I'm not suppose to be doing this since it is the job of a game developer to come up with this stuff. But seeing as this 'war' is going on long enough to the point where people are misunderstanding the actual issue of WHY the Dolls are being looked at negatively... I'm just gonna pass along an idea my sister got, while she and I were discussing in regard of the entire issue.

If you're wanting to do some horror, instead of doing passive defense, let's go with active defense. And I knock on wood hoping this doesn't raise anymore hell. Though now that I look at it, its similar to that of FNAF 3 and Five Nights at Candy's 2 but with lights instead of sounds and you get a toy weapon.

This IF you're still going to do a sit and survive style. Otherwise, you can probably still use elements from this and see where you can go from there with whatever gameing style mechanic you go with.

------------------
So here's the idea. Get rid of the doors. You don't need the things, instead you're giving the player a weapon of sorts. It's a Toy Factory, there's going to be toy like weapons around. But we're not using guns, instead, let's go with a slingshot.

Use a slingshot with ammo in the office as a means of defense. Removing doors means dolls can lurk at the entry and provide a chance for the player to fire on them and knock them away. Doing so can make other dolls more aggressive. Limited ammo forces a player to do their best to keep dolls away from the office as much as possible to avoid confrontation.

Lights that can be used as a lure for dolls can be placed away from the office as a power drain, but can risk burning out the bulb. (In other words, you lose that bulb for that room for the rest of the night, so be careful.) The player can decide whether to use it in bursts or leave it on and hope for the best. You use the camera system to toggle the lights on and off for rooms and try to keep them away from the office.

This way you have a mix of active and passive defense against the dolls. The lights can make the doll AI calmer but uses up power and can burn out. The slingshot can make doll AI hostile, but relies on ammunition rather than power and can be used alongside the light as well as send the doll running to another position before it can resume its path.

Think you can work with that?

Word for word more or less. Again, its just an idea my sister had and wanted me to pass along.

Whether you wish to use it all or just some of it, is up to you. Mix and match, twist it around, whatever. At least its something different and new.

Again, I'm skeptical and I hope this isn't going to be a routine thing for you guys to be using the community for ideas.

The biggest hint I can give is; you're in a Toy Factory... need I say more?
