Yeah you're absolutely right.
And I agree that Playtime Co ain't that stupid.
Sadly people like to dismiss a lot of things (on that later)
Oh, nice. And I see. I also think that it's a stretch with this laugh.
Anyway people claimed that "my kingdom is forever" is the Prototype thing. The problem is though that in one of death screens with this sentence there's this following sentence: "follow the golden path" which in no way is related to the Prototype but to Harley Sawyer.
And I realized that thanks to maze of messages - Harley Sawyer's thoughts in chapter 4 ARG.
I also realized that "innovation is key" is another Sawyer's thing.
And thanks to that we know that Sawyer was hinted at since the beginning.
Whether some changes were made or not it doesn't matter as it is consistent to Doctor's character.
Cause people claimed that the Prototype is the main antagonist (as if it means that his bigger bad than Sawyer) obviously cause he was there since chapter 1 and the Doctor wasn't but that's not true at all.
Visible cameras recording, eyes of Make a Friend machine following us, death screen with phrase specific only for Sawyer:
"INNOVATION IS KEY. THANK YOU SCIENCE." - chapter 1
"INNOVATION IS KEY. MAY WE FORGET DEATH." - chapter 2
"INNOVATION IS KEY. WE ARE BORN ANEW." - chapter 3
"INNOVATION IS KEY. FOR WE'VE TORN APART." - chapter 4
"INNOVATION IS KEY. FOLLOW THE GOLDEN PATH." - chapter 4
"My kingdom is forever. Follow the golden path." - chapter 4
"My kingdom is forever. They'll all see." - chapter 4
And while most of Doctor's texts are written in all caps and those with "my kingdom is forever" are not I still think that latter sentences are in character for Sawyer. With "follow the golden path" it's obvious but "they'll all see" also fits due to how much Sawyer wants to be seen and credited for his work. Because without Sawyer there would be no working experiments.
Also another important thing that might get dismissed as just part of gameplay but it's odd that it happened more than one time is doors situation.
In chapter 1 at the end of Huggy chase sequence we are stuck before danger sign blocking our pathway and it only opens after a bit of time despite being automatic.
In chapter 2 when Mommy Long Legs dies in grinder the doors blocking our pathway unlocks only after Mommy's body was dragged by the Prototype.
In chapter 4 it's obvious that the Doctor opens and closes doors but there's once again a weird unexplained door opening at the end (which we already talked about) .
Only in chapter 3 the one doing stuff was CatNap but even there was a camera recording in the Office area.
And cameras recording were also in chapter 2. And we know that Sawyer was the one observing us because of "the story so far" videos.
There's also a thing with Omni-chip that apparently taking it "killed" the Doctor but at the same time we got a video restricted.omnitool.mp4 where the Doctor uses it to open the door for Yarnaby.
And yeah with the brain thing you mentioned in tags you're absolutely right cause unlike lungs and liver that left blood stains upon destruction brain didn't seem to explode.
Even though both his lungs and liver explode due to overflow of electricity the brain apparently only fried which is odd when you think about it.
Anyway cause I'm rambling at this point lol
The Doctor seems to be carefully crafted with lots of hidden details to be an overarching antagonist:
The Overarching Antagonist, also known as the Bigger Bad or in some cases Greater-Scope Villain, is an antagonist or villain who is the reason the main antagonist or Big Bad started the conflict in the first place. Usually doesn't show up until the end of a series, movie, or game, and sometimes does not show up at all. This could come in the form of a god worshipped by the main antagonist, someone who died and motivated the main or central antagonists, a hidden antagonist orchestrated the events of the plot behind the curtain, etc.
And while the Doctor apparently died I doubt that he fits the archetype of dead overarching antagonist (it could be the case if creators didn't bring Sawyer to main game).
It's clear though while the Prototype is set up as main antagonist that the Doctor is set up as the overarching antagonist that is the bigger bad between the two.
And people claiming that the Prototype was behind everything are just plain wrong.
Even the letter sent to us wasn't written by the Prototype but most likely by Kissy Missy because the Prototype was the one who locked Poppy and didn't want her out. And the Prototype wanted us dead. "Try to land on your feet" didn't mean that the Prototype knew we'll survive. It meant that he was mocking to us because he knew we'll die (we didn't ofc but the Prototype doesn't know that).
I'm sorry for rambling so much xbbxbxbxnbzbx QwQ
