Analysis[]
Harley Sawyer visits the first successful experiment of the Bigger Bodies Initiative. The monster (Boxy Boo) roars angrily as Sawyer revels in his success, proclaiming that "many doors have opened". Music chimes can be heard in the background while Sawyer monologues. The next step of the plan is to tailor the monster's appetite to eat human flesh. Sawyer asks a nearby doctor for an update on Rowan Stoll. The sound of phone ringing is heard and Sawyer notices that someone is recording him, and yells for them to put down the camera.
The video cuts off at the 1:06 mark, being replaced with text being typed on the screen. The unknown writers welcome the viewer back, stating that their gift has finally arrived. The gift in question is a telephone placed in the Screening Room. The group of entities claim they are working on establishing a secure connection. They try to end the conversation, but the viewer remains. The entities recognize that the viewer wants answers, yet they wonder why they do, stating that the viewer created them. The entities say they'll be in touch, and the video ends.

Trivia[]
- It's presumed that the person recording was Rowan Stoll, calling back to the events of the Project: Playtime Unlockable ARG. This event is when he finds out about Boxy Boo, leading up to his third recording.
- This is further evidenced by Boxy Boo's hand being on the video and his music box chime heard in the tape.
- The line "IT IS THE PHONE." may be linked to the phone picked up in Chapter 3.
- It's hard to say exactly where this tape fits in the timeline. Based off the way The Doctor speaks about Boxy Boo, it seems obvious that this tape was recorded right after his creation around mid-1990. However, the Rowan Stoll situation is also mentioned, which took place in 1991 and also involved the Bigger Body form of Huggy Wuggy, who came 10 experiments after Boxy.
