The Poppy Playtime Villain Is NOT Who You Think!

- Many people are under the assumption that Experiment 1006, The prototype, is the big bad villain of the Poppy Playtime series.
But after reviewing the evidence, I don't think that is true at all.
Not only do I think 1006 is not as bad as he seems, but I know think the villain of Poppy Playtime is much closer to home than we first thought.

I just want to point out that I recorded and began editing this one before Tom released his awesome theory on the Game Theory channel. So I didn't get to tackle whether 1006 could be Rich.
I like that theory too, I think both are possible, we'll have to wait for more clues!
When you have lemons, you burn the house down. Ludwig had lemon so he burned his company.
I think Rich is the one I am leaning toward atm, honestly, based on one of your previous videos that really didn't have much to do with the topic. Just something you had said settled in my brain. I haven't seen mentioned video, so I'll have to go find it. Thanks!
I think this is Rich
But, that would mean Rich did become Experiment 1-0-0-6 in the same time Bigger bodies initative kicked off in 1991, along with finishing Playcare and the release of Smiling Critters, Theo being in 4 years in body of BBI Catnap before Hour of Joy may happened.
Would be in Rich Averice's interests to leave the factory or save the kids (by becoming instruments of his revenge)?
Its kinda asking to be proven wrong in some aspects, unless there's way to know Rich Averice turned in 1006 well before BBI started?
Hey Tericho, I have a theory that Catnap actually sacrificed himself to the prototype. Really check out their body languages during that scene. What do you think?
If Ludwig was the Prototype, and Poppy was Ludwig's daughter, then that makes Poppy wanting to kill the Prototype so much worse...
Yea exactly I feel this strongly that it’s Ludwig and poppy’s the daughter that died which is so sad if it is true this theory cause it’s daughter against father
She was locked away though so possibly she has no idea he is the prototype. Also, if she does know he's Elliot maybe Poppy didn't want this second chance at life. Rationally no one wants to become an immortal toy to suffer a lifetime or being locked away. I think that will be the twist in the end, Poppy wants revenge for her own suffering.
@@AndreaGarcia-zz7jzagreed. But I feel like she would know it’s her faha
Do you not know the story of Fnaf
Also if you go to the game creators channel. The new music video, it shows the prototype offering its hand like he does to catnap, but poppy rejects and run away. That's when she gets locked up.
Most of the toys don't attack until you won't leave. Huggy doesn't attack until you try to go deeper into the factory. Both Catnap and Miss Delight don't attack until after they tell you to leave and you don't. Poppy is the only one who /doesn't/ want you to leave. She derails a whole ass train when you do try to leave. Definitely curious.
Mommy also didn't want us to leave on the train while you weren't participating in the Games.
Exactly! 👀 Like you said look at Ms Delight. Even in the state she was in she was completely capable of differentiating that we shouldn’t be there and she recognized the player who’s a worker coming back for their coworkers. Also I found it quite odd that Ollie would warn of us of them but they weren’t out to harm us till we delved deeper like you mentioned. Interesting 🧐
@@piplup10203854 Catnap spends most of his section just stalking you too. Seeing what you're doing. He could just be playing with his food, but I think he would've killed the pc long before that if he was. Plus why tell someone to leave if you're planning on killing them?
Do these toys actually respect the PC to some extent? If so, why? To quote FNAF: "What makes you so special?"
Does Dogday count? He tells us to leave and is immediately taken over and attacks us.
I didn't like Ollie from go. Too convenient, voice really out of place, too sudden, a too good to be true feeling. And that's minus the fact that the Prototype is a mimic. Was Poppy talking to Ollile before Ollie's phone showed up in ch3?
@@Resident-vj1ek But would she have derailed a whole train to do it? Most of the toys seem to have and be very comfortable in their own "territories." They don't seem to venture very far away from them. Also, did she not want us to leave to keep playing with her, or did she not want PC to leave the whole factory like Poppy does. A very good point to make indeed.
@@nothanks7263 Ollie is def evil and I don't trust that little bastard for a second
'Who is he? Why hasn't he attacked us? And how hard must it be to scratch an itch with those fingers?'
Got me rolling
😂
Elliot would have been drafted in Ww2. That's why I believe he had massive survival bunkers built under Playcare to protect the children in case of another war.
I believe he built the bunkers, then Playcare, then got the orphans and afterwards he died.
"Old staff" (like Thomas The Pediatrician) would obviously know it existed, but staff were "mysteriously disappearing" in Playcare so it seemed like more connections to Ludwig (outside of his face being covered and office key hidden) were being removed,
taking important knowledge with them too.
Tinned fruit & veg can last for up to 30 years in good condition.
If this imaginary bunker was continuously restocked then this could be where the kids (and maybe a few hand-picked staff to raise them) are trapped.
A question though: If Poppy needed Ludwig's key to access this platform at the end of Chapter 3, then how would ANYONE be down here?
We found that key hidden well away from here!
You would have to use the key, load some kids on, take the kids off and then ride the platform back up.
The only thing is, you could trap toys down there too.
The Prototype (sporting a shoulder now) can be anywhere it wants and live, so we're either attacking it's main form or just being led into a gauntlet of attacks for Poppy's amusement.
The game is called Poppy Playtime so one could easily assume we were lured back under a lie as Poppy's cult was losing this religious game she was playing against The Prototype.
Dogday called us "Poppy's angel", so who knows if Poppy told us to not show up for The Hour of Joy? We could have switched sides without knowing we did.
Then Poppy spread the lie about an angel to her followers.
Sorry for the ramble.
While I like the theory with Elliot being the Prototype, from the tape that told us about the Prototype disabling the camera in his room it sounded like the scientists weren’t aware of just *how* smart he was. Elliot was a genius, so if the scientist knew who the Prototype was before, they should’ve known that he most likely would retain his intelligence and take proper measures to keep him locked in. Unless they expected him to lose all memories and abilities and then were surprised that he was actually still this smart and inventive like he was as Elliot.
but why didn't they proforma on elliot
Mommy had the red hand that she took off the player, and CatNap had the green hand stuck on him in the final fight, so I think the prototype is looking for the right hand to escape with.
is there a mistake? according to the newspaper, his wife didnt break up with him after the loss of a family member. vice versa, she divorced him and later a family member died. if thats true, the divorce cannot be explained by unbearable grief, theres something else.
I noticed that too. The plot thickens!
