Poppy Playtime is a horror puzzle game developed and published by indie developer MOB Games. The game is set in an abandoned toy factory, and players must solve puzzles and avoid the vengeful plush toys that inhabit the factory. The game has generated a lot of excitement in the gaming community and delivers on its promise of a scary and suspenseful experience.
Gameplay
Poppy Playtime is a first-person horror game that tasks players with exploring an abandoned toy factory and solving puzzles. The game is heavily reliant on its puzzles, which are often solved by using the Grabpack, a tool that allows players to grab objects from a distance.
The puzzles are often simple but present a worthy challenge. The game also has some frightening moments: the most popular toy in the factory, Huggy Waggy, actively pursues players and tries to catch them.
If caught, Haggy Waggy will eat the player, causing the game to end. The game is fairly short, taking two to three hours to complete, but there are a number of collectibles that add value to the game for repeat play.

Controls

Replayability
Poppy Playtime has decent replay value. The main story of the game is fairly short, but there are a number of collectibles to find in the game that adds to the experience. These collectibles include VHS tapes that tell the game's story, notes containing backstory, and plush toys hidden in various places. Finding all these collectibles makes the game worth replaying.
