Doey the Doughman

Doey the Doughman, also known as Doey, was a toy experiment produced by Playtime Co. and an ally turned antagonist in Chapter 4: "Safe Haven". He was the putty-like leader who acted as the guardian and caretaker of the toys in Safe Haven. Unlike other experiments in the Bigger Bodies Initiative, it was unique among its kind in that it was made up of three different people: Jack Ayers, Kevin Barnes, and Matthew Hallard. It was given the title Experiment 1322.

Curiosities • Doey the Doughman—and by proxy, Doey Dough—appears to be inspired by Play-Doh, a modeling clay toy created in 1956.[4] • The nature of Doey's body may be a pun on the Christmas song "Frosty the Snowman". It appears that Doey's hat is the only solid part of his body, and only the mass in contact with it is alive, reminiscent of how Frosty was brought to life by his hat. • Her appearance was revealed two days before the trailer on the Poppy Playtime subreddit. • Doey the Masseuse only appeared in Easter egg form before his reveal in the Chapter 4: Doey the Masseuse Gameplay Trailer. • Like Yarnaby, Doey's design was also done by Maxotron.[5]

• Doey is the first experiment created by multiple people. • He is also the first experiment to be created (albeit partially) by someone who is not a Playcare orphan or a Playtime Co. employee. • It is implied that each child correlates to a particular color within Doey: Jack is yellow (unhappiness or sadness), Matthew is red (love or courage), and Kevin is orange (anger or madness). This is further proven in Doey's hostile form, where his body loses the red and yellow colors and becomes primarily orange, as Kevin completely takes over Doey. • He is also unable to control all three people when things go wrong or get extremely bad, as seen in the destruction of Safe Haven, which was the tipping point for Doey becoming monstrous. • Doey is the only mascot that has two types of toys: in the form of packages with plasticine and in the form of a separate toy. • Doey is the first experiment where the experiment number is revealed in a previous chapter: Chapter 3 • Doey may have been based on Clayface from DC Comics, as both have the ability to shapeshift, although Doey can only change his shape, while Clayface can change his appearance to disguise himself as someone. • It may even be slightly inspired by Two Face, with the inclusion of split personalities. One who wants to do the good thing, and one who wants to do the bad thing.

• His voice is very similar to that of the Disney cartoon character Goofy, from the Mickey Mouse franchise, and also to that of Patrick Star, from the Nickelodeon animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants. • Due to his long fingers, it is possible that Doey changed into his aggressive form when killing the Pianosaurus. • Doey the Doughman is voiced by Michael Kovach, who has voiced other characters in the series, such as Rich Lovitz, the Scientist, and Dr. White in Chapter 3. • According to Report 1322: Kevin, Doey weighs 900 pounds (408.23 kg), although this is potentially an exaggeration. • Doey's name (as well as Yarnaby's) is a combination of a trait they have and a normal name, with Doey being a combination of dough and Joey. • According to Isacx, Doey was originally planned to be in Chapter 2: "Fly in a Web" as an antagonist.[6] • Doey's personality switch before transforming may be a reference to Sméagol/Gollum from The Lord of the Rings. • Given Doey's multiple personalities and his tendency to switch from peaceful to violent quickly, it is unknown what happened to him during the Joy Hour and what his role in it was. • Doey would have had a side mission about retrieving a book that the children were reading at the orphanage, being The Adventures of the Word Wizard. This ended up being unused in the final version of the chapter. • Unused voice lines can be seen here.

History Toy version Doey Dough, a moldable dough like Play-Doh, was introduced in the late 1950s and became Playtime Co.'s second commercial success. after Poppy Playtime. [1] In the 1980s or 1990s, the character Doey the Doughman was created to be the mascot for Doey Dough, and then a figure of him was created to be sold separately from Doey Dough. As a child (Jack Ayers, Kevin Barnes, Matthew Hallard) The Doey the Doughman version of the experiment began with three different children. One was an innocent toddler named Jack Ayers, who had received an invitation to the Playtime Co. factory for Christmas in 1992, along with a Doey the Doughman toy. During his tour on January 22, 1993, Jack was seen away from the rest of the tour group, in a dough-mixing facility, before falling into the vat mixer. The second was a temperamental boy named Kevin Barnes, who easily threw tantrums and hurt everyone around him when overwhelmed, even his friends. The last was a smart and well-mannered teenager named Matthew Hallard, who cared for those around him, making some scientists hesitant to "waste" him in an experiment. The three were then combined into one toy, presumably to make a combination of all three of the boys' traits.

Like Doey the Masseur Shortly after the tank incident, an unknown scientist contacted Jack's parents - Susan and George Ayers - to reveal that they could bring their son back. Six weeks after receiving the initial letter, Susan and George visited Jack as Doey. [3] The scientists locked them in Doey's room. Jack had no memory of them before Kevin briefly took control of the experiment and killed them in a fit of rage, believing them to be scientists who had hurt him, which is presumably what the scientists intended. "A reminder" Some time after the Hour of Joy, Poppy disappeared. Doey briefly considered leading the way out of the facility. Doey decided that he should stay and help the other remaining toys and created Safe Haven. Doey created a VHS tape titled "A Reminder" to remind himself of his motivation to keep staying.

