Chapters[]

Chapter 1 – A Tight Squeeze[]

In 2005, an unnamed protagonist, who is a former employee of a toy-production company named Playtime Co., receives a package containing a note and a VHS tape advertising the company's Poppy Playtime doll and tours of their toy factory before abruptly cutting to spliced-in footage of graffiti of a poppy and a letter from the missing staff, requesting them to "find the flower". After watching the tape, the Employee complies and returns to the toy factory to do so.

Arriving at the now-abandoned factory, the Employee acquires a one-handed GrabPack to access the lobby. There, they encounter Huggy Wuggy, a seemingly giant statue toy on display in the room's center. While trying to unlock another door, the power goes out. Though the Employee restores it, they find that the Huggy statue has disappeared. Upon obtaining a second hand for their GrabPack, they use a conveyor belt to reach the factory's "Make-a-Friend" section, where they manufacture a toy to progress further. Suddenly, a monstrous Huggy appears and chases them into the vents before they send him falling to his death to the bottom of the factory. Soon enough, the employee finds the graffiti, which leads to a room containing a Poppy Playtime doll inside a glass case. Upon unlocking the case, Poppy acknowledges them before the employee passes out.

Chapter 2 – Fly in a Web[]

Upon awakening, the employee finds Poppy gone and explores the factory's rear halls before eventually locating Playtime founder Elliot Ludwig's office. There, they re-encounter Poppy, who thanks them for freeing her and offers to help them escape by providing the activation code for the factory's train. However, she is grabbed and pulled deeper into the factory. As they approach the Game Station and the train, they encounter a giant spider-like monster called Mommy Long Legs, who steals a hand from their GrabPack, reveals she is holding Poppy hostage, and challenges the employee to win three games in the Game Station in exchange for the train's code, threatening to kill them if they break the rules. After locating and crafting a new hand for their GrabPack, the protagonist proceeds through the Game Station.

They successfully complete the first two games, obtain two-thirds of the train code, and briefly encounter a friendly version of Huggy called Kissy Missy before they are forced to escape into subterranean tunnels during the third game upon realizing that Mommy intentionally rigged the third game by blocking the ending with debris to ensure the protagonist's demise. An enraged Mommy accuses them of cheating and pursues them back into the factory until they trap her in an industrial grinder and activate it, killing her. A needle-fingered hand, later revealed to belong to an experiment called the "Prototype", subsequently collects her body. The employee rescues Poppy, obtains the third part of the train code, and nearly escapes. However, Poppy diverts the train, refusing to let them leave as she requires their help. Before she can explain further, the train runs out of control, derails near a sign pointing to "Playcare", and knocks the Employee unconscious.

Chapter 3 – Deep Sleep[]

Following the train derailment, the employee reawakens as a giant cat-like monster called CatNap throws them into a trash compactor, but they escape and head to Playtime's on-site orphanage, Playcare. Along the way, they find a toy phone and receive advice from a voice referring to himself as "Ollie", who warns them that CatNap, Playcare's guardian and a recalled member of Playtime's "Smiling Critters" line, will try and kill them. On Ollie's instructions, the employee attempts to reroute power from Playcare's many facilities to power the Gas Production Zone and divert a hallucinogenic gas called the "Red Smoke", which CatNap can produce.

All throughout, they obtain the GrabPack 2.0, re-encounter Kissy, and reunite with Poppy, who explains she needs their help to kill the Prototype and end his control over the factory. After killing a hostile teacher named Miss Delight, the employee eventually encounters the last Smiling Critter, DogDay, who warns them that CatNap worships the Prototype like a god and mutilated him for defying it before he is killed and possessed by several Mini Smiling Critters, who mount a failed attempt at killing the employee. Following an attack by CatNap, the employee experiences a hallucination wherein Poppy asks about their knowledge of Playtime experimenting on children and turning them into the monsters they have encountered. The employee eventually boss-battles CatNap and wins by electrocuting and burning him. Immediately afterwards, the Prototype's hand appears. CatNap allows the Prototype to kill him and drag his body away. After successfully redirecting the Red Smoke, Poppy reveals to the Employee footage of the "Hour of Joy", wherein the Prototype ordered Playtime's monsters to kill the employees indiscriminately ten years prior. Reiterating their mission to kill the Prototype, Poppy leads the Employee onto a lift to make their descent towards the Prototype's lair, intending to send it back up for Kissy. On the way down however, Poppy hears something attack Kissy and frantically attempts to send the lift back up, but the hatch closes on her and the employee.

Reception[]

The first reviews on Steam have been positive. Chapter one was rated by players as interesting and intense. The GrabPack mechanic and the final chase through the ducts were appreciated. The game is still in development and reviews may change.

  • On December 2, 2021, many people were mad that EnchantedMOB and ZAMination released NFTs for the game to prepare for Chapter 2. The dates of every toy's creation (except Cat-Bee) were seen as well. The Tweet & promotional video were deleted, however the community post on Enchanted Mob's Youtube Channel is still up. However, the NFTs themselves weren't. Andy Gill revealed that due to the backlash, they wanted to take down the NFTs, but they couldn't thanks to a contract.
  • Chapter 2 will come out same day as the mobile port.
  • On April 28, 2022, it was announced that MOB Entertainment is working with Studio71 to make a Poppy Playtime movie.
