In *Poppy Playtime Chapter 4*, the narrative takes players on an emotional rollercoaster. Initially, the safety of Safe Haven provides a false sense of security. However, this illusion shatters when it's revealed that we've been deceived. Even after overcoming Yarnaby and the Doctor, our heroes face more challenges.

The Prototype, aware of Poppy's plan to use explosives, relocates them, leading to the destruction of Safe Haven. This triggers Doey's aggressive behavior towards the player. After defeating him, the player encounters Kissy Missy and Poppy in hiding, which leads to a significant plot twist: Ollie, believed to be an ally, is actually The Prototype in disguise. With his ability to mimic voices, The Prototype manipulated Poppy into thinking he was Ollie.

Despite Poppy's portrayal of The Prototype as the antagonist, they have a history. A VHS tape found during the chase with Doey shows Poppy's past interaction with The Prototype. He had promised they would leave the factory together, but this never happened. The Prototype convinced Poppy that they were too monstrous to be accepted by humans and should remain in the factory. Although Poppy agreed initially, she later decided to destroy the factory to stop more people from being turned into toys.

However, The Prototype, always one step ahead, thwarts Poppy's plan and threatens her with imprisonment, causing her to flee in fear. The reasons behind The Prototype's desire to keep Poppy captive remain unclear, but the threat is potent enough to drive her away.

With Poppy's departure, The Prototype destroys the player's hiding spot. Although Kissy Missy tries to intervene, her injured arm fails her, leading to our entry into the laboratory. This area, filled with poppy flowers used in the factory's experiments, is likely the final region in the *Poppy Playtime* series.

Poppy previously mentioned that The Prototype is hiding here and holding orphaned children. To reach the climax, players must navigate through the lab's security, defeat the final boss, and rescue the children before destroying the factory.

Another challenge awaits in the form of Huggy Wuggy, who, despite his injuries from *Poppy Playtime Chapter 1*, remains a deadly threat. Even with bandages, he's determined to attack the player.

That's the essence of the ending in *Poppy Playtime Chapter 4*. As we approach the series' climax, the stakes are higher than ever, with the ultimate goal of defeating the final boss and escaping this nightmarish world.