"Security Feed: 02.01.01" At Safe Haven on February 1, 2001, a Bigger Bodies Hoppy Hopscotch, the Medic, and Doey the Doughman were tending to a broken toy. When Doey asked what happened, Hoppy claimed that while trying to bring supplies back from the elevator, they were attacked and everything they had was stolen. Especially after one of them bit Hoppy's leg, they had to turn around and head back to Safe Haven. Doey insisted that the Medic and Hoppy stay behind to tend to the broken toy while he went to Playcare to replenish his food supplies. After Hoppy apologized to Doey, saying that she would make sure they never lost supplies again, Doey said that everything was fine, despite the bite she had received in the process. He wanted to start helping the broken toy by retrieving some wound cream to treat its wounds.

Chapter 4: "Safe Haven" In 2005, while attempting to navigate a crumbling ledge, The Player fell directly into the Pianosaurus' enclosure, which immediately lunged at them only to be grabbed by a series of stretchy arms (presumably Doey in his aggressive form) and pulled into the shadows to be eaten. Emerging from the darkness alongside broken pieces of the Pianosaurus was the Player's mysterious sidekick: Doey the Doughman (now back in his passive guise). He told them to follow him, as he knew a way to a safe place on this level: the Safe Haven. Following Doey, The Player was led through the Prison Yard and across gaps by Doey's ability to reshape his body as he pleased. As they approached the Haven, Doey got ahead of The Player, who was soon pulled into a corner by Poppy and a badly damaged Kissy Missy out of the way of the Prototype's legs. The trio ran the rest of the way to the Safe Haven, a heavily fortified section of the facility with its own separate power grid, where the last of the non-aggressive toys hid under Doey's protection.

After arriving at Safe Haven, Poppy revealed her plan to burn down the factory, taking the Prototype with her. While it was an effective plan where Poppy was the martyr, it also meant that she wanted to make sure that no one left Playtime Co. alive. This meant letting many innocent lives perish. Doey disagreed with this plan, but most followed Poppy blindly, though they did not fully trust her. It turns out that Poppy knew about the Joy Hour, making her disappearance that much more questionable. This is confirmed by the Doctor and the children at Safe Haven. Poppy had not been seen since the Joy Hour, meaning that she left Doey to protect the other toys for a decade. What was clear, however, was how much Doey cared about the other toys. To ensure that everyone was safe, Doey gave the Player the main objective of defeating the Doctor. The Player had to first face Sawyer's minions before they could face him, however. These included (in order) the Nightmare Critters, Yarnaby, and Baba Chops. Returning to Safe Haven, Poppy wanted The Player to follow through with her plan. The Player, alone, went to the gas tanks, tasked with placing explosives against the pipes housing lethal gas that will implode when ignited. This was the plan to bring down the factory to destroy the Prototype and end its suffering once and for all.

Sawyer's death gave the Prototype the opening to attack Safe Haven. Doey tried to distract him, but failed. An explosion and massacre occurred at Safe Haven, where Doey blamed himself for not being there to protect his friends and family. This was the final straw, and he found himself unable to control himself and the guilt of the Prototype's attack on the safe haven, causing Kevin and his rage to take over Doey completely. Wanting to blame someone else, he turned on the Player. However, he was soon buried in the rubble of the explosion, transforming into a reptilian monster with three heads in its mouth, representing the three boys who made Doey who he was. He chased the Player through underground zones that lead to an underground construction site. Unable to turn him back to normal, the Player was forced to kill Doey in the underground construction zone, where they used canisters of liquid nitrogen, industrial saws, and a tunnel boring machine to kill him, who apologized for his actions before dying.

Skills and Anatomy Doey appears to be made of a putty-like substance, which gives him the ability to mold himself into other shapes and fit easily into tight spaces. As shown in the Chapter 4: Doey the Doughman Gameplay Trailer, he suffers no ill effects from this process. Throughout Chapter 4, Doey has proven to be one of the most dangerous experiments, as his polymorphic physiology makes him extremely strong, flexible, and virtually unkillable. He effortlessly killed Pianosaurus and even held off the Prototype. When enraged, he can transform into a more monstrous form, seen when he lets his rage get the better of him after blaming the Player and Poppy for causing the destruction of Safe Haven. While Doey is nearly indestructible thanks to his clay body, he does, however, have one weakness. Being made of clay, freezing Doey hurts him greatly, and trapping him under a spinning drill is what kills him at the end of the chapter.

