Why Does Huggy Wuggy Appear In Our Hallucination? 

I think it’s pretty obvious that Huggy Wuggy really f*cked up the protagonist mentally and physically as his basically the first living encounter we have of playtime co’s horrible experiments. But it could also be because the protagonist felt guilt for helping the company continue their horrific deeds and possible unintentional since most co workers didn’t even know what the scientists were doing. And for why some of the toys recognize them, it could just be them recognizing us as a playtime worker and not personally know us.

My theory is that he only sees huggy wuggy because he himself was working on huggy wuggy before he left the company . So he only fills guilt because he was one of the workers who transported the soul to huggy wuggy. So he probably left the company cause he realized that all of this was crazy.

Fun fact: in home sweet home, near one of the doors there is a reversed audio, if you reverse it you hear "I find your presence intrusive, after all this time you return you come in here and you kill and murder, you privilege and destroy, your presence was demanded 10 years ago and you didnt show up, 8/8/1995 you were supposed to be here, why werent you here, you missed the event, you missed the meeting, you missed the party, you have no right to be here"

I agree on the 1st theory. The protagonist must have been scared of Huggy Wuggy, since it was our first time encountering a true, living, breathing, terrifying looking creature. And the run in the vents were probably the most terrifying thing in Poppy Playtime by far, it was beyond scary. As if it scared all of us, why wouldn't it scare the protagonist? That just wouldn't make sense.

I do believe they brought him back because its one of the most iconic characters in the franchise, and being able to do promotional material with him in it would gather plenty of attention from fans knowing that everyone thinks he is dead.

Id argue Huggy showed but because he's just objectively the scariest. Unlike the others we don't see Huggy speak or think like Mommy Long Legs or Catnap. Huggy is like an animal attacking our instinctual fears

1 of 3 reasons for me: 1. Huggy Wuggy was our favorite childhood toy, so us seeing him as a nightmare makes sense. 2. Truama related to creating Huggy Wuggy. We may have been one of the scientists working on Huggy, and the trauma of harming an innocent child to create a living toy was too much for us. 3. Truama related to Huggy Wuggy's death. Seeing a 17-foot tall toy come to life and try to kill you in an enclosed space would truamatize anyone. Especially considering we may feel guilty about killing him ourselves.

Personally I think the hallucination of Huggy stems from trauma, maybe not in making him, but the trauma of seeing a massive toy almost twice your size come to life, chase you, nearly kill you, and then you killing it off yourself by chucking it over the edge of a catwalk… we may feel guilty about that and the unease of us not knowing if Huggy is truly dead could still be lingering in our mind

the way huggy wuggy chases us in the hallucination resembles the vent chase

I think Huggy Wuggy was the protagonist's favorite childhood toy. Remember that Huggy was far more successful than Poppy ever was

6:37 yes, the hallucination did occur earlier than that. In the room with guilt haunts you on the floor and where you go in a circle before the hallway finally opens. So we were hallucinating/having a nightmare. I think that we as the ex-employee experimented on huggy the most, and we were the ones that made the transformation work because we are haunted with guilt, we made this happen. But then again, that’s just a theory, A GAAAAAAAME THEORY

I think that the reason the main protagonist is alive is because they didn’t come to work on 8/8/1995 (aka the day the hour of joy took place) at some point while you are going through the home sweet home hallways, a radio talks specifically to you. This is what I remember from the radio from memory: “8/8/1995 you were expected why weren’t you here 8/8/1995 you missed it you missed the event you missed the meeting you missed the party you have no right to be here”

I have a theory about why huggy appears. He is the first toy to come at us, he stalks us, then chases us, and we just barely escape him. He is the initial trauma of this journey. We send him tmbling down to the depths in chapter one, but we don't see the prototype take him like we did with mommy and catnap. In the water treatment plant of chapter 2 there is a vent with blue fur scattered around it. There's a higher than likely chance huggy isn't dead, he's licking his wounds and coming for us when he's ready. If the player knows this, he'd be paranoid of him coming back.

