Description (From Wikipedia) Poppy Playtime: Chapter 1 - A Tight Squeeze, commonly known as Chapter One or abbreviated as CH1, is the first chapter for Poppy Playtime. It was released on October 13 on Steam. It revolves around the unamed player, an ex-employee of the toy manufacturing business Playtime Co. whose employees when missing abruptly one day, and receives a letter from an anonymous sender stating that 'we're still here'. This incites the protagonist to go back to the abandoned factory and investigate it to find out what is happening. Playtime Co. is a toy-making company, and the location where the game takes place. It was likely established in the 1950s, considering the aesthetic and lack of deeply advanced technology. However, the factory likely made its demise some time past the 80s depending. In this game, you play as an ex-employee of a company labelled "Playtime Co." Playtime Co. was once a corporate giant company that was in the toy manufacturing industry - that was until everybody inside the factory went missing. Now, years later, you return to the factory to investigate these unknown missing cases. One of the main mascots of PlayTime Co, he was one of the best sellers and found a place in the hearts of many children across the globe due to the fact that he was programmed to hug people, or because he was found to be cute. Nobody really knows what made him so appealing. However, due to experimentation on the toys at Playtime Co., a Huggy Wuggy seems to have come to life and gone rogue, killing everyone that crosses its path. The Player is the main protagonist of Poppy's Playtime and is the person you currently play as during Chapter 1: A Tight Squeeze. There is not much to say about The Player since we never get an introduction to who they could be. However, there's a recurring theory that the live toys, such as the murderous HH, were actually human experiments. There's a theory that the player has ties to whoever was running the operation, or looked similar to them, which is why they were so ferociously attacked. This is not canon, and this may be disputed later on as more lore is revealed. Poppy Playtime is a minor character inside Chapter 1, and will most likely be an important character for the upcoming chapters. Poppy is a highly intelligent toy, she has the ability to properly converse with a child. She's also programmed to talk and communicate like a real little girl. Her first debut is in Chapter 1 and is featured inside the first VHS tape the player receives in the game, in which she appears in her own commercial tape. The Grab Pack was shown to have been used by factory workers to do heavy lifting and general tasks that would have been hard for the average man to do alone, or even in groups. Not to mention, that in the chase scene, the player used it to pull a huge box over an entrance to deter a murderous Huggy Wuggy, and instead destroys the entire mesh floor with the box and takes Huggy Wuggy down with it. This shows that it's incredibly powerful, managing to pull down a box like that with ease. In VHS 2, it's also shown that it can easily decapitate a person with relative ease. In VHS 2, because of this, it was strongly advised to use these with care for that very reason. Decapitating your coworker is not ideal. (Steam Page) You must stay alive in this horror/puzzle adventure. Try to survive the vengeful toys waiting for you in the abandoned toy factory. Use your GrabPack to hack electrical circuits or nab anything from afar. Explore the mysterious facility... and don't get caught.

The game has been a little controversial for accusations relating to NFTs, tracing renders, and of course being deemed as "money hungry" for selling tons of plushes on their website, amazon marketplace, and even making toys like Nightmare critters debatedly for the purpose of making money. Regardless, the games are still super high quality, and I still love talking about it and playing it!

Not gonna lie, I get why we might not be getting much information on this chapter beforehand. This one seems to be dripping with new lore and sharing too much before the games release is gonna dim the surprise for when the chapter's actually out.

Blue hand: I thought you were dead...
Red metal hand: My death was greatly exaggerated.

6:44 Seeing as Yarnaby behaves as a loyal pet to a Harley Sawyer, maybe this scene in the trailer of him opening his mouth about to attack was him protecting his owner. Seeing as we could be a threat Yarnaby will show up mainly when we are close to Sawyer and could be of danger to him. That would be cool for Yarnaby to only attack or show up when we are getting closer to Sawyer and he wants to stop us from doing so.

[bobbiejoringulet]

I guarantee the "theater incident" is how Harley Sawyer died

[ignaciosoler]

Man, why is MOB so secretive for this latest chapter? Is coming out in a couple of days, and they haven't completely told us anything of chapter 4 like, what's the 3 color square prison symbol mean, or the exact cause of the theater incident, or even this unknown unseen unname toy-like monster thing that only has a small hat. The rest of the chapters were revealed by seeing the trailers, but this only is really locked up tight.

[ThunderBZaper]

I feel like the VHS will either be a Nightmare Critters tape or the main villain. Since in the post on Twitter, it was confirmed and shown the Nightmare Critters had their own VHS tape show just like the Smiling Critters

[The-knight-from-arkham]

Sheep, maybe this new hand might be some sort o "Master key

[manuelgalla]

Something I still have doubts about in chapter 4.
1- Who is Doey The Dougtman and what role will he play? Will he be the main villain?
2- Will there be a chapter 5? Since this chapter is seen as a climax of the game.
3- How will we face Sawyer?
4- Who attacked Kissy?
5- Will they finally tell us who Poppy and the player are?
6- What functions will the new grabpack have?
7- Who will be the new allies?
Lastly, personally, perhaps the gameplay trailer will be released a week before the chapter and the VHS about 2 weeks before the release.

I'm hoping they show us an episode or cartoon of the Nightmare Critters, as we did see a VHS next to a photograph of their plush forms for the 12 Days of Playtime. If I see them in cartoon form, I'll die a happy man.

One thing I am excited for is for the new Grabpack hand..The lightblue and The new red blue Hand..We already have the flare shooting hand, purple hand..Green is destroyed when Catnap was burned..So we might receive the light blue hand to access to the caves first I guess

[Nonchalant_]

Bro I’m in the video!!! I told the biggest plot hole in the beginning where all the comments are showed off. Even though he didn’t actually go through my comment I’m still happy I’m in a sheeprampage video ❤ tho I do recommend sheep answering my question on what happened or if he knows anything about it or maybe the answer to my question will be in chapter 4

[EnzoSakr]

2:08 U can see a frozen design on the scanning hand, and the red hand has a blue part which seems to have a design similar to the frozen hand, so the new hand can freeze things and maybe monsters and it will also scan

[chandrasegaran]

After all these buildup in the arg and in teaser called The Doctor..If Harley isn't the main villain..I will be veryx3 disappointed..U just cannot or shouldn't nerf him just like that and show someone made of dough as the main villain compared to The Doctor who is like a Ghost trapped in the computers

[ErikJordan-ks]

Todays my bday, thanks for your awesome vids sheep! They’re rly helpful ❤

[AhsanAliX]

Believe me or not but the JESTER MONSTER in the ICEPICK ARG is the DOEY THE DOUGHMAN and he will be one of main villains of Chapter 4!

[Babyvalkyie]

I like how we haven't gotten a lot of info. Makes me feel like we're going to get a LOT of backstory. If Harvey sees us im almost sure that this is the chapter we find out who our character is.

[daranaqelforastero]

I'm glad someone's talking about the lack of a gameplay trailer, the story is looking really interesting but I wanna know how the gameplay will be.

[soldier_x_sk]

could you imagine if in the prison area, harley would just let out all the failed experiments (most of them being big critters) to chase us? that would be terrifying and cool at the same time

[RashmiK-pb]

In the recent trailer, around 0:27, I think I May have seen something in the shadows behind yarnaby, perhaps the weird blue hat character. Can somebody confirm that it is actually real or just a part of the video?

For me, the thing that split apart the Smiling and Nightmare critters were the theoretical conflict between Sawyer and The Experiment. The Smiling Critters, led by CatNap, following the Experiment while the Nightmare Critters followed Sawyer.
