The story is set directly after the gripping events of Poppy Playtime Chapter 2, where players have managed to discover a new zone inside a haunted toy factory, interact with new characters, discover numerous audio recordings, remotely view other zones via CCTV cameras, defeat monsters (Huggy Wuggy, Kissy Missy, Poppy, and others) solve new types of puzzles and unveil secrets of this unforgiving world.



In addition to the main story, the game developers have also seeded the gameworld with numerous easter eggs that fans of this franchise will be able to discover and recognize, enhancing their connection to this enjoyable survival horror franchise.

User Interface

The user interface is fully transferred from the previous releases, featuring truly minimal on-screen elements that promote better immersion into the spooky environments, and limited on-screen HUD elements during puzzle sequences.



In the majority of situations, players will be aware of their current gameplay abilities by the hand form that is visible on the screen (rope launcher, electric charger, gun…).

The game is optimized for both keyboard and gamepad control sets, with built-in support for key rebinding.
