- Poppy Playtime fans can now enjoy the third installment of the game on mobile devices
- Chapter 3 launches today for iOS and sees you exploring a decrepit orphanage
- Atypical survival horror with a layer of paint or blood as a mascot
Fans of mascot horror will have plenty to enjoy today with the launch of Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 on iOS. This decidedly hostile neighborhood sees you explore a creepy toy factory, taking you beneath it and into a decrepit orphanage. You will have to dodge some very unpleasant toys in your quest to uncover horrifying mysteries.
Poppy Playtime sees you take on the role of an explorer in a long-abandoned toy factory, home to the Poppy Playtime toy. Using a strange backpack with hands and arms attached, you can navigate the environment using a variety of handy accessories (pun intended).
While very popular in its own right, Poppy Playtime seems to have been a turning point for many people in terms of the mascot horror genre, so called because it saw traditionally cute and harmless child characters turn evil. However, despite this, it still proved very popular.
It's time to play
Personally, in any case, I have never managed to create so much hype around Poppy Playtime. Although I will definitely say that, from what I've heard and seen, the idea of splitting relatively short segments into different “parts” seems a little iffy to me. But for people who like this kind of thing, this is the kind of thing they'll like, I'm sure.
But for the rest of us, there are other options too. For example, if you're looking for more scary options, even though Halloween is over, we still have our ranking of the 25 best iOS horror games for iPhone and iPad!
