Poppy Playtime (2021 Video Game)
For a small indie game made by a small team, This was actually impressive!
4 November 2021
This game has A LOT of potential, Even though the first chapter felt more like a demo more than anything and was only like 20 minutes long, This game is really promising!

First of all, The environment looks fantastic, The old abandoned factory setting (while yes, it has been done before a lot) is really cool, The puzzles with the packbag hands thingy were really unique cool too, Really wish more horror games had more of these type of gimmicks, and the animations were fantastic, Especially the chase sequence near the end, Oh my god, My heart was racing like crazy, It was SO GOOD, Huggy Wuggy's movements and animations combined with the sound design were absolutely terrifying!

And you could tell that the people behind this game REALLY knew what they were doing, with all the lore, history and tapes they wrote for this game and the amazing cutscene in the beginning, You could Clearly tell that a lot of care and love went into the making of this game.

I just hope this game doesn't go the FNaF route.. Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with having some inspiration from another big indie horror title, But I just hope this game will be It's own thing, and not just another game made for YouTubers so they can make like 300 videos theorizing about the characters and lore so kids could watch them and give them millions of views, You know what am I talking if you have been on YouTube long enough..

So yeah to summarize it for you, This game was a pleasant experience, Not gonna lie, It's kinda hard to judge the game right now with only one chapter out, and I'm kinda curious to see what will they do in the future, Will Huggy be the main antagonist of the game? Will the backpack still be the main game mechanic or will we get a new tool every chapter to solve puzzles with?.. I don't know really, But either way I will be checking out what else this game has to offer in the next chapters, but until then I'm pretty satisfied with my rating.

7/10.
