- Dark Deception Chapter 5 has recieved a slew of news updates following the launch of DD CH4. These news updates include our first look at environmental concept art, a music track and a release plan which will ensure Dark Deception Chapter 5 launches sooner rather than later. However some of this news also gives us hints as to what to expect from the 9th portal enemy - the mannequins. In this video I formulate a theory to try and explain what the mannequins symbolise, their abilities and how they tie in to the overall story of protagonist Doug Houser. So sit back, relax and enjoy a Dark Deception Chapter 5 game theory and news update.

Lyrics: run for your life
Mannequins: are the fastest in the game
Doug: *SO SHOULD I RUN OR NOT!?!?*
They WANT you to run. Don't fight, don't freeze, RUN. Run, little fox, for the hunters are riding.
It's better if you die tired.
@@erinfinn2273 i think they will be blind so u have to be cilent in this level and if you make a sound they will find you
It helps if you don’t let them impale you.
Malak: YOU CAN JUST HO I DO NOT KNOW... *DIE*???!?!!!!!!!
@@mitkodimitrov6663 Exactly.
RUN so we can HEAR YOU.
I honestly believe that the Mannequins will also be the only enemies that will not make sound when they are near, taking into account that in the animation of the game they seem to move with great care, similar to our character in the Momma Bears house, but considering that they do not have a head or arms they may have the primal fear not to have an effect on them
Maybe they don't even has a chase theme. Cause this would alert the player that he is being chased
It could be possible
Maybe its right if it was you can hear nothing that make it more hard damn
I have a theory that the primal fear doesn't actually stun them, but put their trapped souls greatest regrets into the light. I believe Malak used primal fear when he got into Doug's head and showed his greatest regrets
I think they may be blind and have a very good hearing so you may need to be stealthy
Theory: This stage represents vanity. In their life, the souls trapped here only focused on themselves, and their superiority. Now any distinguishing features have been taken from them. This relates to Doug, as he sees himself as "better" than his wife and child.
It also relates to bierce considering that the portals are her nightmares
Out of all the people Doug could find, he wound up with the One Person whose Nightmares matched his.
If it helps (And it may not), while Malak is examining Doug's life of quite shocking evil, he takes a moment to mock Doug's "Vanity" in manifesting as a far younger man in Malak's Hell Dimension than he is in the Physical World. Malak is, however a Demon, so his taunts could just be taunts.
@@llewelynshingler2173 I doubt that to be the case as in that instance Malaks taunts aren't idle or coming from nowhere, its purely based on what he knows of Doug. When examining Dougs body, he refers to Doug seeing himself as young in hell but old and sick as "Narcissistic" or as to quote "It must be the narcissism", now the word play is evident that Doug is or was narcissistic and vane, Malak doesn't say "it must be narcissism" he says "it must be THE narcissism" as a fact, he's getting this from observing Dougs life and as a demon im sure Malak would be good at reading people especially the darker parts of them, so Doug being vane/narcissistic is not far fetched and it definitely ties in to the mannequins if that's what they are based around.
@@Sunni_Io125 i don’t know, cause according to bierce’s files, the portals seems to be different for everyone, so maybe they may not be related to bierce
(i don’t know why E’s portals are so similar to Doug’s but never mind that, cause Doug’s was still different from Bierce’s)
Ohhh okay
So, I was looking up about the Mannequins online and someone said this,
“Definitely gotta be my favorite enemies. God, they're so terrifying!!
I had an idea of sorts for how they act, but I doubt it'll really be as "crazy" as Vince said.
What if they play a game of red light green light with you? And no I'm not thinking of splatoon game.
To emphasise, what if they're blind and function on noise alone?
So, let's say you're running through the mall. You encounter a mannequin. You quietly walk around them, but suddenly they stop, You're still walking. Then, they charge at you with full speed and attack you.
So here's kinda what I think:
Running will alert them regardless of if they're wandering around or not.
Walking will not alert them if they're moving, as their own footsteps will drown it out.
If they're completely still, making any movement will make them charge at you. You'll have to wait for them to walk again.
And they have a radius at which they're alerted. So if you're far enough away from all of them, you can diddle around and do whatever. Might make telepathy more useful, too.
And I'd like to imagine that the only way you can really hear one if by their footsteps. So if you encounter one that's not moving, rip.
But that's just a theory! A LAME THEORY!”
No, you got a point, that's a very cool theory!
That sounds dope-
I have a feeling it's a mix of sound based movement to find you and light being the safe area,and you'll be able to make small light areas to keep yourself safe or light a dark area up to see puzzles better
YOOOO!
Lmfaooo splatoon game 😂😂😂
There are actually mannequins in real life with cone-heads. My best guess as to why is because it's completely pointless to make a whole head-mold when you're just making it show off a dress.
