Poppy Playtime – Chapter 3 is the third major installment of the popular horror‑puzzle adventure series developed by Mob Entertainment. Released on January 30, 2024, it continues the eerie story of exploration, survival, and unsettling secrets within the abandoned Playtime Co. universe. In this chapter, players venture into Playcare, a massive and haunting orphanage hidden beneath the toy factory, where nightmares lurk and unsettling horrors await.
Unlike Chapters 1 and 2, Chapter 3 expands the gameplay significantly with new mechanics and environments. You’ll need to solve increasingly complex puzzles while avoiding grotesque enemies that are far more than simple toys. The iconic GrabPack returns with upgrades, and you’ll use creative hands and tools like a gas mask to survive areas filled with poisonous red smoke. Stories unfold through environmental details, audio logs, and cryptic encounters rather than heavy exposition, keeping the focus on tension and discovery.
Note that on PC platforms the game currently lists Windows requirements; native Mac support isn’t officially listed on Steam as of now, so running it on Mac may require compatibility layers or virtual machines. For verified Mac compatibility, check the official store or platform listings.
