TW: SPOILERS FOR THE NEW WELCOME HOME UPDATE!!
Hey guys!...so about that update. Specifically, the hidden "ringring" Wally audio.
Okay, so there's this secret audio you can find on the Welcome Home website by pressing Wally's button on the Telephone Toy (you can find that on the Discoveries page under Toys). I dunno if anyone has found this, but if you click on the audio, it lifts up and reveals a transcript for the audio. I'll copy and paste it here now:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WALLY: (Loud, boisterous and joyous. His laughter is normal and then gets loud and out of control.) You found me! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!
(An electronic noise plays, then cuts off along with static. Voice is slow and halted, with varied inflection.)
Hello, You.
It has been a long while…
It was Homewarming. Now it is not. The snow melts. The grass grows. The sun shines. The flowers bloom.
Home is here. Do you remember Home.
Can you hear him.
(PAUSE. The heartbeat slowly rises. HOME makes sounds.)
I can hear Home.
I want to hear you too.
Talk.
(LONG PAUSE. Firmly said, almost aggressive.) I know you are here.
Talk.
Talk.
(PAUSE. Voice returns closer to previous delivery, still slow and halted.) …That is alright. I will speak for all of us. I am happy to.
You are here now, but for a long while, you were not.
And I… Could not feel anything… I could not find this place.
The channel was dark. I do not know what happened.
When I found You again everything was not where I left it.
But… I do not understand.
(PAUSE. Softly, but progressively angrier.) I know what words are. I saw words. I followed them. I followed them!
(Demanding and stern.) You.
Are you in the dark.
Are we in trouble.
(PAUSE. Sounding worried.) Trouble… Trouble… But I have to continue… So that you… So that we… So that I can…
…I do not know what to call what we are doing, neighbor.
But everything has a name, doesn’t it.
…Do you remember mine.
(PAUSE. Wally sounds warmer and joyful.) You do, don’t you. What a relief.
(Said thoughtfully.) Everything has a name.
(PAUSE. Jovial.) But what trouble! What trouble!
(LONG PAUSE. A little anguished and frustrated.) I do not know what to do… But keep talking to you… You are waiting for me. You want to know why I keep…
(Cold, but thoughtful.) Talking…
(Warmer again.) Have you heard of ‘lend an ear,’ before. When your neighbor says this… They do not mean to borrow your ear. They mean to listen.
Do you know how to lend an ear. Barnaby said… First you cup a hand around your ear… And then you wait for a sound. That is how you lend an ear.
Home cannot speak like I can. But I know Home speaks to me… The door opens and shuts. The window groans and creaks. So I lend an ear to him.
…So why do I speak to you.
It is because… You will lend me an ear.
I do not know why. Maybe the gifts make you happy. Maybe you like Welcome Home. Maybe you like our neighbors. Maybe you like me.
Maybe you scratch my back… I scratch yours… Barnaby says that too…
I know we are not in the same room. It is another silly bunch of words.
After all… I can not get in. (Assertive sounding, like a promise.) But do not worry. I am getting better.
(Returns to his monotonous disposition.) But for now… To pass our time…
Will you lend me more than an ear, neighbor.
Will you find the name for me. For what we are doing. For what we see.
(WALLY’s tone warms up.) I’m going to say… Yes. (Returns to his monotonous disposition.) But to avoid trouble… Let us talk another way, just like Home. Isn’t that the most?
I know how we will talk. We will play.
Do you know how to play. I have learned from my neighbors how, but the way each plays is not the same.
Do not worry. I will teach you how to play, just like all of them. Each and every one.
Would you like to know something funny. We can’t hear the flowers, even when you lend an ear. Not like Julie can.
Julie says they still have something to say, though. I have heard from her… A rose without thorns… But still has leaves… Is filled with fear… And with hope. When both are not there, however… There may be neither hope nor fear.
Isn’t that something.
So… Let’s play a game called… Gather.
What do you do?
Gather good words from the flowers. Do not worry, we will not pick them. They are happy where they are. Julie has given us so many, so I know you will find them.
This will be fun! I feel joyful already!
…I can not do much as I am now. But, I will practice.
Remember… Until you hear me again, keep your smile merry, and always know that I love you, very much.
(PAUSE. HOME makes sounds.)
Home is saying good bye… Oh, no, I forgot to do that too.
Good bye, You!

So yeah um. That was. Something. I know some people have written what was heard, but I thought the official transcript might be important (clarified tones/actions and all). So yeah, hope this helps!
