They made a Game Theory about my game? (Indigo Park's Creator Reacts) 

"Only Game Theory could take a game about an abandoned theme park and go "Oh! The British!"" is a quote that is going to live rent free in my head for weeks.

At least the dev isn't like the one from Hello Neighbor that begged MatPat for theories. He has my respect there.

“Only GameTheroy. Can play a game about an abandoned theme park. And go oh the British” -Unique Geese 2024

This feels like where the DM listens to players as they make theories. And checks their notes to see how close they are. But also, congrats on getting a theory on your game!

I find it hilarious how Game theory completely missed that Lloyd was actually the ORIGINAL big mascot for the park. With him being painted in the gate instead of Rambley in the old Isaac video, with the Rambley ride most probably initially being Lloyd ride and with statue of Lloyd being behind the stage in the theater - the same type of statue that is now Rambley and Isaac at the gate. Lloyd was most probably replaced by Rambley at some point (even "he hurts Lloyd" could be attributed to that). Rambley is actually the "Donald Duck" here.

I knew he'd react to the claim that Rambley is evil! Tom isn't even the only one who has that same idea.

I think one of the many things that indigo park devs got right when making the game is how well the story is distributed. no matter if game theory is correct on it the lore or not, most of the recent indie horror games, such as Poppy playtime, have executed the way they only hinted at certain parts of the story allowing the player to come up with their own theories of what might’ve happened in the story, makes indigo park an actually good game, because of how well the lore and story of what happened to the park is nicely timed and not revealing too much all at once, not allowing the player to automatically know what’s going on in the story- Props to you guys on that! ^^

If in the end the player has to kill or destroy Rambly I'll literally cry. extra DTFU (damn that's f*cked up) points if he frantically pleads for his life or something as he is being/about to be destroyed. still will be sad in the end if that happens because I love that cute raccoon. The part where Rambly goes into the monologue after killing Molly is really good.

My theory: the macaw animatronic says "that's not rambley, he hurts Loyd, he hurts Loyd" Rambley got a costume and a mascot..... He isn't in control of this mutant raccoon. One that looks like him but is much much more dangerous than the ai assistant

4:01 Its good to be humble but you need to accept the compliments and be proud, for a first proyect its amazing.

Dang that placeholder for the interaction where he would yap about stuff got me laughing up like "yo thassa egg man idk what to tell ya" 😂

Rambley is soooo cute and so great to have as a companion. I'd actually be sad if he ended up being evil, just because it's something new in the genre and he seems like a great character who's genuinely concerned and compassionate.

I love how geese casually denies things he said on stream responding to chat messages "He has the mind of a 3 year old" and he isnt the villian

I noticed that for most of the collectibles it's "Oh, I remember this, MY mom this and that" But for the Poodle plush it's second person "It doesn't look like any character YOU've seen in the parks." I also found it interesting, that the theory didn't comment on the Rambleberry magically materializing out of the arcade machine

14:49 maybe add a button that sorta pops out but fits in that’s like “hear Rambley’s opinion on this item”

I think the Salem The Skunk has something to do the park, because Mollie said "Get back in you're cage Bird" btw Mollie (Robot) Said "He hurt Lloyd, He hurt Lloyd"

Hear me out: Rambley is secretly evil, but not intensionally. He genuinely wants to help and restore the park, but he has no concept of the bad that could occur due to the restoration, nor how much pain the mascots were in.

"there's stuff that people haven't found" that line only is gonna bring 3x times more theories and gamers that wanna find every detail

Please god if Rambley is evil I will cry so hard like I genuinely love him so SO much I don't think I can handle that kinda betrayal man-- like I'd just die lmao

rambley, my favorite child. WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO BE CALLED EVIL?!

I feel like when the animatronic says “he hurts Lloyd” they are referring to the employees, remeber rambley is still in the digital world so he can’t do it, the animatronic even says “not rambley”, lastly remember how the characters act more animal rather then human, and think how lions act, aggressive and dangerous, so the employees with have to hurt Lloyd to get him to behave

I for one, just hope we get a mascot horror game where the cute friendly mascot assistant that is actually friendly to the player and doesn't betray you down the road.