Unless seeing the child getting sickly they didn't want to be there and selfishly/ or otherwise chose to leave the marriage and motherhood to save from grief
Kinda like leaving while it's good so you can remember the better times easier
@@omnialynne4719well, yea, maybe. but still rather strange. 1930 is the year of both Poppy Co foundation and the divorce. now imagine: we have a sick child and parents who are to divorce. the father of the sick child is dedicated to his newfounded company, we are told he is completely@omnialynne4719 well, yea, maybe. but still rather strange. 1930 is the year of both Poppy Co foundation and the divorce. now imagine: we have a sick child and parents who are to divorce. the father of the sick child is dedicated to his newfounded company, we are told that his time and attention completely to the company and it led to family trouble. and still the child stays with father, not mother?.. thats odd. the newspaper says divorce, so legal process, not just split up or that she went away.

@@user-fm7en9vt8q Maybe its not the daughter, she would have been full grown adult and not a child.
It may well have been Elliot's sibling.
OK I have several thoughts on this.
While the perspective of 1006 being Elliot Ludwig is interesting, I don't think that the Prototype is the hero at all. Keep in mind, that after the Hour of Joy, he established a survival of the fittest dictatorship, where the toys have to eat each other to survive for just one more day, and judging by the Kickin' Chicken cutout he has also prevented anyone from leaving.
This doesn't seem very heroic to me.
The Sleep Well video even addresses this in the lyrics of: "Artificial facade in a fraud of a god. We just wanted to heal but now our nightmares are real, now we'll never wake up for we're torn apart."
The Toys have been promised freedom, but 1006 deceived them and has placed them in just another cage (something which Game Theory calls out). 1006 placed them in this never ending nightmare. I definitely think that Poppy is the lesser evil here, if she's evil at all.
Yeah it definitely seems to be a case of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". I think that's what makes it a good story. But, the point I am making here is that he's not doing what he is doing because he is evil. He is trying his best to create the "paradise" that the song references too.
@@Tericho I mean it's been a decade and the factory is very close to falling apart, so if he has any sort-of plan he better hurry up. Because eventually the building will collapse, burying everyone in it.
...I also think that we are playing as Stella.
The music video is not canon to the story, the devs confirmed it
@@riskopalfi801Stela was VERY talkative, meanwhile we still haven’t said a word, of course that maybe the style of the game not revealing our voice, but I feel like it’s important
@riskopalfi801 that is a very interesting take on it. And would be the twist of the century if we were Stella. It would make so much sense, we would have known about everything going on there and there is no proof of Stella being there the day of the hour of joy. So very very well we could be Stella. Would also explain how all the toys/children recognize the player as an employee when seeing them cause if we was just a low level employee we would blended in with the rest but a high level like Stella would be recognizable. Mind has been blown
Sadly Tericho, I dont think it can be Elliot. I was on your side, thinking prototype was elliot, and We (the player) was Rich, but since then I have seen some evidence otherwise. There's a picture in Elliots office in Chapter 2 that has a drawing of the game station, with kissy missy, mommy longlegs hand on top, and it says "for elliot". If elliot was transfered as experiment 1006, he would not be around to see mommy be made, at least not AS ELLIOT, so why would children still make drawings for a man they think is deceased? They wouldn't. This drawing blatantly shows that Elliot was alive during Mommy Longlegs creation as 1222, so he CANNOT be the Prototype. The Prototype is Richard, the angry man we keep hearing in the tapes, with a care for kids and a high temper. "extreme intelligence and willingness to commit violence" seems great way to describe Rich.
I agree with it not being Elliot, but i dont think it's Rich too. He's very temperamental, and not the manipulative mastermind type. If he was the prototype, he'd kill all scientists himself and open the door to let the kids run free. I feel like the prototype is a person we haven't been introduced to yet.
But Rich knows that letting toys possessed by kids free to the public would be a bad idea. They would just get captured by humans and be experimented on even more.@@corneliali7747
@@corneliali7747 One detail to point out, though. Do keep in mind I don't know how much this contradicts your argument, if at all, but Rich mentioned in a video tape in Chapter 3 that he was planning to control his temper for his wife.
@@Max1996YT true. That said have a better temperment and master manipulator are still two very different things
Playtime Co spoke of "Keeping Ludwig's memory alive" and use his voice and (suspiciously blocked out) face wherever they can.
Children don't always understand the finality of death, so it's possible that the child assumed Elliot was alive when they did their drawing.
Maybe, maybe not🤷♀️
I'm just theorising like you.
In someone elses video I saw a childrens drawing addressed to Elliot Ludwig. In this drawing we can see mommy longlegs, wich experiment number is higher than the prototype.
This means that Elliot was still alive when mommy was created and therefore could not be the prototype...
Edit: it is shown in the latest game theory video about poppy playtime
this is the first time a video showed up on my home saying it was posted seconds ago when i clicked lol. excited to watch this!!
I think both Sawyer and Pierre would be considered the baddies, with the Prototype being someone considered good that went down a bad road. I'm curious as to what happened to Sawyer, since Pierre states in the catnap video that Sawyer was "out, let's say". I had thought that Ludwig might be 1006 and the player was Rich, but the more I think about it, the less likely it is. In Chapter 2, it is believed we might be the Head of Production. This seems supported by Project Playtime's VHS #2, where they display to the player "YOU WONDER WHO WE ARE. BUT WHY, YOU SHOULD KNOW. IT WAS YOUR DOING THAT MADE US." I would argue head of production would be considered the person that "made us". If we are head of production, and the letters on the floor in front of the slide are for the head of production, Rich doesn't fit any of those letters. It is definitely possible Rich is the Prototype and led the Hour of Joy. He definitely felt bad for the kids. I think the Poppy we work with is Stella, and I think she helped in the Hour of Joy because she also cared about the kids, but things went sour for her when they started killing innocent folks in the factory which is why she thinks the Prototype must be destroyed.
I wonder what 1006 thinks of CatNap allowing DogDay to be tortured. If 1006 is Elliott, would he try to convince CatNap (Theo) not to harm the other toys since they were/are all children? Hmm. Of course, it's possible CatNap didn't listen or did these things without letting 1006 know. Although, 1006 does seem to know everything happening in the factory. That said, I DO love the theory that 1006 is Elliott.
