@@BeBlessedGames Poppy was in a slumber im pretty sure, she doesn't need all of the other things the other toys needs, she was the first succesful expierement making her different from every other toy in general, The doctors couldn't perfect the other toys how they did poppy, that's how she can speak so clearly and wasn't going around helping the other toys kill, she also said she hated the screams of others and that they were agonizing to her, even so she's just a doll with a soul i think , not a toy with organs and bones.
No shit sherlock
Maybe Ollie is an artificial intelligence like boogie bot.
14:57 I find it interesting how Kissy reacts to Huggy’s death being mentioned. She glanced quickly at Poppy, like some sort of flinch, then just brought her knee up. They probably were close in some way.
He may have been a mindless monster, but he was Her mindless monster.
Also, the fact Poppy said nonchalantly saying Huggy died in front of Kissy is just rude. I forgot if Huggy was Kissy's brother or boyfriend but hearing that make her sad.
Also, Huggy is not actually dies, as in Chapter 2, you can see his furs are crawling around on the sewer's wall. Either he escaped from the bottom pit or the prototype brought his body to the top like he did to Mommy and Catnap.
I have a feeling Huggy will be back as part of Prototype's body or maybe on his more damage part of his body.
It seems fishy, maybe he didnt die at all and Kissy knows it thats why she reacts that way
@@take_another_tripoh wow that actually seems plausible
isn’t kissy huggy’s canon lover? ofc she’d be upset by her lover’s death being mentioned
I'm not getting over how Poppy Playtime started as the face of Mascot Horror's decline only for Chapter 3 to turn the whole game around. Dogday and Miss Delight are just horrific and I love it.
I want poppy to say AWWWWWWW F*amily friendly word* like that exactly, I don’t know why or in what context, but it would add some comedy to a hard, terrifying game
@@UndercoverGCHACPSagent2177 Hah! Yes!
@@thegrandxbunny2073 I finally have an idea for the context, they’re almost in the laboratory, when the prototype somehow gets a hole in the floor, you fall through, as you’re falling, poppy says it, then you must climb the skyrail as you TEACH POPPY HOW TO SWEAR, you end up in the “cozy buddies reading nook” where it becomes more like a survival horror game, occasionally a cold, repetitive voice will call out to you, you survive by eating mushrooms, some are toxic, if you consume a certain amount of toxics, you will begin to choke as ViVo Vulture, the main villain RIPS OUT YOUR LIVER, after 3 “days” or light flickers, the objective is clear
Ok the last part was just my idea for chapter four
I think I might have a very disturbing and dark theory about this chapter regarding the smaller versions of the smiling critters:
remember how we saw cribs in that one room? One would assume Playtime co. is experimenting on babies right? And you say that might be too dark? Well if that assumption is true..........remember how the smaller smiling critters crawl at you to attack you? Well babies crawl too, right? ......my theory is what if Playtime co. did experiment on babies and their poor innocent souls are trapped in those smaller smiling critters left to rot in the playhouse?
They don't speak and they follow and listen to the bigger one in order to be fed
They don’t speak, that is true, but they do make noises that sound eerily similar to a baby
Honestly, it would not surprise me. This whole game is just fucked from start to finish.
Feels like Wellington Wells... From We Happy Few
I genuinely wouldn’t even surprised if that were true after seeing all the other messed up things Playtime Co. has done.
I think the protagonist is Richard. If the hero was part of the top employees, the head of some department, there would be no reason for Ollie to explain all the details nor provide all the set of keys. Polly would not be so nice to them if they were one of the scientists. She wouldn't say, "They didn't do anything wrong" and we wouldn't need "explaining". Also, a scientist should know of the red smoke and its functions. It would make more sense if the protagonist was an employee of a lower rank, a cleaner or a supplier. They did help with experiments in a way, but they did not outright harm the kids. But the monsters are still angry and the blame still falls upon the protagonist. We keep getting clips of Richard. I don't remember ever hearing a tape of him dying, so it may be that he is still alive. And, he is the protagonist. By a stroke of luck, he was absent on the day the Hour of Joy commenced. When he goes back to work, he finds it has been shut down. He tries to contact his colleagues and friends from work, but he can't reach them. Now, years later, he is invited back. He is seeing what he had unknowingly helped create. In a way, he feels responsible, and he must now help right what was wrong.
I think so to because if you think about it in the old chapter it seem like mommy long legs also remember our protagonist but still holds a grudge correct me if im wrong
For now until it’s confirmed otherwise to be untrue and we’re actually playing as somebody else instead, I’m convinced that we are playing as Richard. Aside from your logic, it would also make sense for someone who doesn’t have a huge role in the company to miss a couple days where they wouldn’t be needed as much as the other more crucial employees.
Like I’m imagining interns who come to get some experience in the toy industry by working with a powerhouse company such as Playtime Co. (because they were a hugely popular toy company with lots of successful toy products) Or the cashiers who manned the registers at both the toy shop on the surface by the entrance we enter through as well as the the toy shop in Playplace.
