WHAT WE SAY: Treat with caution. 🔞Exposure to Inappropriate Content While Poppy Playtime does not contain inappropriate content, its horror elements can be disturbing to younger children. The game features eerie environments, sudden jump scares, and aggressive toy monsters that might be too intense for kids. 💸 In-Game Purchases The game is sold in chapters, meaning players must purchase additional content to continue the story.
