Poppy Playtime is a scary survival horror game that started in 2021 with the first part, ‘A Tight Squeeze’. So far, four parts have been released, and this collection lets you quickly experience the first three, which will take about six hours to play through. The fourth part, ‘Safe Haven’, isn’t included, and the fifth is expected to come out in 2026.
A key part of succeeding in the game is planning your route. Whether you’re at Dam Battlegrounds or Buried City, deciding where to go first is more important than just grabbing the first loot you find.
Completing the ‘Our Presence Up There’ objective doesn’t require leaving the area, but since you’ll be near an extraction point, it’s a good idea to try and escape if you can. The Pattern House also usually has valuable loot, particularly during a Night Raid, so it’s worth grabbing what you can and returning to Speranza.
So, the creative director, Nick Herman, was talking about voice acting, and it really hit home for me. As a player of Dispatch, I already knew they had an amazing cast – people like Laura Bailey, Erin Yvette, and even popular streamers like MoistCr1TiKaL and Jacksepticeye who really bring it. But what Herman said about Jeffrey Wright’s performance as Chase was key: basically, no AI could have done what he did. He brought something totally unexpected to the role! He, and the whole cast, are elevating the game’s story in a way AI just can’t. It makes sense – AI can only remix what’s already out there, it can’t actually create something new and original like a real actor can.
Considering Atlus is known for games that thoughtfully examine complex themes like life, death, and personal growth, maybe the game’s uniqueness shouldn’t have been a shock. While titles like Persona and games like Catherine stay connected to reality, Metaphor truly breaks away from it. This is thanks to both the game’s strong writing and captivating story, but also to the incredible performances within it.

According to a Hollywood industry publication, David Reed, a writer from The Boys, is taking over as showrunner and will also be an executive producer, as part of an agreement with Sony Pictures Television. Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who previously worked on Deadpool and co-created Twisted Metal, are expected to return for the show’s third season.
So, on November 18th, I finally reacted to all the drama surrounding QTCinderella’s Streamer Awards. A lot of people were upset that some creators didn’t get nominated, and I wanted to share my thoughts on the whole thing.
