*Poppy Playtime Chapter 4* is a rollercoaster of emotions. While players might initially feel a sense of security at Safe Haven, this quickly shatters as the true nature of their situation unfolds. Despite defeating Yarnaby and the Doctor, the situation remains dire for our protagonists.

The Prototype, ever the cunning adversary, learns of Poppy's plan to use explosives and relocates them to obliterate Safe Haven. The ensuing chaos turns Doey against the player, leading to a confrontation that ends with his defeat. As the story progresses, players encounter Poppy and Kissy Missy in hiding, setting the stage for a major revelation.

The twist comes when it's revealed that Ollie, thought to be a trusted ally, is actually The Prototype in disguise. With the ability to mimic voices, The Prototype has been deceiving Poppy, manipulating her into believing he's Ollie. This deception is rooted in their past interactions; a VHS tape found during the chase with Doey shows Poppy lamenting after the "hour of joy," where The Prototype had promised an escape from the factory.

The Prototype's argument was that they were all monstrous creations unfit for the outside world. Despite her initial resistance, Poppy came to agree with him, leading her to plan the factory's destruction to prevent further human-to-toy transformations. However, The Prototype, always one step ahead, thwarts her plan using his guise as Ollie and threatens to imprison her again, causing Poppy to flee in fear.

As Poppy exits the scene, The Prototype triggers an explosion targeting the player's hiding spot. Kissy Missy attempts a rescue but is hindered by her injured arm, which eventually breaks off. Miraculously, the player survives and finds themselves in the laboratory, surrounded by a garden of poppy flowers used in the factory's experiments.

This laboratory is likely to be the final setting in the *Poppy Playtime* series. Poppy has previously mentioned that The Prototype hides here, holding orphaned children captive. The ultimate challenge will be to confront the final boss, rescue the children, and destroy the factory, though navigating the lab's security will be no easy feat.

Players will also face Huggy Wuggy, the same menacing toy from *Poppy Playtime Chapter 1*, now sporting bandages over old wounds but no less lethal. Despite his injuries, Huggy Wuggy remains a formidable threat, intent on attacking the player.

That's a comprehensive look at the ending of *Poppy Playtime Chapter 4*. As we approach the series' climax, the stakes are higher than ever, with the final battle and escape looming on the horizon.