Or the people who took care of the kids throughout the day, who were otherwise unaware of the horrible experiments being conducted on them. Or the tour guides who welcomed groups of visitors and took them on tours around the factory not knowing of its dark secrets.
I’m also imagining that it’s hard to get your normal janitors to clean up the blood and guts from the children who were experimented upon and maybe even killed by the scientists. You probably either need outside specialists who somehow won’t question what happened to the kids, or you need your own staff to clean up their messes to avoid risking suspicion and investigation by people/the public outside of the scientific research department.
The more we hear about Richard the more I believe this. I always found it odd that they included him in the VHS tapes, especially cause they always seem so disconnected from the narrative.
Doesn’t Dogday kinda sound like Rich though?
The only thing is when the protagonist was tripping from the gas the TV scene indicates they came back due to their guilty conscience. From this chapter it's shown that there's a possibility that even head of departments like Stella are not all aware of what's happening to the children, so I don't think Richard would know enough to have a guilty conscience.
Of course, we heard he may be getting a better position from this chapter, and we also know he's mellowing out because of his family and possibly because his experience of being demoted, so maybe he will be promoted to a position where he's aware of the situation and didn't do the right thing? It's strange if his friend knows what horror is in playcare yet still gives Richard the position seeing he's a good person though.
31:36 i think why catnap suddenly bursted into flames is because the red smoke he produces is not only hallucinogenic but it is very flamable.
That still doesn't explain then why the GAS FLOODED room didn't just detonate then.
Likelyhood is:
The Gas emitter unit Catnap uses has two separate parts, one is the red gas, the other is perhaps a unit to further add pressure to the Gas release, increasing the range and speed it can fill a room. It is however only uaed for the initial burst of gas, and said additive IS THE FLAMABLE element.
Without proper air ventilation, rooms become lethal gas chambers of red gas, but not the flamable additive
@@andrehashimoto8056Good theory, You can see in the cutscene that the top hatch opens and all the gas somehow exits the room and only catnap bursts into flames because he attempts to release a concentrated amount of gas from his mouth while being electrocuted by the green hand. Your theory of and added flamable element could be right tho.
@@crowbarfish0812That makes sense, but i think catnaps synthetic fur will be too greasy and wet for it to immediately burst into flames. You can see in the footage that he only bursts into flames just as he was releasing red gas from his mouth.
@@yourbiggestfan4789 his fur being greasy and wet may actually add on to why he immediately burst into flames. since he got electrocuted and all
@@jaslikeart could be, idk man why I am thinking so much about a fictional cat bursting into flames.
26:40 - I think Stella knew what was going on, but she didn't have as much control as her title made it sound and/or she didn't have the power to argue against a child being taken for testing. That would explain why she was both caught off guard to find that Jeremy was no longer available for adoption and why she sounded so grave when all she could say is "I'm sorry" to the potential parents. She knows what "testing" means, she knows she has no ability to override the scientists' decisions and she knows that it can all happen without prior warning, and there's nothing she can do about it.
i wonder why CatNap said "leave playcare or i'm coming for you." it insinuates that CatNap didn't intend to kill the protagonist unless they directly opposed the prototype, and actually offered them a way out if they just left then.
"The hour of joy" is a pretty horrific scenario and the more you think about it the more disturbing it gets. I can't imagine the sheer amount of trauma that the children inside experienced when it occurred.
They were safely kept away, most likely guarded by catnap, the prototype, and a few other toys. NOT all the toys knew of the location of the children since some of them would kill them, so only a few trusted ones knew where they were.
At least they have a heart and won't harm kids well some of them
@@TheOneWhoAsked33 it would still be horrible for the kids to hear the agonizing screams and pleas of the adults, giving how Poppy heard them for what feels like forever it would probably have been the same with the kids.

14:59 interesting to see Kissy look over at Poppy when she said we killed Huggy. not sure if that points to anything deeper like a friendship of sorts, or just some sort of bond since Kissy is called Huggys better half. it’s the way she also seems to curl in on herself.
Personally my favorite scene of this chapter is when huggy comes out of the TV, when watching the VHS tapes normally the game doesn't throw anything at you as you're safe, so they way it flips that really catches you off guard.
I'll admit. Even Huggy's introduction didn't frighten me like that did. That's straight up nightmare fuel.
Man, wtf is this scientist on about “you belong here Theodore” that’s just depressing and cruel

I worked at a toy shop that sold Poppy Platytime toys and by far the most disturbing aspect of this franchise are the 4-7 year olds who are big time into this and somehow the parents know absolutely nothing about what exactly this franchise is
They are only into the stupid click farm videos that are made and dont actually play the games or watch the vhs tapes
My 7yo niece actually likes the gameplays with no commentary, I asked her some days ago when the 3rd chapter came out and she said its not scary 🤷
She even has a Huggy Wuggy drawing on her room
@@OnlySushiCat thats like 1 kid and they probably don't even understand whats going on lol
@@OnlySushiCatlock her up, that's a psychopath in the making
That or she hasn't gained sentience yet, kids don't get the concept of them existing until a certain point
I mean, it was the same thing with a lot of current teenagers and Fnaf.
