*Poppy Playtime Chapter 4* has left players with more questions than answers, unraveling a complex web of deceit and ambition. If you're struggling to make sense of the ending, let's break down this intricate plot.
What Does the Ending of Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 Mean?
In *Poppy Playtime Chapter 4*, the journey through Safe Haven takes a dramatic turn. Despite initial feelings of security, players soon learn they've been deceived. After defeating Yarnaby and the Doctor, the situation deteriorates rapidly. The Prototype, aware of Poppy's plan to use explosives, relocates them to destroy Safe Haven instead. The ensuing disaster triggers Doey to become aggressive towards the player. Once you defeat Doey, you encounter Poppy and Kissy Missy in hiding.
The narrative takes a shocking twist here: Ollie, believed to be a trusted ally, is revealed to be The Prototype. With the ability to change his voice and mimic others, The Prototype has been manipulating Poppy by posing as Ollie. Although Poppy portrays The Prototype as the villain, their past interactions reveal a more complex relationship. A VHS tape found during the chase with Doey shows Poppy lamenting after the hour of joy, having been convinced by The Prototype that they would escape the factory together. However, The Prototype later claimed they were all trapped because they had been turned into monsters, which humans would never accept. This led Poppy to plan the factory's destruction to stop further transformations, a plan that The Prototype, as Ollie, thwarts. He even threatens Poppy with confinement, prompting her to flee in fear.