I believe that Its that we feel guilt, because we shouldve died by the hands of Huggy in the hour of joy, and thats why we see him

I think someone (prototype) most likely stumbled upon the employee list so hed hav a rough checklist lik "steve smith? huggy bit his head off. tommy jetson? boxy is chasing him. where's bett- nvm, the mini smilling critters r eatin her" and so on it would not surprise me if the prototype is watchin player through the cameras and was lik "hey! we missed one!"

my theory would be that the reason that Huggy appeared and no one else is bc YOU were one of the scientists or at least employees that was responsible for at least that one character being created. Bc think about it, when Huggy is chasing you its consistent, but when mommy is chasing you during the "hide and seek" portion you have that little bit of downtime almost as if shes not as interested in you as it seems. but again w Huggy when the chase sequence begins it doesn't end until he falls to his death towards the end of Chapter 1. and him appearing in your hallucination is his way of continuing the hunt and being able to "successfully" kill you

Huggy wuggy is the only one the Main Character isn't certain about death... seeing claw marks , blue fur , and blood on the walls in chapter 2. I suspect that they are afraid that huggy wuggy has been seeking revenge and is still coming after the Main Character.

I think it’s because Huggy Wuggy was the first one to be introduced and the first to chase us. Also, the radio that says stuff backwards says that the main player was suppose to be at a meeting at the date the Hour of Joy occurred, and the player most likely feels guilt for not being there.

Huggy Wuggy is the only toy who we don’t see the remnants of a body. Mommy and Catnap die right in front of us but Huggy fell into the abyss. He could very much still be alive and the player anticipates his return.

Chapter 3 has basically showed tons of evidence if huggy being alive. We've never seen any formal death for huggy in chapter 1 only blood marks and hair in chapter 2. Seems like chapter 3 serves a hallucinagenic perspective of the story. One thing ive noticed we're themes of vision vs reality and I believe the sunflower represents this idea in contrast to the poppy flower. I believe our character is the sunflower. Or maybe im just overthinking into narnia Small piece of text I found online: The tall yellow flowers swaying in the breeze like children at play”-Langston Hughes • “A great yellow sunflower hung on a beam smiling down at me”-Mary Oliver • “As I watched them swaying I thought of how we should never give up”-Robert Frost • “I looked up into the sky and saw a single sunflower”-William Wordsworth.

We can see he has the same walking Pattern as chapter 1 huggy so maybe we’re traumatized by him

Well, I have the theory that the soul that possess huggy is, call me crazy, our child, because he might had some disease that had no cure, except for turning him into huggy, and the experiment went well... until the hour of joy, where I think the prototype had set all the toys off, making them into murderous monsters they are now, but some of them thinking for themselves.

Also. When Horror-Huggy chase us down the hallway. Horror-Huggy's movements are the same as when Huggy Wuggy chased us through the vents. With hands on the walls, helping Huggy to push forward faster.