Now I honestly think that the CatNap dolls being shipped and having the Red Smoke installed in them wasn’t an accident, but was instead INTENTIONAL. My reason for this is because maybe Playtime Co were tired of trying to find orphans and instead use other children that had families and use them as test subjects. And considering that it is currently unknown if Elliot Ludwig really did something with that kid’s body in his house or it was planted there to frame him after his death, it’s very possible that Playtime Co would use children that have families as part of their test subjects.
I think the only reason why the catnap dolls had the red smoke was to nit frighten some of the orphans, I mean the alive Catnap is terrifying so having these smaller catnap dolls that gave the red smoke out would be perfect for the company
I like to think CatNap always looked all skinny and boney with the wide mouth and creepy eyes. So the kids just absolutely loved having this massive hellbeast come out of the depths of playcare and emit gas that gives them horrific nightmares.
In the hour of joy video Catnap already looked skinny
I just realised that catnap’s defeat is SO much worse when you think about it because he was burned and electricity caused it exactly like what happened with Theodore forcing him to relive what he previously experienced before becoming catnap
Exactly!!!
That was my first relavation when I saw that scene😢
I mean catnap aint innocent either so I can't feel bad for him too much
@@woozee4123that’s how I felt at first, but I think being transformed into Catnap could’ve messed with his head in some tragic ways… so while catnap is a real pain in the butt, the spirit of Theo inhabiting him is definitely a poor, tortured soul
ngl i didnt notice that when watching 8bitryan's playthrough.
True.
The added cannibalism was crazy; both staff and toys being eaten makes the games story all the more dark
Fr
Honestly the cannibalism part confused me more. Did they really have enough staff & toys to go around for 10 years? If it was like... 2 years that might've made more sense. Also, does Poppy also have to eat and just hasn't all this time? I would understand why she wants revenge then.
@@ivyscripting7240 possible explanation would be that they didn't need to eat to survive, but still retained the human instinct to hunger for food
@@ivyscripting7240 that's the thing tho, we see other toys ripped apart around as the chapters go on, so it makes sense that once the humans died, the toys turned to eating each other. Looks what happened to dog days and what he says about catnap feeding the critters
@@jsanto210 that’s not my point though - I’m not saying them becoming cannibals is unrealistic, but that it’s nonsensical that this happened and they had enough people/toys to survive for 10 years. It’s a game so it’s whatever but it’s kind of a lazy point to add after establishing the story.
27:50 Catnap: LEAVE PLAYCARE, OR IM COMING FOR YOU.
Mike: The protagonist of then returns to the playcare.
Idk why I’m laughing at that lol
Catnap's speaking voice sounds like Jigsaw
Nobody mentions this but I find it quite cool to notice that when poppy is talking to the player with kissy. Kissy is displaying some self soothing responses. Cool little detail to show that she is stressed
Ollie speaking to the protagonist through a random phone in the PlayCare gives me The Mimic speaking to Cassie pretending to be Gregory in order to escape vibes. I personally believe that Ollie is actually just the prototype or something else pretending to help the protagonist but actually just trying to help himself escape (like with Theodore)
Ollie could simply be the phone itself.
the prototype is smart, he could very easily escape, he needs the player for something else
@@TheOneWhoAsked33maybe he wants a human body?
I doubt the prototype is Ollie, while the prototype was able to mimic voices, it wasn't able to hold the voice for more than a few seconds. I think Ollie may be a new toy, or maybe even one we've already heard about
@@Tinkywinky738 a thing that big, collecting the giant mascots bodies to become a human? unlikely

This chapter made me want to cry at parts. I know it’s fictional but it was heartbreaking to hear kissys screams, seeing dogday nearly eaten alive and then the critters crawl into his wounds and just see and hear his pain.
This is a very well made chapter. Heartbreaking at times but very very well made. I now see why it took the game makers so long to release it
I am SO glad that they made this game actually scary, in terms of story and just gameplay itself.
The smaller critters are for sure infants. The cribs point to babies and toddlers and the way the critters crawl and sorta have a baby babble, it all just seems like they're babies

I do like that it’s confirmed that The Prototype is just like The Mimic from Ruin even though he doesn’t copy people’s behavior like The Mimic

Darker. Yet. Darker.
I’ve been on the internet for too long
@@whispering_butterflies4214 If only you got a flare gun or something
Chapter 3 had such a different vibe compared to the others, mainly because it really delves deep into the horrors that were going on, I mean ofc the lore is brought up a little in the earlier chapters but this one ESPECIALLY really hits you with it all.
Chapter 3 was for sure one of the best games i've played or watched.. DogDay's death, CatNap disfigured body, The red smoke arc, getting closer to Experiment 1006 (Prototype),The red smoke lore, heck the whole lore! Its just so scary... Much scarier than 1 & 2.
so the reason Poppy diverted the train, is because she knew the Prototype would kill the player on the spot the second they tried to get out of the factory, so in a sense, she saved them.
