What conspiracies are we cooking on the menu today?
- The blank models of mannequins are definitely previous ENAs.
- The trailer for Dream BBQ even shows another ENA with a completely different color scheme, the only thing in common being the suspenders. Perhaps those are a denomination thing to show people that who they're talking to is an ENA?
- Adding to this, while the Shephard bonks ENA with her stick, ENA's texture changes into multiple random images. While it was probably just done for the humour, when hit hard enough, electronics tend to visibly glitch out. In hindsight, it's rather amazing that she's able to survive being dipped into what is supposedly water (the Holy Code, but since it is just code it might not even count as actual water), meaning that she might be a waterproof machine.
- Adding on to this, in order to relate more to and understand ENA, Moony wished to become like her: a humanoid.
ENA is aware of her looping life and the main reason for it (the Great Runas) but doesn't remember perfectly the circumstances of her death or even how the place is like. Her blue side is suicidal to the degree of begging others to put her out of her misery and showing eerie serenity at the possibility of something killing her is because she's tired of her life looping and, especially, her Heroic BSoD is because she subconsciously knew she'd never make it to the Great Runas before dying ("I CAN'T GO ON! I WON'T ACHIEVE ANYTHING!").
Thankfully, in her latest resurrection, she managed to find a way to get there.
As noted above, ENA tends to visibly glitch out when struck on impact. If her skin or outer-shell was a screen then it would explain a lot. It would explain how her skin constantly changes colours and even visibly glitches out. ENA's screen reacts to her emotions, and the other effects may be holograms. This also explains as to why she has visible pixels on her.
- And fitting with the first ENA's happy and sad sides being an overly-jolly optimist and a Hysterical Woman, maybe this ENA's angry/calm sides are a easily set-off Large Ham and a Erudite Stoner-type persona (though probably with much less drugs)
First of all, Joel G warned in his video that there would be some disturbing topics in the upcoming game. This is typical for most people to leave disclaimers in front of their stuff to warn people about what could have potentially upset them, but this is Joel G we're talking about.
What I'm referring to is an earlier animation he did, titled Deadline. In said animation, mannequin humanoids live in a post apocalyptic world where they are powerless to resist a certain time of their schedule when everyone except for the protagonist transforms into a violent, irrational monster and begins to fight each other to the death. During the video there is on camera self harm, suicide, assault, a dismembered corpse, and an entire train of passengers is implied to have died.
What's more, this video had NO WARNING. All of that and no content warning. So what's in Dream BBQ will inevitably be worse than what was shown in Deadline. One might argue that Joel G was doing this because his audience had grown in size and he wanted to be more specific with his warnings, but if he wanted to go for the surprise creepy approach he could have just left the ominous woman's head at the end and people would have been warned that the game contained some scares. So if things in there are so bad that it warrants a warning from him, one can only imagine what kind of horrors are in the game...
Also, there are already quite a few instances which point to ENA's universe being quite hostile. In Auction Day, the fact that rocks falling from the sky and crushing people is seen as normal. In Extinction Party, there is an external threat so bad they built a guardian entity to guard the place and armed it with some kind of weapon to make it capable of shooting someone. Later, ENA is warned by Merci and Robert that the place is dangerous and there could be something terrible that could happen should she choose to stay. It's possible that ENA's gift was a video game life for Mooney. In Temptation Stariway, the mannequins are seen falling from the sky and possibly dying, they are seen pounding the ground possibly in despair, and in piles they are everywhere like corpses. And let's not forget the dead ENAs in the void and the complete lack of safety regulations that prevents people from being trapped with the great Runas for potential centuries.
My guess as to what the main threat would be in the game would be that it's a cosmic horror story and everything is a simulation. The floating head at the end of the Dream BBQ trailer is by far the most human looking character we've seen in ENA and I can't shake the feeling it means something, probably that she came from another world where everything is less surreal. Namely, one more like ours. She is likely a guard to prevent people from escaping a place, since she seemed more condescending and plotting than aggressive in the trailer.
- Given some of the imagery in the latest trailer, I think you might be onto something.

There's a heavy Eastern theme in the newest ENA games and I would like to explain a couple of things about stage masks in Eastern culture. In some places, the colour red represents valor, loyalty, bravery and passion while lighter colors represent coldness and cruelty. Light colors are (more notably white) is typically reserved for the villains while red is for heroes.
Also the two sides of her are different in expression. ENA's red side eye looks playful and her paler eye looks sarcastic and fed up, even angry. Her red side's hand is soft like a mitten, while her paler hand literally has claws.
Also according to some of the comments on her wiki article on Joel G's Patreon, they saw ENA's pale side being mad. In the trailer for Dream BBQ, ENA's pale side was the one yelling when she was using the megaphone, and the eye on her red side was frowning.
- Half-Confirmed so far; in the voice reveal video, the new ENA's personalities are called "Salesperson" and "Meanie". Meanie fits the cruel guess perfectly, while for now it's a bit difficult to tell if Salesperson completely fits kind (in the quote used for the reveal, at least, she sounds friendly).
- Courage/Fear
- Fascination/Disgust
- Logic/Spontaneity
- Sincerity/Sarcasm
- Helpfulness/Selfishness
- Amusement/Boredom
- Emotionally Neurotic Anthropoid
- Emotional 'N' Anthropomorphic
- Excitement/Elation 'N' Anxiety
- Emotional New Anthropomorph
- The retro game feel
- The presence of "holy code"
- The Great Runas's name (Runas: "run as," as in "run as administrator?")