My Poppy Playtime Lore Theory: Our protagonist is Harley Sawyer or someone important that had something to do with the experiments: In chapter 2 we go down a slide that brings us to a room. When we turn around we see 4 slides. 3 visible names of the heads of the innovation team and 1 completely purposely covered and ruined with the letters of the name everywhere on the floor. I believe it’s our protagonist’s name. (Still haven’t seen someone try to make a name out of the letters) In chapter 3 The Hallways with the radio talking about a dead body of a child found outside the premises of the facility in a muffled bag with missing bones, spine and organs is actually what I suspect our protagonists doing before escaping the facility and leaving the bag to be found (because of our guilt) so people could realize what was going on in the facility. Catnap is the only creature with bones and a very visible Spine. He was the kid found in the muffled bag. The place is structured the same as in the infamous horror game ‘Silent Hill PT.’ It’s way to hint to us that this is our protagonist having PTSD going on having guilt trip while hallucinating his actions. The kids pictures are hallucinations of the children our protagonist knew and eventually transformed into toys. The prototype is making us experience the horrors that we created guiding us through the facility with VSH Tapes he purposely placed, using Poppy, and making us undo all our wrong doing making us kill all the toys/horrors we created along the way. Who and what is the Prototype?: The Prototype might be an amalgamation of different kids and employees. (Elliot Ludwig too) The same employees they wanted to get rid of. That explains the skeleton with the construction worker’s helmet. Catnap was tasked by the prototype to put Poppy in stasis with the poppy gas to keep her safe during the “Hour of joy” therefore not being able to do anything and listening to all the horrors while under the gas and vividly hallucinating everything. A Horrible Experience as she describes. We find hung toys in catnap cell, and later on we see him scooping up a small Bunzo Bunny. It was Catnap who hung all the toys around the facility and outside poppy’s room, warning other toys not to get in that room therefore protecting Poppy from the the toys going berserk during the Hour of joy, as the Prototype asked. (He even placed the prototype’s introduction tape outside of her room). In Chapter 3 we can find some “Baby Cots”. The baby infants that disappeared got transformed into the small smiling critters that later crawl towards the player just like babies because they never got taught to walk. Poppy’s Angel: When Dogday refers to us as “Poppy’s Angel” because Poppy calls us like that, I think she is implying we are the Angel of death. In certain horror stories the Angel of death is attributed to serial killers or Surgeons (Doctors) Just like i suspect our protagonist, Harley Sawyer or a cruel surgeon that took part in the experiments. At the end of chapter 3, Poppy and the prototype, lead us down to the Laboratories or as someone found out going through cut files, a “Prison” (a sign was found in beta version) she needs us down there “to kill the prototype”. We know the prototype was held in a cell, But how would the prototype still be trapped down there if the vault was sealed shut and we see him roam around the whole facility through all the chapters following us? Very suspicious. I think she and the prototype might be planning to bring us to the laboratories and use our body as a vessel (Just like in FNAF when our body gets scooped and occupied by the amalgamation, the prototype is an amalgamation too and he might be scooping the toys as Mommy Longlegs says to “make me part of him” so he can make everyone finally escape in a human body.) that’s why Poppy says: “we need you”. The Protagonist’s PTSD: The Screams we hear from pressings the buttons on the cardboard cutouts, might be flashbacks or some form of ptsd from when the protagonist was experimenting (transforming) the kids into the “smiling critters” while they where still conscious. We know that the gas triggered some memories and flashbacks visually and audible too. that explains why the smiling critters are talking directly to the protagonist. I think since the beginning of the game the cardboards don’t actually work and in reality they all Buzz or glitch like some that we find malfunctioning. The ones we are able to hear is because our PTSD triggers and flashbacks of the children our protagonist directly Experimented on. The Buzz or glitching of some cardboards is because our protagonist didn’t experiment on them and therefore it doesn’t trigger ptsd or direct memories that makes our protagonist hallucinate voices because we didn’t have direct connection with those experiments or children. The cardboard talking directly to us was a big clue. Kissy Missy’s death and the return of Huggy Wuggy: In Chapter 3 Kissy Missy turned blue for a good moment when she first catches us before being stopped by Poppy in chapter 3. It was a very weird purposely lighting color change. I strongly believe that this is Mob Games hinting at us that Kissy was going to get killed by Huggy Wuggy. He’s back, he never died. Huggy has always been stalking us since the beginning of chapter 1. He crawls through vents to peek at the player (most people don’t notice this detail while playing) In chapter 2 you can find his “Furr”and blood next to some vents and walls. In the end of chapter 3 You can clearly hear Huggy’s jumpscare/attack scream. Kissy was not designed to be dangerous as Huggy Wuggy. Huggy was designed to be a Security System, meant to kill and have those sharp teeth. I don’t think kissy can even emit a sound or even open her mouth. It’s a bit far stretched but could it be possible that Kissy’s body is going to be used by a badly injured Huggy, to get revenge against us when we least expect it in the next upcoming chapters? (This would explain Kissy Missy’s suspicious color shift) Who is Ollie? A mysterious and very suspicious character that sometimes refers as “We” for some reason. All of us think he’s a surviving kid, but the math doesn’t add up, in the present time, when chapter 3 takes place, he should be 18 years old or more. Then why does he sound like a child? The only explanation is that he is a child in a toy’s body as well. He’s been watching us ever since we turned on the power of the facility in chapter 1. Spying on us through the CCTV cameras we see all around the facility, Opening doors and vents for us. Even back when Huggy Wuggy first chases us through the vent, he was closing doors not to get us killed but to make sure we reached poppy. In Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 poster shows us the hand of the prototype ‘controlling’ Mommy Long Legs, therefore telling us ‘The Prototype Has Control Over Everything’ "That shrine, did it scare you? If you thought that was terrifying just wait until you see the real thing!" Ollie is admitting that he himself has seen the Prototype. (Because he is part of it) I strongly believe Ollie is a voice/soul part of the amalgamation of the Prototype. Thank you for reading this, let me know what you think about this Poppy Playtime Lore theory, and I would like to hear yours too!