Personality Doey displays a friendly and playful demeanor, but can also act serious when he deems it necessary, and alongside Poppy, serves as the leader of the Safe Haven group. As a beacon of hope for survivors, Doey puts on a brave face and willingly offers help to those in need, as long as they prove themselves not to be a threat to his or her friends' safety. Doey and Poppy Playtime have conflicting perspectives when it comes to deciding the fate of the factory and its toy inhabitants within. While Poppy is eager to destroy everything and bury the dirty history in the past, Doey is much more considerate of the lives of his fellow experiments, pointing out the humanity the toys once had, and possibly still have, in them. It is evident that he cares deeply for his friends within Safe Haven, as he himself made the personal decision to stay in the factory after finding a way out and realizing how much the toys looked up to him for his survival and guidance after Poppy abandoned them. Even so, their deaths at the hands of the Prototype (among other factors including personal trauma, insecurity, and the responsibility of being a leader) drove him into a frenzied rage.

As revealed in Chapter 4, Doey is a composite of three different children (Playtime Co. wanted him to have seemingly multiple purposes, likely because his shape-shifting abilities would allow him to do so); Kevin Barnes, Jack Ayers, and Matthew Hallard. The three children, with their different personalities, abilities, and history, each contribute a piece of themselves inside Doey, fragments of their personality reflected in Doey's actions and reactions to the things around him: Matthew's personality shines the brightest among the three: being the oldest (15 years old at the time of the experiment), he has been described as a "dream child", being kind and caring towards others, to the point that the younger children at Playcare see him as a role model. In Doey, he shines when he has to guide the survivors into Safe Haven as their leader. Despite being placed in a stressful situation, he always presents himself as strong and reliable in giving hope to the survivors, becoming their moral support as well; however, he also had many insecurities due to the trauma of an accident that killed his family.

Kevin was a behaviorally challenged child who acted aggressively, someone who could turn on his friends when he was in a fit of anger or intense emotion. While Doey is level-headed, being put in more urgent situations will cause his temper to flare extremely high, which was concerning. When Poppy admitted to having accidentally taken the Prototype to her lair, Doey can briefly be seen nearly attacking her before quickly calming down. The worst of his rage comes when he returns to Safe Haven with many of the refugees dead, the immense guilt and frustrations reaching a boiling point, causing Kevin to take control and attack the Player, Poppy, and everything else that caused the tragedy, transforming him into a disfigured monster with more animalistic features and behavior. In this state of uncontrollable rage, he lashes out at everything, even his allies, much like Kevin did. Jack was the most innocent and playful child of the three, and had a small figurine of Doey the Dough Man as his favorite toy. He accidentally fell into the dough processing machines, and the scientists at Playcare would add him to Project: Doey, even if it was to save his life, separating him from his parents forever (who are later killed by Doey when they visit him at Playcare). Jack's longing for his parents and normal life is often reflected in Doey's anguished cries, calling for his mother and father, and longing to return home during moments of inconsolable mental breakdowns when things go wrong.

Jack was the most innocent and playful child of the three, and had a small figurine of Doey the Dough Man as his favorite toy.

Jack's longing for his parents and normal life is often reflected in Doey's anguished cries, calling for his mother and father, and longing to return home during moments of inconsolable mental breakdowns when things go wrong. Near his death at the hands of the Player due to his uncontrollable rage, Doey spent his final moments apologizing to the Player for his actions, having attacked them and returned to his usual soft tone. He said "I'm sorry" twice, using different tones each time, which shows that Jack and Matthew were the ones who apologized. Despite all his shortcomings, Doey is a well-meaning individual who simply wanted survival and the best outcome for his friends and those he holds close to him, the three personalities that Playtime Co. has lumped together being the cause of his inevitable downfall.

Doey is a chubby mass creature made of a multicolored clay-like substance. His head and most of his torso are light blue, with a simple face on a relatively thin neck, and he wears a blue bowler hat. His arms are long and increase in thickness towards his forearms, with the left one being orange and the right one being yellow. Meanwhile, his legs are stubby, red protrusions. He has no facial features other than a line for a mouth and holes in his head representing eyes. Perhaps Doey's most unique feature is that the yellow, orange, and red mass on his belly forms the pattern of three flexible arms reaching out from the center of his stomach. When he is consumed by rage, sharp, red teeth can be seen lining his wide mouth, and are most apparent before his transformation.

His appearance in his most hostile form is drastically different from his normal appearance. Doey's hostile appearance, while still retaining the same color scheme as his regular counterpart (aside from losing the red and yellow schemes and primarily having an orange scheme, likely due to Kevin's rage taking over Doey's body), resembles a crocodile to some extent. Six human-like arms emerge from his torso while his rear section is left behind. Several smaller, seemingly insect-like legs emerge from said rear section. His head has been transformed into a tooth-rimmed appendage similar in appearance to a leech or a sturgeon's mouth, with three gray-colored humanoid forms with red eyes emerging from the now cavernous mouth, representing his component children. In this form, he sports a tail. His tail has two divisions and three spikes. Two spikes are the same, with the middle one being longer and larger than the other two. His tail also sports four small human arms, along with hands.
