*Poppy Playtime Chapter 4* delivers an emotional rollercoaster filled with unexpected twists and betrayals. Just when players think they've found safety at Safe Haven, the rug is pulled out from under them. Despite overcoming Yarnaby and the Doctor, our heroes are far from being in the clear.

The Prototype becomes aware of Poppy’s plan involving explosives and relocates them, using them to destroy Safe Haven. This devastation triggers Doey’s breakdown, turning him hostile toward the player. After defeating Doey, you finally come face-to-face with Kissy Missy and Poppy, who have been hiding all along.

Here comes the major plot twist: Ollie, the character we’ve trusted throughout the game, is actually The Prototype in disguise. Beyond his unsettling appearance, The Prototype possesses the eerie ability to mimic voices and alter his tone to impersonate others. He manipulates Poppy into believing he is Ollie, maintaining his deception until the final moments.

Although Poppy consistently portrays The Prototype as the ultimate villain, their history runs deeper than previously thought. During the intense chase with Doey in *Poppy Playtime Chapter 4*, players can collect another VHS tape. This tape reveals Poppy sobbing alone after the Hour of Joy incident, hinting that The Prototype had once convinced her they would escape the factory together—only for that hope to vanish entirely.

The Prototype insists that none of them can ever leave the factory. Having been transformed into toys, they no longer belong in the human world. Eventually, Poppy accepts this grim reality and aligns herself with The Prototype. However, this acceptance leads her to formulate a new plan: blowing up the factory to stop more people from suffering the same fate.

Unfortunately for Poppy, The Prototype is always one step ahead. He uncovers her plan and uses his disguised connection with her as Ollie to thwart it. He even threatens to lock her away in a case again—a chilling reminder of her past. Although his motives for keeping Poppy captive remain unclear, the threat is enough to send her fleeing in fear.

What’s the Deal With the Laboratory in Poppy Playtime Chapter 4?

With Poppy gone, The Prototype makes his move and destroys the player's hideout. Though Kissy Missy tries to pursue, her already injured arm snaps off mid-chase. Fortunately, the player survives and ends up inside the lab—an area likely to be the final location in the *Poppy Playtime* series.

Inside the lab, players discover a garden of poppy flowers, which were used by scientists for their twisted experiments. This may be the last region of the game, where The Prototype is hiding and keeping the orphaned children. It sets the stage for a climactic final battle, where players must defeat the boss and rescue the children before destroying the factory for good. However, getting through the lab won’t be easy, as it’s heavily secured.

Players will also encounter Huggy Wuggy once again, now more aggressive than ever. This appears to be the same Huggy Wuggy from *Poppy Playtime Chapter 1*, evidenced by his visible injuries—someone even took the time to bandage them. But don't expect mercy; he’s still determined to tear the player apart.

That covers everything you need to know about the ending of *Poppy Playtime Chapter 4*. We're inching closer to the ultimate showdown, where players must confront the final boss and escape the horrors of the factory once and for all.