Theirs a joke in there, to be made
"pointless". Was that an intentional joke?
@@GameJunkyard11 No, unintentional
So…. No head 😔
Good Point though
Pun intended!?
I have a theory in regards to the idea that the mannequins use vibrations to hunt Doug. In chapter 4 there's the cutscene where Doug says "I am SICK of her public meltdowns!", referring to his daughter. Maybe her "public meltdown" was in a shopping mall during christmas?
The "Run For Your Life" lines in the chase theme could represent Doug wanting to get away from his daughter during one of those meltdowns, wishing not to be embarrassed by her. The Mannequins could be a representation of Doug's wife trying to get back to him to help her deal with their daughter? Mannequins are often dressed up in clothes to somewhat "hide" their true nature underneath -- Doug said (in the same cutscene) that his wife didn't tell him she was a "Bipolar Mess" as Doug says he wouldn't have married her if he *knew*.
The point is, well, noise being a big factor as theorized -- Just with some context behind it. A child having a public meltdown in a crowded area, like a shopping mall, is of course a LOT of noise. Doug having to not make noise and be quiet, just like how he wanted his daughter to be, could be a neat little twist on his terrible behavior as a father.
Anyhow that's just my little Spitball idea
That’s a really good theory! The idea that it’s about hiding and how he didn’t know she was Bipolar and how he also hid his own identity.
I like how you think
My man crafted a whole 4 page paragraph
Ok, I just want to point out that the cutscene took place in chapter 4, not 5. But other than that, this is a very interesting theory.
@@aa-vt9so Whoops! Thanks for the correction, haha
@@baronobeefdip106 it wasn't that big of a mistake tbh. I just wanted to point it out so nobody would get confused.
Since the mannequins are going to act “crazy”, I think that means that they’re going to be unpredictable, such as constantly changing speeds from super fast to stopping entirely at random, and going absolutely insane if they spot the player
maybe they have a weakness like lets say you manage to dodge the mannequin but they were charging at insane speed so they go straight forward and cannot stop its speed
once that it will eventually keepp going until they crash into something
@@akaza4023 Like they're speed skaters. Even worse than the Reaper Nurses.
Running is useless now cuz they can catch up fast
To me, that seems like these mannequins will represents Doug's mistreated wife. It's mentioned she has bipolar and unfortunately they're often seen as "crazy" and "unpredictable"
I can't lie, that Silent Shopper theme is a genuine bop.
its a banger tbh
it is such a banger it is so good and i am so hype
Yeah might listen to it more and more
I swear these enemies are going to absolutely terrifying. No eyes or ears, can possibly sense movement and noise so there’s definitely going to be noise-based traps. Along with being the FASTEST enemies in the game these dudes are set to be the Quiet Place monsters of Dark Deception.
Me too its gonna be soo hard
Probably really loud traps So the mannequins can feel the vibrations
Agreed.
@@lilybug7027 bat the dark deception chapter 5 is final chapter have 2 posts
It is more interesting then scary
What if it’s like a memory of young Doug going shopping with his mother? Maybe a time he got lost and the mannequin’s around the shop scared him?
The before or when she abused he as a kid
@@jahidfeliciano5618 Not sure, if it’s during the abuse maybe ran away and tried to hide instead of getting lost?
@@cosmo7932 that make sense because we are ready know why he want to run away form his mother
If this is true then I really feel bad for Doug
Like I no he is bad but he has a good reason
Not that it is ok but your parents can mold your life
It just depends on what thay do with the mold
Don't blame him for being scared.
Mannequins are demons
My theory: Doug needs to be sneaky like how he is with his affair. (even though the wife already knew by the point of their argument in the kitchen) The enemy is still in the form of a woman so maybe it’s a symbol for ‘walking on pins and needles’ Run for your life is what you need to keep doing, staying in place too long will get you caught, such as having a moment with the receptionist in the office and caught red headed by… let’s say the wife. (Hence how she found out) or maybe caught him shopping with the other woman at the mall.
Heck, could be a throw back to where Doug’s stuff bear (from his mom) came from.
Wow. You done your research, didn't you?
I think that too, the silent shopping is probably Christmas time also perhaps that where we get to see how MC's wife and daughter got killed and if my theory is correct, the next chapter will about murder and the new boss probably will be neither an police officer, some gangster or MC's wife.
Interesting!!
@@GirlyAlchemy thank you!!!
So what if this means since dougs wife knew but doug possibly didnt know she knew and it would be like the mannequins know your there but you know they know your there?
I came up with a couple of death scene lines.
“Well there was no point in doing that…”
“Maybe you need to sharpen your senses more.”
I have one, (sigh) I was hoping you were shopping for soul shards for me, but no you shopped yourself death
@@shadowjeremy3083 lemee fix it: “You’re shopping for soul shards, not death! Quit window shopping!”
