*Poppy Playtime Chapter 4* takes players on a rollercoaster of hope and betrayal. Initially, the Safe Haven seems like a sanctuary, but that illusion quickly shatters. After defeating Yarnaby and the Doctor, our heroes face a harsh reality: The Prototype has outsmarted them by moving Poppy's explosives, leading to the destruction of Safe Haven and turning Doey hostile. As players navigate through the chaos, they encounter Poppy and Kissy Missy in hiding, revealing a major plot twist.

Ollie, who was believed to be a trusted ally, is unmasked as The Prototype himself. With the ability to mimic voices, The Prototype deceived Poppy, manipulating her trust. A VHS tape found during the chase with Doey reveals that Poppy and The Prototype had a past encounter. After the hour of joy, The Prototype convinced Poppy that they could escape the factory together. However, he later claimed they were trapped as monsters, unable to coexist with humans. This realization led Poppy to plan the factory's destruction to stop further monstrous transformations.

Despite Poppy's efforts, The Prototype, always one step ahead, thwarts her plan using his connection as Ollie. He even threatens Poppy with confinement, causing her to flee in terror. The exact reason behind The Prototype's desire to keep Poppy hostage remains unclear, adding to the suspense.
