Poppy Playtime Chapter 4: Doey the Doughman in Safe Haven

Poppy Playtime fans can finally dive deeper into the unsettling world of Playtime Co. with the launch of Chapter 4: Safe Haven today. Following a strong debut in 2021, the episodic first-person horror game has proven itself a cut above the usual jump-scare fare, with engaging voice acting, unique puzzle mechanics, and memorable character design.

In Safe Haven, players are taken into the deepest recesses of the Playtime factory—a grim, toy-filled sub-basement that the game ominously calls "where the devil never sleeps." As you navigate through piles of discarded toys, you'll encounter new threats, including a new character: Doey the Doughman. Bouncing and stretching like a Play-Doh creation, Doey comes with a catchy, yet chilling jingle that hints at something darker: "Fun until the day that you die!"

But the game isn’t just about new characters and puzzles. Poppy Playtime has been no stranger to controversy over the years. From dabbling in NFTs to accusations of plagiarism to the viral panic surrounding Huggy Wuggy, the game's massive popularity has been accompanied by backlash. The Huggy Wuggy controversy, in particular, sparked widespread concern over supposed violent content, despite no evidence of inappropriate material making it into child-centric platforms like YouTube Kids.

Despite the drama, Poppy Playtime continues to captivate players with its eerie atmosphere and thrilling gameplay. Check out the new Chapter 4 trailer to meet Doey and decide for yourself if he’s truly a "triple kind of friend," or a nightmarish toy come to life.