@@hidden_name_6720 okay yeah, yours is better.
Gotta love Bierce and her puns
Like the "You are terminated" from the Joy Joy Gang level, lol
Vince stated in the most recent Q&A that the Mannequins are the fastest enemies in the game, but not by teleportation or running. My current theory is that the Mannequins use the environment to move around quickly. They may use equipment like escalators and elevators to gain traction on Doug. If this is true, it's a double edged sword. If they can use this equipment, Doug can too. I do agree with Mike that being quiet will be a big gameplay mechanic in this level.
Hmm I think they might be strung from the ceiling, using ropes and chords like marionette strings to kind of acrobat their way towards Doug, and as for them being able to track Doug, I'm hoping they have some sort of vibrational hearing, making their whole theme similar to spider webs, as someone else mentioned, they were people caught up in fame and now eternally treated as merchandise, ready to string Doug up the moment they recognize him.
Also, I feel it would be awkward for them to have those spikes for "ramming" on their heads without actually running at Doug, so them spidermanning themselves from the ceiling feels more realistic.
I feel like there will be underground tunnels inside the mall that the mannequins will be able to use to sneak up on Doug, and the player will have to learn quickly where the entrances are located so he doesn't get killed
i think that they will move to where doug stepped last and the ones within sensing range will rush there trying to stab him
Before chapter 4 someone told they will climb idk where it came from but everyone was sure its this and maybe while they crawl they are slow
Useless Fact: Until I get an actual name for these Mannequins, I'm gonna call them Needleheads.
When I Read that all i can think about is just patrick Saying, "who you calling a pinhead?" LOL
Expect lotta pinhead memes once the level gets released. 😂
@@zerozillow3445 "Alright Pinhead, Your Time Us Up!"
*yes*
And I’ll call them funny walking mfs.
My Theory: With the Christmas music/ holiday theme and the toy-like nature of the Mannequins, I wonder if this is where Doug faces his corrupted daughter and must save her before facing off against Malick in the final portal.
There’s 4 levels of chapter 5.
My guess is after the last 2 nightmare portals the last 2 levels are showdowns with Bierce and Malak.
Just looking at their walking animation makes me more scared of them than any other Dark Deception monster.
killer elf on the shelf
I feel like the Mannequins only move whenever we move, because they would feel the vibration in our movement. If we stop moving, they’ll still go after the source of vibration but then just stop if they don’t sense the vibration
Bro, that mechanic would be so cool and hard to counter. I would love to see it in the game. And when the player gets invisible, the mannequins will still walk when he walk, so the only counter for them would be primal fear (witch has an awful cooldown ;-;)
i think they won't stop when doug stops, i think they keep going to where they last sensed Doug
unless doug is an undead they'll be always able to sense doug breathing or shake in fear
Wouldn't that be another Gold Watcher, though? Like sure. We wouldn't play "Red light -green light" anymore, but it'd be still very similar
@@Iamintohunksdontjudgeme That would be interesting, if they can still find you and hunt you down even when you’re invisible. This would definitely be a real challenge
For Doug the mall could represent a fear or past experience of being lost or locked up in the mall after closing time as a child all he would see would be the creepy mannequins in empty stores. Or as stated in the video the mall could reference how the women in Doug's life drained him of his money.
Being locked in the mall after closing time is kinda my fear when i was a child thou ngl...my parents sometimes still shopping on supermarket inside the mall until possibly near closed time of the mall (all store and stall already close their place, the supermarket need longer time because cashier)
Somehow makes sense lol
Someone else in the comment section from a different video made a theory that The Mannequins could be the souls of Thieves. People "hiding in plain sight" just like how most Mannequins look similar
Wait, let's imagine that the monsters have a chance to get their normal human life back if they catch Doug, so if the mannequins are the fastest enemies of the game, perhaps the "Run for your life" is adressed to them, because they must run to catch Doug, and save their own soul.
few speculations of mine about thr mannequins
1. They move when looked: the og idea, not gonna happen prob, easily cheeseable
2. They are silent and sneak around, but triggering one (going in a certain radius) is most likely lethal
3. They use dashes to get to you and impale the player via the help of others
4. Murder monkeys or gold watchers but buffed
I had a theory after reading the e note in torment therapy that the mannequins could be the souls of people who's lives were affected by fame. actors, models, artists etc being abused by fans and staff like objects or even products like ones found in malls. The reason I dont see it as the women is due to the reaper nurses. It would also fit with doug ashe was a famous lawyer who let it get to his head and abused his power with his family being affected by his fame but also Doug's aftermath when he went to caught and how everyone was out to get him
Yeesh, imagine all the content creators there then
That is a good theory. Because some people just see famous people basicaly as statues. Just to take a selfie and tell to everyone. Like they're just objects whitout personality
I like to think the mannequins are people who committed murders during Black Friday
I actually like this theory-
This is actually make sense
Speculation: Maybe the reason why the mannequin are the quickest enemy in the game is because they can leap. Since the mannequins could easily impale the player with their head and limp, it could sneak around the mall using darkness and environment to its advantage. If the player make a small vibration like walking, it will sneak around quietly and slowly surround the player, then once the player spot it, it leaping forward to finish them off. But if we generate larger vibrations like running, the mannequin will start chasing us and once it spot us, leaping forward to impale us instead of waiting for the player to spot them. The “run for your life” in the song maybe mean that if the mannequin start to leap toward the player, we will force to dodge by running in the other direction, triggering the chain reaction as the other mannequin getting alert and start running as the player run.
