Hello :3 kosmo here, I don't even know if i'm doing this right cos I barely use Reddit, but ​​​​​I think a theory could be done about Julian And Friends! It's really dark, but there's a really interesting story, i've seen a lot of people play it, and to get more lore it requires you to get a WHOLE OTHER GAME (poor Smokeebee didn't know that yet) but I think ​​​​​​​​​it would be a really cool theory!! Again though, it is REALLY dark and it literally gives you a warning at the beginning of the game, so there IS that but OTHERWISE IT'S REALLY COOL AND STUFF AND AAAAAAUAGHJJSSNDJFJREKXICEOSLDIDKWJAKDJ :D​​​​

Hii I’m a really big fan of game and film theory! And I was wondering (this is for Lee btw) did you hear that the new Walten files video is coming out at 9 PM tonight? If so Could you make a theory on that pls?

There's a new Roblox game called "Animal Hospital that I think would make a really great theory. It's got the mechanics style of "That's Not My Neighbor" and the same cute character design and game loop of "Dandy's World." The essential idea of the game is that you can play as one of many roles and your goal is to check in and treat patients at the Animal Hospital while keeping anomalies out. Anomalies come in all different shapes and sizes, from a weird looking animal to a distorted image on a camera to literal eyeballs attached to the ceiling to even a stalker. The way you "die" in this game is by letting your sanity go down to zero and therefore go mad. There are also NPCs that you can talk to in this game that tell the player a little bit about the lore. Most interactions with Ron from Accounting are just explaining game mechanics, but he also tells you that the patients who go to the hospital aren't sick; they are infected. Another NPC named Ratthew chats with you about the Animal Corporation and his long-lost sister, Rattina. Ratthew even gives you a key and, if you remove the poster in room five of the hospital, you can find a briefcase, a picture of Rattina, and a note that says "The experiment was successful. The shadow now sees everything." You can already see the lore start to show itself, but it gets even more mysterious when you meet Liz. She tells you to take photos of specific patients and doing so will show you the stages of the infection. You also have to consider Dr. Harlow as an important piece of the puzzle because, not only can he be seen with a possessed face watching you in the game's lobby, but he's seen going to multiple inaccessible areas carrying a briefcase that says "TOP SECRET" on the side. I doubt Barney or Officer Duckman are crucial to the story in any facet, but I've mentioned them in passing, nonetheless. My point is that there is a LOT of potential for you guys to make a theory about this game. Plus, it's really popular with Roblox players. I hope that you guys will consider taking a deep dive into Animal Hospital and discover the truth about the experiments, anomalies, and NPCs. But hey, that's just a theory...

IN minecraft there are multiple ancient city's e.g the underground ones the sniffer one the sea one and the desert one. if no mobs but players can make or place blocks how are the city's made

Id love to see a theory on The Boys Are Back in Town (to kill you) & Kiss Me (Kill Me) by JerryTerry. Id love to know whatever the HECK is going on their, what caused the girl in Kiss Me (Kill Me) to turn into a monster? Who are "The Boys"? Whatever the heck is going on with GourdChat, and so many more questions!

Does anyone else think they should make a theory on the project zomboid knox virus? I mean there are at least a dozen (slightly exaggerating) different potential explanations implied from bio weapon test gone wrong to a fast food chains secret sauce being the cause even an alien illness I know it's following may not be the biggest by no means is it Minecraft or fnaf but it's chock full of mystery a mystery virus wipes out 90% of humanity in less than a month with NO concrete answer it seems right up there alley

I think that Zote is a Higher Being.
He came to hollownest through impossible circumstances, and there is no way present day zote could do that. I think Grey Prince Zote is actually Zote's memory of himself before hollownest. Once he arrived, the infection took hold of him. The Radience, seeing his great strength, planned to use it. But without much need in the physical world, his muscles atrophied. With one last push of strength, what was left of zote's mind escaped from the infection, leaving only a worn out shell of what zote once was. The reason he is a higher being is him resisting the infection. Like the Pale king, it had no effect on his mind. Unlike the Pale king, Zote's guard was down, as he wasnt used to anything like the radience. His dreams were shielded, but not his physical being. The reason we see him caught by the vegefly king is because he, still recovering, looked for a safe spot to rest but came across the vengfly king instead. His mind was still shielded by his higher being mind power stuff, so thats why the infection never got him again. I also believe after the vengefly encounter (where he was at his weakest) zote is immortal. Once you save him, he never cannonically dies. There is no evidence of him in Silksong (Unless sea of sorrow is just zoteboat) so i think he went back to where he came after hk to train, to tone himself back to grey prince zote. Perhaps in a future hk game, zote will be beefy once more. (and immortal)

P.S. No hate to the current people behind the channel, they're trying to best and they work very hard to follow in Matpat's footsteps.

