Chefs Wearing Mask or Design Choice?

[陳長勝]

I watch markiplier's walkthrough where he mentioned that fatty chefs have mask on them which is pretty legit on my perspective.

So is it true Game Devs?

They are. There is an animation they do where they lift it up and wipe at their real face beneath

Yes, I saw it too! So weird.

I was wondering about this myself and was even going to start a topic discussing it!

I thought it looked like they were wearing masks, and this trading card picture seems to confirm it:

See how there's a dark hole (i.e. mouth) on the face underneath? Although that could just be the rolls of a fat neck bunched up into a coincidental shape.

But then I thought... This really looks like the masks they're wearing are made from actual faces! As in, they've cut the face off of someting and are wearing it over their own head. That seems a bit too dark, even for this game...

Still, Jynn's linked picture seems to show lips under the mask, so I guess they really are wearing something... Hopefully not mask my interpretation!

It's creepy, to be sure! When they're doing their 'looking for you' animation you can see glimpses of a head underneath the 'mask', and it really resembles the top of the Janitor's skull to me, in color.

And the Janitor himself, with his strange peeled looking face, might just have half a mask?

but if this is the case...then what are they really underneath those masks?

If you saw my discussion which was posted before the game was released then you would know that I gave light upon this:

i'd say none of us saw that discussion =P since as you said it was posted before the game was released, and odds are it's at the very very back of the forums and I don't like to Necropost. So if it's older than a few days, odds are I"m not going to go find it and read it and comment on it since it'd be buried under tons of other posts

Thanks for the link, that is super creepy
