Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 is a horror adventure game where players will explore an abandoned toy factory and use a backpack called "GrabPack" to solve puzzles. This backpack has a magic hand that can be used to grab distant objects, help players solve various problems, and advance game progress.
Gameplay
Exploration and puzzle solving: Players need to use "GrabPack" to explore the ruins of the factory, discover the truth behind the disappearance of employees, and ultimately escape. The factory is filled with various mechanisms, and players must solve these puzzles to move forward.
Use "GrabPack": Launch a magic hand by clicking a button on the screen, and once the magic hand touches a controllable object, it will fix the object. Players can move while maintaining a fixed state, but can only move within the length range of the magic hand's cable. If the object is light (such as cardboard or footstool), it can be pulled and moved at the same time.
Electricity usage: If one magic hand comes into contact with a power source, it can transfer electricity to the other hand. By utilizing this, the machines within the factory can be activated, which is the key to solving the puzzle.
Game characteristic
Continuation Features: Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 is a direct sequel to Chapter 1, where players will face a new enemy - the pink doll "Mommy Long Legs" with extendable limbs. This new enemy is not only frightening, but its actions are also disgusting.
Difficulty Enhancement: The game is designed for players who have already completed the first chapter, so the puzzle difficulty is high from the beginning, providing players with enough challenge.
Storyline: The game inherits the story background and worldview of Chapter 1. If you are not familiar with the previous installment, you may feel confused about many elements in the game. Therefore, it is recommended to experience the first chapter first.
Game advantage
Cross platform gameplay: The game is available in both PC and mobile versions, with the first chapter of the PC version being free and the second chapter priced slightly above 1000 yen. Although the mobile version is about half the price of the PC version, if purchased together with the two chapters, the price difference is not significant. The mobile version is suitable for players who want to play easily anytime.
Improved horror elements: Compared to the more direct source of fear HuggyWucky in Chapter 1, the design of Mommy Long Legs is more complex, not only adding a sense of horror, but also bringing a nauseating feeling. In addition, the setting where the protagonist loses the left hand of the "GrabPack" at the beginning of the game also adds a layer of unease to the game.