Also we may not giving any new power since 6 is probably complicated enough but we could potentially still found a flashlight in a mall since it’s usually dark once it’s close and possibly the darkest level in the game(And also because according to Doug’s childhood where he was locked inside a closet for hours so he might had developed a fear of darkness, although claustrophobic might make more sense.), the key is how you need to turn it off at the right place where the mannequin could hide to avoid spotting it.
To add onto the mannequins leaping, it isn't a stretch to say that the mannequins have other ways of moving around the stage. With Vince confirming that the mannequins will be fast in an unconventional sense and the mall will have multiple floors, I can presume that the mannequins can crawl along the walls for vertical travel. On top of that, they may even crawl on the ceiling.
@@williammin8340 now thats even more terrifying to think!!!
i like to think they also do the same trick as the duckies, have fake ones around and when you turn around to see if your being followed the mannequin will stop moveing and fit in to the area as there are fake ones around
@@lilmissmilesyt9363 The new telepathy effect also making it a little bit harder to estimate the number of enemy if there are many of them in one close area.
I think that the mannequins will be a combination of all the other monsters. The monkeys since they have a similar map style (maybe) agatha because they only charge when you're in their view, the gold watchers because they only move when you look away, the ducks because there are fake ones scattered, the clowns because they may have Segways like mall cops or any transpo, the nurses because they are hard to identify, the jj gang because they have different abilities, and mama bear because they can disorient the way the player sees. But idk
The power that Bierce give you before the level could be some kind of lure, making vibration. It would make sens, if we based on your supposition, and would make a non redondant power
Vanish is the last power
@@mikogram no it isn’t, they will add new ones, it is just displayed as the last because they didn’t need more slots at the time of chapter 4
I have a theory on what the powers will be..
I think that most of the new abilities connect with the abilities of the previous enemy that Doug wasn’t able to do at that time, like teleportation with Agatha and invisibility from the reaper nurses. Sure, telekinesis and primal fear heave nothing to do with ducks and clowns, but one thing that always happens is that they assist you a lot in the level. So, what can the joy joy gang and momma bear do that’ll help Doug move without a sound? Well momma bear can’t really do anything other than release teddies, which won’t help Doug, but hangry can go through walls and penny can fly. What if your new power is flying for a period of time, making no noise while moving, and if you get two powers, maybe you can either go through walls or possibly make clones of yourself like all of the clouded animatronics?
@@_.evilyx._ The powers are most likely made from the ring pieces that we get, So mama bear will not give us any power. Maybe we can get a power from the joy joy gang.
Mike: says chapter five will come out in 2022. Me in 2024: is it coming out or not?
I think I read somewhere that these guys are extremely fast, so the idea of one of these booking it at like 85 miles an hour is terrifying
I don't get how the mannequins could run balanced on 2 of their 'feet' but a spiky woman shaped thing Cartwheeling at 85mph to kill me stopping and starting practically instantly is a terrifying experience I want badly
@@arianalbert i think the running on spikes at 85 mph thing doesn't make sense too. Like how is that possible!? You don't have any feet, you're blind and you're deaf!? These mannequins are overpowered
Why do I see them cartwheeling to Doug at incrediably fast speeds?
i seriously love your theories and videos, they make the games so much more fun to look at from another perspective
55o27
My theory:
Story Significance- Doug being embarrassed of strangers being interrupted by Tammy's public outbursts in the mall during Christmas time
Mechanic- Something like Squid Game where if the mannequins catch you moving when you're not supposed to, they will lunge forward in an unavoidable attack and puncture you, giving you a game over.
So, it's like Gold Watcher level, but instead of the enemies moving when we aren't looking at them, it's the exact opposite?
Like, *we* only move when the enemies aren't looking at us?
Perhaps the mannequins only run when you are still. The map would be filled with lots of tasks that require you to mash a specific key or something. As long as you run, you save your life, which would for what the chase theme said.
Theory: it could be the embodiment of his cancer. Sens cancer is sometimes depicted has benign sharp and pointed.
this makes sense...
