In *Poppy Playtime Chapter 4*, the rollercoaster of events leads players from a sense of security at Safe Haven to a shocking revelation. Despite initial successes against Yarnaby and the Doctor, the plot thickens when The Prototype, aware of Poppy’s plan to use explosives, relocates them, causing a catastrophic explosion that destroys Safe Haven. This chaos triggers Doey's aggression towards the player, leading to a confrontation and eventual encounter with Kissy Missy and Poppy in hiding.

The chapter's major plot twist unveils that Ollie, believed to be a trusted ally, is actually The Prototype in disguise. This revelation showcases The Prototype's ability to manipulate voices and deceive, having tricked Poppy into believing he was Ollie. A flashback via a VHS tape during the chase with Doey reveals Poppy's past interaction with The Prototype. After the hour of joy, Poppy was convinced by The Prototype to leave the factory, a promise that was never fulfilled. The Prototype argued that they were monsters, unfit for the outside world, leading Poppy to plan the factory's destruction to prevent further transformations.

However, The Prototype, always one step ahead, uses his guise as Ollie to thwart Poppy's plan and threatens her with imprisonment, causing her to flee in fear. This manipulation raises questions about The Prototype's motives for keeping Poppy captive, adding another layer of intrigue to the narrative.
