Main Story

This horror puzzle game places you in the dark, atmospheric environment of an abandoned toy factor known as Playtime Company. All the employees disappeared a few years back. No one has figured out why or how, but that's your task now. You are here to figure out what happened while also surviving the factory's horrors.

You'll have to search endlessly through the factory to find clues and answers. Be sure to look everywhere. You don't know when you'll find an essential item or clue that helps you discover the truth.

As you can expect with any toy factory, there are lots of toys here that you can find. The major difference is that these toys are alive. Some are here to help and be your friend, but there are others looking to do you harm. It's up to you to figure out which is which to ensure you stay alive.

Gameplay Mechanics

Poppy Playtime gives you a GrabPack. This is what drives most gameplay mechanics. The GrabPack has two artificial hands connected to the sides. These hands are incredibly strong and are able to move many objects around the factory. Not only that, but they have unlimited range. You can push boxes inches from your face or across from the room. The hands are also flexible, and this comes into play with several puzzles.

As an abandoned factory, the lights are dim and there are many machines that are powered down. You can turn them on by using the GrabPack. The hands have a steel wire that is able to conduct electricity. This wire has its limits, which you'll have to discover to make the most of the power. Many puzzles revolve around these limitations.

Mastering the GrabPack will be essential to you finishing the game.

New Chapters

Like many other modern immersive horror games, Poppy Playtime only has a single chapter right now. The developers have promised to release new chapters, but this will take time and there is no guarantee these chapters will come out. The first chapter gives you a beautiful environment and many people have loved the puzzles, but the chapter itself is fairly short.

Supporting this game now will improve the chances of chapters coming out in the future, but some players might be annoyed that the current game is so short.

Lots of Help

Most players like to solve puzzles on their own because it gives you that sense of accomplishment. Despite being short at the moment, Poppy Playtime has a good number of puzzles that can be difficult for some players to solve.

The good news is that there is lots of help if you need it. There are several guides that you can check out if needed. This ensures that you can solve harder puzzles without getting stuck.
