WARNING: This article may contain spoilers!

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

Story[]

Before the game, Mr. Tatters was a clown doll belonging to a puppet master named Vult Ludere. Ludere used dolls to entertain children during his shows. He was a part of a group of four dolls, Kiki is one of them. According to the local journal, people started to disappear after Ludere's shows, stating that 12 people already went missing. While Kiki assumingly started to spread the Cholera disease, Mr. Tatters destroyed a circus with the help of a fire where he found Chester.

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 very 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.

Gameplay[]

Emily Wants To Play[]

Mr. Tatters first becomes active at 1 AM where he plays his game Red Light Green Light with the Pizza Delivery Man. When Mr. Tatters appears, he will emit dark and creepy laughter. If Mr. Tatters emits the second sound, the pizza man must stop moving until Tatters emits a sigh and leaves. If the pizza man moves while it is "Red light" after the second sound, he then attacks the player, sending them back to the start of the hour. He will stay active with Chester until 4 AM when Emily Withers herself comes out to play. When this hour is over, he and all other antagonists will come after the pizza man. He is also known to turn off the lights occasionally but not as often as Kiki.

Emily Wants To Play Too[]

Mr. Tatters first becomes active during 8 PM if the players engage with him in the entrance area. Mr. Tatters's red light, green light game is a bit more interesting. The spotlight on the player will turn green when it is safe to move and red when it's not. Players must now tag Mr. Tatters in order to be safe. But if the player fails to tag Mr. Tatters within three cycles, he will walk up to the player and jumpscare them. At 4 AM, Mr. Tatters participates in the 'Freezie Tag' game with a significant role. If players pass him while trying to catch everyone, he will freeze the player on a red light for a small time.

Appearance[]

Mr. Tatters is a clown doll whose face is very detailed, having yellowish - green teeth, thick black eyeshadow, red cheeks and red lipstick. While most of it is covered by his hat, Mr. Tatters has red hair and red eyes.

He wears a tricolor suit with a blue top hat, completed with white gloves and stereotypical clown shoes.