_My_ game theory is that there are multiple murderous mascots of the same character running around. Proof: that absolute nonsense at the beginning of the Molly chase sequence where she teleports in front of you and goes "nothing personal, kid"

The merch we NEED is the Rambley shirt that's in the gift shop.

Talking about the similarities between Isaac and Walt reminded me of the old myth that Walt Disney was cryogenicly frozen under his statue at the theme park so that he could be brought back to life later. Could you imagine if the big twist was that it wasn't a myth in the Indigo Park universe and he was actually frozen under the theme park somewhere? ...Isaacs statue does move it's head to look at you when you enter the park.

Just a personal theory, but I think the noise that wards off Lloyd is just an alarm related to the heart monitor feature that Rambley mentions the Critter Cuff has when you get it. Getting "up close & personal" with Lloyd was Ed's 1st real brush with the living mascots. His heartrate spikes in panic, the alarm goes off/lights up, & Lloyd's driven off. By the time of Mollie's chase though, it *doesn't* react. Ed's gotten into the swing of things enough to keep his cool (enough to try - & fail - to fight Mollie off when she catches him instead of freezing like he did when Lloyd grabbed him).

So nice of uniquegeese to give smaller channels like game theory some exposure

"OH THE BRITISH" That freaking killed me lol

I'd honestly be super disappointed if Rambley turned out evil, having an AI character being on our side is such a breath of fresh air. Mascot games like Fnaf have always seemed to be about destruction and ruin and the one thing I noticed a lot of people have always seemed to want is to restore the characters back to what they once were. To repair them. So far I can't recall a single mascot game actually doing that, at best it's been about picking up the pieces and putting things to rest, especially whatever ghosts seems to linger. I don't know if Indigo will go that route, but there seems to be hints of it given Rambley's plan, then again... there seems to be hints pointing towards all sorts of conclusions. Honestly the thing I'm most curious about is that Ramble berry, how in the world did it get out of the arcade game?

*rambley decapitates molly, likely by accident, to save the player from her trying to murder them* game theory: EEEEEEEVILLLLLLLLL!!!!!

I really hope Rambly isn't evil. He's my favorite silly boi! And I can't wait for Chapter 2 of this amazing game you're working on! I'll be waiting for it, but until then, toodles!

Molly’s “blood” could have been hydraulic fluid, and it would have been a nod to Disney park lore: IIRC, when they were testing the original Abraham Lincoln animatronic at Disney Land, they used a red-colored hydraulic fluid; when it sprang a leak and collapsed, people freaked out and suggested they were reenacting Lincoln’s assassination. (Suffice it to say, they changed the color of the fluid afterward.) Maybe Indigo Park used the same red hydraulic fluid in its new mascots?

As long as Rambley is genuine and just a lil loveable guy tryna help, I will be perfectly happy. I refuse to watch that particular GT video cuz I am too scared they will make a good point.

I saw that video and I thought when he said “because I like trains!” was the best part lol:3

15:21 YESSSSS, I knew that Old Sport and Vegas reference was from Dsaf

I'm a big Disney Parks fan and I loved seeing all the references! Indigo Park is actually the first indie horror game I played since FNAF. I loved seeing the Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln reference banners on the mane stage and the rounded trash cans! It's something I haven't seen anyone mention yet and I think it should be appreciated :)

29:26 Game Theory didn’t show the entire scene. Sure, Rambly got jealous, but they cut-off Rambly asking why his friends didn’t get one too. He got mad for them and stuck out for them since only Lloyd got one. That’s the problem with this theory; Mason paved out character details during production about how Lloyd acts and he’s a jerk, Rambly tried to gloss-over what was happening since he just wants someone to talk to and help Indigo Park(if they’re desperate enough, they tend to see red as green), and why would Rambly kill Mollie? He has the motive for Lloyd, but not for Mollie unless if it was an act of mercy or a last resort for Rambly. Edit: Uniquegeese’s video: Meet the Cast-Indigo Park, at the 6;23(In that video), Mason states that Lloyd is self-centered and that the cast can barely tolerate him. So, even more of a reason why Rambly doesn’t like him. Imagine having this cocky jerk get this special merch while you and your friends get the normal merch…of course, you’d be mad at that.