My theory about Stella is that she is Kissy Missy. Stella's tapes and VHS players in chapters 1 and 3 were *pink*. Kissy is also pink. Stella was head of Playcare. In chapter 3, when you first leave Home Sweet Home and Kissy tackles you, Poppy tells the player that "this place makes her tense". What place? Playcare!! Also, in chapter 2 when Stella (via the speakers) instructs you through the GameStation, Kissy's cutout is there too. I misremembered before and thought that Kissy's cutout was Stella but that connection is still there. I associate that cutout with Stella Greyber. Furthermore, Stella didn't seem to know why Jeremy was being pulled from adoption for testing. I have a feeling she doesn't fully know everything involved in the Bigger Bodies Initiative -- She obviously knew that these toys were huge and mobile but I don't think she knew the horrific extent. Stella seems to be left out of the more sinister parts of Playtime Co. Oh and Kissy's body language is very shy and self-comforting, like hugging herself or hugging her knee(s) while sitting. These are very passive body languages. I think Kissy doesn't want to be violent.
Sorry for the long comment! Thanks for your videos. They are so informative and fun to watch!
That's a very compelling theory, and while unexpected could be interesting, especially with her being targetted at the end of chapter 3.
That said, I think kissy is probably an orphan, I think the reason Playcare makes her tense is because she used to live there before being experimented on, this is especially true by her having a room, it can be argued it was of someone she was fond of if she was stella, but it seems to imply to me she misses being a normal kid and the area just reminds her of the torment. But with the information we have, that being not a lot, I could totally see it both ways, perhaps stella or whoever she could be, became friends with a child after being kissy but got to see her taken away from her and is just haunted by the loss, and playcare is a constant reminder of that
So Dogday is interesting because given his voice and manner of speaking I don't think he was a child when he became a toy.
Theodore is 21-22 by comparison but Dogday sounds like he's much older than his early 20s (and also doesn't sound like his animated counterpart, so I assume it's his original voice).
Given the character of Dogday was meant to be the leader of the group, I can see them choosing an adult subject - which means if Dogday was a staff member 1006 would have no issue with him being tortured.
I wonder if there's possibly an issue with if an adult is transferred into a toy that an eventual mental break or split could occur because an adult has spent their entire life as a human and then being transferred into another body is like creating a second personality. Whereas, with a child, who has no lifetime of memories in a grown body, they would adapt quicker to their new situation and their natural personalities would come through. Huggy and Kissy are good examples of this being very child like in much of their behavior and while Huggy demonstrates violence, it's clearly what he's been instructed to do (probably by the prototype) to protect himself and the others. I think Poppy is way too clever and devious to have been a child when she was transferred but that's clearly to be proved...
I suppose that could explain Bron.
I think we're playing that one worker (Rich) who had spoken to Ludwig, saying that he cared about the kids and didn't understand what was going on there. And then Ludwig had said something about him taking over for him.
The details are a little fuzzy, but this is what I recall. So maybe the prototype wants his help.
as interesting as the theory of Stella being Poppy is, it's just simply not possible timeline-wise.
Remember, Poppy was first created in 1950, but the Bigger Bodies Initiative didn't start until 1990. Why do I bring this up? Well, in chapter 2, all of Stella's lines in the Game Station mention Mommy Long Legs. Given that there's no way that she didn't mean the BBI Mommy, that means that Stella had to have been alive at least when Mommy was assigned to the Game Station. We also know that this didn't happen immediately, since the note we find in the water treatment room says that she 'would be perfect' (not 'is perfect') and that she'd need to be conditioned first. Given that Catnap (experiment 1188) was created in 1991, and Mommy was experiment 1222, I'd say it's pretty safe to assume Mommy was created in 1992 at the earliest. If Stella was still alive in 1992, then there's no way that she's the original Poppy from 1950.
Now you might be thinking 'well maybe the Poppy we meet isn't the original and instead one that was created later', and I wouldn't disagree with that being an option, but it's still not possible for that Poppy to be Stella no matter how recently she was created. Why? Because we know both Stella and Poppy were alive for the Hour of Joy. Poppy had to have been alive for it to even have firsthand knowledge of it, but Stella was still an active member of the company when the Hour of Joy happened. If she wasn't, her name wouldn't still be on so many places. She was the head of Playcare, had her own slide, and was meeting with potential adopters after the BBI had already started (I doubt they'd ever even consider terminally ill children as adoptable, and the adoptive parents in the chapter 3 VHS already knew which kid they were going to get, so the kid was likely taken into testing completely healthy). Harley Sawyer was head of Research, but after he died, his position was taken over by (iirc) Eddie M.N.R., as evidenced by both the slide and the last note you can find in chapter 2. So unless Stella was transferred into Poppy mere days before the Hour of Joy happened, they just can't be the same person.
A different theory regarding Stella that I've seen floating around is that we the player are actually Stella. Remember, although a lot of people have assumed the player is male, our gender is never actually specified. Mommy Long Legs only ever talks to us directly and therefore has no reason to refer to us in the third person, and Poppy only calls us by they/them pronouns. Mommy is also the one who confirmed that we used to work at Playtime, and given the fact that Stella was not only the head of Playcare (meaning she would've been familiar with Marie Payne), but was also the one to do the voiceover for the Game Station, Mommy would definitely be familiar with her. Stella was seemingly also kept in the dark regarding the experiments, but the toys wouldn't know that.
So yeah, if the player character is someone who we've already heard about, my money's on Stella. Rich is also a possibility, but he's also equally likely to be the Prototype himself, so I feel like Stella is the safest bet if it's not a character we haven't heard about yet.
I think that Catnap gets killed by the prototype on purpose. He knew he was going to die so he rejoiced one last time to become part of his idol, the prototype.
Thanks for putting together all of my personal theories, i've thought so much about Elliot being 1006 and never really put it in words
I actually have a theory about who we are. We know we’re an ex-employee. Who are the employees we know who truly cared about the children? Elliott. Stella.
And RICH.
He is the one recurring character who seems a bit disconnected from the rest. In the videos in which he appears, he’s upset about the direction of the company is taking and how poorly the employees are being treated. But I didn’t really give him much thought until his video in chapter three.
In that video, it shows that he cares about the kids. Their entire environment is artificial and the majority of employees aren’t even allowed to talk to the kids at all and that concerns him. It’s obvious he doesn’t know about the experimentation throughout all this…but what if that changed? He’s up for a promotion, possibly taking over what’s-his-name’s job. He could have learned about the company’s secret dealings.
