The Player

The letter

Chapter 1 opens with a package at the Player's home, a tape and a letter. The letter says the employees who were thought to have vanished ten years earlier are still inside the factory, and it tells the Player to find the flower. The staff vanished in 1995, which puts the return in 2005.

Why they went is less clear. Poppy says in Chapter 3 that the Player came back because of their coworkers. In Chapter 4 the Doctor remarks that a letter that vague cannot be the only reason. No further reason has been given.

What the factory makes of them

Nobody in the factory treats the Player as a stranger. Mommy Long Legs says they deserve to die alone because they worked there. Miss Delight recognizes them as a former employee and tells them to leave. DogDay calls them Poppy's angel.

Poppy calls them too perfect to lose and will not let them go. The Doctor says they are what the Prototype fears. By Chapter 5 the toys at the bottom of the factory know them as the Playtime Butcher.

The story so far

In Chapter 1 the Player picks up the GrabPack, restores the power, is chased through the vents by Huggy Wuggy and frees Poppy from her case.

In Chapter 2 Mommy Long Legs forces them through three games, and they kill her in a grinder. Poppy diverts the escape train, and it crashes near Playcare.

In Chapter 3 a voice on the phone called Ollie guides them through Playcare. They restore the power and survive CatNap, and Poppy shows them the tape of the Hour of Joy.

In Chapter 4 they meet Doey in the prison, shut down the Doctor, and kill Doey after Safe Haven is destroyed. Ollie is revealed to be the Prototype.

In Chapter 5 Huggy Wuggy takes the GrabPack and Giblet supplies a new one. The Player kills Lily Lovebraids, is impaled by the Prototype, is revived, and activates the Doctor's backup in the Data Center.