Doesnt explain the mall part lol
@@ruahoneybadger5828 it could. Maybe dougs daughter had cancer and took him to the biggest mall as a make a wish type shit. Ties into the joy joy lore
make sense cuz dark deception is not just a horror game.its about psychology and the reality of the real world.correct me if im wrong or something.
@@agent3360 also he could have also worked there once.
What if the mannequin represent how Doug use to view everyone around him(women), as lifeless and meaningless mannequins that he can do as he please with them.
But isn't the Nurses chapter already does that
@@fegeleinherman8587 they were kinda the representation of dougs misconduct towards women and how he saw them as just a body, not a person so id say close?
Maybe that's why they bear a slight resemblance to the mannequins that you can pose
And the mannequins are faceless because of how he see people as emotionlessly.
I have a theory (not an important one but something I'd like to point out): After seeing Mama Bear's animation when stunned, I started to think more about the ability Primal Fear and the origin if it's name. We can see how Mama Bear taps her head when stunned as if she is trying to hit something out of his head/mind. As we know, Mama Bear holds the souls of abusive mothers who ruined their children life as if 1 of the Mama Bear's trapped souls are seeing them hurting the feelings of their children or the mistakes that ruined their child's life. I believe this is where the name comes. The monsters see their trapped soul's mistakes that they regret the most and are the reason, why they ended up there. It would be weird for a stun to be called fear unless it actually brings fear to the stunned's mind. Malak might have used Primal Fear when he got into Doug's mind and showed him his greatest regrets. What do you think? If you have some other theories or opinions of this and other power up's, let me know in the reply section. Thank you for reading this💙
Its makes me wonder the powerups we will get from the joy joy gang and mama bear. Because for the powerups you get are related to the previous enemies you encounter:
Speed Boost-Murder Monkeys: they run at you, now you can run fast.
Teleportation-Agatha: teleports around to catch you.
Telepathy-Gold Watchers: apparently they always know your location.
Primal Fear-Doom Ducky: being able to stun you.
Telekinesis-Clown Gremlins: according to the wiki they use it on the clown cars.
Vanish-Reaper Nurses: they go invisible.
So based on these on the powers the joy joy gang and mama bear possess, probably making pseudo clone of yourself based on either the many joy joy gang clones or mama bear creating Trigger Teddies minions.
Sounds like they're gonna aim to release chapter 5 (or the mannequin part assuming they're doing it in pieces) around the holiday season, meaning that we're gonna get a level that takes place within a mall during Black Friday.
Christmas would make more sense
I mean, considering how manikins are the fastest enemies, it would make sense that its black friday JDNDSHSHD
@@Chronically_Bored I don't get it... What happens in black fridays?
@@nifelicio7752 gonna be honesf i dont know either, i just know the meme thay when its black Friday and you wanna go shopping, bring armor, 'less you wish to be run over by people
@@Chronically_Bored Woah! ^^' In my country there is a BFriday but most people I know just... don't care
SO excited for Chapter 5. Chapter 4 turned it up to 11 and I had a blast playing through it. Thanks for the news SHB!
I think a new power up is gonna be added here
i think its a skill to make barriers and/or blockades for the entities to get rid of it, or a skill that mimics a entity/object to hide from the others
I'm excited for what E has to say about the Mannequins; considering that Mannequins do represent a form of object, or a form of perfection or display. But maybe it could represent the status of something; since the theme of this stage seems to be Christmas based or holiday based, I could see this as a way of saying that these times of joy and warmth can now only be filled with dark and cold things behind it, at least in Doug's former household. It could also be the times with his mother, since she didn't seem to be home much as a whole, even when she cared about him, he was probably left alone. The Mall is probably spacious, only being filled with Mannequins, this could represent Doug's life with any important female figure in his life that isn't really there and him just being around with "figures" instead of living people.
This is literally the best theory channel around
@-Jampex- couldn't agree more

"The first part could be in the early 2022"
Me: some unrealistic expectations i See?
I believe that the mannequins will represent Doug’s relation with his secretary.
Maybe, but going by the theory Malak’s portals represent the 9 circles of hell, the Mannequins represent Limbo
I have my own theory for the mannequin chapter: So, Doug's a woman abuser, a murderer,and a bully (rude guy). And mannequins are non-living people. This could an exaggeration of how Doug didn't care for others. He knew they existed, but treated them like they were empty corpses. So, the Mannequins could stand for something similar to "Ignorance".
this. this needs to be canon
you gained a new subscriber
@@WindyHiII thx!
@@sarahplays2349 Thank you too! It would be cool if it was canon.