I can see this leading to him feeling guilty about everything and being unable to stop anything. For whatever reason, he didn’t make it to work for the Hour of Joy. Knowing he was one of the few who cared would explain why whoever sent the tape, preying on the guilt and luring him back. Going back now could be his (our) shot at making things right after the inability to do something about it years ago.
But I could also be overthinking things and his videos really are just to show employee disgruntlement.
Yeah, I think that he was guilty and refused the promotion.
In one of the radio recordings, if you reverse it it says "you missed the event, the meeting, the party". That might refer to a meeting and celebration for him being promoted.
Maybe the Prototype planned the Hour of Joy to happen on that day knowing many people would come to work (or perhaps they would be less alert due to preparing to celebrate).
I just don't understand why so many people are fixated on this idea that Elliot was a good person who cared about the children. I don't think any of this is true and there's a lot of evidence to prove it.
Elliot knew about the experiments and was okay with it. He was okay with turning children into toys to save money.
I don' t know where you're getting the kids were terminally ill. Having a hospital doesn't mean the kids were on their deathbeds, only the people running the place weren't complete monsters and did try to care for the children as best they could.
Heck he hired people like Harley Sawyer. And I think it's likely he choose orphans because he wanted test subjects no one would notice were gone. It wasn't about bringing 'smiles to children' it was about making money. I think for him it was the company he valued not the kids.
He may have truly cared for whoever Poppy was before she was a toy but that doesn't mean those credits transfer to the kids. I feel you also misunderstand the Stella tape and the dead kid. The Stella tape was telling us this was where Playtime Co. priorities were. It was about having test subjects not about giving these kids a good home.
And if Elliot really cared about the dead kid in his house why not give the kid a proper funeral instead of stuffing him inside a duffel bag and hiding him in his house? I mean it was pretty clear to me whoever did that was trying to tell us that Elliot killed children. I don't know how else you can read that incident.
I always found it strange how vague they were about his past. Why not tell us which family member he lost? Unless they're trying to hide something. I mean of course Playtime was gonna deny everything. Did you expect them to say 'yes Elliot Ludwig killed and experimented on children, please shut us down'?
The tape, the posters, they're all propaganda. Playtime benefited from the myth of Elliot, of course they would try to keep it going.
That doesn't mean any of it was true.
I would check the characters section on the TV tropes page for Poppy Playtime as it explains everything. I think you've got a lot of this wrong.
@@burningflamesofdivinedragonLook I might be wrong. And I may need to eat some crow as the game isn't over yet.
I did check the TV Trope page and for the most part they agree with me? They point out that the dead kid in his house is really suspect, and that he was obsessed with using the poppy flowers to resurrect people and this lead to the Bigger Bodies Initiative. Also dude had no problem with killing a rat and then using it for experiments so yeah suspect.
Heck the only thing that goes against my opinion is that Harley Sawyer may have killed him, and that maybe someone was trying to frame him. But as he was dead at the time child's body was found that doesn't make any sense.
And as much as I love TV Tropes in the end they're just people sharing their opinions and theories just as I am. I don't think anyone works for MOB Entertainment and knows everything.
I think the Prototype is Rich, I also think we're being mislead.
Remember the opening tape, the Poppy commercial, In all the tapes showing the characters it always hints at any traits they possess.
Mommy long legs showed off her stretching, the Smiling Critters showed Catnap putting everyone to sleep....and Poppy had a voice-box that let her talk, which brings up we haven't heard the Prototype talk once especially given how that's supposed to be a big thing he has.
During chapter 3 when it showed the hour of joy tape it contradicted the 'RESTRICTED_relocation_08-08-1995' video where Kissy didn't take part in the hour of Joy and just waited as opposed to killing workers as well.
If one tape can be edited then others can be as well and if we assume Poppy is the one with voice modulation she could have edited some of the voice tapes for you to find to think the prototype has the voice effect. Even the Tape that mentions the Prototype hid in a corner which judging by Catnap's shrine and the size of the hand I doubt that's possible also Poppy seems to be Quite the little engineer seeing as the first thing we see he do is trying to restart the power by fiddling with the box, also when she changed the trains direction at the end of chapter 2 and hot-wiring the fuse-box during chapter 3.
With that said I think it's time we think about the name of the game and wonder if it refers to the players adventure or the 'Hour of Joy'!
Here's my theory, Rich was promoted to a higher position by Stuart's recommendation saw what was going on and tried to oppose it! We know how it goes when someone is non-compliant with PlayCo but I think they tried to do an experiment on him making him the Prototype(not sure what he's the Prototype of) he tries to escape with Theo but Theo gets injured and he turns back to get Theo medical aid at the risk of further confinement. still not 100% on Poppy's identity but I believe given how easily she can make the tech do what she want's whose to say she couldn't organize a mass outbreak? Hour of Joy happens and the toys run rampant except for Catnap who under the direction of the Prototype take the orphans and whoever he can elsewhere. The toys searching for anyone hiding are lured into the tunnels beneath playcare and when they are gathered there they release the gas knocking all the toys out. From there they lock them up (I believe I've heard the next chapter is referred to as 'Prison') from there the prototype assigns 'Wardens' to guard each area and the toys around there to prevent them from escaping the factory or wandering too far. Then the player character(I have a whole theory on his identity for a different topic) ends up at playco and goes where he shouldn't as mentioned by all the warning signs
I do definitely think Catnap's sharp realization was a mercy, but maybe not one he anticipated. It's gonna be interesting seeing 1006 in Chapter 4. And the lore too. I can imagine he's protecting them somehow, maybe having even transferred them to give them a sort of eternal youth? Let's also not forget "Sleep Well", I can't tell if they intended both uploads as story, but definitely the Mob Games one. The CG5 one looks to be more as you're playing. So that's very interesting, and whatever gets revealed is gonna be big.
I always had an idea that the prototype was a bigger bodies version of poppy since we never seen any other version of here in the factory even though see was very popular.
Ever since the second game came out I thought Ellie Ludwig was the prototype him, not knowing that his daughter died and begin poppy he wanted to get revenge and get his daughter back somehow.
2:31 Limón?
Limon :D
LIMON!
Two inconsistencies I noticed in your video. At 4:25, it clearly shows he divorced BEFORE the death, so the death could not have been the cause. And I noticed this during your first playthrough of Chapter 3, but at 5:30, it clearly says the body was found at the home of the LATE Elliot Ludwig, meaning he was already dead or at least presumed dead by the public when they found the body.
