Playtime Co. Security Log, 0125. Entry to front lobby breached by unknown intruder.

"A tale like this always starts simple. A mystery about a toy factory, whose staff all vanished a decade prior. Well, that was most were led to believe. It was dusk, with a bad storm brewing in the night air, when in comes along a long await visitor. And with it came the long welcome announcement…"

"At last. Welcome. Welcome. At long last. Your home. Welcome. We have waited. For so long. she is here. It's time to rejoice. Welcome. We've missed you. Welcome home, Lily. You will never leave this place again."

"Unfortunately for our dear guest, she was unable to hear the long await announcement as she enter the factory. It's main lobby provided a warm welcome for all. But these days, it is an old forgotten thing. It didn't take our lone guest long before the first voice of the factory rose over the silence.

"-got my warning, it's not too late to turn around. I just hope that you're certain whatever you're doing is worth it."

"She ignored the warning, of course. It would seem even after all these years, her tendency to break the rules has never change. Going so far as to stealing a Playtime Co. GrabPack, once used by staff and invented by the elusive company founder, Elliot Ludwig. The next creation our…guest encountered wan none other than playtime mascot Huggy Wuggy. He loomed over the foyer with a wide vacant smile."

"Unbeknownst to our guest of the history the two have shared. The guest has looked around trying to find a way to continue on, despite that weaker people would have left at that point. And she had tried, once she saw the mascot had moved from their spot."

"He's gone…"

"Nope. No way in hell am I dealing with this! Screw this quest, I should have given up when I first saw the metal gate. Hell. I should have turned around when I broke the power to get to the other room. And definitely screw looking for my past memories, it's not worth dealing with whatever is going on in this damn place."

"And to our guest disappointment the door she first open had closed on her. Locking her in the foyer with no other choice but to progressed down, kicking up pieces of the distant past in her descent."

"…it's a pretty great feeling too!"

"And this is where the fun began. Our guest has stirred one of the factory security measures, and he performed exactly as he was designed. Though it does beg the question, if he had known who our guest was in the beginning…would he have made the same move, or try to make her leave? A question for another time."

"Our guest, frighten at the sight, scrambled through ventilation ducts with Huggy not far behind."

"Go away go away go awwaaayy!"

"The ventilation in this place has always been a maze. It's impressive our guest made it through at all. But I shouldn't be surprised with the amount of times she has played in there. It would be natural to her to navigate around despite not remembering. Eventually, she made her way into an open warehouse, narrowly avoiding a collapsing catwalk, that set our dear Huggy plummeting into the depths below."

"Or that would have been the case, had our guest not intervene at the last moment. It would have seem that in that time, she had remembered something. What it is, who can say. However, it was enough to know the bound the two have had and she had pleaded to Huggy Wuggy to remember her."

"Huggy it's me, Lily, remember! I know it's been some years and I've grown, but it's me! Remember that time you tried to save me from that man."

"And to her hope, it work. It had broken through the already weak restraints on Huggy Wuggy memories. And to that, they had the long await reunion after nearly eleven years had passed. They lingered on the catwalks for quite some time…"

"-we must forge onwards in the name of science *crash* whether those who are beneath us understand it or not… End of-"

"Eventually, they moved on into a room the public was never meant to see. It wasn't a factory floor or corporate office; this place was different. And yet…not even a hint of the missing staff. At the end of a long hall, there was a room. And inside that room, there was a glass case. Inside that glass case…a doll. Poppy…"

"You opened my case."

"And we shall see what comes of it…With Poppy out of her case, she began to guide our guest through the office of, Elliot Ludwig."

"How did he manage to stay determined ever after suffering such a tragic loss. It all began…"

"When Poppy gave them an out, there was little protest."

"With that out of the way let's get going. There's a train station nearby. It needs a code, and I have it. We're gonna get out of here as soon as you get on up here."

"Were it so easy…"

"Well, I believe that's enough talking for now. It's time to head to the Game Station and get out of here…AAAHHH!"

"POPPY!?"

"After the shocking event of witnessing Poppy being taken, Huggy Wuggy offered to follow down to make sure it was safe, before our guest joined them. She followed closely behind, descending into another section of the facility. The Game Station. It was here our guest met another of Playtime's creations."

"Oohh~, I can't believe my eyes! It seems the Prototype was right after all!"

"Mommy Long-Legs. In some ways, The Game Station had been hers. And so, upon finding out our dear guest was trying to leave after all this time, she saw fit to make a game out of it. Play the games win a piece of the code to the train."

"Obey the rules or I will kill all of your friends and tear your limbs apart one by one and take you to the Prototype myself."