I think that poppy didn't expect the player to live against mommy and huggy and considered the player as a recruit, poppy's very useful helper to finally end everything
@@wiltos972 well she is the daughter of the late Eliot Ludwig, so I'm sure she had her reasons for keeping the player from leaving, because of the threat of the Prototype.
Even so…I still kinda think she is hiding something. I know I know I sound like an idiot right now, but like I still have a bad feeling she gonna try and pull something!👀
I don't think so. At one point, Miss Delight and Catnat give the player the chance to go home, telling the player to go away, but bc the player didn't, that's when they try killing them.
@@user-rc9mr6zk2v Agreed. I got a suspicion that even *if* The Prototype was behind the Hour of Joy, it was out of revenge for all the suffering he and the others went through. I think Poppy and co. are loyal to the company above all else, and they're taking advantage of the protagonist to get rid of those like Miss Delight and Catnap who want to destroy it all.
Catnap: “LEAVE PLAYCARE, OR IM COMING FOR YOU.”
Player: “ *proceeds to go to the playcare*
Idk why but that made me laugh lol
Catnap: wtf are doing back here????
There were way too many points where somebody says "Watch out for Catnap, he's coming." Only for Catnap to do nothing.
It is worth mentioning, Catnap, He'll just a child. All be it in a giant monster's body, Who knows he's big scary and has a lot of power down here, Not saying he wouldn't kill you , but he also probably thinks "i'm being cool & messing with him with threats"
@@ZayJayPlays He does put you away from the area, like a real guard would do when u get spotted with a friends. "Watch out! the guard is coming" Proceed to just lead trespasser outside.

Ollie has to be the prototype. If the "Hour of Joy" took place 10 years before the current events in the story, how could Ollie be the sole survivor and still sound like a 10 year old. In theory Ollie would have to be at least 15. It's also very unlikely that a child would be able to survive something as horrific as the "Hour of Joy" but not an adult. It seems like the prototype is using the voice of a child, that's dead, to lure and trap the player, Kissy Missy, and Poppy.
They had cribs there, which means babies were there, which means it could just be a child, do I think it is? No, do I think it’s the prototype? No, I think that would be the cheapest cop out ever
@@giannismith5041 as we heard in the tape, the prototype cannot speak one sentence in one voice or in one go. also, i think ollie is a ghost or toy, if u take the dead body of a kid radio recording we heard in home sweet home
I personally think that Stella knew about the experiments and all but was just unaware that Jeremy was taken for testing. Think about it, in chapter 2 all the performance reviews were supposed to go to Stella, meaning at the very least she knew that the games were actually tests for the kids. Stella couldn't have gotten to her current position without knowing about the Bigger Bodies Initiative, and even if she didn't know a lot about it she definitely knew all the giant toys were organic living beings, and may have been able to put together that children with assigned toys were going to be turned into toys depending on how they scored in the games. In the vhs tape where Stella is talking with the couple planning to adopt Jeremy, she sounded very positive that Jeremy would be getting adopted, and sounded genuinely surprised when she saw he was taken for "testing." This might have meant that she assumed Jeremy wouldn't be taken for the Bigger Bodies Initiative because he scored average or below average on the games meaning that the chances of him being chosen were slim to none. I view it as very unlikely that she knew literally nothing about it, as it's implied that all the people with slides at the start of chapter 2 played some role in the Bigger Bodies Initiative or at the very least knew what it was meant for. If I had to take a guess as to when she learned about it, I would say she learned about it when she started working in the Game Station because obviously she would have met/seen Mommy Long Legs, and was probably fully introduced to the initiative when she became the head of Playcare, learning how the Bigger Bodies were made and were child experiments, as well as learning the Bigger Bodies individual roles (Huggy with security, Mommy with running the game station, Boxy with removing lower employees who knew too much, ect.) This could also help explain Stella's uncertainty with having CatNap help run Playcare, other than the obvious reasons of it being a massive cat toy that releases a gas that causes children to fall asleep and hallucinate. She has probably seen how violent the other experiments are and worried that CatNap would lash out towards the kids, or at least cause kids to become emotionally distressed.
Either way it's just my theory, but I can see most of it being pretty lore accurate.
I feel like it’s plausible that she didn’t know. Because so many employees didn’t. I don’t think they could have so many employees stay working there if they didn’t keep quiet about the human experimentation. I mean, imagine being told that the toys you work around are orphan children. You’d probably quit on the spot but they need you to stay quiet so the easiest way to avoid that kind of a scenario is to not let anyone know. I think if she knew, she wouldn’t have even read the reason he wasn’t able to be adopted. Because what does testing imply other than running medical tests on someone? With how we were introduced to her character in the first chapter, I can see how she COULD be seen as someone who would be okay with such things but that tape conversation sounded to me like even she was unsure of what testing even meant. I could totally be wrong but I think Stella is going to slowly realize that Playtime Co. is a sinister place.
