Game Theory: There's No Place Like HOME (Welcome Home)

*NEW Merch is Here!*

Friends, today we're diving into the world of Welcome Home! This art collection has been making the rounds recently for how well put together and impressive it is! However, what got me interested is the LORE! This website dedicated to a lost puppet show that supposably aired on TV is hiding SO much more than it seems. So settle in neighbor, and welcome HOME.

I love the conversation where Walley says frowning isn't easy for him like it is for Frank. Completely recontextualizes his creepy smiling pictures.

[Ignore__Me]

My favorite Mr. Rogers fact is that he used to narrate himself feeding the fish each episode because a young blind girl sent him a letter as she was worried the fish were hungry. I’m sure there’s others, but that’s what comes to my mind when I hear Mr. Rogers.

[שרהביטחוןשלאוריורד]

Fun fact:
In the characters' bio, they all referred in past tense except Wally and Home, which are referred in present tense.

[courtneyoreilly]

MatPat. There's more lore. The website is back up and there's more AUDIO The drawings from Wally and the bugs that are scattered all over the place hold those secrets. Also there's new photos of remnants from the show

[wompwomp]

I really think Wally is less of a villain and more of a victim, almost like home is forcing him to send letters out. I think he’s trying to help the viewers to solve the mystery and save his neighbors. (“I can’t reach them” on the mailbox page and “can you see me? Then stay quiet.”)

[MLFLimeyO]

12:30, I’ve always believed that the crosses on him signify a “cross-brace”, which is the wooden device used to control string puppets. Also, it seems like he already knows that he’s a puppet due to him responding that he was a puppet and not a doll.

[smileyfaceinc.]

Massive props to the theorist team regarding that we be respectful to Clown’s personal life.

[ashdewaine]

Mat! In case you haven't heard, there's been a huge update to the website with so much cool lore and hidden stuff, It's taken me all day to find it all and I still think I'm missing some things.

[TimeBucks]

It is really touching to see matpat cares so much about the ARG

[rue]

I love to think Wally isn’t entirely aware of what he’s doing, he’s too silly to be evil i refuse to believe it

[Luca_]

"put your own mental health first"
Says Matpat, with his countless FNAF theory videos

[klown_rt]

I’ve been seeing Wally everywhere so I finally decided to go to the website and look around at some of the lore around it and now I’m obsessed lol

[Tina-kxft]

Another cool detail is that out of all the character bio illustrations, Wally is the only puppet that appears to be looking directly at the player (all other puppets are shown looking off to the side or interacting with elements in their environments)

[GAL-CAKE]

As someone that followed Clown since 2019, ITS ABSOLUTELY INSANE AND SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO SEE THIS PROJECT BLOW UP SO RANDOMLY?? I still remember when Wally was usually seen with blue eyelids and Poppy had pink feathers. It feels so surreal having Welcome home seen everywhere, but I cannot be any happier seeing this project finally get the love and attention it deserves!!💗💞💕💗

[GloryInWonderland]

10:10 Just so you know, Wally and Home’s handwriting are the same because Wally had to write his signature for him. … home doesn’t have hands.

He’s a house.

[renniks]

I know this video is a few months old but I wanted to add a comment about the line “As Above, So Below”. It isn’t only an occult phrase, but a phrase used in many other hermetic traditions, especially Kabbalah. The usage in most hermetic traditions is the idea that all living creatures contain a piece of god, because all creatures have a soul. I find it very interesting that a puppet that seemingly alive (maybe having a soul) is connected to Home. Also, the end goal of Kabbalah is to make humanity return to god, to cause all souls to recombine. I don’t personally know all of the ways that information might be useful or relevant, but I find it very interesting

[Mothm]

Im glad that Matpat shows his respect for Clown, I swear every other welcome home video doesn’t mention the stuff Clown had posted about being stressed out and on a hiatus. Thank you Matpat for the respect for such an amazing creator <3

[darthpinto]

I appreciate Matpat being alot more self aware of the impact of his videos

[supersonical]

I'm surprised you didn't mention it but in the character bios Wally is the only one being referred to as "IS" while everyone else are referred to as "WAS"

[CraigGeddes-mire]

I just realised welcome home kind of reminds me of Daniel the tiger in his theme song Who literally welcomes his neighbour as the villains also has a mix of humans and animals like characters
