There's something even scarier than Huggy Wuggy in the Playtime toy factory this weekend

Poppy Playtime’s multiplayer prequel, Escape from Playtime, is now in open beta on Steam, running until Sunday. Players take on the role of small stuffed toys navigating the factory’s dark corridors to collect supplies and advance through shifts. The game is designed for cooperative play, emphasizing teamwork to survive encounters with increasingly dangerous toys. The beta serves as a playtest for developer feedback before the full release.

The beta introduces Miss Delight, a towering antagonist who stalks players with high-heeled clicks and insta-kills on contact. Unlike Huggy Wuggy, Miss Delight can be temporarily stopped by shining a flashlight in her face, though her motionless, staring presence heightens tension. Other threats include toy robots that explode on contact and a Cat Bee that poisons players until removed by teammates.

Escape from Playtime supports up to eight players, with groups of four recommended for optimal gameplay. The beta includes experimental features, balance tests, and locked content, aiming to refine the final build. Players can provide feedback via a survey after their session, directly influencing development.

The open beta concludes at 6 pm PT on Sunday, October 4. The game is available on Steam, where participants can experience the factory’s horrors firsthand. The developer has emphasized the beta’s purpose as a feedback-driven playtest rather than a polished experience.