In terms of Rambley lying, or perhaps a hint at something else, I took note of the fact that after he mentions how he doesn't have eyes in the backstage of the theater, a camera is in there watching us

Honestly the double eye texture issue just looks like light reflections in the eye because it’s so dark black, I would have thought nothing of it and the light was just reflecting lol

The animation and VA work of the game is amazing; you and the staff did such a great job!

Dude not even a day later 🤯🤯🤯bro is quick

Why would Rambley turn out to be 'evil'? Rambley has very much laid out his motivations already: --Hopes the player will trust him and be his first friend since being abandoned 8 years ago, so he won't have to be alone anymore. --Hopes to restore Indigo Park to be the amazing place it was before it was abandoned, because.. --Hopes to give his guests the best Indigo Park experience they can have, since this is his whole purpose in existing. --Wants to keep the player alive, because the player dying would fail all three of the previous goals. Rambley has already demonstrated the ability and willingness to break rules/protocol/his script in order to save the player's life; this shows he is not rigidly defined by his programming at this point. He has also expressed willingness to be open and honest with the player, and lying to the player doesn't benefit him in anyway related to the above motivations. He was really surprised and panicked when he saw the player being chased by Mollie, too. Every sign points to that Rambley really does care about the player. Sure, there are no small number of questions to be answered, but we only just met him and started our adventure. I'd love a chance to just stop and ask Rambley some questions about what he knows of the state of the park, and the mascots in particular, but given that we seem to have a silent protagonist at the moment, it doesn't seem like that would happen. I really like the idea of Rambley being an antithesis to GlaDOS, though. I enjoy the concept of having an AI friend helping me through the park, and trying his best to keep me safe because he genuinely cares about me. And I especially love the idea that I am _his_ ray of hope, too. Knowing that I am, in Rambley's words, his spark of sunshine, motivates me to brave an abandoned theme park full of killer mascots and who knows what other dangers, all just so I can help this lonely abandoned AI who has had it so rough, to finally have a purpose again. The idea of Rambley turning around and trying to murder the player at some point is almost unthinkable to me. At least, I don't believe he'd do so of his _own_ accord. Granted he's been abandoned and alone for almost a decade, and given the state of things, some kind of mental breakdown at some point is not something I'd put out of the question. Even so, Rambley gets the benefit of the doubt in my book. I _am_ a little dubious about the idea that the park can be restored, but if Rambley thinks it can be done, I'll gladly place my trust in him. And hey, for all I know this 'magic kingdom' of his really does have a little magic left in it...

Omg you deserve so much more subscribers indigo park is such a good game

I love Indigo Park so much good job on the game development. Can't wait for part 2 to come out

The one thing that keeps coming up for me is that mollie is in the cage in rambley rush, but seconds later she’s out in the open, being corrupted by Salem,and at no point do you see her pass you. This wouldn’t make any sense, unless, the one you fight is not actually mollie, but some sort of evil clone. Salem might be keeping the real mascots hostage, and she may have replaced them with evil clones, thus “and all my old friends are united again”. Rambley’s plan might be to get rid of the imposter clones, by killing them off 1 by 1. He might need the help of the real mascots who have physical bodies, to kill Salem. This also explains Lloyd and why the critter cuffs have a built in deterrent, which I assume rambley installed. Also in the music video, where he “fixes” mollie, could be replacing her evil clone with the real mascot. “He hurts Lloyd” might be him trying to hurt the clone. There is proof of a physical Rambley, in the fact that when you show the Rambley mask to Rambley and he plays the audio, the two staff members talk about being replaced, and right after they got the RACOON costume. These might not necessarily be clones, but also rogue physical counterparts in the sense that all of the characters might have an AI like Rambley, since Rambley has a physical counterpart. This also makes sense because Lloyd used to be the mascot before Rambley was, as seen in the intro video with Isaac indigo. This could make sense, with how Rambley is trapped in the entrance until you free him. Each of the AIs might be trapped in a different area of the map. But that’s just a theory, a GAME theory.

