Kiki

WARNING: This article may contain spoilers!

Kiki is a character that appears as one of the antagonists in the Emily Wants To Play series.

Story[]

Before the game, Kiki was a porcelain doll belonging to a puppet master named Vult Ludere. Ludere used dolls to entertain children during his shows. She was a part of a group of four dolls, Mr. Tatters being one of them. According to the local journal, people started to disappear after Ludere's shows, stating that 12 people already went missing. It is unknown what happened to Ludere, however, Kiki fell into the possession of a girl whose father was a mayor. The mayor's daughter, (as well as many others) eventually died from the disease known as Cholera. There was a large outbreak, and Kiki was assumed to be contaminated.

Emily Wants To Play[]

Kiki came into ownership of another girl named Emily Withers. She also welcomed Chester and Mr. Tatters and the girl loved the three of them instantly calling them "her friends". After the dolls' arrival, Emily's behavior started to change, causing her parents to feel deeply disturbed. Emily eventually died of an unknown cause and the dolls began to appear in random locations of the house. Emily's parents died while preparing to move out.

Emily Wants To Play Too[]

Based on whiteboards written by Emily that can found around Central Evidence, it is implied that the dolls were taken away to be researched after the events of the first game. After Emily arrives at Central Evidence to reunite with her dolls, they all agree to play games with the Sandwich Delivery Man (the main protagonist of the sequel). Around 9 P.M., Kiki begins a ritual in the warehouse to bring Maxwell Steele to life, which the protagonist eventually comes to witness. It is unknown how Kiki had received these abilities. Eventually at 7 A.M., Emily and the dolls set fire to the building as they escape. In the ending cutscene, Kiki, Emily and the rest of the dolls are seen facing Vult Ludere in a dark room. He says to Emily that he cannot allow her out anymore and that they are one. Emily lets out a loud scream as the screen fades to black.

Gameplay[]

Emily Wants To Play[]

Kiki becomes active at 12 AM where her game appears to be peek-a-boo. She will giggle when appearing behind the player. When Kiki appears, the player must locate her, then stare at her until she disappears. Do not look away from her for too long or else she will come closer. She then eventually tags you, ending the game. In some cases, the player can monitor Kiki as they leave the room, but there's always a chance that she will follow you and have a great chance of tagging you, resulting in a game over. Sometimes when appearing, Kiki may cut off the lights in the room similar to Mr. Tatters, but she will do it much more often. Kiki is inactive for 11 PM, 2 AM, and 4 AM.

Emily Wants To Play Too[]

Kiki can first be seen in the dream. Her behavior is identical to the first game with some key difference: her laugh has been updated. Kiki is active once the player reaches the warehouse in level area 2.