@@KatieTheBookOsbessedNerd i also subbed
Id like to see the mall decorated in Christmas decor with the soundtrack. I have a feeling that it'll be released around the holiday season. I could be wrong, it could come early & late for the holidays. Regardless, it's gonna get awesome
i have an idea of the time. if it’s taking place during the holidays at the mall, it might take place during black friday since the lyrics sound like “run for your life” even tho much movement won’t rlly help with the mannequins’ speed. but there could be another way to get away, either teleportation or maybe there’s a way where we can imitate the vibrations of the mannequins.
that’s just my idea of things
I’ve been here at this channel for years and it just keeps getting better!
I feel as if the Mannequin reflects his wife or is the wife since if I recalled she acted crazy around Doug such as the pointy spikes showing signs of with he thought was damaged since she was crazy she was a husk of her former self.
Maybe the Mannequins will be set up in various places scattered about the mall. If they hear something relatively small like you walking a step or two or bumping something, all Mannequins in the vicinity tiptoe towards it. If it's something louder like you actually walking or if you knock something over, they break into a full on sprint that may or may not be faster than your speed boost, and they might be joined by others who hear the racket (which might be a lot if echoes are a thing in the level). You might have to throw things to divert their attention or use any noise the Mannequins themselves make against them, like immediately hiding as soon as one breaks a window or hits something. Either way, how sound is utilized is key.
YES THNAK YOU, was wanting patiently for someone to cover this :3
Imagine the SHB Monster Plushie is an easter egg in Dark Deception. That would be dope
Now that we know the stage will be Christmas themed, I would like to predict the name of the level will be Hellish Holiday.
I think it's called silent shoppers
@@agent-0 Isn't that the name of the soundtrack?
@@crossfire34 yeah,you're right I got It confused,It suits the possible level tho
The boss would probably be Santa or a statue
It’s been 2 years and nothing hopefully it finally comes out in 2024
It’s coming, but in two parts
Yah I know
Honestly this whole story line of this game is so sad, its seriously just like insane. The main protagonist found out his mistakes far to late but its kinda insane how he keeps risking his life to save the ones he once loved, to have restart.
So im guessing that with Chapter 5 and the mannequins we as the player might be ya know encountering our memory of meeting people when he was young but right after we meet the wife and have daughter because of what happened to them also with the song there might be a chance we are trying to escape the fear of being around people after an incident happened
Bierce may give us a ability that can make us "light weight". Meaning, she might give us a power that can allow us to prevent making vibrations.
Maybe gravity reduction or fly
@@Black-hole_090 fly wouldn’t work because 1. That would be consider hacking
2. *If the cool down is over your dead*
I don't think so. The reason I say that is because when you click on the ring altar in Bierce's ballroom there are only 6 slots total for power-ups. Vanish may very well be the last power up we get for the rest of the game.
@TwojaUlubionaRyba mute the whole body lol
Love the theories and speculations!
Dude thank you for all these videos!!
Your theories regarding Dark Deception are amazing! I'm looking forward to future videos from your channel, Mike!
Deceptively fast. Hunt by vibrations or possibly heat. Are these mannequins or Graboids? Welp if ya need some distractions Puppet combo has a nice selection. Loved your Blood Wash LP.
imagine doing some last minute christmas shopping and you hear: 6:30
I love the Mannequin’s design and animation it’s so unsettling and yet mesmerizing
The "silent shopper" theme kinda reminded me of simulacra.
The initial part at least
Dont know why.
I think the mannequins’ mechanics are opposite of the gold watchers, they only move when you look at them.
Maybe, but a bit different. Because it would be too easy. The player basicaly will only play looking to the floor and the map
it was confirmed they won't be like this
Or maybe they move when you move like a terrifying version of Super hot
chould be i do like the theory but whould not be to easy as they are the same as the gold watchers? if he right with being silence it whould make scene why we god mama bear with where you needed to use the invisble ability for thetrigger bears aswell to walk in there aere then running as we saw in superhorrorbro gameplay.
but a combain opstion whould also be intersting
@@slappybio1686 why do I actually want this
Dang still not here yet :(
I’m very excited to see the updates when they come out! Since the Mannequins are the fastest in the game I think that the speed boost would be useless or does very little to help. I think that the telekinesis power would be the most useful to see if it’s safe to move, that is if It works the way I think it does
7:47 I like how I'm the person Vince Livings replied to on Twitter, so I'm the reason we know how many levels are in Chapter 5
you're welcome?
Thank poo
You*
Thank poo
Someone else wouldve just said it then.
I feel like telepathy and stealth is key to passing the mannequin level. Since they are considered to be the fastest not by speed boost or teleport, and they are absolutely silent like gold watchers(kind of but still a bit relevant)
Little Nightmares Mannequins: Who are you?