I just can’t believe Matt missed most of the Lloyd encounters lol but ye I’m excited to see were Indigo park goes in the future

I'm glad the kickstarter fundraiser was successful! Great job, I can't wait to see chapter 2

I am IN LOVE with Rambley! I love your game UniqueGeese! I love playing it!

I can only guess his name is Edwin. Reference to the mystery of Edwin Drood where the characters in the unfinished story try to solve a murder. Edwin must have some sort of unsolved mystery relating to their past in the park.

I hope rambley is a sweet villain, someone who just wants to be free from the AI but doesn't want to see anyone truly hurt and wants to protect the player. I think the end with him closing the door on molly was him reacting to a code that has him required to help/save the humans from harm. I truly think he will be a sweet boy who only does bad things to his friends when necessary to protect humans. I also think the animatronic saying rambley hurts lloyd is talking about the cuff the player gets at the beginning of the game. I truly think he doesnt want to hurt the mascots.

bro thank u for making the mascot of indigo park a raccoon i absolutely love raccoons

It's an epic start to a came series! Congrats on the success! I love Rambley's optimistic charisma. He's very human for an a.i.

Oh boy. Was waiting for you to react to this. You uploaded it quick today too. But yeah, I think it's funny people are theorizing Rambley to be evil when you confirmed he wasn't multiple times. 😂

Dude, it has to feel like you're constantly about to explode, watching someone try to solve your game's lore and just having to sit there and be like "Interesting..." when internally you're just SCREAMING about every detail they're getting right or wrong

I'm loving the game itself so far. The music is really on point for me and my 4 year old sings along and asks for the Rambley Review. Good job with Chapter 1. Can't wait for more of the game!

Two theories. First, in “The Mane Stage” area, Loyd isnt trying to hurt the player, he’s trying to communicate. When he first appears and gets trapped under the box, I feel his reaction would have been more violent if he were trying to kill you. And the second time he appears, the players back is turned. Why didnt he just pounce on you? And wouldnt a lion, even a mutant one, bite first if it were trying to kill? The reason molly just tries to kill, is the same reason loyd has what appears to blood on his hands/paws. There have been others that came to the park, and if ts a choice between letting the AI “win” or killing you, theyre going with kill. The second theory, this ones a lot more of the wall and admittedly probably wrong. But what if rambly dosnt have a mutant yet, and the reason he’s running you around the park, is because he’s gonna use the player character as the “base structure” of the rambly mutant? Like maybe the critter cuff is taking biometric and genetic readings to use in the “transformation”. Or even actively altering your DNA. And like maybe the AI can transfer into you once youve been altered.

Salem Skunk's name could be a reference to the Salem Witch Trials (1692-1693). People were falsely accused of witchcraft and had to confess or be hung. Their spell (or witchcraft) could've been seen as a bad influence on the other mascot, when she’s actually doing something good (just like Tom said). I posted this in the Game Theory's comment section.

Man, seeing you talk about Game Theory in such great respect over the past year, and seeing how far you’ve come….It honestly feels like a dream.

I love old Rambley voice, like that its included. Current Rambley is awesome.

8:30 instantly thought of Ed and Lorraine Warren, as i had just finished binge watching the conjuring movies.