Yeah I said the cause of his divorce was him throwing himself into his work. That could have happened before but been accelerated by the death. Again, the takeaway here is that his obsession was helping children, so much so that it cost him his marriage. The when is not really that important.
@Tericho Oh ok, I misunderstood then. What are your thoughts on him being deceased, or presumed so, when the body was found?
After "the process" there is still a body that remains... I could have been planted.🕵️
1006 sounds like it has or the person used had military training. elliot would be old enough to have been born around one of world wars and or served. deep trama setting out his need to make children smile.
Just a theory, you know how we find Poppy in a deep sleep in chapter one? Maybe CatNap put her to sleep.
This is actually explained in a different one of historical videos, and he agrees with those though thinks maybe it wasn't just catnap and maybe the entirety of the critters (or at least whoever was alive) did it
@@GracenIsTooBrazenno, you can see that's catnap's gás, and there also no reason the other critters would try to put Poppy to sleep when they're on their side.
Catnap assuming his “praised be” pose to 1006’s hand, b4 getting stabbed in the face, still makes me flinch. 🥺 & ur Poppy animation @ 1:39 is on point. 🥲
Just a thought that popped into my head while watching this, what if Harley Sawyer was turned into Poppy?
I know Poppy is a female doll, but that doesn't mean the person turned into her had to originally of been female.
If we are sticking to the theory that Poppy is manipulating us, that could also possibly allude to it being Sawyer, with how he also manipulated and lied to get to his position and take control of the factory.
Plus is was Sawyer who started using the Poppy Gas, that kept the orphans asleep and plagued them with nightmares.
Exactly how Poppy was when we found her, asleep in a case filled with the Poppy Gas.
What if Harley Sawyer was spared from dying in The Hour Of Joy, so he could suffer a worse fate?
We already know 1006 (At this point believed to be Elliot.) is highly intelligent and knows how the transformation process works.
I think 1006 spared Sawyer, turned him into Poppy and locked them within the Gas filled case to live the rest of their life as the creations he hated, trapped in a case and plagued with nightmares.
No it's not male female Stella is poppy correct

5:24 Nothing in any of the radio logs or documents suggest that the police's presence was due to neighbor's concerns - Elliot was already dead in the ground before the police found the body. There's no reason for police to investigate the home of a dead man based on neighbors reporting his old suspicious behavior. The recordings mentioning the neighbors' comments about his strange schedule are in response to the inquiries of either reporters or investigators AFTER the body was already found. Most likely, whoever inherited the estate found the body and called the police.
Yeah, it says that the body was found on the estate of the *late* Elliot Ludwig.
Thanks for the video! This was a great way to start my morning. Love hearing your theories and analysis. I hope you are well!
14:35 it says no one knew 1006 existed. That makes sense that it was Ludwig's child and first successful transfer and kept secret because it was personal
I think that at the end of the Final chapter we will have to make a decision help poppy kill him or help the Prototype
I can't wait for your LN3 theories when it comes out! I miss those games. Also amazing theory as usual :D
Listening to this while I make my lunches for work. Always great to hear your analysis!
I haven't been feeling well today, and this video really cheered me up. Thank you.
Thank you terry!!loved the new videos!🙏🩷♥️👏🏻new favorite theory!!
Thanks again for all your hard work! Love seeing a new Tericho in my subs!!!
Is been a long time since I watched one of your videos. I also recall being in on your lives a lot. It’s so wonderful to see how far you have come!!! It’s good to be one of the day ones. When you going live again 😅
I love your theories Tericho
I've still got a theory that Elliott is Poppy. I think he was put into Poppy right before the Hour of Joy by 1006 so he'd be forced to survive in a glass box of gas giving him perpetual nightmares for a decade. I think the Poppy doll was reserved for his child, but he didn't make it in time- and that's the incident that incited the change from safety to desperate urgency. I think putting Ludwig in the Poppy doll reserved for his child in the model house meant to keep them safe, but turning it into a prison of a constant living nightmare of starvation without the reprieve of death was revenge. I think that's why 1006 hasn't attacked us, and why some toys are on his side and some toys like Kissy are on Poppy's. I think Kissy was a that bubbly staff member (Stella Greyber?) who is trying to help Ludwig end the torture of the remaining staff while 1006 has functionally enslaved the kids by promising eternal joy for hunting down the staff.
You present every topic so beautifully, I will watch every video you make😍
Awesome theory, Tericho. Lot of work went into it
Love your theories and content ❤ seems legit and very convincing 😂😂
Tericho! Something I realized while regoing through poppy play time 2, is something that supports your theory about the memory game trying to use words and phrases to desensitize the children to violent matters is at the end when the game malfunctions for a moment you can hear the word "massacre"
This was done very well. Obviously I’m no critic but this was an amazing theory! Watching the GT video on it and watching this changed my perspective so much. I always thought the Prototype was a bad guy bc that’s what the game is telling us but I’ve never actually realized how innocent (you could say) he is. I genuinely really enjoy your theories. I do have one question tho, at 15:43, I thought they were trying to train the monsters (at least some of them) to be friendly with kids, otherwise the monsters would murder the kids and possibly the staff. Is that true?
Edit: I figured it out lol, it was a dumb question XD
Love your videos man, only personal issue I have is when you say "it makes perfect sense", I dunno it feels incredulous but I don't make videos or write scripts so I don't really have a hill to stand on. Good theory, keep rockin
Amazing and very detailed breakdown good job of going into the meaning of Stella's name as well as "grave digger." This video says so much with so little and the breakdown of who the Prototype as Elliot is great.
Well done as usual!
Ok Tericho, your theory got my wheels spinning.
I think you have most of it right, but one key detail is missing.
Who is Ollie?
Ok. This is gonna be long, but I honestly think I’ve solved it.
Let’s start with a simple timeline.
Ludwig loses someone close to him (presumably his child). He then wants to help other children not die from terminal illnesses.
Sometime before the 1950’s the prototype is created (because after the prototype, poppy, who is a product of the process to turn kids into toys comes out in the 50’s)
However Ludwig is alive in the tape that introduced poppy in chapter 1. Now it’s possible he pre-recorded it before becoming the prototype, but I don’t think so. I think Ludwig is alive and well at this point.
Ludwig fulfills his mission, saving kids and giving them childhoods and friends, bringing joy and smiles.
Now at some point, he dies. The company starts losing money, and LeithPierre and Dr. Sawyer come into the picture.