Edit: I know there are other ways testing can be used, like paper exams and stuff but why would a kid in school testing be unable to be adopted so that’s why I didn’t include it before. Just added this so people understood my thought process
Catnap: LEAVE PLAYCARE OR I WILL FIND YOU
......
"The protagonist returns to the playcare-"
I find that truly hilarious
Bladie do be spitting 🗣️🔥💯
I mean, he didn't kill him and only wanted him to leave
if i heard catnaps voice.... I WOULD LEAVE (they chose such well suited voices and voice actors btw)
Like catnaps not in the wrong here he clearly warned them
I like to imagine that catnap actually protected the children during the hour of joy, maybe leading them to a room so that they could be safe during all the chaos. But without a food source, they must've starved there and slowly began to die, this must've hurt catnap alot. So he must've used the red smoke to put them all to sleep, to end their suffering and maybe it wasn't nightmarish creatures they saw when they were put to sleep, but one last wholesome moment with the one who protected them for so long, catnap.
That’s just depressing…
He did protect them as shown in one of the tapes with the encounter with Ms delight, and most likely put them in a safe room. However I believe that the intro episode of the smiling critters is the children in that room scared of the chaos going outside and happy to see catnap which he then put them all the sleep with the red smoke
Oh may I ask which or where can I find the VHS Tape?@@sooperflower6860
I also thought he might have protected them, but then i remembered the news broadcast at the beginning of the game that ends with "one thing is certain: your children are not safe with catnap" and now I wonder if there's more truth to that line than I realized. I know the miss delight tape says he kept them away from her because he knew she would kill them, but im struggling to imagine what else he would have done with them.
@@sonjathemango I wonder though if that's regarding the hallucinations the red smoke gave along with the other side effects.
I was genuinely surprised that this chapter is really dark and now we have a. Clear idea of what was going on. Favorite part was that we finally saw the hour of joy and the shot of all the dead employees was crazy. Only thing is if still many kids are playing this game or they moved on since chapter 3 did take a while
It wasn't just the employees though. That's the tragedy here. IT's like Poppy said: The guilty, the innocent... it didn't matter.

No, he wouldn’t…In a last resort to revive his daughter he mixed the Poppy flower chemicals and the anatomy of his daughter. It worked! He brought her back to life.
Harley Sawyer AKA The Doctor, someone who had a brilliant idea to start a project, The Bigger Bodies Initiative. This idea was cruel but he didn’t care. Quote, “ We can increase our workforce and decrease our lawsuits If the people we have working, ”…Thousands of experiments upon thousands! Elliot Ludwig now having his daughter preserved in a glass case so he would never lose he again…With love and care Ludwig announced…PLAY-CARE! His very own on-site orphanage! The Doctor saw this as a chance to fulfill his project…The Bigger Bodies Initiative.
The Prototype, now Elliot commanded one of the children, Theodore. He told him an unknown order to my understanding. On August 8th, 1995. A massacre, . One by one the guilty and innocent were slaughtered. Keith Pierre agreed with the Doctor and sent people to extract toy parts and make more. Now you come in. 10 years later. The year 2005 you come and return to these familiar halls. You worked here after all! You walked in to save the employees.
I will give props to Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 for blatantly explaining certain events that unfolded without exactly giving us the reason Instead of having us keep guessing what happened. Finally a horror game that treats us with intelligence.
Honestly a rarity. Like other ganes are often vague about timings or certain details without directly admitting to it. The game made it very clear what has happened but not the why which will get explored later. Enough details to feel satisfied but enough left out so one can want more.
While it technically was confirmed in chapter 2, their was some modicum of doubt on the player being a worker or not but the fact that many characters, and even the player hallucinations and nightmares, confirming the player was indeed a worker helped to shed light into them.
The hour of joy also being seen showing that this wasn't just a break out but a mass slaughter of everyone I'd such a surprise since other mascot horror ganes never try to show something so overt. In fact, alot if the gane was very overtly dark and creepy. The hone sweet home nightmare was genuinely such a good sequence. Dogday being eaten inside out is gruesome.
Like this chapter did not shy away from anything besides identities of the poppy kissy, ollie, the prototype and the player (who I buy into being rich given how he seems to fit the Most)
Or just simply make things clear instead of make us spend days make tons of different theories and guesses.
I second to that. This game’s story personally gives me some outlast vibes
I agree. They don't shy away that us the players are right, we already figuring it out. Other horror games will continue so hard at being cryptic
Also consider this: Poppy actually showed us the Hour of Joy. FNAF never showed us the Bite of 87.
The trash where capnap threw us in might be where the factory employee's bodies were thrown in after the Hour of Joy.
Perhaps
No poppy said that they took the bodies down to eat them.