I extremely love how all Mason could do is just sitting there unable to say anything while having a LOT to say in mind ( i can see him holding his smile many time it's so cute😂) Also, the way he spamming "I can't confirm nor deny it" is kinda funny to me. He's trying his best to not ruin the fun for us... can't wait for next chapter

Imagine Geese just deciding to contradict the theories on purpose, just to make the theorists lose their sleep 🤣

Congrats on Chapter 2 being funded! Can't wait for it!!!!! Loving this game so far!

just finished indigo park and wow just wow ! its absolutely amazing! the ending song almost made me tear ! I enjoyed it and can't wait for Chapter 2

Rambley’s Railroad foreshadows the order of the characters in the chapters. 1-Mollie (confirmed) 2-Finley (teased) 3-Salem (seemingly) 4-Lloyd (not impossible)

6:20 If I ever make a fangame of Indigo Park, I’m just going to reference this

As someone who usually takes a while to warm up to games (except fnaf and undertale which were immediate loves) it took me till chapter 3 to get on the poppy train I have to say I almost immediately loved indigo park! It reminds me of that first excitement I experienced when security breach came out! I love the little play on to Disney and it just looks amazing over all! Keep up the amazing work my friend! You’re doing great! I love all the designs you made they’re all well thought and lovely

Oml, but I love your game- character design, lore, idea, style is just so *MMMM* 🤌

Rambley is love rambley is life

Here is what I think about it: I don’t think Rambley is the villain, if you think about it the park was closed for years which means nobody could fix his problems and maybe because of that he can be sometimes wrong about things. And about the Rambley hurting Lloyd maybe what she meant was that she was answering someone’s question if Rambley hurts Lloyd and she answered it that it wasn’t him but he (maybe the staff) hurts Lloyd.

Was streaming this yesterday and had SUCH a fun time, will keep up with it tonight too! someone came into my chat that looked like they may have been the creator of this game - so if it was you, thank you! (: amazing work

I got the Rambley plush today! Also planning on posting my Twitch playthrough soon!

Just a quick thing here for any future theories on this game, Pay attention to the opening sequences. Two friends are chatting about RETURNING to a park they went to as kids. And throughout the game, through the collectables, see the same thing. you have obviously been to the park before. Now, if you take a quick listen to a few of Rambley's first words to the player, they are "I don't seem to have your face in our guest list. Is this your first time here at the park? Or did you just get plastic surgery?". This is a small detail, but might imply that the player might have been involved in some sort of accident at some point. Either that, or the 8 years difference might be affecting it... or its just for emersion. Anyway, W game, I've been looking forward to it for so long.

Mr. Geese, Rambley is not evil! You must prove to the fans that Rambley is pure good all the way! I know you can! Just don’t let any nonsense like that get to you! Just prove them wrong! Prove to them that Rambley is a really good boy!

You genuinely have gold on your hands my guy, please keep going. 🙏

Funny enough that video is what made me try your game and I'm so excited to play capture 2. I'm excited to see where the story goes

My personal theory is Ed is just Kevin Defunctland

My theory on the music video is that rambley isn’t “rewriting history”, he’s just repressing the memory of killing mollie because it hurts him to think about, and he would much rather believe he saved her.

I still can't believe Game Theory made an entire episode about your game Mason this just proves that a lot of people really loved it people have been blowing this game up since its release I still can't believe you went from having no game design experience to developing a game that everyone loves and we don't know much about chapter 2 at the moment but chances are when it does eventually release it'll be even more popular heck I think chapter 2 might be even more popular than chapter 1 but I guess we'll have to wait and see

Congrats! I would cry on the floor for 25 minutes of joy if i were in your place!

Can’t wait to see Chapter 2. Also, just out of curiosity, the Rambley Mask that has an audio recording, when a guy says “old sport”, is that a Dayshit at Freddy’s Reference?

This theory is interesting. Please dont go down the Hello Neighbor devs route and try to adjust your story to match or twist the theories people make.