They figure: “why only turn SICK kids into toys? Let’s make a cheap labor force, and more toys by turning perfectly healthy kids into toys.”
This enrages the prototype, who then starts working on a plan. A plan that eventually culminated in the hour of joy.
Ok. Timeline done.
2 things here:
#1. During chapter 3 on one of the VHS tapes, Dr Sawyer says “there is a secret in you 1006.”
What is the secret?
And #2. Another tape in chapter 1 right before the big poppy flower, has a scientist talking (during the hour of joy. You can hear screaming in the background) and he says “I’m not worried about myself. One breakthrough and I’ll be back.”
The secret of 1006 wasn’t HOW to turn kids into toys. It was how to bring kids BACK FROM THE DEAD. Immortality. And who doesn’t want immortality?! You could live forever, OR become rich by selling the secret to immortality to anyone who can afford it!
SO: who was brought back from the dead?
1006 is Elliot Ludwig’s dead child, Ollie Ludwig.
Elliot and Ollie are even incredibly similar names. Just missing a “T” in Ollie. Rearrange the letters a bit and you can get either name.
Ollie was initially proud of his dad’s work, and loved helping the other kids. But when the playcare executives started turning HEALTHY kids into toys this made Ollie incredibly angry and wanted to help the children fight back, orchestrating the hour of joy.
Ollie may have spared Stella (if Stella is in fact poppy) simply because she was close to his dad, or because she also wanted to bring joy to kids.
Let me share a theory that proves the fact that the Prototype was a child during his lifetime.
To begin with, I will explain the intended chain of creation of the first two experiments (so that it is easier to explain the further).
Elliot Ludwig's real goal was not to give all the children of this world smiles on their faces, but to create an immortal body, as Stella Graeber told us in the first chapter. Therefore, again, I dare to suggest that the first immortal body created personally by Elliot Ludwig was a Poppy doll. After the death of the founder (i.e. Elliot Ludwig), the company stopped making profits, which once allowed it to support testing on people, due to the continuing number of unsuccessful experiments, where one of them was a Prototype.
Now I'll explain everything as it was. Someone came up with the idea that if it doesn't work on an adult, it will work on a child. Someone killed a child by dismembering him and placed the remaining remains in a trunk (bag) and used the dismembered parts to create the first successful experiment (Prototype). But due to inexperience in hiding evidence, the remaining remains in the bag were hidden in the estate of the then deceased Elliot Ludwig, where after, someone (presumably the Player) discovers the bag and reports it to the police. The company began to be in an even more critical situation for them, and a doctor named Harley Sawyer, addressing the company's leaders, proposed a solution to current problems, to create "Initiatives of Big Bodies." After that, the company built a game station under the factory, where mini-games were held, with which scientists identified orphans according to their best qualities, for further experiments, and so four giant toys were created, the first of which was Boxy Boo, Huggy Waggy second, Mommy Long Legs third, and Kat Nap fourth. - Kat Nap.
Hi, can you make a theory about how the hour of joy took place on 11 o'clock or something like that, but all of the clocks were at 10:06 (prototype) so there was probably a power cut by the prototype or something...... I don't know... but I want to see how you interpret this contradiction, your videos are really good!
i love ur throught about this genre and love ur videos about poppy playtime
I was just looking for a Poppy Playtime theory video and I got this notification. You saved me, I'm grateful
When I saw LN in the intro I was allready hyped for your LN3 Videos
I'm so excited to get back to Little Nightmares!
@@Tericho same here. I played both games + add ons so often that im ready for the new adventure.
4:11 You mentioned Ludwig had a death in his family... I'm betting that's 1006! 💯% Now it makes perfect sense why it's homicidal and yet not after you. It sees you're there to help and needs your help to annihilate the rest of the Gang.
Good content btw. You are milking a Good Cow👍 Thank You
What if 1006 killing catnap was actually a way to ‘save’ the player because 1006 still had use for the player but not catnap
Yay, another video from Tericho ❤
This was an AWESOME theory episode, thank you
Fact: No one said 1006 was an adult before he got experimented on
Theory: 'Ollie's voice in the game (which we believe is 1006) is that of a child-not a voice he heard but a voice that was his. HIS voice before he got experimented on. Also, IF, on the 0.001% chance that 1006 WAS a kid, his name may have actually been Ollie
1: The kid that had the nightmare in certain ch3 tape would later be turned into MLL
2: Kids ain't that smart, also Proto can mimic voices,
@@AuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuA maybe the transformation made him smarter? Who knows-
Love the lemon reference on the screen with the TV set
I have a theory, what if the reason Elliot attacks ppl as the prototype is because like Thomas who suffered amnesia when he was put into his bigger body, Elliot lost his memory of who he was, still keeping his intellect and some of his ideals like poppy as his daughter though not being able to remember, he prolly felt he had some connection to her and since he forgot his memories his mind might’ve snapped explaining why he was so violent and also killed other toys.
The prototype had Catnap ferry the children someplace safe deep in the factory during the hour of joy. This is explained in a VHS tape in miss delight's schoolhouse, the children were held away from both the workers and the experiments in order to prevent them from becoming casualties in the hour of joy.
I think you might be on to something. I defiantly love your takes on Poppy Playtime. It really makes you think about it.
I've been stuck on the Ludwig as the Prototype theory since at least chapter 2. It does make a LOT of sense. I'm excited to see more, has there been any rumours or updates about Ch 4 yet?
where did u get that video of the hazmat team cleaning up playtime? or the prototype putting his hand on catnaps shoulder? thats major lore here
The hazmat footage is from the Project Playtime trailer and the prototype putting his hand on catnap's shoulder is from CG5's music video!
21:46 what doesn't make sense is in chapter 3 Poppy said the Prototype will kill us if we try to escape. So I am not sure if Prototype wants us to leave.
Watch Kissy Missy be the real villain. 😂😂
Imagine that actually happens though....💀💀
She may have faked the screaming in the end....
(no i dont really think she is bad but just extremely conflicted and maybe 1006 would manipulate that against us and against Kissy....if there's still a 'Kissy' to manipulate)
An off the wall possibility is that there's a supernatural angle here since the research notes in Part 1 and Part 2 make references to the occult. Harvey Sawyer may not be human after all but an entity that Elliot managed to nick the secret of resurrection from by occult means (possibly to resurrect the child who is now Poppy) and now 'Harvey' is engineering the entire downfall of Playcare to make Elliot give it back 'willingly' because there's no other way.
