Poppy Playtime - Chapter 4

Chills and thrills are a big part of horror games, and Poppy Playtime – Chapter 4 is taking things to the next level with this newest installment. Chapter four sees the main character, who previously worked at the factory, travel even deeper inside, searching for clues as to what happened there.

The latest chapter does not disappoint fans of the series, with a new villain being unveiled that may be the most terrifying yet.

Introducing the Doctor

If you’ve played previous installments of Poppy Playtime, you’ve likely heard the Doctor’s voice before. His voice can be heard on VHS and tape recordings hidden around the factory. It’s very clear from these tapes that the Doctor is not the nicest person.

In Chapter Four, it may be that we finally get to meet the Doctor, but how this plays out is still a mystery. The preview hints that the Doctor will not only make an appearance in the game, but he may be able to use the cameras.

This means the Doctor can see you at all times - an unsettling bit of knowledge in an already creepy game.

Other Dangerous Characters

The Doctor isn’t the only new character to appear in Chapter 4. A dark sheep can be seen in the trailer, as well as Yarnaby, a cute but highly dangerous toy prowling around the haunted Toy Factory.

Seth Belanger, co-founder and CCO of Mob Entertainment, promises that the lore will go deeper and the game will become even darker in this new chapter of the popular Poppy Playtime series.

Just like in past chapters, some characters will be friendly. Others will be deadly. It’s up to you to make smart decisions and survive the toy factory. If you liked the original Poppy Play Time and subsequent chapters, this one will likely thrill you even more.

Expect a More Dangerous Environment

Seth also mentioned that new characters and scarier story aren’t the only things you can expect from the latest chapter. The environment is also going to be scarier, with just exploring the toy factory enough to give you goosebumps.

The game paints a harsh ecosystem of toys evolving to consume other toys. Only the toughest, fiercest, and scariest toys survive.

This is part of what makes this world so dangerous, and oddly appealing, as we step into each heart-pounding chapter of the game.

Only Steam Release Announced

Poppy Playtime – Chapter 4 has only been promised as a Steam release so far. This is a bit different from past chapters, since Poppy Playtime, as well as chapter’s one and two, were released on Switch and X-Box as well.

While it’s possible releases for the 4th chapter will be announced later, right now Steam is the only choice for those who can’t wait to get their hands on the latest chapter.
