Is Poppy the villain in Poppy Playtime? 

Based on the clues in the Orientation Notebook, it’s possible that Poppy has been lying to us and may emerge as the villain in Chapter 4. 

The book suggests that Elliot Ludwig, the owner of Playtime, could still be alive. It’s also possible that he’s been hiding behind Prototype’s arm, controlling all the toys. This theory aligns with another one that claims Poppy could be Elliot’s daughter. That would explain why Prototype placed Poppy in a safe glass case when the Hour of Joy began, and the factory was turned into a slaughterhouse. It was Elliot trying to save his daughter. 

The book uncovers a fascinating detail: the office has a direct hallway that connects to Poppy’s room, hinting at a hidden connection between the two. This revelation adds another layer of intrigue to our theories. 

“There’s a passage that leads directly from Ludwig’s office to this [Poppy’s] room. I feel like that might be significant. Like he wanted to be able to visit Poppy,” the book says. 

If we follow these theories, then Poppy’s alliance with The Player in the first chapter doesn’t make any sense. If anything, it’s highly suspicious since she’s basically been working against the Prototype, the man who’s supposedly her father and savior. It’s possible that Poppy has only been lying to us, dragging us deeper into the Prototype’s trap.

This would possibly make her another pawn in the Prototype’s game, but a more elaborate one. So, it’s entirely possible that Poppy would reveal herself as the villain in Chapter 4.

It’s important to remember that these are just theories and shouldn’t be taken as gospel. However, there are still many puzzling aspects about Poppy that don’t add up. We’ll have to wait for Mob to start posting new VHS and teasers for Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 to uncover more.
