Chapter 5: Broken Things

The fall

The chapter opens with a commercial for the Wrongside Outimals plush line.

Huggy Wuggy breaks into the room where the Player is trapped and chases them through the Labs. He corners them in an elevator and takes the GrabPack. The elevator falls.

The Player wakes in Recycling & Reclamation with no GrabPack. They find Glowby, a star-shaped light. Outimals attack in the dark.

Giblet and Chum

Giblet drives off an Outimal with his cane. He tells the Player that the toys call them the Playtime Butcher, and he takes them to his hideout.

He sends the Player to The Boilers. They find a full-size Bron and a replacement GrabPack there, then open a locker with the code 0859 to get the Pressure Hand.

In Research & Development the Player meets Chum Chompkins, who lunges at them first. The Player collects notes on the Prototype, the Master Backup and the Negation Compound. When the Prototype visits, Chum hides the Player inside his mouth.

Giblet says a backup of the negation formula is stored in the Data Center.

Experiment 1170

The Player uses a neural mapping machine to play three of Huggy Wuggy's memories as Experiment 1170. The last one gives a door code.

Huggy chases the Player through the conditioning rooms. Projections of Kissy Missy distract him, and the Player reaches Sweet Street.

The Dollhouse

Lily Lovebraids grabs the Player with her hair and takes them to her Dollhouse. She makes them fetch three toy guests and prepare a tea party.

In the basement the Player finds Poppy and Kissy Missy locked in a cell. The key is in a bedroom that holds Gracie Green's skeleton, and the Player frees them with it.

Lily plays a game of red light, green light in the dark and recaptures all three. She ties them to the tea party table.

The tea party

The Prototype arrives as Lily's special guest. He tells Poppy the orphans are in a Better Place. Poppy calls him a monster. He cracks her porcelain head.

He knocks Lily aside. Kissy gets free and attacks him, and he leaves. Kissy carries Poppy out.

Lily chases the Player to the roof. The Player uses the Pressure Hand to drop a hanging platform on her, and Lily dies.

The tram

The Player rejoins Giblet, Poppy and Kissy and heads through Reanimation toward the tram.

Huggy attacks again. Kissy Missy calms him. The Prototype impales them both.

The Prototype chases the Player along the moving tram. The tram crashes. The Player and Giblet get clear, and the Prototype survives. He stabs the Player, leaves them in a vat of Poppy Gel and takes Poppy.

The backup

Giblet revives the Player with his cane and leads them to the Data Center. The Player pulls the override levers and starts the backup.

The backup is a stored copy of Harley Sawyer, the Doctor. His eye appears on a monitor, and he says one line.

How it ends

The backup that was meant to hold the Prototype's weakness is the Doctor. The chapter ends with Poppy held by the Prototype, the fates of Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy not shown, and the Prototype still alive.
