The Chapter 4 Gameplay Trailer: Doey the Doughman is the gameplay trailer for Poppy Playtime's fourth chapter: "Safe Haven". It is exclusively seen on Mob Entertainment's YouTube channel and Steam page.
Analysis[]
The trailer starts off with the theme of the new character’s commercial. It eventually fades into screams and a siren blaring. Dough starts dripping down from the ceiling, before cutting to a black screen where Poppy Playtime tells The Player that this is “unlike anything you’ve seen above. It’s hell.”
It cuts to a shot of a prison area, likely the one teased in The Doctor cinematic trailer. It then cuts to a scene, likely also in the prison area, where a door closes as Poppy states that Playtime wanted it to be hell as the doors close completely.
Harley Sawyer, using a TV, curiously asks “What’s this?” referring to The Player before they then fall backwards. It then cuts to the trash pile area seen in the Chapter 4 Teaser Trailer, with the new character talking about how Harley, nicknamed “the Doctor“ works directly with the Prototype and controls this part of the factory. As he says “Hunting us,” a shot of The Player trapped in a cage as Yarnaby passes by pops up, before cutting to a shot of a wall painting with the words “SAFE HAVEN” written above a picture of hands protecting colorful little experiments such as DogDay, Bobby BearHug, Hoppy Hopscotch, KickinChicken, CraftyCorn, Bron and Bunzo Bunny.
Harley then states that there are no places to hide, not from him; a new shot shows The Player in a power room of sorts while Yarnaby appears again hunting them while they walk in a crouched position so as not to attract his attention. It also reveals that there are multiple bodies for Harley. A mystery character (The Prototype) says that he has “something special in mind.” This plays over a shot of Poppy and Kissy Missy. This shot also reveals that a belt has been situated around her waist, similar to DogDay.
Poppy states: “I need to make this right,” as Harley waves at The Player before they fall down either the stairs or down a trapdoor. It then cuts to a shot of The Player shining a light on one of Harley’s bodies. It then cuts to a shot of the Nightmare Critters and Mini Huggies attacking The Player as they fend them off using the Orange Hand.
It cuts to a tattered and cluttered room presumably full of skeletons, before then switching to a shot where a door opens behind a desk as Harley says “Let’s make a game of you.” Another shot of the Nightmare Critters, this time in a more cinematic angle appears, before quickly cutting to Kissy banging on a door with The Player behind them, as Poppy begs whoever’s in that room to hurry and let them in, revealing that Kissy Missy is most definitely alive. This shot also reveals that Kissy’s head is severely injured and also shows off the belt once again, most likely due to her getting attacked at the end of Chapter 3.
Pianosaurus then runs towards the camera before Ollie yells “He’s outside!” The new character states that they have "failed you", before a Baba Chops plush jumps towards The Player. As Yarnaby charges toward the camera, his true mouth now revealed, a voice, possibly Poppy due to how similar the voice is to hers, yells “You lied to me!” The next shot shows a hallways filled with active monitors, turning on with the eye of Harley Sawyer appearing as the door at the end of the room opens.
The trailer then cuts to a continuation of the first scene with the alarm still going in the background, dough dripping more and more down the ceiling, eventually cascading down, forming a new character. This new character, who places a hat on his head, is revealed to be Doey the Doughman, as he greets the Player as “Pal,” before asking them to follow him.
The trailer then cuts to black as the Chapter 4 title card - said card glitching in and out as it is slowly formed by dough - appears on screen, with the words “Safe Haven” appearing below it as the entire logo becomes gray. The trailer then ends after showing the chapter's release date: January 30th, 2025.