@@Devlin_Bro And Catnap put us in there to eat us when they're hungry
@@TuanAnhLe-wn7gk no the bodies would be crushed thin and wouldn’t be salvageable as all the guts and stuff would be smeared over the walls
No, I think they are in the deepest depth of playtime. I feel like they've been hinting that since we saw "the stairway to hell" which means the final chapter will be that much more terrifying.
Poppy’s cry for kissy gave my goosebumps
1:59 Every time I hear the child, I think "gregory"
I really enjoy the little detail that the players nightmares and hallucinations are about Huggy Wuggy. Maybe the fight with Huggy left the most impact on them, or they were involved with the Huggy experiments and it's left them riddled with guilt. It's interesting that it's Huggy when Mommy Long Legs and now Catnap were also a huge threat.
I still think it would be interesting if as a worker our player was turning into a Huggy Wuggy and they survived because the Prototype. The reason I say this is because we know the toys breathe, fall damage doesn’t hurt the player, the fact it’s almost like we don’t have bones and the prototype seems to have some sort of connection as they can wake you up and tell you to get up. I know that’s most likely not what it is but knowing some adults were put into the teachers and even other toys give me those ideas. Idk the idea the prototype had no control but then it started calling them back suddenly. Sadly I know I’m wrong but it would have been cool knowing we became what we created
Yes I think the player does have guilt because in the second time we're under the smoke's influence it says it
I like to believe that it's a testament to the fact that Huggy Wuggy chase scene is still the scariest in the entire series and even the player got desensitised to other horrors of this facility after being chased by him😅
@@compassrose1466 fall damage doesn't hurt the player because the grabpack 2.0 is equipped with a jetpack, remember?
Nearly cried when DogDay was eaten inside by the small critters...
The chase was terrifying but also depressing
@@Lucashatcher24how you know?
The wiki and listening to the tapes
Plus if your see the voice actor @@HarmonyOC
@@Lucashatcher24 Wait how tho....
It's safe to assume that the other Smiling Critters were also made into Bigger Bodies, but they were destroyed and devoured long before the protagonist arrives.
It still really dark how he goes out. Not with a bang, but with a *screams of pure agony and suffering*
31:50
A neat little detail I noticed is that, the electricity that the player passed into CatNap, causes the red smoke to be set ablaze, which is how CatNap is set on fire
I just wanna note, that Ollie never actually claimed to be a child, and considering 10 years have passed since the hour of joy, he'd be quite plder than what he sounds like. So either it's the prototype fooling literally everyone, or more likely Ollie is a Toy who was made shortly before the hour of joy. That would also explain how he was somewhat unsure of how many smiling critters there initially were.
I’m honestly thinking Ollie ‘is’ the phone not on the other line, the way they talk sounds like those old ‘talkie telephones’ from back in the day
that’s an interesting thought!
If he was only the phone, when how would be able to send all those keys? Also wouldn’t he warn the player not to drop or break the phone under any circumstance just in case if he was?
How would he see?
@@ginab662 i was thinking about that and my theory is that its triggered via a signal, phones double as remotes as well at least thats what I’m thinking. I think his eyes are those googly eyes but also the cameras its possible he’s in the system but has very VERY limited access
@@artinstructor4020 I’m thinking the camera’s he could be in the system itself but has extremely limited access due to the decay of the place
I just realized why the main character survived The Hour of Joy:
They took a day off from work
Lol
Lmao
Pretty much.
That’s honestly a terrifying concept
Like our character would’ve been part of the slaughter
@@danthebluetank6636sandy hook shooting a mother told a girl she could take the day off of school but she wanted to go to say goodbye to her friends and had to see most of her friends die while pretending to play dead
The voice actor for Clair Harper was amazing, had me tearing up imagining what the kids were put through in this game.
I love what theyve done with the game. Having a darker storyline is definitely beneficial by a game like this
the fact this all happened behind the poppy flower door (mostly talking about the hour of joy) seen in chapter one is just terrifying and sad. Every person died there, even the innocent. If you realize why that flower is there and what it means, it really hits hard.
"The poppy is the enduring symbol of remembrance, poppies are used as a symbol around the world to remember those who died in military service"
Well, the hour of joy didn't all happen behind the poppy, as we can see huggy (at the entrance of the establishment) kill a couple of people. But you do make a good point here.
It's sad because they won't be remembered at all since no one knows what happened that's when the player comes in
@@Highdisordermortal oh yeah true! didn't consider that bit
In the hour of joy we can see Huggy kill people in the main room where we first see him and at the end we see bodies littered around the toy machine where Huggy starts chasing us and on the catwalk beside the Poppy door
Flanders Fields poem, kids are forced to memorize it in school here in canada
kissy's screams are so gut wrenching, i really hope she's ok
They really were made me so sad for her cause she seems like she’s a good toy or person inside so hopefully she didint die and is just injured 🤕.iam thinking missy could be Stella
What if she's the antagonist for pt. 4 like a mini boss. Perhaps it's time they present the fanbase a chapter where they fight two bigger bodies experiments
i hope that in chapter 4 poppy and the player save her and they escape all together
My guess is that the prototype killed her in order to scoop out her remains. You know waste not, want not
Honestly, I hope she is OK. I may be evil, but me and her never had beef. She barely comes to my orphanage that often so I rarely see her and she is not disrespecting me in anyway yet.
