Could Elliot Ludwig be alive, and could Leith Pierre be toying with us?

Now, before anyone says, I know that it’s implied in chapter 4 that’s Harley Sawyer may have played a part in Ludwig’s death. However, Playtime.co is obviously a place that doesn’t let death stop it from achieving its goals. And even more obvious, Ludwig most likely wouldn’t let his death get in the way of whatever his goal was.

I know that most believe Ludwig could be the prototype, but I have other speculations. I do particularly believe that Ludwig could be the prototype, but there is also other potential.

Another thing, I believe that Leith Pierre has something to do with the “death” of Elliot Ludwig. As mentioned, he is Ludwig’s successor. And as far as we have seen, Pierre has a cocky attitude to him, he knows he’s on top of everything and is fully aware he can take advantage of that. And it is implied that Leith Pierre could still be alive.

Not only that, but Pierre also played part in Harley Sawyer becoming what he was. So who’s to say he didn’t do the same to Elliot Ludwig? Others do speculate that Leith Pierre could be the player, but I highly doubt that. If that was the case, Poppy, Dogday, Doey and Kissy would have not shown any sympathy towards us.

Does anyone remember the theory that Walt Disney was frozen after his death, in order to preserve his body? Well, what if that’s the case here for Elliot Ludwig? I think that, Leith Pierre is keeping Ludwig alive in the same state, frozen or in a deep sleep, like the orphans who were said to be hidden in Playtime.co.

I think, both Eliot Ludwig and Leith Pierre are alive. One obviously more powerful than the other.

This is why, in my reasoning, Elliot Ludwig is less likely to be the prototype, and Leith Pierre most likely is the prototype himself.

In every single chapter, Pierre is mentioned in a video tape, or in at least some sort of way. I think this is him, as the prototype, trying to ward us off. He thinks that he can scare the player by making them aware of the things he has done to potentially hundreds of children and workers, which acts as a threat that he wouldn’t hesitate to do it to us.

And before you ask how Leith Pierre could still be alive after this time, cannibalism. Cannibalism wouldn’t be much of a long shot, not for what has happened so far in the game.

So, I stand by my choice that Leith Pierre is the most likely person to be the prototype, or at least be the builder/controlling it. Controlling it as in, from a separate room in the factory somewhere. Maybe towards the end of the game, that might be what the goal is? We find Leith Pierre hidden in the factory somewhere and finally have him arrested with all of the evidence we have.

Any thoughts?