"Unbeknown to Mommy Long-Legs, she has signed her death upon making that threat. The Prototype does not take to kindly to those who wish to harm our dear guest. Nonetheless, our guest in her friend moved along, unaware of what awaits them. First stop was Musical Memory. A cognitive test, simple but a useful metric for us."

"Unfortunately, the game seem to have a small malfunction after not being in use for over ten years. Forcing our guest to panic at the thought of losing the game. And to one's surprise the mascot for this room, Bunzo Bunny, had stepped in to help out."

"…Lily…D-Don't…give…up! L-L-Look."

"Thanks to Bunzo Bunny help, our guest was able to shut down the game and received the first part of the train code. And with it another reunion between the two, now making officially a group of three to continue on in the factory. However, right before they leave the walkway they were on collapsed, sending our guest down to the bottom…hurting herself."

"AAAAHHHH!"

"Bunzo Bunny had quickly instructed our guest on where to go so they could meet up once again. And once did, Huggy Wuggy, surprisingly having some knowledge of tending wounds, help patch up our guest to the best he could. Once reassured that our dear guest is okay, they moved on to the next game; Whack-A-Wuggy. Primarily concerned with reaction times, how those small one always scurry and swarm."

"However, before they could even enter the room, the gate suddenly closed on them. Leaving our dear guest…friends on the outside. It would be revealed that Mommy Long-Legs had shut the door, with the excuse of not wanting our guest friends to get in the way. When in truth Mommy Long-Legs knows that Huggy Wuggy would have turned the small one on her. For you see, while Mommy Long-Legs controls this floor. Huggy Wuggy on the other hand, controls the small ones. One word from him would be all it would take for the small ones to attack Mommy Long-Legs."

"And since that didn't happen, the game proceeded as plan with Mommy Long-Legs asking questions to our dear guest."

"Lily, will you indulged Mommy with some questions?"

"Huh, wha?"

"Whether it was meant to distract our dear guest or not is unknown, however, during the questions an interesting guest made their appearance."

"August 8th, 1995."

"!"

"Oh my~ Guess who finally decided to announce themselves."

"The Prototype. It would have appeared they have been monitoring everything that has been going on and step in. Wanting to ask some questions themselves. And with that the game quickly came to an end with all of the small ones joining our guest. The guest made their way to the third and final game but not before running into a familiar silhouette."

"Wait you're…"

"Lily…back! I'm…happy, happy! I'm glad…sister back…sister will help us…and play again…"

"Leslie…"

"Leslie Withers, an orphan of the Playtime and appears to be alive and well. Well…almost well. How they manage to survive this long is a mystery. Nonetheless, with Leslie another toy appeared, Kissy Missy. This experiment had a calmer more cautious demeanor, and with Leslie and the small one prompting her, she helped our guest pass through the halls. Leaving behind a messenger bag, Leslie was wearing."

"At the last game, over a dozen legs and a long winding body slinked behind our guest. Our guest skillfully made her way through the course with hardly any problems…that was until they reached the end."

"No…This can't be…"

"At the end of the room, what was supposed to be an exist is now nothing but rumble of rocks blocking the door. It was only thanks to the small ones that our guest was able to escape from the room. But not without Mommy Long-Legs noticing."

"Where did you go? The game is over, you won~! Mommy will give you the code. Pinky promise!"

"The group made their way through the tunnels of the factory wanting to get far away from Mommy Long-Legs as possible. It wasn't until they've entered the Water Treatment Room…and there our guest finds a letter. A letter that would decided the fate of Mommy Long-Legs, one that is back up when The Prototype finally decides to show themselves to our dear guest."

"The time is approaching, Little Flower."

"When given the ultimatum choice, our guest has little to no choice in trying to find a way to save Mommy Long-Legs from her fate. However, when they came face to face with Mommy Long-Legs, though there is nothing left but anger. And trying her best, our guest could only do so much in calming down Mommy Long-Legs, only for it to fail in the end, and cost lives of one of the small ones."

"…ZAAA!"

"ZAP! NO!"

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"

"Give her back to me! Give her back! You can't take her! YOU DAMN BASTARD!"

"What's left of her…is his now. And inside a control room, far above The Game Station, our guest were reunited with Poppy. With that the two made their way back to the other to discuss their next plans before boarding the train."

"Guess we'll start boarding then."

"She entered the completed code, and the old engine began to stir. The path leading out seemed clear and yet…some unforeseen happened."

"I know I agree to let you go and rest, but I cannot let you leave yet. I'm sorry, but you have proven how cable you are."

"It has long been the custom of those who call this factory home, to use others for personal gain. To stab them in the back. I'm certain it came to Poppy naturally."