We actually do have confirmation of what happened, the player was still an employee at the time but didn’t show up to work that day and so they survived.

I think that our character was on the first floor of the Building when the Toys Attacked and that's how we got away as we just had to get to the door exit. I do find it strange that everyone seems to recognize us.

0:51 i love how he stretches his arm out so far, it adds to the scariness

I think it’s because the protagonist may have conducted/worked on huggy wuggy before the hour of joy. This leads to him believing huggy wuggy seeks brutal vengeance on the protagonist.

it could also be that they (the player character/protaganist) worked on Huggy Wuggy, he said "what you've done" so we know they must've been working on some of the experiments, and it'd make sense if the halucination was of one of the toys they were working on.

The player probably has a personal connection to huggy that would make them more emotionally attached to him. Maybe the person you play as helped create Huggy or watched him or something.

Now i see how much the graphics has changed in poppy playtime

I have a theory, it might be because we were one of the people who were part if the Huggy Wuggy test, so we were like the lead person conducting the tests on Huggy Wuggy when he was a kid.

So the main protagonist made the right choice by leaving years before the hour of joy. As he would have been killed or forced to hide until the toys went else where.

This made me realize how funny it is that Huggy Wuggy isn't even the main antagonist. He's literally plastered all over the game, the merch, the marketing, everything and yet he was in the first 40 minutes of the game and then died horribly

So ima try to make sense so here is my *game theory* The player was a staff employee who helped experiment the toys. All the toys knew him because he was there when they got experimented. So they kill anyone who done this to them. Also the tape about a missing boy who had Some of his organs out of his body is another theory that they put organs in the toys to give them life. And this would make sense as ms delight has real human muscle skin because of her ripped face. Another fact that might be true is that the huggy wuggy chapter 3 chase wasn’t a hallucination. Maybe it was but it was real or another alternate ending from catnaps gas. So these are my theories.

That Ch 1 gameplay feels soooo nalstolgic I remember when I first saw a poppy playtime ch1 play through

The game takes place in 2005. We know this because of the reversed audio that appears at some point in the game I don’t know where it is

Ms. delight says "how are you... alive" so i think we managed to escape the hour of joy somehow and we came back to see if there were any more survivors

Theory: The player sees Huggy Wuggy because he was at the Hour of Joy when it occured, but managed to escape before he died, and then, years later, he comes back because he thinks that his coworkers are somehow still alive, but theyre not, and that scarred the player, so when The Red Smoke puts the player into a nightmare, Huggy Wuggy appears there, as the worker was most likely in the main entrance, watching Huggy attack people while he escaped. afterwards, he may have forgotten about the experience somehow, like maybe his memories got wiped or something. when he got the letter, he remembered his coworkers, and came back for them. after Poppy shows us the tape, we remember everything that happened there. ik this is a long theory, and if your reading this message then you are the best :3

I believe the last one. I have some evidence to support it. First, what toy is standing in the main atrium? Huggy wuggy. What toy is the one holding a grabpack? Huggy wiggy. And, in the playtime co training video, they use a huggy wuggy puppet. It's likely that it's huggy wuggy because he's so prevalent, and our subconscious chose him because he the most iconic character.

your rlly underrated

i think it’s just his memory’s coming togethor of playtime co factory making that horror of a nightmare

My theory is that player and huggy wuggy were friends before huggy was turned into what he is now and player was the one who made him like that, so now he feels guilt and his hallucinations led to him seeing huggy as huggy wuggy comes back for revenge because he didn't get to k!ll him when it was the hour of joy.