Dark Deception Mannequins: you, but detect sounds like the janitor
Im loving the theories and the music and the more in depth lore keep it up superhorrorbro awesome content
On Instagram, ( i believe it was Vince ) posted that two versions of the mannequins designs. The one that was hinted at the end of chapter 4/one the main menu screen. The other was masculine like the mannequins in clothes sections of stores with out the head and one of the arms are shorter then the others. Their called the red ones. I'm curious about what the meaning of the "Male" mannequins will have to do with Doug's story. Maybe they have something to do with Bierce or Doug's late wife. My theory for them is that there the husbands/boyfriends that were with the women that Doug messed around with and that. I also have a weird idea about how the mannequins will work. When ever you see mannequins at a store their always in groups of 2 or more. Maybe they will travel in groups. Plus as a real kicker, what if there's a child like variant of mannequins or the boss is a mannequin like child that's based off tammy ? Like the mannequin's/boss's movements are one like a child with there parents at the store and the way to get around them is to distract them with vibrations.
Oooh this video is already getting me excited for Dark Deception chapter 5.
i love your work! Keep it up!
Omg super horror bro I have been waiting for this :0
I think that the pointy mannequin heads aren't worm-lookimg, but more like some of the ones you see in clothing stores. I think it makes more sense, as it would make the player feel fear for this thing that is sort of shaped like a person, but very clearly is not. It would add to the alone-ness I think the stage would have.
I just realized something glowstick entertainment pulled a batim and remastered all the chapters before releasing the next.
these things are freakish and are going to give so many nightmares. and with the 'festive' theming, it'll make it all the more eerie. and knowing we're gonna have four whole levels left? I was only expecting 2, so this is gonna be amazing. edge of my seat, can't wait
PLEASE keep making dd content i need it
Do any of you remember that one music track in Dark Deception Cutting Room Vol. 2? The One that is called "Mystery 2?" Notice how it sounds an awful lot like Christmas music... Maybe it has something to do with the Mannequin Level? Since the "Silent Shopper" soundtrack sounds very christmas like... Also why do I get the feeling that the name "Silent Shopper" is the name of the mannequins? Vince DID say once that him and the team will be labelling the name for the Mannequins "Mannequins" for now... So maybe the time is the time where they finally gave them a proper name?.. Welp, you know what Vince always says.. *You'll see!* 😉
I think it's true that Silent Shopper are the mannequins name. Since, Murder Monkey and Dread Ducky both have the same letter on the first words. These three monsters are the only monsters group that doesn't have voice acters. Really make sense. I hope they use this name as a mannequins name.
@@Ashraf-fw6rf Actually, I never noticed the whole Murder Monkey and Dread Ducky thing... That's actually a well made theory! Bravo!! 👏👏
What's funny is that they could this as the mannequins are the one shoppings and dead bodies are used as displays instead, that'd be creepy as hell
maybe the mannequins only detects vibrations that is too silent meaning we need to make as much noise as possible which makes the primal fear ability useful
if you dont understand, think of the "Lunk alarm" in planet fitness
I thought you had stopped this series, but I’m happy it’s still going and your just waiting for the new chapter.
I love this work or yours
I love it how Doug says that his family is taking the money away from him for medication and therapy but Doug also gives expensive gifts to his side chick
The final level could be something to do with his wife or Tammy since he cheated on his wife and didn't like Tammy much.The end of the level could be a cliffhanger to dark deception 2.
nah final level is definetly malak
i think you might be right about the mannequins moving only when the player does, i mean the fact the hunting music is called SILENT shopper does seem to imply we need to keep our noise minimal when collecting the shards from the mall in order to prevent the mannequins from tracking us down. Maybe the level will have obstacles that if touched will make noise and cause the mannequins to race to the location of the sound
The shopping mall entrance looks similar to the hospital entrance. Well we all know how well *that* went in terms of super fast enemies. This is going to be _soooo_ fun.
As if Little Nightmares didn't give me enough mannequin-based PTSD this year....
This is going to be the creepiest antagonist in the game yet
creepier than a giant mutated teddy bear talking in the voice of Twilight Sparkle?
I feel like the unique skill of the mannequins is when they are stunned in any way pieces of the mannequins body chip off revealing a more sinister scorpion like creature with sharp spikes and one large toothy mouth on the mannequins chest along with a slender long tongue that shoots out from it
I really injoyed the info and can't wait for the realease 👍
Man you just took my theory right out of my mouth
After listening to silent shopper the song repeatedly ，I think that the mannequins might move according to the beat of the song ，at first the beat of the song is slow（00-32）the mannequins will move slowly also，after that the beat starting to rise（32-53）and they will be a little bit faster, starting at 53-1:36 their speed hit their maximum，they will chase the players at a really high speed. like super horror bro said the chorus is like run for your life and we can hear some screaming sound l, Suggesting that that is will be very intense. The beat slow down again and the mannequins also slow down their speed.
（all of the above stated is just speculations )
I don't think this song will be the song for the boss fight.