5:19 that close up of catnaps jumpscare literally almost just gave me a ding dang heartattack
I KNOW IT’S NOT EVEN 2 MINUTES IN BUT THE LINE “our fearless protagonist realises they’ve only got a few seconds before they get PANCAKED” I CAN’T. THE FACT YOU SAY “PANCAKED” AHHHH IT’S THE BEST THING EVER
If you listen closely to The Prototype wrapping up his convo with Harley Sawyer, you could tell he's mimicking his voice.
So, I'm starting to think Ollie may very well be the Prototype. I mean, ask yourself this question: "How the hell is a kid still alive after all these years?"
Just because it's a kids voice, doesn't mean it's an actual kid. I believe Ollie is literally just a phone toy like the picture you see in the top corner every time you're on the phone with him.
@@floofikite6524 Oh, that's a good theory, and it kinda makes sense now that I think about it.
@@floofikite6524 one thing to debunk him being the phone is how is he able to give you the keys you need when he's right next to you.
@@golden3065 He could be an entity that exists within software, meaning he is capable of controlling electronics to communicate and dispense items at certain locations.
@@EyeQurstythe game plays in a time where software was practically non-existent and everything was analogue.
Some things I’m thinking about/noticed:
Ollie is most definitely another toy not a child (though most likely has a child spirit like the rest of them). He includes himself when he says that Catnap even kills the toys if they go against the Prototype. “Even us if we’re not careful” (or something along those lines).
The Prototype is definitely an amalgamation of different parts though I don’t think that’s all that the different voices were doing. I think it was also showing that the Prototype doesn’t have a voice box/voice of their own so they have to record other people’s voices in order to put sentences together. This is seen when the Scientist’s voice is played back when the Prototype also says that he learns from him just as much as the Scientist learns from the Prototype. Additionally, this just shows how truly smart the Prototype is; he’s always learning from and observing others.
I wonder if saving Theo was truly out of kindness or if it was apart of his plan from the beginning. If the Prototype always wanted revenge for how he was treated then escaping wouldn’t have helped him accomplish that; staying and accruing an army/following would. Like Poppy says, the Prototype always seems to be aware of everything. I’m sure he knew that Catnap would fall in the end.
I wonder if the picture Kissy is holding is truly who she once was or if it’s a child who she was close to before and after turning into Kissy since the drawing on the wall says that the two, Kissy and a child, were best friends.
Lastly, I’m still in shock over Dogday; by far, the most gruesome death in Poppy Playtime to date. I couldn’t help but notice that before the critters took over his body, his eye sockets were completely dark and then afterwards, they resembled Catnap’s with the little ring of light in the eye sockets. I wonder why this is and what that says about Catnap.
There’s so much to talk about with this chapter and I’m already so hype for chapter 4 though that’s probably going to take another year or two (or longer 😭😭).
maybe it's just my impression, but when he says "good luck", every time he says it it seems to have the exact same cadence and tone as the others, maybe this could make it clear that it is the prototype that is speaking using already recorded vocal lines?
That’s actually so scary/chilling to think about. Ollie actually being the Prototype who’s trying to “help” you.
This type of voice recordings reminds me of Lapis from Steven Universe when she was still in the mirror.
Crack theory: Ollie or Doggy is Keven and the kid asking about him in the audio was either Kissy Missy or Theo.
My theory is that Ollie is literally the phone. They transferred his brain into the phone itself so you're just, like, carrying his body about the place. And because he is physically wired in to the facility he knows a lot about it and can find stuff for you.
That’s interesting. Sort of like how some of the machines are alive though they don’t have voices. Maybe it has to do with the medium? Though if he is the phone, can he really get killed/be blamed for not worshipping the Prototype like Catnap wanted? He wouldn’t really be able to do anything besides speak when being used.
I hope the game does eventually provide answers instead of just spooky implications. Like how they grew flesh and teeth beyond the limits of the donors. Why some animals have adult voices despite apparently coming from children (although Catnaps broken voice suggests all voices can be artificial- perhaps Ollie is actually an adult) why their teeth are always sharp - and not visible until attacking. What they ate before the Hour of Joy. (And the need to eat seems to imply that both Poppy and Kissy ate those bodies and possibly other animals/children too. Where are the remaining kids, Poppy? (Maybe they escaped and grew up to be the protagonist).
Why were the teachers excluded from eating the dead bodies? Were they seen as complicit? Even though they were experiments too?
Maybe a series of webcomics or something…
17:32 You're kinda wrong about a few details. Her sisters attacking her for food is what causes her to create her weapon to defend herself. She goes insane from this and few other things you mentioned. She doesn't move in the dark and when you're looking at her because that's how she survived her sisters. She found out if she stood still long enough they thought she was dead.
