who is doy the do man in chapter 4 we meet doy the defender of the safe haven who at first seems nice to us but throughout the rest of the game he seems to mysteriously change going from rational to angry to sad constantly building up to him finally snapping on us after Safe Haven got destroyed before then leading himself to his own death but then why did all of this happen and who even is he well first starting with doy the do man as a toy doy do was a Play-Doh s toy that originally hit
mark in the late 1950s with doy the do man being the mascot being playtime CO's second major commercial hit after poppy later on being reinvigorated for each new decade leading to him becoming an action figure by 1992 which is when in the intro VHS tape the child Jack received the highly anticipated doughy figure and also unwraps himself a certificate for a tour to the Playtime Factory naturally a few weeks later in 1993 Jack is found visiting the section where do's D was created however while being unattended to Jack slips over and tragically falls in the
dough presumably ending the life of an innocent young child at least for now this shocked playtime CO as in the chapter 4 ARG we saw incident reports from the employees at the scene theorizing what went wrong from Bad safety equipment to bad parenting to the kid being stupid before begging to not be held accountable and have their lives ruined from the incident as there was a ton of news coverage from it but punishments aside Jack aers had passed away and was never coming back at least so we thought because going into the actual chapter 4
inside of the kitchen area we come across a letter addressed to Jack's parents reading dear Mis and Mrs airs we can give him back to you your son jack can live show this message to No One 6 weeks from the time of receiving this letter return to the Playtime co- Factory someone will be waiting for you there and this was because behind the scenes they were working on creating a bigger body of doey the do man experiment 1322 but in order to create the massive 900lb creature they needed to use three separate children in order
to create him as one and Jack was going to be the first 1322a and as for the other two well later in the game we find a VHS tape reporting on 1322 we've successfully extracted subject 1322 which is actually a continuation of the 1322 report we saw all the way back in chapter 3 about a child Kevin which was originally interrupted by a confused kid in Home Sweet Home designated 1 3 22 we've pulled him from the home suite home just before lights out to perform what are you doing with my friend what are you
doing out of bed which is some super interesting foreshadowing but fast forward to this tape they discuss experiment 1 322b Kevin I attempted to detail the subject's condition and overview the suitability of one Kevin Barnes in relation to project doy a child who was a major problem in play care being super confrontational and aggressive which gave the scientists worries the final experiment could go Mayhem which was some more definite foreshadowing into what we would end up seeing the neuro abnormalities are detailed in connection to behavioral issues demonstrated within play care aggressive and often confrontational social
Tendencies clearly relay that Kevin is a problem child what friends he does have he's reported to have attacked these Tendencies raise concerns however despite these concerns Kevin was extremely smart excelling at all of the game station games used to test the children's strength and mental cognition which was all Harley Sawyer the leader and the final say in the project one in the subject excels in all physical tests so in spite of said concerns in Dr Sawyer's eyes Kevin is ideal for the project this gave us two out of the three children as for 1 322c
in another document we learned about the third child in a counselor report Matthew Hollard described to be a dream child he's thoughtful kind considerate understanding and while maybe not as intelligent as some of the other children nor as physically gifted he more than makes up for it in his charm and Charisma it's just a shame he came to us already a boy of 15 while into his puberty most parents look for a child a lot younger showing that Matthew entered play care a lot older than all of the other orphans they also say Matthew suffered
from De deep insecurities but yet was seen as a leader to all of the younger ones giving us our third child all with notably unique personalities Matthew was kind and took a leadership role Kevin was the brains but was noticeably aggressive and confrontational while Jack is a bit less clear YouTuber Barney Goose pointed out it seemed that Jack's personality was just that he was younger and more innocent representing the childlike side of the three Barney also pointed out that they might have foreshadowed this connection in the first 10 seconds of the game as in the
doy VHS can see when he jumps on this picture it morphs into the three personalities a young innocent child an angry doy and an older happier and mature doey giving us the three but now for the most part doy seemed to be a success because throughout the game we see he generally displays traits of Matthew the leader and kind one of the group above them all taking the role of defending the entire Safe Haven filled with children but he still seemed to have struggled with these personality shifts to a pretty extreme level sometimes this comes
in minor ways like seeing him go from Angry to silly to rational back and forth as you play the game but it also affected him in some pretty interesting major ways for instance after defeating doy in his boss fight we can see a VHS tape where he logged himself leaving the prison I'm I'm I'm not sure if this thingy is on but I need to talk discussing how he at some point escaped the area and realized that at any moment he could have freed himself thanks to his ability to morph around at ease and he
had every opportunity to escape the hell that was the Playtime co- Factory I'm here outside the prison and seeing this again it's given me reason to think I could make for the exit it's all I'd wanted but yet he couldn't bring himself to as his internal leadership qualities held him down realizing these children of Safe Haven needed him to live a safe life but there are others inside others that aren't like me they can't go where I can they'd mean a lot to to me and having seen what I have knowing how much they need
me I'm going back he logged this tape so he wouldn't forget what he was fighting for as his personalities fought between each other I wanted to make this in case I ever doubt or forget that just play this and remember and a bit more tragic is the continuation of the Jack story as eventually his parents accepted the letter sent from playtime Co and in a different VHS tape they logged their visit to finally see Jack sir ma'am I ask that you remain calm whenever you interact with the patient is that him is that my boy
yes ma it is and things were extremely sad as first dyjack didn't recognize his family but also wasn't aggressive he was likely representing Matthew at this point Jack I want you to know I'm so so sorry who are you then before his parents get too much time doy suddenly turns a vicious leave me alone mommy's only here to talk no no I don't want to talk get out screaming at his parents locked inside of the room with him as he attacks them and they beg for somebody to let them out I'm not leaving you not
ever again do you hear me the gentle voices lie I know what they do Susan get away from it Jack hey open open this door please open the door [Applause] please they would not survive this incident and after we finally see Jack's personality come [Music] out as he lays among his parents old bodies he cries in regret for what he just did but in terms of the game itself this leads us to the peak of all of his rage after we enter safe haven to find it destroyed everything Matthew had built up and protected these
children of was gone and now this allowed for his anger to fully take control he morphed himself into a large evil Beast giving us our chasing and also boss fight where we are charged with freezing him and sawing him apart and while for the most part his anger takes full control here we still see elements of his old self as if you listen to him speak during the fight he is crying and seems so full of emotion he spins through personalities at the snap of a finger just want to play a little longer it anyone
this eventually all culminates in him attempting to attack us one final time at the end where we see one final look into his three personalities both physically where we can see he has an angry face and two sad faces representing the three shaken children and verbally he angrily screams about how it's our fault representing Kevin you and Poppy it's all your fault then yells about his insecurities trying to protect the children being Matthew I tried to be better to be who they need smart enough not good enough before he screams in pain as we crush
him and for one final moment we see the innocent child from the very beginning Jack muster out one final apology for the way he acted I'm sorry I'm sorry then doey dies ending his heartbreaking story
