Poppy Playtime Chapter 4: Safe Haven

Poppy Playtime Chapter 4, subtitled Safe Haven, is a horror puzzle game by Mob Entertainment and the fourth chapter of the series. You play a former employee who goes deeper into the abandoned Playtime Co. toy factory, far below anything the earlier chapters showed, solving puzzles and getting away from new monsters on the way.

The prison and the Safe Haven

The chapter opens with Poppy leaving you at the bottom of a lift while she goes back up for Kissy. You end up in an underground prison, where a computer program called the Doctor spots you and sends Yarnaby, a lion-like monster loyal to him, after you. Help comes from Doey the Doughman, a clay-like ally of Poppy, who guides you to the Safe Haven, a converted security room where several harmless toys are sheltering.

The Doctor and the Omni-Hand

Much of the chapter is about the Doctor, who turns out to be Dr. Harley Sawyer, the Playtime Co. scientist who created the company’s monsters. Doey sends you after his Omni-Hand, a key that controls everything in the factory except the Safe Haven, because it is needed to repair the Safe Haven’s failing generator. Once the Doctor’s systems are overloaded, his chip turns one of your hands into the Omni-Hand, which opens high-security doors around the factory up to four times.

The GrabPack

As in the earlier chapters, your main tool is the GrabPack, a backpack with two extendable hands that pull objects from a distance, carry electricity and open certain doors. Chapter 3 already upgraded it to the GrabPack 2.0, with longer wires and jet boosters for safe falls, and you still carry a gas mask for areas filled with Red Smoke.

Release

Mob Entertainment announced the chapter on its YouTube channel with a release date of 30 January 2025, and it came out on Steam that day. Like every chapter of Poppy Playtime after the first, it is paid downloadable content, and the free base game has to be installed first. Reviews were generally positive, with praise for the suspense, puzzles and story and complaints about bugs.

Controls

Chapter 4 is a single-player game for Windows. You play it in first person and use the GrabPack hands for most puzzles, from pulling objects toward you at a distance to carrying electricity to the places that need it.