The mannequin level will scare me no doubt because my very first Nightmare I can remember was being trapped at mall at night and getting attacked by a mannequin
I really enjoyed this video and I can say I always like it when u make DD content I also kinda want to see how would you react when the mannequins will chase you down I do also have some speculations of my own and yes it's below the read more so I won't force you just read it if u want to also have a great day/night and hope you're well
Speculations:
1. Chasing style: The mannequins roam on 4 legs instead of 2 although their hands are now spear like I can assume if we are too far from them we might catch them chasing us in 4 legs instead of 2 if they are the fastest then their movement should possibly be different so 4 instead of 2 would make sense also it makes the mannequins unique and much more interesting
2. Design choice: Another thing is although not related to gameplay but for design purposes how about the E note in this stage will be about the fact that these Mannequins are not individual souls but rather multiple in the same mannequin body I mean realistically speaking there would be multiple people wanting the same thing also accounting the song is "Silent Shopper" when we shop usually there will always be more than 1 item because there would be tons of people desiring to get such item especially some would even do whatever it takes to take that item
3. More design choices: Voiceless but only small instances can be heard since to be strict with the headless cone-shaped head thing they make no sound it would also make more sense as the song again "Silent Shopper" will make a whole new perspective is that not only Doug has to be quiet but now also have to be aware of his surroundings since they make no sound whatsoever this will kinda be like Agatha's hide and seek except much more intense
4. Final Boss: There usually is a final boss like the Giant clowns or the Giant golden watcher or Agatha chasing you down but in my Random Speculation and it's just my idea but since they are mannequins i believe the final boss will be an abomination a single entity fused with millions of different mannequins and going back to that multiple soul design choice speculation or concept idea will make this abomination much more horrifying than all the others but for a bonus maybe you can even hear screams of millions of souls in that abomination screaming no cap that is scary when you think hard enough but hey love your speculative analysis hope u have a great day/night thanks for reading also to those who will even read this entire thing and yes i don't comment often but hey better late than never as they say
I love the plush! If you plan to make another, I'd suggest implementing the film reel stuff from your Dark Deception M&M model in some way.(I have had an odd obsession with your DD model ever since I made a really good render with it)
But wait, every monster is supposed to have a soul inside.
The monkeys have murderers souls
Agatha has the soul of a child who suffered in school
The gold watchers have souls of greedy people
The duckies are souls of liars that took too far
The clowns are souls of pranksters that went too far
The nurses are souls of women who hate men
The joy joy gang are souls of animals who were tormented
And the mama bear is the souls of abusive mothers.
What soul will the mannequins have?
🤔 IDK
I think the mannequins represent Doug’s fear of the dark because they can’t see anything.
The Silent Shopper OST being a horror rendition of Carol Of The Bells kind of reminds me of Black Friday and How Shops will Blast [3:20] Christmas Music while People trample over eachother for Discounted Year End Products
Maybe chapter 5 will release in December 2023-2024 and the shopping mall could be in a black Friday setting?
There’s no way the gold watcher won’t be chilling somewhere in this chapter not an enemy but like the Reaper Nurses where there enjoying a cup of tea mannequins and statues so much in common
The music kinda sounds like Dead by Daylight's theme. I hope I'm not the only one who noticed that.🥰
'Chapter 5 will come out 2022'
*well that aged well*
Oh my god I haven’t heard you use the Myst on the Moors music I forever and it always creeps the shit out of me! I Love It.
I think I might have an idea of the power up that Bierce will grant us. It would be none other than flight or silence.
Flight: Upon using the ability, Doug will be able to fly above through unknown cracks or places of where he couldn’t access. He basically flies in free roam. Depending on what direction the camera is facing. Not to mention that he can stop the Mannequin from locating him. However, when using the ability, this will cause noise vibration as using the ability or any other ability will cause some vibration, thus letting the Mannequin know about Doug’s last known location and rushing there. There is a downfall if this might be possible. The soul shards will be at the bottom unless if Vince Livings decides to allow the soul shards to ascend at Doug’s altitude level too. If not then they will remain at the bottom and the power up can only be used for escaping. Duration will be 20 seconds and upgrading it will increase it by 5 seconds. Cooldown duration will be 15 seconds and would be 2 seconds longer with the upgrades.
Silence: Upon using the ability, this will cause the sense of vibration from the Mannequin to stop and won’t be able to detect us. However, they will continue to surround the circle of where Doug was. But this can only give a small sense of vibration which will make the Mannequin unsure if Doug was here or not. Just don’t use the power up in a corner or you can be located easily. If by chance, security cameras with sound detection will be in the gas station or mall too. You’ll have to use both abilities to keep yourself hidden. Sight and sound could be enabled and disabled from the Mannequin. Duration will be 18 seconds and upgrading it will be a 3 second increase every time. The cooldown will be 10 seconds and a 2 second increase from the upgrade.
These are all of the possibilities I could think of. I hope that there can be great power up suggestions form you guys.
