'WHY DOES NOBODY GO BACK TO THIS DOOR?' Poppy Playtime Questions Answered

This is a very quick video to answer a question I have gotten quite a lot since I uploaded my Poppy Playtime theories.

Be warned, the answer might disappoint you.

Also I have taken this opportunity to ramble and also talk about places you can find me, like Twitch, Patreon Etc.

I think what's interesting is that most people don't even think to go back without actually knowing the path is blocked. I've seen plenty of Poppy Playtime playthroughs and only a small handful of people will go back to check out that door. Granted some of the videos are edited so those may or may not have checked but there are much more streams/videos that are unedited where the person playing is more preoccupied with other things like the creepy atmosphere in the storage room which might be why they push forward instead of going back. I'm just sad that even less people press the button to play Huggy's toy jingle, it's so catchy.

Another thing is that players are usually so focused on solving puzzles that they totally forget about this door lol

[ToxicYT]

I know the gate shuts down on you back there, therefor unable to get into that room. I as well know that if get through that wall with both hands, nothing happens, they both load up all the way but do absolutely nothing. (Thanks to Ertyez, I found out this was possible.)

[LoverOfStuff]

The door could also be a way of passively telling the player “You’re going to gain access to another hand”, because I saw a few lets players getting confused when only finding one.
Edit: I mean they were confused after the tape showed two grabbers and only got one, duh the tape shows two grabbers

Regarding the protagonist "being a black box": The reflection on that shutter is clearly 100% screen space reflections. That's why the hallway reflection goes dark as you approach it, it's no longer in your screen to be reflected.

So the protagonist might indeed have a reflection, but we'll probably either never see it or would in a mirror with traditional reflections. (Or with raytracing, were that to ever happen)

I've commended this game on how it subtly nudges the player in the right direction. Animation, details, environmental story telling, leading the player without them outright getting lost or having to be told which way to go or just having to fumble a bit.

I'm just worried that like Bendy we're putting a lot of pressure on the devs after the first chapter does well and gets the people hyped and the rest is kinda...meh.

It actually is just a movie theater, people have found a version of the map with it.

[WakoDoodle]

Considering the unused levels are that room where the dolls are made and the one with the door that bursts open and a doll at the end; I wouldn't be surprised if they are part of chapter 2. Both the beginning and end in a way; so the theatre front idea is actually pretty sound.

Especially if the unused doll level is actually underneath it, because it would give us more information on how the dolls are made (especially with Poppy now with us); which would explain why we might need to get all the dolls each chapter.

However 1 thing that confuses me is the unused hallway level where huggy chases you. There's nowhere to run in it and you'd think they'd add an escape route if you were to flee. Could it just be for testing? Or maybe it's for huggy's return and you have to face him rather than run?

Sadly I would buy Poppy’s but Christmas shopping has left me pretty broke lol

Also hell yeah 100k! With the consistent quality of your content you MORE than deserve it! Here’s to 100k, now let’s see if we can bust through that 500k ceiling~

[HeisenbergTheFirst]

I actually thought I was the only person who though about going back to the lobby with the red hand but then I was really disappointed when I saw the closed gate.

[j_cannot_type]

I hope everyone is doing well, thanks for the video Tericho

[double_dave]

Send this man a play button, Susan!

Congrats on 100k! You deserve all that and so much more! 👏

[stratkids]

I'm mostly looking forward to seeing Cat Bee get introduced as a character

[DeavinZoe]

I cant manage my fear to play but I love the mystery so your channel and some others are a way for me to experience these games to my limited capacity. Thank you for that.

I personally think that "innovation" is the experiment labs because of the "do not enter the innovation wing" on the poster for the workers

[dizzyandfrizzy]

I agree with Tericho. Like- I doubt the developers would've put this in for no reason. The door with the two hands is definitely important, and will most likely be addressed in a future chapters. People seem to forget that only one chapter is out, not the full game

[vbbrothers]

Me and a friend of mine are planning to play all the dark antholigy games back to back in co op mode when there is more time and his broken leg has healed. Im not looking forward to the cheap ass jumpscares though :c

[useless_netnavi]

Fun Fact : behind that door is actually a hall where huggy wuggy appears in the toy factory.
You just can't see it from the chase scene because of the shadows.
**i used hacks to find this out**

You can also say its where Huggy dissappears to.

[vncepowerlegandgod]

"It closes so you cant go back"
Hacks: am I a joke to you?
