Doey the Doughman

Appearance

Doey is a large figure of soft coloured dough. His head and body are light blue, one arm is orange, the other is yellow, and his short legs are red. He wears a dark blue bowler hat.

He can stretch and reshape his body. In Chapter 4 he squeezes through bars and cracks, lowers an arm from the ceiling and makes himself into bridges for the Player. In his enraged form his mouth opens wide, and three small humanoid figures with red eyes push out of it.

Three boys

One was Jack Ayers. The tape that opens Chapter 4 shows him getting a Doey toy and an invitation to tour the factory on Christmas Day 1992. On the tour, on January 22, 1993, he falls into a dough vat. A note called 'A Cryptic Letter' tells his parents that their son can live, and asks them to come back to the factory in six weeks. The tape '1322 Report: Jack' is that visit. The parents are let into the room with Doey. He does not know them. He shouts that the gentle voices lie, kills them both, and is then heard crying.

Another was Kevin Barnes, an aggressive orphan who scored well in the Game Station tests. The scientist on '1322 Report: Kevin' warns that one unstable mind could turn nine hundred pounds of dough against people it trusts. Dr. Sawyer chose Kevin anyway.

The third was Matthew Hallard. 'Subject 1322C Report' describes him as a kind fifteen year old who looked after the younger children in Playcare and blamed himself for the loss of his family.

Safe Haven

On the tape 'A Reminder' Doey says Poppy has vanished, and that he could reach the exit himself. He decides to go back to the other toys, because they need him.

He starts helping the Player before they ever see him. In the Containment Zone he unlocks a door, lights a match to draw Yarnaby away and shuts a door on Yarnaby during the chase. When the Player falls into Pianosaurus' Enclosure he grabs Pianosaurus with stretched arms, smashes him against the walls and eats him. Then he introduces himself and leads the way toward Safe Haven.

In the generator room he tells the Player who they are up against. The Doctor is Dr. Harley Sawyer, and he controls the prison with an Omni-Hand. Doey wants the Player to take it so the Safe Haven generator can be repaired. He also says he does not want Poppy's plan to cost the lives of the toys he protects. When Poppy walks into Safe Haven he tells her to her face that she disappeared and left them.

Outside No Man's Land a burst pipe freezes him with liquid nitrogen, and the Player has to redirect the gas to free him. The Doctor set cold traps, he says, because cold hurts him.

When Ollie's voice warns that the Prototype is outside Safe Haven, Poppy sends Doey to lead him away. He comes back saying he lost the Prototype in the tunnels. Then the explosion hits.

Death

Doey finds every toy in Safe Haven dead. He blames himself, then the Player and Poppy. The generator was jumpstarted, he says. He tries to kill the Player, rubble falls on him, and he comes out of it in his enraged form.

He chases the Player through the Construction Tunnels to the Mining Pit. The Player freezes him with liquid nitrogen canisters and cuts him with industrial saws, three times. He attacks once more at the exit. The Player freezes him again and pulls a large machine down onto him. He says he is sorry as he dies.

Afterward Poppy blames the Player for his death.
