Chapter 1: A Tight Squeeze
Eric is an ex-employee of Playtime Co., Alex is his daughter. They finally return to the factory many years after everybody within disappeared.
Eric and Alex waited until it was night, then they got into a car and drove to the toy factory. After walking through the front door, Alex says: "Wow. This place has seen better days." "Yes, it has. Ok, stay here. I'll be right back," says Eric. He then walked over to a door with a panel of different coloured buttons. "If I remember correctly, the code is green, pink, yellow and red."
After pressing the buttons, the door opened and Eric says: "First try." He walked in the room and saw a weird device in a box. It looked like a backpack with a toy hand that you can shoot things with. "Ah, the Grab Pack. I've always wanted to use one of these." He then opened the box and put on the Grab Pack. "It's missing the right hand. Maybe I can find it in here somewhere."
Eric walked out of the room and up to Alex. "What are you wearing?" says Alex. "It's a Grab Pack. All the other workers used these around the factory. Let me show you how it works." They walked up to a doorway that was blocked by a metal shutter. Above the doorway, there was a blue handprint. "Some doors around the factory can only be opened with the Grab Pack. So you aim the left hand at the panel and fire."
Eric pulled the trigger, the blue hand launched off and stuck to the panel. After a few seconds, the hand returned to the Grab Pack and the shutter slowly opened. "Wow, that's cool," says Alex. "I know, right?" says Eric. When the shutter fully opened, Eric and Alex froze as they saw a giant blue toy statue staring at them.
"It's Huggy Wuggy," says Eric. "Why is he so creepy?" says Alex. They both walked into the room, he fired the hand at another panel but the power turned off. "Shit." Eric walked up to the power room, but the door was locked. "We need to find a key. Have a look around." Alex nods before walking around the room. She then looked up at Huggy Wuggy and saw a key in his hand.
"Hey dad? I think I found the key." Eric looked up at Huggy Wuggy, he then fired the blue hand and grabbed the key. "Thanks? I guess?" He unlocked the door and they both walked into the power room. Eric used the hand to grab a power outlet, then he used the wire to connect two poles together and the power turned back on.
"Nicely done dad," says Alex. "Thank you. Now then, let's get going," says Eric. They both walked out of the power room and their eyes widened. Somehow, Huggy Wuggy had disappeared. "Where the hell did he go?" "I don't want to stay here and find out. Can we go?" Eric nodded before firing the blue hand at the panel.
The shutter opened, Eric and Alex walked down a hallway and into a storage room. "Hey look, isn't that a part of the Grab Pack?" says Alex. Eric looked across and saw a red hand in a box on a high shelf. "It is. Good spotting Alex. But how do we get it down?" He then spotted a crane, however the controls were missing some batteries.
"It looks like this is how we're getting the red hand. But first we need to find some batteries." Eric and Alex walked around the storage room looking for the batteries for the controls. After finding them, Eric turned on the crane, it then picked up the hand before dropping it onto the floor. Eric attached the red hand to the Grab Pack and used both hands to open a conveyor belt.
"That's a bingo," says Eric. They walked on the conveyor belt, through some air vents, before entering a room with a big machine. "The Make a Friend machine. I wonder if it still works." "Dad? There's no way out of here," says Alex. Eric walked over to her and saw a sign that says: "Nobody leaves without a toy!" He then looked up before saying: "Give me a minute."
Eric walked up some stairs, walked across some catwalks and then turned on the power. He walked back down the stairs and turned on the machine. The Make a Friend machine took some parts, they went inside and a few minutes later, a Cat Bee toy came out. Eric picked up the toy and placed it on a scanner. The toy got scanned and the shutter slowly opened.
"Well then, shall we?" says Eric. Alex nods before walking through the doorway. Suddenly, Huggy Wuggy appears from the shadows and walked towards Alex. "Holy shit! Alex run!" Both Eric and Alex ran into a air vent. They thought they got away, but Huggy Wuggy appeared in front of them and ran towards them.
"Seriously?!" says Alex. "Go! I'm right behind you!" says Eric. Eric and Alex ran through the air vents, whilst trying not to get killed by Huggy Wuggy. Eventually, they ran onto a conveyor belt and Alex says: "We're trapped! I don't want to die dad!" Eric looked around before spotting a wooden crate up above them.
He used both hands to pull the crate down onto the conveyor belt. Huggy Wuggy ran onto the conveyor belt and it broke. Eric and Alex landed on a catwalk, but Huggy Wuggy landed on the railing. He then slipped off and fell down into a bottomless pit. "Are you ok?" says Eric. Alex nods and says: "Yeah. But that guy can go hug himself."
After a few seconds of thinking, Eric says: "Oh, I get it. That's a good one." Eric and Alex laughed before spotting a painting of a poppy with a door in the centre. "Wait a second, that's it. That's what we're supposed to find." "Great. So does that mean we get to go home soon?" says Alex. Eric nods before walking towards the door.
He then finds a VHS tape, he places it in a tape player and a voice says: "Final log. In relation: Experiment 1006. "The Prototype." Coordination and cooperation is evidently within his skillset, as well as the skillset of all other experiments of his type. Though still missing, today's events are no doubt in relation to him. His absence was a flaw in the scientific process, which should have under no circumstances been left unaccounted for. That's why I'm making this log: so that the same mistake won't be made twice. Any future experiments will need to be contained and disposed of in a secure location. I'm not worried about myself. One breakthrough and I'll be back. We must forge onwards in the name of science, whether those who are beneath us understand it or not! End of..."
"It sounds like he died whilst making that tape," says Alex. "Yeah, but who or what killed him? And what is The Prototype?" says Eric. They both walked through the door and into a hallway. At the end is a door, Eric opens it and sees a doll with red hair and a blue dress in a glass case. "It's Poppy. Why is she here?" says Alex. "Let's find out, shall we?" says Eric.
He then grabs the handle and opens the case. Suddenly, Poppy's eyes opened and the lights in the room turned off. Eric and Alex held onto each other, before hearing a voice saying: "You opened my case."
