    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.

    It sort of makes you wonder if they made phase 3 SO bad because they WANTED people to leave the game..like they realized how hard it was to manage a multiplayer game let alone manage one whilst creating a big title like Poppy Playtime, but instead of communicating with the fans the difficulty or hiring more staff to make a full team for Project Playtime (instead of splitting up the staff between the games leading to needing to take staff back from Project, there's be 2 full teams) they killed the game and abandoned it almost ashamed of it..no communication, just gutted it and left

      Your theory isn't entirely out of the question, but I do feel as if it's unlikely. I don't think the devs would spend that much effort for nothing. That's like buying a new toy, and upgrading it with all it's collectable accessories, just to throw it in the trash. I think it was just the higher ups taking the quickest solutions, and not thinking it through for what would be better long-term.

      it's not always as simple as just "hiring more staff", sometimes the money just isn't there, also hiring people for small studios can be harming to the creative process, instead of having 5-6 people all with a very focused view of how the game is meant to be from the very beginning of production, you get 10-15 people that have different views of what the game should focus on and it messes with the final product.

    As someone who was/is very into PJPT, heres a couple things id like to say:
    Phase 2 is the best update and the best state the game ever was, and the only objectively good thing Phase 3 did was making items purchaseable via tickets.
    Absolutely EVERYTHING else, the new hud, the new cinematic, the removal of the train ride intro, huggy pit, grab handles, etc. was an absolutely HORRIBLE change.
    The worst part is that the pjpt feedback channel in the discord got set to private. Its still in the server i think, but you cant see it, cant type in it, cant read it, nothing. Its so fucking sad what happened to this geniunely fun and unique game.
    Catnap as a monster also had so much potential as a playable character.
    Zach did say at one point, something along the lines of: "We have many many things planned for it" in the discord when talking about PJPT, but thats the most vague, corporate statement ever, so we shall see what he meant. I hope the game gets back to its prime one day...

    As a day one, (was, rusty now) relatively high ranked Boxy Boo main, friends w/ a few of the other top players & tourney people, 560ish hours (mostly played Phase 1&2), have this to say:
    There are several bugs that I have encountered in UE4, and I understand the logic of how to fix (as a complete amateur learning UE4 on my own). That being said, there's a few bugs that I won't say here, because they seem like they'd actually be really good features (if they were developed more) for higher level players.
    I think I was one of the first few people to spread the info about how to revert the game back to Phase 2 (shared January 29th in one of my friend group servers, but I vaguely remember sharing it other places before then too)
    I've also figured out how to bypass EAC (yes, even in Phase 3) and use UUU (Universal Unreal Unlocker) to increase my speed, size, spawn blueprints, etc. (aka cheat)
    Personally, I've tried about everything I possibly could to get in touch with the devs and try to fix the bugs that I understand (Roll Cancel, Run Lock, etc), but no matter what I did I couldn't get in touch with them. Even their email was completely dead (the one on their website).
    They haven't even so much as murmured anything about PJPT to my knowledge, so I don't think they really care enough to engage with their community or fix the game, possibly because it wasn't raking in the big bucks (not assuming, just giving my thoughts). I don't think I'd be opposed to still help, only if it meant they would listen to their community and the people that understand in the future.
    Glad you put this video up though, because maybe, just maybe, they'll do something with enough people looking. Maybe start a hashtag to gauge more attention? Like #SavePJPT or #SaveProjectPlaytime? I really do want to get good at this game again, and it really is a shame the devs have to be this way.

    I have a feeling that the game will receive content after Poppy Playtime(specifically the main game) is finished. It would be way easier and make more sense because even if there's no more Poppy Playtime chapters they can still update Project to let fans play as and against they're favourite characters. We know not just main antagonists are planned for the game because the devs have stated PJ Pug-a-pillar was in development. If we're lucky the game might get supported again earlier than we think as the dev team grows and they can afford it. There's no chance the game is abandoned forever.

