Make your way through an abandoned factory
Poppy Playtime Chapter 1 is a horror adventure game where you will have to explore an abandoned toy factory and uncover the secrets that lie within. This indie title is the first of multiple chapters in the Poppy Playtime series from EnchantedMob Inc.
Poppy Playtime Chapter 1 is often compared to the critically acclaimed Five Nights at Freddy’s, which features similar themes of inanimate objects coming to life to keep you from reaching your objective. Since this is only the first chapter, there isn’t much progression in the plot just yet as it only introduces you to the story.
A terrifying toy adventure
In this first installment of the Poppy Playtime series, you will be introduced to the GrabPack which will be a helpful tool in navigating the factory. You will use this extendable tool to hold onto various objects, swing from area to area, and press buttons out of your reach. The lifelike physics used in the game will make using the GrabPack even more enjoyable.
Poppy Playtime Chapter 1 uses high-quality graphics that fully immerse you in the story and its open world. The high-resolution visuals also add to the ambiance of the game and make the jump scares even more terrifying. You’ll also find that the controls are pretty easy to pick up, even for new players who may not be familiar with games like this one.
One thing to note is that due to the high resolution of the graphics, it’s more prone to freezing. Depending on your device’s capabilities, you’ll find that if you have a higher frame rate, your character will lag. It also requires at least 1.4 GB of free space in order to download it, and while it’s not as large compared to similar games, it’s still quite sizable.
Immersive horror experience
Fans of the horror genre are definitely in for a treat with Poppy Playtime Chapter 1. With stunning visuals and a unique in-game tool, this introductory chapter shows a peak of what you can expect in the succeeding installments. However, there are issues such as the game freezing and lagging as well as the large storage requirements that can still be worked on.
