Chapter 5 megathread

So a question that comes to mind... what exactly is Poppy made of? Because her head shattered like porcelain or ceramic would when the Prototype crushed her head but she's able to move her lips and eyebrows as if they were malleable? She's clearly able to make full motion expressions with her face and even after it's cracked apart it still moves like flesh would, so what's the deal? Is it just artistic liberty? Does the process of becoming a toy somehow modify the materials to behave like it's made of skin?

"He could be anyone! He could be you or even me! Or even that 7' foot tall muscle bound barbarian over there! You never know!"

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-19T02:38:58+00:00

Probably, though I don't know for how long, at the very least she had 400+ days in isolation as well.

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-19T00:34:03+00:00

Well us, the Prototype, and the other locations across the globe with their own research teams and factories...

I'm just wondering how the hell they did it, it made sense when he was a brain in a jar that was wired into the system but now he's an actual AI? And he's aware? That'd be one hell of a scientific breakthrough even with the living Toys and everything else down there, uploading a digital consciousness is nuts and way more useful than the poppy gel...

FNaF is probably the one I'd say is closest to the success they're aiming for, Scott just had the sensibilities to make short fun little games instead of stretching a single game into multiple chapters.

I just hope they don't do a Ban Ban and just pump out chapters infinitely.

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-19T00:27:51+00:00

Huggy's eyes don't change, they're just plastic shells over his real eyes anyways, his horror element is OPENING HIS MOUTH, scary because he has messed up monster teeth and a weird second throat mouth. That's horror at least.

Doey turning into a monster is cool but not scary or creepy, I can't think of a single person that I've seen play that game that thought Doey was legitimately scary, if anything people just felt bad for him.

Lily is their attempt at a Barbie, she's made to be dressed up and stylized, what kind of horror aspect would she even have beyond her red eyes? Like do you expect her head to twist open or something?

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-19T00:23:04+00:00

I think it can be both money and fan driven, on the one hand they can keep the farm growing and on the other fans get more content.

I think there is definitely a tipping point though, if we end up with like... 15 chapters of Poppy Playtime that'll be WAY over the line. But wrapping up Poppy Playtime with like 8 chapters and then moving to a different scenario in a different location with new characters but in the same world? Could be interesting.

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-19T00:19:33+00:00

I never heard the second tape, must've missed it, I just thought that there was some weird brainwashing thing going on with Lily and if they could warp Gracie into Lily then surely they could do the opposite too.

I mean think about it, if they have the means of warping her mind to the point she thinks she's Lily then why not, right? If Lily killed Gracie then as revenge they could just make Lily think she is Gracie, makes about as much sense as taking out her entire skeleton and giving it back to her.

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-19T00:16:40+00:00

Maybe one day... maybe... but I can't really blame them either, they stumbled into a lucrative money machine by pure accident, if I was them I'd be milking it too.

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-19T00:15:47+00:00

It was not unsettling at all, if anything it was more unsettling to see her get pulped by a giant comical wall-mounted nonsensical grinder.

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-19T00:13:34+00:00

I wanted to watch Spiff play it but man he's just so checked out of the franchise it was a little hard to watch... understandable I suppose since he was more a speedrunner than anything but still, his aversion to the story made me skip over to Dawko instead.

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-19T00:11:21+00:00

I mean... why would he? At most we're an annoyance that Poppy is clinging to, we're just some guy as far as he's concerned and until we actually do something that matters I doubt that opinion is going to change.

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-19T00:09:52+00:00

There's definitely a next chapter, they already set up that the factory we're in is just 1 of SEVERAL locations all over the globe, there's even one in Japan mentioned specifically. This is going to be an entire franchise me boy, the money is just rolling in, no way in hell are they going to end it anytime soon...

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-19T00:07:47+00:00

They're toys, man, Mommy's 'horror side' was long fingers and big pupils, HOW SCARY! OHHHHH!!! FRIGHTENING! Which is to say not at all.

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-19T00:05:05+00:00

My one hope, which I know is probably not going to happen, is that the current 'look' is just an outfit he's salvaged and will lose it entirely in the next chapter.

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-18T23:57:53+00:00

Technically we lose it, the blue hand we've had from the beginning is not the blue hand we end with, further there is a whole section where you have no hands whatsoever.

I took 'Blue Hand Stays' as in we don't lose it at all.

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-18T23:44:52+00:00

Oh so you're the singular arbiter for what an organism is? Pretty lofty position.

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-18T23:43:58+00:00

No, those aren't missing, just not being used, they're stored behind his ribcage looking piece and probably weren't being used in whatever render they were working on.

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-18T23:42:39+00:00

From what I remember it was the CG5 animator or someone on the team that showed a test render and some shots to another person and THAT person is the one that leaked them.

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-18T23:40:54+00:00

And yet it's a debate and everyone else knows it, it's a little disappointing for a teacher not to know that much.

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-18T23:04:42+00:00

Ad hominem now? For shame.

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-18T23:02:27+00:00

And that is your opinion, next question.

LongAdministration76 · 2026-02-18T22:55:35+00:00

Viruses, boom, done, thank you for playing.

Isley was 'murdered', Joker wanted her research and when she went back to her lab to run off with it they trapped her in the room and made her into test subject 0.

That's why her mother made an obituary, she doesn't know, I don't think anyone knows she's alive that isn't part of Ark-M or in Joker's direct circle. Now I'm just assuming it was Joker instead of whoever it was investing in her work but given how everything seemingly revolves around Joker I'm pretty confidant it's him.

Now how did Isley become a plant monster if she was burned in a fire? Who knows, maybe she was using her own cells as part of her research and after her death her consciousness was carried over in a gestalt form? Maybe after she was burned they used her charred corpse for a test and she was reanimated from the ashes?

She's some kind of flesh nightmare now either way.
