I'd like to talk more about Poppy Playtime... most theorists now seem to believe that we play as the elusive P.W.
A biologist that worked at Playtime co, and was probably hired specifically for the bigger bodies initiative. Thanks to the Poppy Playtime orientation notebook that was released, we get to see exactly what P.W. really thought about the company he was now working for. Sure he knew about all the inhumane acts and unforgivable experiments that were going on in their underground facilities, but given all the other facts and notes this mysterious character etched inside the book, after reading these notes online, I'm also pretty certain that the player is in fact, PW!
I'll say that while Poppy's lore is far more easier to follow then FNAF or Bendy, I would think that Mob games has to give it's indie predecessors credit for breaking the old game boundaries so that their game about a twisted toy factory could shine through.
I once said I would never try to debunk who or what Prototype 1006 truly stands for, who they were, and why they did what they did.
I did not, however say I wouldn't ever try to guess the player's identity. After listening to more theories and rewatching the in game tapes, I'm going to make my most accurate personal prediction, and say that P.W. is probably Dr. White.
It makes absolute sense that Dr. White truly is the player. His first name however, has not been released or confirmed, so I'm gonna guess it's either Peter, or Philip or maybe something like Perry. Those names are of course... just wild guesses.
Dr. White himself was only heard and mentioned once, if you think back to the Playcare school in chapter 3, Miss delight tells some school children on a vhs that Dr. White has chosen a boy named Samuel,
a kid that is most likely going to be surgically operated on and turned into a bigger body.
We can now understand why all of the big, murderous toys we've encountered recognize the player as someone who worked on the top-secret initiatives, I can even see why they would want the player to die. They want to give Dr. White a taste of his own medicine, despite the fact that he didn't exactly enjoy his time within the factory, often calling out sick when he really wasn't. If the player isn't Dr. White, then they most definitely are someone who was involved with the experiments, since during the red smoke nightmare sequence, you find messages such as
"Your guilt haunts you."
I don't really have time to watch every theory connected to the player's origins in this game, so it's kind of likely that someone else has already stated a theory similar to this, but I just thought I'd put this statement out as well. I am certain that the player is PW, and P.W. could very well be Dr. White!