My theory is that the player was one of the workers that transported the soul to huggy wuggys body

my theory is that we the player worked on huggy wuggy and maybe we never wanted to experiment on any of the toys so we left the company and maybe huggy might remember us not being fast at running away which might explain why when we first encountered him he was just walking instead of running at us like how he did with the other staff or huggy only walked towards to make us fear him because he might have known that you would have guilt and regret so when we fall asleep cat nap instead of killing us right away he wanted to be very scared and make us remember what we did to huggy wuggy which is why that nightmare huggy wuggy comes out of the tv it's probably the revenge full huggy wuggys soul just entering your dream thanks to cat nap always being near you

My theory is that the nightmare huggy image was actually in chapt 1 files so we were actually kind of supposed to fear huggy for the rest of out lives considering even if the chase was easy in game, it would be absolutely terrifying if it was irl Also the unused image is in chapt 3 files and was used for the beta build of the game for the casette and it shown up in the screen Source: Terrabits gaming

don't you see it? its a body of huggy wuggy he has really long arms(from mommy long legs) and black eyes with enternal smile(from cat nap)

Could you talk about Kissy Missy s picture of a little girl? Same picture as here at 2:46 ,have any idea of who might that be?

I heard that, in-universe, being chased by Huggy scared the Player far more than any other toy he faced afterwards. Which is why Nightmare Huggy showed up in the first nightmare CatNap gave the Player.

2:26 my theory suggest it was the prototype, the body had missing bones well, we can human bones in the prototype hand, also there was no clues in the crime scene, we all know how the prototype is smart.

In my opinion it was Huggie also because he was the only one that all the times he tried to get us it was direct and a chase was always there, unlike mommy making us play games or catnap stalking us

Epic

😮Yeah.....you are right thank you 😊

For me, there’s some good writing and development in Poppy. Granted, video games are not Oscar worthy for their screenplays. I am rather entertained and engaged with this series.

recently I noticed that the way nightmare huggy chases you is almost exactly the same as the way normal huggy chases you through the vents

I like your video😀

My working theory is that we were an employee who specifically worked as a counselor at Playcare. We knew about the experiments, but did nothing about them. While we were a counselor, we got especially close to one kid who we decided to adopt. But, they got turned into Huggy Wuggy, and we just left them. So, the kid inside Huggy remembers us. And remembers how we abandoned them. And we now live with the guilt of abandoning this kid. Plus, the kid wants revenge. So, maybe that's why Huggy specifically appears in our hallucination.

I think we are playing as the main conductor of the experiments. Thats why miss delight said how are you alive?. Because the hour of joy was to take revenge, and since he was the main experimenter she was unsure how he couldve lived. I think with huggy hes constantly haunted as huggy was one of either his favourite attempts and what lead him to continue so like hes haunted by his success of huggy

I concur with the first theory. It is indeed reasonable to presume that the protagonist would experience fear towards Huggy Wuggy, considering it marked our initial encounter with a genuinely terrifying and lifelike entity. The pursuit through the vents stands out as undeniably one of the most harrowing moments in Poppy Playtime. It elicited fear in all participants, hence it follows logically that the protagonist would share in this terror. Any alternative reaction would fail to align with basic principles of rationality.

I think why he popped out was because we had this nightmarish hallucination before Poppy saying we killed him, because in chapter 1, he fell into the depths of the factory, and in chapter 2 there are some traces of blue fur suggesting he was alive. Because of this, we the ex-employee did not know whether he would come back to get us or not. We did not know if he actually died until Poppy said he was dead.

My theory is that huggy Wuggy was actually our experiment that we worked on so that’s why we see him in the tape

I think that Nightmare Huggy Wuggy represents the punishment, misanthropic mistakes and guilt, that the Protagonist can't escape

So my theory is that huggy Wuggy was one of the the orphans and you (the player) had a great relationship with him (let’s call the orphan mark). When mark was brought to the lab, you had to do the experiment on him. You quit and forgot about it a day after and that was the day before the hour of joy. Now what if mark remembers you and now hates you so that’s why you have guilt. It’s not your guilt , but marks guilt

Maybe the Person that worked there could be a Man named Rich that has been mentioned one Tape from each Chapter and has seen tons of Huggies in the Process.

There is a radio in that section playing backward audio intimating that you just didn't show up on the day the hour of joy occurred. Doesn't say why. Maybe you were sick, maybe you had inside info. I guess that gets revealed later I hope.

it was a nightmare 100% because we can be seen waking up when the red smoke actually clears after nightmare huggy gets us

If Huggy climbs out of the TV like that, then that might indicate that The Ring is in fact canon in Poppy Playtime and The Player watched it.