Step 1 was for Playtime Co to make a deal with a literal devil after Elliot's sacrifice. This is a horror game after all.
As Tericho mentioned, what if the only reason the prototype is just an arm, is because the rest of him was used to replicate the transference process. If that is the case, with him taking the bodies of the fallen toys, is he taking them so that they cannot be replicated by someone else and is destroying them. Rather than saving them as Tericho points out, what if he is trying to make sure that nobody ever has to be trapped in a toy ever again and suffer as they have.
So before i got into theories and stuff about poppy playtime i just assumed that the child that died was poppy and eliot tried to bring her back to life through turning children into toys. Maybe we dont have to look so deep for an answer. Idk.
The child was a boy and poppy is clearly not a boy
Amazing Job ❤
Finally a poppy theory from my favorite youtuber❤
🕵️P.S. 🕵️Poppy was the Apex of their creation right? I'm also betting Poppy is Ludwig. That would be an absolute major twist no one would see and explain even further why he was locked up by the others and wanting to destroy 1006, because 1006 is his child and he can't stand what 1006 has become, being the first and opening the door to the grotesque fact of this story, kids were being made slaves, so it went psycho, and why Poppy didn't during the Hour of Joy🕵️
Makes even more sense why the door was marked with warnings long after all the staff was killed, Poppy truly is the original orchestrator of all this pain and suffering and 1006 wanted to stop it along with Poppy, so "they" locked him up🕵️
🕵️P.S.S. after reading other comments, it makes more sense that 1006 is protecting Poppy, disposing of the Looney Gang as they're incapacitated, because Poppy is the father.🕵️
🕵️1006 probably couldn't kill them outright anyway they're likely way more powerful and far more mobile then 1006 . 1006 is the precursor, likely not to have the same abilities as all the rest, not to mention a fully functional body. I bet 1006 has become the A.I. of the place, exactly as Portal and Bioshock had, and is keeping the Evils locked up until someone can help destroy them. That's why it can only reach out and grab them once they're near dead and why 1006 always knows where you are, it is the mind within the machine.🕵️
Clearly 1006 orchestrated the Hour of Joy but that was to wipe out "The Process", not totality to the whole situation.
1006 Is considered a God because it literally is the mastermind behind all the facility, just not mobile enought to engage with the enemy head to head🕵️
And Poppy is the Father trying to correct his mistakes. 1006 knows this and wants to help. I bet the close to this will be 1006 giving himself to Poppy as the ultimate sacrifice to end it once and for all
I'm putting all on Red on this, there is absolutely going to be a major twist like this and that would shock everybody🕵️
in the hour of joy im pretty sure children died to.
My theory: Poppy and 1006 are playing the long con together. They took positions at the head of opposing factions of the remaining toys to manipulate all of them, and theyre playing the good guy bad guy routine to keep you moving, but in the end every toy Poppy gets you to kill makes 1006 stronger
Yeeeaaaa lol. Happy you posted today
What if we (the player) were a close friends of Elliot’s before he became the prototype and the reason the prototype doesn’t hurt us specifically is because we were the only one who stuck to his plan of helping children and he reason we weren’t there from the hour of joy was maybe the person who was put in Elliot’s place had an issue and wanted the player gone from the company and the reason the toys hate us is because they don’t realise the player isn’t like the other employees and attack him to ‘save’ the prototype because the toys loved Elliot and want to protect him
i love your chanel its so nostalgik
I now understand many things, thanks✨👌🏻😁
i love how there are so many different theories. Tbh they all sound possible. i personally like the thought that the prototype is building an army to fight or take over the world. Do i think its possible hes win. Naw but something about the prototype having a big enough ego to try and wipe out the world to protect the kids would be cool. on some attack on titan kind of timing.
what if the boys body found on Elliots property was Ollie before he got (presumably) turned into a toy (IF ollie isnt the prototype of course)
I noticed one big problem with this theory:
It's pretty much confirmed that Stella Greybur joins the company a long time after Poppy is created, so they are definitely not the same. I have no idea who Poppy could actually be if we think about this theory, but I believe Stella to be one of the two biggest suspects for who we're playing as, with the other being Richard Avery. Stella was the one in charge of the orphanage, after all, so she would want to learn the truth about what happened if she was basically invited back to her old job.
Interesting that you bring up the theme of war into the factor. I knew that Elliot was at least alive and for around that time, as well as the Great Depression. If this is the case, then this has got to be the most tragic villain to date.
Helloo so ima give my theory in the short time i have and i might continue writing it after wards.
So in the beginning we hear the lines "you played with them now they'll play with you." and in some tapes you'll see from the players hallucination that the player was supposed to be in the "hour of joy" but he wasnt? Player could've either betrayed prototype, and to support my claim you'll see that miss delight at first she warns us to leave then she recognises us and says "how are you alive?" As in shouldn't we have died in the hour of joy?
The prototype 1006 was the first successful experiment in poppy playtime, and we see recording of a guy named rich with the same personality as him, not only that if you go to where catnap collected bodies together you'll find a skeleton wearing a construction hat. The same hat which refers to rich the construction worker.
Mommy long legs before dieing she says that he'll make her apart of him.. refering that the prototype takes dead experiments like her and makes them part of him to increase his strength and in an vhs tape we also see that he can manipulate voices, so the kid ollie who helps us is probably 1006 the prototype as their is no way a kid is still alive, poppy asked us to trust him since she trusted him in the past. Poppy got the idea stuck in our brain that catnap plays with the opponent first but thats what goes with every toy (time over..)
(2nd part)
We learn that catnap was first a young boy who tried to help 1006 and almost died there you'll also see that 1006 sacrificed freedom for him and called the doctor..why didnt he kill the doctor afterwards? He most likely wanted to wait for the hour of joy so that everyone would be on his side. Everyone on his side wanted freedom thats why they helped but since they didnt get it we see that poppy and kissy oppose him. While the others are scared so they follow him. The player or us, we were a worker i believe helping him before we vanished to hide ourselves so we'd stay alive. Thats what makes me come to the letter we get, the letter we get asking us to comehas misspelled words..they seem like it was on purpose, the others believe that we were here to save the employees but no. We were there to save the children, those same children that 1006 used..but the prototype wont let us escape no matter what as in one death scene we see the words written that everything needs to stay buried. Thats what 1006 wants. To slowly traumatize us, he knows that we can beat it..he's knows that he's letting us do his work. He wanted to give them freedom the freedom was their death. And he wants revenge on us who back stabbed him.
