Ollie

The voice on the phone

The first call comes right after the trash compactor. A phone rings behind a locked door, and the voice on it says he does not want the Player to die and sends a battery down a tube. Later he gives his name. He tells the Player that Poppy needs them, that Playcare is the home of CatNap, and that there used to be eight Smiling Critters.

In Playcare he sends keys through a tube in the room under the statue. He explains the Gas Production Zone and puts a name to the Red Smoke. When the power is cut he sends the Player to each building in turn to start its backup generator. He picks the School because CatNap usually leaves it alone, and his call cuts out before he can finish warning them about who else is in there.

He is in the nightmares too. During the first one the Player answers a phone and hears Ollie telling them to run. After the Playhouse he explains the shrine. The Prototype saved CatNap's life before CatNap became CatNap, and now CatNap treats him like a god. After the second nightmare the phone rings again, and this time CatNap speaks through it.

After CatNap dies, Ollie calls to say the Player is one step closer to the Prototype and has chosen to stay and help Poppy. Poppy says Ollie is the reason she and Kissy Missy found the Player in the first place.

Safe Haven

In Chapter 4 he calls at the Shelf station to warn that the prison is worse than Poppy knows. Inside the prison his calls break up into static. Doey says Ollie told him to expect the Player, and said the Player could be trusted. After the Doctor dies he calls on the cable car to say that all that is left is the Prototype.

In the generator room he shouts that the Prototype is outside. Once Doey has left to deal with it, he talks the Player through the repair. Open the access panel with the Omni-Hand, flip the breaker, attach an external resistor, override the chipset, swap the surge protector. Not long after, an explosion hits Safe Haven.

There was an Ollie

In Shelf Ventilation Block B6 he names the room Poppy is hiding in. Then his voice becomes the Prototype's. Every call had been the Prototype, speaking as Oliver, the boy he was before. Poppy asks if there was ever an Ollie. He says there was, a very long time ago.

A tape called 'Ollie' has the two of them talking before the Hour of Joy. He asks if the bad men hurt her, and he tells her she is not nothing to him. His closing line on that tape is the one the Prototype repeats, in Ollie's voice, during the reveal.