Maybe the player was somehow absent when the hour of joy happened and then just lost da job cuz it literally shut down,cuz now I think of it,it’s kinda hilarious

An answer to 1:33, the reason the protagonist wasn’t there on the hour of joy(8-8-1995) was simply due to absence, this is proven by a radio in home sweet home, in order to actually understand the radio you have to put the audio in reverse.

This chapter was mainly about guilt the guilt of the player and clearly when going into home sweet home we walk through the red smoke immediately and then going through that mazes of hallways the radio as it was saying that can lead us to believe that the player had possibly something to do with that incident specifically which why it was played catnap uses his red smoke to torture us back in that guilt even more making us remember and I believe he knew that it would that’s why he doesn’t attack at all just watches us and the fact the maze is also just a loop and that tape was the concious and the dialogue how coming back 10 years later after the events of The Hour of Joy and huggy being there because which I believe you hit the nail on the head was he was another metaphor for guilt as he was the first toy we encountered in game and possibly how the player wanted to die or should’ve there and then as the term welcome home is we should’ve died there like everyone else

I have a personal theory of my own for this actually- I feel like the player no matter where they worked in the factory,whether it be head of production and having a second office in home sweet home or worked in production and the office was in home sweet home,they were involved with the children, and they were the only employee other than the PlayCare and the counselors and the scientists that could talk and interact with the children one of the children but that would never happen because they had to turn that child into huggy,therefore leaving more trauma to the player and the child. Maybe that’s why he appears in our hallucination. But that’s just my theory- it could end up being one of the theories in the video lol

i dont think, huggy appeared as a scar on the characters mentality, because i feel like mommy long legs, and her phsycotic nature , would have done that. And although yes, she died. She died one of the most brutal deaths. Infact, the most brutal death, caused by the player killing them. Which means catnap wont count. Also because we had a run through the swerwes, which means that in real life, we would have been slowed down due to the water, and we can hear and feel the splashes of mommy long legs stomping on the water. I do agree that it may have been due to guilt, and also due to the franchise wanting another huggy appearance and the devs delivering

My personal theory is the game creators wanted to make sure to include Huggy Wuggy again, but this is good too!

My theory is we just have PhD from killing Huggy Woogie

the fact that i think we will have the blue hand till the end XD

I feel like the second theory is the most accurate one because one of the office in the hallucination and it says GUILT HAUNTS YOU which makes me also think that catnap is also making our worst fears into the hallucination and also making huggy wuggy in the television makes more sense to put him in to the tv and then i also think that ollie talking on the red phone its literally fake and thats why i like the second theory and the first and third were not that accurate and thanks for 0 likes and 0 comments😂

I think it can also be bc unlike mommy Long legs, we aren't sure if Huggy is dead or not, up to this point CatNap hasn't been a threat to us, and we haven't known Miss Delight either, so It makes sense to think that the only nightmare is Huggy, since the bigger bodies we've seen in Chapter 2 aren't threats to us anymore

My guess is The Protagonist got PTSD from Huggy Wuggy. Also Huggy Wuggy crawling in the halls is a reference to the original Huggy Wuggy crawling in the vents back in Chapter 1.

Since I think we are the head of security, it is our fault that Huggy was able to escape once and kill so many of our colleagues.

I hope huggy is Alize you can’t tell me otherwise until I see him apart of the prototype

My theory is that maybe the protagonist was one of the people that experimented on the person that is trapped or controls huggy wuggy. So huggy wuggy might have wanted revenge on the player in chapter 1 but it caused him his death, but nobody actually knows that huggy wuggy is dead because the developers never said so I think. So maybe like he said he might have got a scar from when he encountered huggy for maybe the second time. So he had a hallucination about him when he inhaled the red smoke because he still had that scar inside of him so thats why he was the one coming out the tv. But I have another theory that maybe JUST MAYBE. That the player might have been the one that put the soul inside of huggy. So yeah it could be any reason but I guess just like in every other chapter were going to have to think about it ALOT. And just for matpat. ITS A GAME THEORY

bro wait he CHASES you???? i hid in the corner beside the TV thinking catnap would come through the door we entered through so i got jumpscared immediately i missed the entire chase 💀

i think its because the interaction with huggy wuggy was the least humane, it never seems sad, unsatisfied or angry, it doesnt talk to us or express any intelligence, its just trying to eat us. considering it was out first interaction with a living toy, and that interaction was so detached from anything real and completely lacking of communication it definitely leaves a huge trauma. But in terms of full speculation i think our protagonist had something to do with the Hour of Joy, and knew to not come to the factory that day