Okay okay im done😊
I think Rich is the player's character. Both gruff enough to deal with the violence and yet compassionate enough to break into the abandoned factory in hope to save his coworkers. Rich also would know the orphans but not be in position to know what happened to them. He would understand the use of all the machines the player uses because he himself works with machines and yet requires instruction because he has not seen them before.
AMAZING work Tericho! So, why do you think Kissy isn't against Poppy? Why doesn't she attack us? Again, profound analyzation! God bless and be with you and your household! =)
"You come here, to pillage and murder. You are not welcome here - you have no right to be here."
That is actually a really good theory, he took both mommy longlegs and catnaps bodies just so he could rebuild them and save their lives, even killed catnap since he would have died anyway but he need the body. Probably my favorite theory from you
I like how they blurred Elliott Ludwigs face likes its an episode of cops
Ok I’ve watched the whole video and I think a lot is valid. But I’ve been out of the theory community due to personal rl issues (my parents passed away) so I’ve only seen the gameplay. I thought it was obvious that the last bit was a call back to poor Theo’s original fate and just the prototype showing him mercy? Can someone explain what the point of him just offing him would be? And we’re actually the ones who keep killing everyone. I don’t recall seeing the prototype ever kill any of the toys. I thought chapter 3 was about finally humanizing not just the prototype but ALL the toys. We’ve believed they were kids since chapter one, but the player considers them enemies and slaughters them. I thought this chapter was to really make it hit home that WE ARE ALSO killing humans, just like the prototype did in The Hour of Joy and to make it apparent that WE are very much like the prototype and that people in desperate situations do desperate things. Wasn’t it meant to show us and remind us that we aren’t necessarily the good guy and that WE have a lot in common with the “bad guys”?
And I’m not sure we ARE a guy. WHY weren’t we at the hour of joy? Did we get a tip? From whom? And the only reason I think we would have survived to this point is because the prototype cares for us. IF 1006 IS Ludwig, we’ve only seen that he REALLY cares for three women: his daughter, his wife, and Stella. I don’t think we’re Stella, but I ALSO am not yet convinced WE are human. The point was to get the toys out. Maybe we’re the one who DID and that’s why we weren’t there? He’s never tried to take us out and he’s had MANY chances. BUT, if we were a toy, that contains someone he loves, he wouldn’t be trying to kill us. We have never been shown to be a HUMAN body in the game.
I think GT is wrong. I don’t think 1006 is Rich and I honestly think that’s a kinda dumb take (I hope this doesn’t age like milk lol). Rich has no reason to not kill us right off for causing trouble. Who are we to him? No one. Why would he let us go all the time?
Nope. I still think, just like I have since chapter one, that we are ourselves a toy and we’re someone that 1006 cares/cared about. It’s the only reason I can see for the “enemy” to not immediately kill off their opponent at the first opportunity.
And as a side note, I think it’s interesting that 1006 is a patchwork of bodies and Theo/Catnap, his first “friend” after his change, is also made of sewn together parts when all the other toys, while after all this time looking kinda scrappy, still have that magic look of perfection. No seams and the like. I have no idea if that means anything or if it’s just a fun little thing the game makers put in. But if I see another patchwork creature, I’m going to be REAL SUS about it 😂
Its refreshing to see a theory that I can actually agree on, I enjoyed reading this. Also I am sorry for your loss and hope you are now doing welll ❤
i love poppy playtime lore and i cant wait for the next chapter to see what happens next
The biggest question to me is that... Why did they create the prototype? What was his purpose gonna be in the game? remember, prototype means a mockup or an example of something... Unless I'm wrong about 1006! But overall, I'm interested to hear more about 1006 in the game :]
👇1 hour gang
I agree with your theory of Elliot being the Prototype and here is why he killed the entire staff. When Playtime co was in financial trouble the Dr offered the Bigger bodies initiative as a solution but using toys. We have to assume that Elliot was still alive at this time, before any of this however we have to consider Poppy. Poppy is most likely his child however being like some of the other toys, she did not remember who she was and almost likely became evil. Elliot became aware of this but still kept her around and kept an eye on her. It’s also worth noting that he must have been the one to have locked her in the box to stop her. The Dr and several other employees most likely knew this and when they suggested it, Elliot said no. He did not want to experiment on any of the children as that was not what his company was and he did not want to repeat his mistake with Poppy again. The company took action into their own hands and most likely killed him and then killed and planted a child in his house to throw the blame on him. After that he becomes the Prototype and he remembers what has happened and becomes highly aggressive towards the staff except the children. He even goes as far as rescuing Theo from death by abandoning his escape plan for the children showing that he really does care about children. After the Hour of joy he decides to keep the children here as by letting them out would raise a lot of questions, but he also knew that Poppy was most likely evil and may have possibly have been in cahoots with the company to experiment on the children. Poppy possible main goal is to kill him, retake control of the factory and continue the experiments hence why we come in. As for Huggy, Mommy and Catnap I don’t think they are entirely evil, the most possible reason for them being aggressive towards us is because they are guarding the Prototype and know why we are here. They are like the giants from Shadow of the Colossus protecting the main villain by stopping those who have been tricked by him. And that is why I think the Prototype is good.
Using this as a means to cure children makes perfect sense. It also makes sense as to why the scent of the poppy flower and derivatives of it were used. In the 1930s, one of the most popular pain relievers was morphine. Morphine is made from opium which comes from the poppy flower. A terminal child would’ve been fed this continuously so that passing on would be less painful.
I also want to add CatNap’s death was a clear mercy killing. He was so badly burned and most certainly terrified after being electrocuted TWICE in his very young life. Repairs
May not have been feasible. Perhaps 1006 felt that a quick end would be better than to leave CatNap suffering and in fear.
I agree with you that Ludwig is the prototype and poppy is his daughter but here is more of what I think. I think that poppy never knew about the experiments and that the prototype is her father so she just thought that he was evil and wants him to suffer for his crimes.
Bookie
Rich has to be the prototype man, he cared for the children, had a temper, and his intelligence has never been shown though. He was also most likely getting a promotion, meaning he would see what was really happening to the children in the playcare
this is probably one of the best and fleshed out theories I've ever heard throughout CZcams. Never heard about Poppy and Gasses related to wars from other Poppy Playtime theorists. I'm glad I found this channel
Yes! A new video.
