CatNap didn't have much screentime, but when he was onscreen, he was absolutely terrifying! That colorless form was pure nightmare fuel!

I think the fact that Catnap gives you a chance to leave even though he found you a second time is significant. Remember the first time he tried to kill you he did it in such a way that he wouldn't watch it, then only after he warns you and you persist on getting closer to his god does he actually become dangerous.

I think he recognizes you as one of the people that didn't hurt anyone. As someone that was about as innocent as an adult in this situation could get. Not as innocent as the child victims, or the other abused toys, but still not someone to just slaughter on sight.

Food for thought.

Is it just me or is the "hour of joy" the scariest part? Just imagine hiding for hours, crawling into vents while hearing the death of friends. The fact that most of the employees did not know anything and were seeing childhood mascots run at them. Employees and others saw heads teared off, bodies tossed, and chasing others. Plus whatever they did, they'll die no matter what. And the monsters did this because the higher ups treated them like sh!t.

Hearing Elliot Ludwig's speech about smiles in the cable car is so much more chilling now that I know the lore about the bigger bodies initiative. "There is nothing more gratifying to my soul than being the reason for a child's smile...these children deserve to smile...dedicated in every inch and detail to ensuring a child's smile...may playcare bring smiles to all who enter these doors, for what gives life its meaning, if not a smile?" Then I realized basically all the bigger body toys have permanent smiles on their faces.

DogDay probably had the worst fate, since he didn't mean harm, but the smaller critters used him as a vessel to attack the player

[queenie]

The way they did Catnap’s death was really good. It’s not really noticeable at first but I just realised that in Catnap’s death scene, he’s terrified and afraid because he was once again dying in the same way he was as a child. And the last time it happened he trusted the prototype with his life which saved him but in return made him be selected to become Catnap and go through some grim awful shit. Now once again the same thing had happened and for Catnap it was like a spitting image of that traumatic haunting event- essentially an major post traumatic flashback and once again the prototype wanted him to give his full trust to it. That’s harsh man.

14:58 This detail is just amazing. Kissy visibly reacts when Huggys death is mentioned. She flinches and glances at Poppy and also brings her knee up. This is probably hinting that Huggy and Kissy have a much deeper story together. I can’t explain how much i love subtle details like this. It shows so much of Kissys personality in just a couple of seconds. It’s absolutely awesome.

[Roze_aye]

13:27 Also I really love how they handled that kissy scene. When she attacks, she is cloaked in "Moonlight" making her appear blue like huggy. But once poppy stops her and she shines her flashlight on em, we can see that the figure is pink, making them Kissy.

Ollie is so not what he seems.
Even if he is WHO he says he is, a friend, he is not WHAT he is assumed to be, a boy/child.
You're telling me that Ollie survived in an underground bunker without food or water for over a decade, AND remained a Child with the same trill prepubescent voice?
No, he's a Toy, or something else.

Catnap locking up the teachers to keep them from the students is interesting.
He was still wanting to protect the children from harm. The fact Ms. Delight admitted she would kill the kids is telling of the Hour of Joy.

[xuzxmoj]

a terrible detail with dogday is that a belt is tied around their waste right above where they were severed, meaning that no blood could escape so dogday could still barely cling to life. sickening.

[plumwings]

Ok but can we talk about how GOOD the voice acting in this game is? Like holy crap the first 2 chapters had great voices, but this takes it to a NEXT LEVEL. Poppy and DogDay are the standouts for me, cause you feel their full on raw emotions. For DogDay, it’s pretty much his whole talk with you in the Playhouse, and for Poppy, it’s her frankly gut wrenching account of the Hour of Joy, and the absolute despair you can hear in her voice when she realizes Kissy’s in danger at the end, and how she reacts very realistically, at first thinking she’s just doing something weird, and then she hears the scream, and KNOWS something’s up. I like that more realistic approach rather than just saying she’s in danger just because of a small thump. The little details man, can’t get enough.
TL;DR: The voice acting in this game is absolutely incredible, and Poppy’s VA is the GOAT.

It's interesting how, in the lore, Theo became catnap because he was badly damaged by electricity, and in the game, we defeated him by again electrifying him.

[nylathemysticalcat]

The female woman who talked about Maria needs more recognition, she really put her all into the role of a woman who cares deeply for her daughter and scared out of her mind when that incident happened

[helbeglin]

I find it interesting that Ollie considers Catnap as the last of the Smiling Critters, while DogDay considers himself the last. I believe this is in regards to the CatNap recall, and his removal from the group.
Ollie may have been present when CatNap was introduced, but not notified of the recall. He may also believe all the Smiling Critters are dead because they were all taken to that hidden prison, with who-knows-what happening to them. It was best to assume they were dead.
On the other hand, DogDay would have that information, being a part of the Smiling Critters.
One thinks CatNap is the last, while DogDay *knows* he is the last.

Ollie is MatPat’s son!
Also, there’s a message in Home Sweet Home,
“A clap and a half to you, we’ll miss you!”
A clap and a half is a GTLive catchphrase!
And the “we’ll miss you” is just so sweet 😊

[Starrial]

Catnap “lost” the final boss fight after being electrocuted by our green GrabPack hand.

Theodore Grambell’s position as Catnap began after the incident in which he electrocuted himself with the green GrabPack hand.

*Ah, irony.*

[patrickmarzo]

First time I heard Ollie speak I was thinking in my mind, “Yo, Gregory when did you switch games? Could’ve just quit fnaf instead of tricking Cassy to switch games.”

[SnowHeronYt]

12:29 this scene is heartbreaking. Imagine waking up, your friend not there, and you ask an adult, as they lie right to your face… and your friend never ever returns back to you.

[booled]

The Hour of Joy is one of the most horrifying and tragic events in any video game ever. Seriously so disturbing.
