Maybe The Player Was Fired Before That Day? Idk - Tumblr Posts

I want to share my theory of The Hour of Joy, in particular why it happend on that day specifically.

So why The Hour of Joy happend on that day, 8th of August 1995, is because there was supposed to be an important meeting in playtime co where every worker had to be present that day. And what better day then this day specifically where every worker from playtime co was present to start The Hour of Joy.

I had this theory in mind because of that hidden radio message of the player's fever dream in chapter 3, you know the one that you need to reverse to understand what it says. One dialogue in it is "You missed the meeting." and while I know it refers to The Hour of Joy, it made me think about if there perhaps was supposed to be an actual meeting in playtime co where everyone working there had to be present that day.

This of course still leaves the question open of why the player was not present that day but who knows. They definitely have survivors guilt that’s for sure.