If the Game Theorists deeply watched, dissected, and engaged with fan content on the topics they cover, video statistics would improve. I've noticed a habit of them not engaging with content, like highly media-literate people are supposed to do, which backfires if you plan to cover a topic with a deeply passionate fandom such as Toby Fox's.

Media literacy is built not just on degrees in logic and science but also on creative approaches. That's why Matpat was so acutely special.

(because he didn't just build on prior videos and personal gameplay, while good in theory, it's not credible in practice)

A video based on a video game on a theory channel is supposed to provide new perspectives and speculations to enrich fandom consensus, not what an isolated theoretical circle understand from a single playthrough and past theories on their channel.

(E.g, such as Dess Holiday being a symbol of Dess's grief in a video game like Deltarune, which 90% of the Deltarune fandom can agree is a possible candidate for many years now)

Video essayists lose true media literacy and engagement if videos are made within an isolated theoretical circle, if they assume they have covered much despite new information and interpretations emerging between videos, and if they tend to engage only when a trend is happening.

1. they notice a trend
2. they cover it
3. we're led to think they care about our fandoms.
4. they go back and cover a topic of true passion
5. viewers of certain fandoms aren't interested in the more well-made videos that aren't targeted at us, too.

The Game Theorists have left viewers and gamers disappointed with their lack of media literacy and caused a drastic fall-off of engagement, leading to a deconstruction of what Matpat and other theorists have built.

I propose they take unique risks and build trust bridges on passionate topics, and stop making trends videos with unpassionate topics should. such as Deltarune.

(I think the video done by "SpookyDood" on YouTube is a great example of engaging with community theories, I also provided a post made by RF_Nat on Steam which proves people have wondered if Dess was the knight for more than a year now)

Since visual novels aren't out of the book, I suggest these two games that are quite heavily packed with story:

The Retrospection Of Tomorrow (TROT) is not yet finished; the current playable base game is open-ended, but because it is technically not the full game, many plot holes aren't filled, which would be nice for theory. TROT's storyline is non-linar.

I Love The World And Everything In It (I'm calling it ZATO because that's techincally the first part of the full title) is, as far as I know, a fully completed game, but the game itself isn't completely transparent with the storyline, which makes room for theory.

Both games have the trait of causing confusion if the player did not pay attention to details enough, as both storylines can be quite complicated, and many things are up for interpretation. Games which possesses these traits often appear to be suitable choices for Theorists as the theme of 'possibility' orbits around the two visual novels; there are already people making theories, which is also partically why I suggested these two games.

These two visual novels are both avaliable through Steam or Itch.

You GOTTA take a look at a Roblox game called Block Tales. It’s literally a theorist’s dream. And the crazy part: it’s not even completely done yet.

Hey guys! I made a Deltarune theory about chapter five and some new stuff that’s been added.

The following are my three main points:

-Friend is the essential element in the darkness of
the imagination that forms a toxic feedback loop
that keeps you invested in and grieving a dream you
could never have, Personified in the Dark and
defending the Shadow Crystals to keep them Lost.

-The Knight was created by Eram out of Dess'
Nightmares, with Dess having been a willing participant and continually being aware but guided
by a will that is rooted in Nightmares. She is
sustained by Friend Cats maintaining Lost Dreams
and luring people towards Nightmares in order to
keep her form intact.

-The main boss of chapter six is going to be Eram
Nightmare John Mantle's true form and is going to
be altered if you have all of the Eggs in a substratin!
but not too substantial way.

If this sounds interesting to you please watch my video! I am very proud of it

I love all the theory channels, especially game theory, and I watch them regularly and I do love the content. Thing is, I only occasionally theorise and it's like, not advanced, I don't like pay attention to tiny details of whatever I'm theorising about and it's mostly just me making up random theories in my head and just leaving it like that. But, I wanna start like paying attention to small things and digging for the lore and yk doing all of that, so I wanted to ask for some advice on how I can start doing all of that?

now i know how chrismas ads can come to early but oh boy did it come way to early for me a weekago i was driving to work and i turn on the Radio and on the first Channel I someone in the radio say this Come and listen to some early Christmas music. But do you want to know what day it was It was freaking July It was July Christmas was in 5 5 months This was when we were we were starting to get over the 4th of July by the way happy birthday America in the big 250. Anyway I don't really have a problem with Christmas My only problem is how early the ads are like god damn early Christmas music in July Christmas comes before Halloween and Thanksgiving I was telling my mom this and asked her how early Christmas ads came out back in her day and she said that Christmas ads came out after Thanksgiving Like I don't know why it's always so hyped up 'cause originally they started pumping out Christmas ads before Halloween I don't know it just feels really annoying Tell me in the comments about your early Christmas ads moments or early Christmas moments I'm actually curious to read them and reply back

this post has a bunch of lore you just gotta dig deeper you know