The game might have stopped development, but there's actually a fan project being worked on called playtime plus and it seems like it'll have most good stuff added back from the main game and also promises to add some more much requested changes and features.

    Project playtime was a really fun game when inishially released although the monsters were extremely difficult to deal with when you re new to the game. However people from both the employee and monster side eventually started playing entirely reliant on using exploits to be better at the game, especially in phase 2, and in order to keep up you had to practise extra just to counter them and keep up or even use exploits as well. I stopped playing the game for this reason. I planned to come back to the game once these issues were fixed but seeing the state the game currently is its not really giving me any motivation to come back to it.

    0:37 sheep that's not true at all. They knew chapter 3's development would only take 10-12 months and the development of chapter 3 hadn't even started until may 2023 a whole entire year after chapter 2's release (bc of project) and 5 months after project's release. the fact that ch3 started development in may 2023, we know it only took 8 months of development just like chapter 2 and would have probably been like 2-4 months more if they didn't make project to make the concepts, vision they had for chapter 3 come to life like the toy store which was seemingly cut as they had already missed their release year deadline which bc of project to. So this reason you said here is really not true, they just decided to make project first instead of chapter 3 after ch2 came out thinking it would be a good way to keep people engaged while people wait for the chapters like you said, but imo it really wasn't a good decision as we ended up having to wait for chapter 3 for almost 2 years than what would have been just the usual 9-10 months or a year had they not decided to make project.

    Early Access has absolutely killed the need for studios to release finished, polished games. Now studios can publish unoptimized titles and slap that “Early Access” title and get away with the game being shit at launch. Then they promise to make the game better and some do, but most dont and games die before they’re really even finished

    in my opinion, the game is still fun to play. Normally when you only have like 2 teammates or your going solo in this game, It makes it more fun. You have to do everything on your own and as long you know the layout of the levels (there's not that many tbh) then you should be able to survive most games.

    The saddest thing; the second update was actually so good, and showed that the game had a lot of potential. It gave us our first look at the smiling friends for crying out loud. But then they ended the season and updated the game with a glitchy third phase that ruined the experience. It’s crazy to think that if they had just kept the game in the Incineration version, it would have been alright.

    (written before watching)As an active project playtime player. I can say that 90% of tryhards(if not 100%) hates the new update.There are many reasons towards that. Removal of lobbies(In phase 2 yo could play tryhard only and it was fun)Some players decided that playing phase 3 is not worth their time at all. Besides that devs didn't rlly communicate enough with community. They removed lobbies and said that private matches would be added ASAP but due to negativity from the community they didnt deliver private lobbies. Besides that the buggines of the game during launch still haunts devs to this day(If you know what I mean then you know if you don't then idc)(and the way matchmaking works make it so yo can still open lobbies on older versions(Great news for tryhards)). That one fact that yo could legally downgrade project playtime to phase 2 made some players (including myself) still play the game. I do not think we will get another update and honestly i just wait for Mob entertainment to announce the discontinuation of the game. Some changes in phase 3 were great but the most of them made players quit.

Then they did an update for Phase 2, that got rid of all of my upgrades and sabotages, reseting them. I spend so much time into them and they just reset it. I came back for Phase 3 to play with some friends only to realize they got rid of private lobbies, grab handles, huggy pit, hell you couldnt even invite your friends through steam.

    When it was released, I did not care about the bugs, or the flaws, or even the unbalance issues. I just loved the game, and believe it or not, it would not get boring for me even without friends. Phase 1 and 2 was definitely the best times for Project Playtime. Its content its skins, it was truly amazing. Despite all the hate towards dash handles, it was a fun mechanic to use. All the monsters were unique, fun, none of them were bad or too overpowered. It was perfect
    Until phase 3. Dark, lonely, sombre, dull, and any words similar to these. Its an extremely rushed phase, which is completely useless. Despite removing all the fun features, it added the very bad ones. To this day I still think that the speed boost is way less fun and fair that dash handles. And now, the game will hits its almost 1 year Anniversary of no updates.
