The Kaleidoscope DLC reveals that all Tattletail toys contain a special device called the Waydrive that gives them their lifelike characteristics.Why are the Tattletail toys sentient in the first place? The game seems to imply that Mama is possessed by some kind of demon, but what about the others? Are they alive in the same way as Mama, or is it Toy Story rules?.He might not even need power to keep going. Also, since he can get out of his box and into the washing machine, he clearly has more autonomy than he should. This could actually make the situation worse, either because Tattletail won't shut up or because you'd be effectively starving him, which could make him angry. Tattletail never actually runs out of power he'll just holler until you charge him.Even if the designers didn't include an Off switch, couldn't the child just muffle Tattletail with pillows until the battery completely died, then pack it back up, considering how quickly Tattletail seems to go through power? I don't think the parents would bat an eye at Tattletail needing to be charged out of the box considering that tends to be par for the course for most rechargeable toys.Given how the DLC plays out, the first game also being a simulation is entirely possible.Wouldn't be below her to basically make her children do slave work for luring in people she personally dislikes. Given Mama is Mama, one possible explanation could be that it was FORCED by Mama to have it take you to her.The fact that she isn't there means that she's beyond the bargaining stage. If he is the one directing the player, maybe Tattletail wants to introduce you to Mama Tattletail personally? Tattletail probably figures that if he introduces you to Mama personally that he can convince her not to kill you.

First, are we even sure that it's Tattletail giving out the instructions in the first place? There are several times in the game where you are given commands despite Tattletail not being anywhere near you.Assuming that Tattletail is the one who gives you your prompts, why did it want you to take it to Mama? Did it have a plan to get rid of her right then and there? One of the other subpages specifically describes its reaction to seeing that Mama is missing as an Oh, Crap! reaction.They're trying to fool Mama Tattletail long enough to finish the ritual and stop her from killing all of the 'bad kids' they want to play with. Baby Talking Tattletail and his friends aren't trying to fool the Player.Simple: it was a Candlelit Ritual, just without the standard candles since the kid either doesn't have any or enough of them around the house.Most likely because they had to keep the Ritual hidden from Mama and if you knew then most likely Mama would know too.Because it wouldn't be SWEET revenge otherwise.Well, they had to keep the lights down somehow, and icing is pretty sticky.Maybe because they think that the Ritual may ruin your trust with them? After all, Rituals are a pretty shady thing.Why did they want to keep it a secret from you? Were they afraid that you wouldn't help them if you found out what they were really doing? Even after you've been bonding with them throughout the game?.Probably to keep up the charade that it's just a party for the Tattletails, to ensure that the ritual is a Wham Shot once you go back downstairs with the candles.Why did the Tattletails need cupcakes for the ritual?.Kind of like that one SCP- Except darkness-themed instead of sight-themed. Notice that when's she's close and ready to kill you, she says some things. I think she may be doing her Villain Teleportation when she's in the dark.There is something very wrong about the fact that not only were these things advertised, the toys were actually bought. The advertisements also make note of the fact that these toys can eat real food, and there are dead bodies strewn about in the ad video.How do Tattletails create eggs, let alone a seemingly endless supply of them? You could say it's just because they're supernatural, but isn't their egg-making ability advertised? Wouldn't that mean the creators know that the Tattletails are supernatural?.

while disturbing, it would explain a lot.

I saw a theory on this site that she was actually dead throughout the game, because Mama killed her.

Maybe she's just a very heavy sleeper, but it seems strange that we don't see her at all in the game. Some have theorized that (one of) the dead bodies in the trailer is the kid's father.

It's pretty clear the kid's mom is around, seeing as the last command before the good ending is to wake mother.

Where are this kid's parents? Could it be that they are the dead bodies hidden in the trailer? Who are we playing as, anyway?.

But really, your guess is as good as mine.

They had to sell the ritual because of budget cuts? I mean, the recession's hittin' everyone.
