Analysis[]
Factory Tours Commercial[]
The video begins with a commercial, in which an announcer asks the viewer if they're a fan of the various Playtime Co. toys that the company has created. The scene then transitions to an outside shot of the factory, with the announcer suggesting the viewer visit and tour the factory, for the price of $17.99. At this point, the footage begins glitching - brief uncanny images occasionally flash across the screen for the remainder of the commercial - before cutting to a turning shot of the Entrance. While the scene gradually transitions to the Main Lobby, the announcer discusses about how everyone loves to see how the company makes their toys. However, his voice glitches out as the shot pans upward to the giant "statue" of Huggy Wuggy, who shifts his eyes to stare directly at the camera. Following this chilling shot, the scene cuts to black.
Trailer[]
At this point, the trailer itself begins, starting with a shot of The Player walking through the Main Lobby and looking at Huggy Wuggy. Then, text appears reading "TERRIBLE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED" - a throwback to a quote from Poppy in Chapter 2. The Player is then seen walking through the Game Station and then Playcare, before a shot of them walking through a hallway of employee corpses briefly glitches its way in. The trailer then cuts to black, with text appearing shortly afterward reading "COME BACK TO THE FACTORY". The next couple of shots show The Player in the Playhouse while Ruined Critters pursue, and The Player in Statues as PJ Pug-a-Pillar approaches. Text then appears once again reading "ATONE FOR YOUR SINS". Next, The Player can be seen entering the Poppy Area before a shot of Poppy's case opening with her inside appears, with her stating "You opened my case." The next shots show The Player using a grappling hook in a cave, standing in the School as Miss Delight gets nearer, playing Musical Memory and looking upward to see Bunzo Bunny descending toward them, and hiding from Yarnaby. Text then emerges reading "THINK FAST" before shots of The Player solving electrical puzzles are shown. More text then appears reading "RUN FASTER" and shots of The Player running from DogDay, Mommy Long Legs and Yarnaby are shown. The final piece of text reads "SURVIVE", with the trailer ending by showing various enemy encounters. The video concludes with the "Poppy Playtime" logo and a promotion to let the viewer know that the currently-available 4 chapters can be purchased on Steam and Epic Games.

Trivia[]
- A few seconds after the Smiling Critters are introduced, a glitch appears and CatNap disappears from the logo; a callback to his fate in CatNap Recall.
- CraftyCorn and KickinChicken are also absent from the logo.
- The commercial shows that the factory tour prices had significantly increased since Poppy Playtime’s release in 1950. This could be due to inflation, though it could also be due to Leith Pierre or one of his colleagues increasing the prices themselves after Elliot Ludwig’s death.
- The "ATONE FOR YOUR SINS" message provides more evidence to the popular theory that The Player was involved with the Bigger Bodies Initiative.
