*Poppy Playtime Chapter 4* is a rollercoaster of emotions. Players may feel a temporary sense of safety at Safe Haven, but this illusion is quickly shattered as we learn we've been deceived. Despite overcoming Yarnaby and the Doctor, our heroes find themselves in dire straits.

The Prototype, aware of Poppy's plan to use explosives, relocates them to obliterate Safe Haven. This catastrophe causes Doey to turn hostile towards the player. After defeating him, you'll encounter Kissy Missy and Poppy, who are in hiding. Here, the plot takes a dramatic turn: Ollie, believed to be a trusted ally, is revealed to be The Prototype. Not only does he look menacing, but he can also alter his voice to impersonate others, deceiving Poppy into believing he is Ollie.

Though Poppy consistently portrays The Prototype as the villain, they have a history. During the chase scene with Doey, you can find a VHS tape showing Poppy in distress after the "hour of joy." The Prototype had promised they would escape the factory together, but this never happened. He convinced Poppy that they were all monstrous and could never leave, as humans would never accept them. Despite her hatred for the factory, Poppy eventually agreed with The Prototype's views, leading her to plan its destruction to prevent more people from becoming toys.

However, The Prototype always seems to be one step ahead. Using his guise as Ollie, he thwarts Poppy's plan and threatens to lock her in a case again. The reason behind his desire to keep Poppy captive remains unclear, but the threat is enough to send Poppy fleeing in fear.

With Poppy's departure, The Prototype decides to destroy the player's refuge. Although Kissy Missy tries to save us, her injured arm breaks off, and we find ourselves in the laboratory. This area is filled with poppy flowers, which were used in the factory's experiments.

This lab is likely the final setting in the *Poppy Playtime* series. Poppy previously mentioned that this is where The Prototype hides and keeps the orphaned children. The ultimate challenge will be to confront the final boss, rescue the children, and then destroy the factory. However, navigating the lab's security will be a formidable task.

Players will also face Huggy Wuggy, the same menacing toy from *Poppy Playtime Chapter 1*, now sporting bandages over his wounds. Despite his injuries, Huggy Wuggy remains a lethal threat, intent on attacking the player.

That's a comprehensive overview of the ending of *Poppy Playtime Chapter 4*. As we approach the series' climax, the stakes are higher than ever, with the final battle looming before we can escape this nightmare.