I think that it as huggy wuggy because the player might have been the guy who experimented on him and that might explain why huggy was walking faster then the other time we met him and the player/ex employee felt so much guilt and he must have realized that his company is wrong so he left years later after he came back.Also the player never saved or brought anyone with him that might be why the ex employee/the player feels guilt

The reason why kissy missy didn’t attack us is because they realised that we were traumatised due to the stuff we did to hubby and thus we treated then decently. The reason why hubby was attacking us was because he remembered us and he was also starving. The reason why mommy attacked us is because of two reasons themselves: 1: she was hellbent on revenge. 2: she wanted to avenge the children that were sent down the tracks to playcare because most of them either got turned into monsters (like kissy) or died.

The hour of joy happened during project playtime when the prototype said that the toys should rise up and fight back on the employees

My one of the theories is that player has seen the mommy's death live but huggy just slipped and may have survived and his haunts the player along with having PTSD of first encounter of huggy.

This distorted apparition, known as Nightmare Huggy Wuggy, defies the boundaries of reality and plunges players into a nightmarish chase. As the digital world blurs with the tangible, we find ourselves ensnared in a web of illusion and dread.

Do you remember Poppy said in Chapter 2 "we are in torture"? My theory is the hallucination plus "Guilt haunts us" explains the player has killed Huggy and Mommy long legs adds more guilt not only not showing up when the Hour of Joy happened.

Our character must have had the biggest heart attack when kissy attacked us lol.

In my head, the first theory could’ve been right, but I think that the player participated in creating Huggy , then left, and years later, when he came back and got chased by Huggy Wuggy, he got traumatized by the thought that Huggy remembered him and chased him to make him understand the pain for being transferred in another body and get revenge.Then the player started feeling guilt for participating in the crazy project and hurting a child.

3 reasons: one because he’s the first monster in chapter 1. Actually, he’s the only monster we see in chapter 1 so yeah.2: because everyone wanted huggy Wuggy back in chapter 3 3: maybe this is one of the nightmares you get when you inhale catnapped gas like catnap has his gas when the children are sleeping, they have nightmares. This is one of the nightmares you have.

My theory is the player feels guilty about what they did. They most likely worked/tested on the toys before they left, probably leaving out of guilt, which is why the toys (mommy long legs and the teacher come to mind) seem to recognize us and hold a deep hatred for us after what we done.

I think the guilt theory also implies we feel guilt (or at least huggy or catnap wants us to) for huggys death

I believe that we as an employee had left AFTER not before the hour of joy. I think this because one of the messages that play in the hallucination, when played in reverse, it says things about how we were not present on the day the hour of joy occurred and is supposed to make us feel guilty

Guys did you notice that we're not sure about huggy wuggy's death? I Mean we saw mommy long legs being chopped and after that the prototype took her body , and the same with catnap when the prototype killed him and took his body too , but we never saw the prototype taking huggy wuggy's body , he just fell when we pulled the box , and you know these toys are Abnormal so he could be alive , I don't know If It's linked with huggy wuggy coming of the TV or not , It's only something that came into my mind , what do you think?

Given he uses a very if not the same animation from the vent chase I would assume that subconscious thought is what the player has a nightmare of after they collapse. It’s more tense than Betty spaghetty’s the chase imo.

My theory is that this is the player's personal torment, because he wasn't there during the hour of joy to try and save everyone. Even now, i actually feel bad for him.

My theory is that its easier to make huggy wuggy look creepy than the other two.

I think the reason why Huggy Wuggy popped out was because we never actually saw him die, we only saw him hit is head and fall. The main character is probably afraid that he's still alive somewhere.
