Poppy Playtime studio reveals its next survival horror game, and this time it's co-op
You've met the critters, now become one in Mob Entertainment's Escape From Playtime.
Mob Entertainment, the creators of the popular survival horror series Poppy Playtime, have announced an upcoming cooperative game titled Escape from Playtime. The game takes players back to the haunted toy factory that was featured in the original singleplayer game, but this time with a twist - players can bring their friends along for the ride.
In Escape from Playtime, you'll be playing as one of the Smiling Critters, the misfit toys encountered in the original game. Your objective is to scavenge materials for a mysterious building project that promises escape from the factory. However, you'll need to work together with your friends, follow instructions from an ominous voice, and evade the factory's dangerous inhabitants.
Players can solve puzzles, uncover clues, scavenge tools, and use hiding spots and alternate routes to navigate the factory. A key feature of the game is the proximity voice chat, which is both essential for communication but also risky as an irresponsible whisper could end the mission in a brutal way.
One of the most exciting aspects of Escape from Playtime is that the mysterious Voice seems to be altering the factory's layout with each run, creating procedurally generated environments that change and surprise players. While fans of the original series will recognize some familiar sights in the factory, the game promises a few surprises as well.
Escape from Playtime is set to come to early access on Steam soon.