It's a right of passage for most games to have a game theory made about them, and amigo, if you and your team keeps going the way it is, Tom is gonna be making so many theory's

Oh my gosh! Congrats congrats~!!

i remember being a fan of uniquegeese a long time ago seeing him get so much recognition and fame from a project that he and many people love is so amazing to me i hope you and indigo park grow even more

You can see him struggling to not say something all of this video and I love it. Also - I haven't had the time to play the first chapter, and the DSAF reference was a bit of a jumpscare. I freaking love DSAF and Playtime with Percy, the references are all getting to me and it makes me feel like there are more I'm not getting lol.

Just placed my order! cant wait to own my own Rambley!!!!

I got to say UniqueGeese. You are the most dedicated fan to ever make an impressive mascot horror game. Dedication and experience makes progress. Keep up the good work!👍

I'm more in the mindset that the rambley WE follow through the game is good. Like no joke, or trick or anything. Pure good natured, since he was stuck at the entrance. While a different version or upgraded one is like Lloyd or Molly. If there can be two Mollys there can be two Rambleys. While I theorize there was another AI, which got corrupted. Possibly after an attempt to hack the park by a competitor went horribly wrong. Is the one who caused the whole park shutdown. Corrupting the other AI, rambley being immune to an extent at least the one at the entrance. This AI being Salem, ironically used as the park's security system as opposed to Rambley being more of the greeting tour guide. While the supposed hackers being the ones where that Lamb plush originated. Since as Rambley said it wasn't an Indigo Park object, must be from another place.. Belongs in the trash.

Unrelated to the video, but I just had a realisation of how big this game is Rambley is the top campaign in makeship, and as of writing this there are 9549 units sold, and assuming the sales cut is around, let's guess 70/30, that's 200k dollars ON TOP of the kickstarter that's about to hit 250k dollars. *That's almost half a million dollars off of a single fucking chapter and the numbers are still rising...* It's genuinely bizarre to watch Mason's videos and streams ever since he had around 90k subs 3 years ago and then see him getting this huge of a success, and I feel nothing but happiness for him, and if I, a rando on the internet that just happens to like his stuff, am this happy, I cannot imagine how Mason is feeling right now

I didn’t expect to like indigo park but I do hope for a part 2

i think that rambly is honestly good since he just wants to help but I think he knows what happend and maybe he also knows that there is no saving his friends and wants to rebuild new ones ones that arent evil or under the influence of abuse or intoxicated

I was also thinking of some sort of animal experimentation or something because of that "get back in your cage, bird" line

This man is a legend, reacting to a game theory about his game. I really hope to work as a VA for him one day.

8:25 I would love to see that the protagonist’s name would be a reference to hoot and chief or other influential figures in Disney urban exploration, since that’s basically what the protagonist is doing and it’s a fascinating subset of Disney parks fandom

If you think about it, the animals/creatures are bad because the workers mistreated them that way, and because of that they are now trying to kill us. So technically, they were the ones to decide to kill people and considering that we aren't even the ones who mistreated them that way means this is evil content. Also, at the end of the chase scene when the...thing happened, Rambley only had a few seconds to decide whether to spare the life of his past friend who was now evil, or to save the life of his new friend. In theory, you are the one who can bring the chance to repair the park, fix his friends (even Lloyd) and possibly bring Rambley into physical form! While on the other hand, he could let you die and he would be stuck there for who knows how long. Even when he did confess about the whole truth, who knows if he was lying or not, and if he is, he could be making up ways to help you feel better and to make a excuse for himself to show you around the park! Like when he said it was a Tuesday special, he could have lied so that you could go on without a login or whatever he wanted you to do. But in the end, each scenarios are possible and I do agree with @Rikika333. So that is my conclusion. Good day.

so excited to see where the story goes! you guys are making some amazing stuff!

I noticed the Jurassic Park and the DSAF references. I see you, and it’d be really cool if this project takes off

Indigo Park is really inspiring you doing great! (better than anything I can do)

I just wanna say I love this game so far and I can't wait for a Finley plush (I hope there will be one)!
