Poppy Playtime Chapter 4: Unraveling the Twisted Ending and the Lab's Secrets
Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 provides answers, yet simultaneously generates more questions. This explanation delves into the complex web of grudges and ambitions that define the game's conclusion.
The chapter's narrative is a rollercoaster. Despite initial safety at Safe Haven, the illusion quickly shatters. Even after defeating Yarnaby and the Doctor, the situation remains precarious. The Prototype learns of Poppy's explosive plan and redirects them to destroy Safe Haven, causing Doey's destructive rampage. After subduing Doey, the player encounters the hiding Poppy and Kissy Missy.
A major revelation unfolds: Ollie, the seemingly trustworthy ally, is revealed to be The Prototype. This manipulative villain possesses the ability to alter his voice and impersonate others, successfully deceiving Poppy.
A VHS tape discovered during the Doey chase sequence reveals a previously unseen interaction. Poppy is shown crying after a moment of happiness, having been convinced by The Prototype (disguised as Ollie) that they could escape the factory. This promise, however, remains unfulfilled.
The Prototype asserts their inescapable fate as monstrous creations, unacceptable to humanity. Despite her hatred for the factory, Poppy eventually accepts this reality, leading to her decision to destroy the factory to prevent further transformations into toys.
However, The Prototype anticipates Poppy's plan. Using his guise as Ollie, he thwarts her efforts and threatens to confine her again. The reason for this hostage situation remains unclear, but the threat forces Poppy's escape.

Exploring the Mysterious Laboratory
Following Poppy's departure, The Prototype attacks the player's hiding place. Despite Kissy Missy's attempt to capture the player, her injured arm fails, leaving the player to discover a poppy flower garden within the laboratory—the site of the factory's experiments.
This area is strongly suggested to be the final location in the Poppy Playtime series. Poppy previously identified it as The Prototype's hideout, where orphaned children are held captive. The player will likely confront the final boss, rescue the children, and ultimately destroy the factory. However, navigating the lab's security systems and facing a potentially vengeful Huggy Wuggy (possibly the same one from Chapter 1, given his injuries) will present significant challenges.
This summarizes the ending of Poppy Playtime Chapter 4, bringing the player closer to the climactic confrontation with the final boss and the potential escape from the factory.