I dont trust that ollie kid. Hes gotta be the prototype. Security breach ruin taught me to never trust a kid on a walkie talkie
Funny you say that - I swear Ollie sounds just like Gregory on the radio in RUIN.
@@DeadDancerssame voice actor I believe
@@DeadDancersOllie's name is just Eilliot Ludwig without the 5

Glad someone recognized it. After hearing a backwards radio signal and it being played forward, it’s probably the original owner. Ollie may or may not be trustworthy. Then there’s Poppy…👀 she’s questionable at best
as a huge horror fan, i love how dark and disturbing this chapter turned, but at the same time i feel bad for all the little kids that are fans of this game that are going to be TRAUMATIZED
Honestly they have no business in here...
Is it rated M?
Neither did half the Fnaf fans tbh lol
@@Kirasfoxyeah but the fnaf were not like this chapter bro this was legit scary and disturbing and the atmosphere was terrifying 😂
Well they kinda need to be traumatized just like us with fnaf and the other
I think Catnap thought differently in his final moments. Prototype saved Catnap as a kid after he got injured from electric hand. When Catnap got hurt again because of it, he hoped he would be saved again by his deity with a bow towards a gentle hand... only to realize too late the hand was not so gentle this time.
For being a Smiling Critter with the big, forced smile, he had not enough time to use it to scream as the Prototype revealed its true intention...
Quick theory: since kissy is probably killed by prototype, and her soul consumed into him, she might be a weakness that we can exploit in chapter 4 if there is a boss fight or some other way to use her.
can we just talk about how horrifying miss delight looks? like holy dude, poppy playtime has upgraded so much and i am here for it!
im ngl im more scared of the prototype bc it reminds me of other mother from coraline or the nightmare version of catnap...
Let’s hope chapter 4 is horrifying too!
@@vlksuu Now I'm reminded of that abomination from Coraline again 😂. I was terrified of her back when I watched it with my siblings in gradeschool 😶🌫️.
A few things im confused about: was she ever human, were the other teachers human? Or were they all toys designed to be teachers? Why do the toys feel hunger? And what caused miss Delight to go cray cray and want to kill the kids?
The deeper we descend into the factory the darker the inhabitants get
Fun fact: while CatNap is burning, you can actually hear child screams.
Poor Theo
@@SabinaCabanerowhy he is catnap?
@@sarahbenzaoui A boy named Theodore Grambell once lived in the orphanage. He was on the list of potential candidates for the next project by the scientists. The prototype befriends him In order to help him escape the orphanage or Theo would be a victim of the scientists cruel experiment. But Theo used the grab pack with the electric hand and accidentally electrocuted himself and his life hung by a thread. The prototype then brought him back to the orphanage where the scientists continued their Bigger Bodies Experiment. And they chose Theo to be Catnap most likely because he was dying due to the result of being electrocuted . It's actually in the video at the 19:28 mark :)
@@SabinaCabanero ooo now I understand thank you so much and sorry for making you write all that ,that's sweet of you may god give you everything you want
The child screams makes it more exhilarating
This game went from 1 to 11 in just 3 chatpers- chapter 3 is scarier then 1 and 2! Ya gotta appreciate the work
Edit: dude rhat cry poppy made at the end breaks my heart
You have to give it to the developers of this game; it may be over a year between chapter releases but the sheer amount of content and workload that the players encounter justifies it
The only way Ollie can be an actual human helping the player is that he was one of the babies in the orphanage. Idk how he would’ve survived that long without proper medical/nutrition but that’s just a theory. Ollie has to be either a new toy that we’ve never seen, a baby from the orphanage or the prototype.
I mean, Catnap did say that the children were safe. Maybe they're with the Prototype. Maybe they're cannibals now. I hope not, but they could be.
@@matsvee6746 I mean the pit they’re going into for chapter 4 probably have the many bodies they hunted down so that could be a possibility. Creepy to even think about
It does seem like the Prototype cares about children, he saved Theo.
He could also be Boogie bot or hoppy hopscotch
Poppy says that Ollie will contact the player later, so it seems like Ollie is unlikely to be the Prototype and is more likely to be genuinely allied with Poppy since she knows him.
One horrific detail I noticed: As CatNap was burning, he screams. His scream sounds like a very distorted child's scream
That was just the sound of his already messed up voice box getting electrocuted and fried.
@@floofikite6524 Interesting. I like to imagine it as Theo freaking out about getting electrocuted again and nearly dying
@@quantum.code.x Also that.
@@quantum.code.xBro got PTSD from the silly green hand 😔
@@quantum.code.x Weird since it's been 10 years since the closure so he must be a teenager.

I wish catnap wouldve been shown more with how important he seemed to be in this chapter. I personally felt like the "boss battle" was anti climactic and they couldve done better.
However i think the moment with dogday redeemed this chapter fully. I'm obsessed with parasitic/infection/possession type stuff and that gave me chills and made me fangirl lol.
15:48 If Ollie is literally a talking phone as many have theorized, I don't see how he could lose signal.
