Chester is character that appears as one of the antagonists in the Emily Wants To Play series.
Story[]
Chester belonged to a ventriloquist named Chester O'Leary. One day, O'Leary died of unknown causes, but was predicted to be a heart attack or stroke. At some point, Chester was grouped with Kiki and Mr. Tatters. Eventually, all three dolls ended up being owned by a girl named Emily Withers, the girl loved them instantly calling them "her friends". Emily's behavior started to change, causing her parents to feel deeply disturbed.
Personality[]
When jumpscaring the player in the first game, Chester will smirk and smile with amusement. Chester is playful and evil, often acting like a badly behaved toddler, even though his age is not yet confirmed.
Chester also seems to hate doors and corners, which is told to us by Emily Withers (presumably) in the one o’clock hour in Emily Wants To Play Too.
Gameplay[]
Emily Wants To Play[]
Chester becomes active at 2 AM, along with Mr. Tatters where the game he likes to play is Tag. To escape Chester, players must run into another room that he is not inside of. The signal of Chester's presence is his high-pitched laughter. The entire basement counts as one room. An easy way to avoid him is always staying as close to any door as possible, that way if he spawns in a room, the player can just walk right in. Chester may also appear in the same room the player runs into, which could result in losing the hour.
Chester and Mr. Tatters may appear at the same time. This is a common way players lose. A quick tip to avoid this is to stay near a door to quickly run into another room before Tatters turns around.
If Chester appears while the player is looking at Kiki, players will have to run to the next room while continuing to look backward. If Chester appears in the basement the player must use the stairs to outrun him. Chester will remain active until 4 AM, leaving with the other dolls while Emily Withers comes out to play.
Chester is faster than the player's running speed. Chester doesn’t turn very fast and has to stop before pursuing the player in the other direction. Although going around furniture is going to slow him down, Chester has high acceleration and will go back to full speed towards the player.
Emily Wants To Play Too[]
Aside from his appearance in the dream sequence, Chester is the first doll seen alive by the sandwich delivery man. Manifesting an occult ritual, the door closes itself on Chester when the player tries to reach him and investigate. He becomes active at 10 PM, if the players engaged him in the Entrance Area. At 11 PM, if the player takes too long maneuvering in the vents and at discovering Emily Withers, he will kill them. At 1 AM, Chester is fully active and begins chasing the player. The whiteboard will say "Chester Marathon! (wait right here)" with a winking face.
Unlike the previous game, Chester can now follow players into different areas and rooms. Taking the perimeter rout around the building will assist in a steady run from Chester. A good method for players is to shut doors behind them to cause Chester to delay his chase, as well as use walls and corners to their advantage. Chester's running speed will be faster and longer during the one o'clock hour.
