KILL IT

the dialogue makes me wanna kms sometimes but everything else about this game is nearly perfect

one hell of a ride!!! a basic completion is only a good 5 hours or so, but if you want to get 101%, you're really gonna have to work for it. and during a 101% completion run, you truly begin to see how much love and care went into designing every element of this game

I've always been a man of few emotions. Ever since I was a kid, I was never extremely happy, nor sad. I felt mild emotions sometimes, but I was usually perfectly neutral and apathetic. I was an outcast. I was bullied. When I was in middle school, things only got worse. People started dating, people started hating. I never partook in any of that, because I didn't feel the need. I didn't feel strongly enough to love or hate anyone. I was gray. I was nothing .

Then, in my sophomore year of high school, as I was scrolling through Steam to find games to fill the endless void inside, I found Poppy Playtime . The moment I saw Huggy Wuggy staring at me with his huge, toothy smile, and his black, shiny eyes, something awakened inside of me for the first time. I felt something. Strongly. I still don't know what I felt, though. Was it intrigue? Fun? Curiosity? Love? I quickly rushed to steal my mom's credit card from her purse. I didn't care if I got in trouble. I needed this game. I locked the door behind me, sweat pouring down my forehead, my heart beating from adrenaline as my mom pounded on the door behind me. She was too late. I bought the game for $4.99 and immediately booted it up.

The title theme blared through my headphones at max volume. It hurt, oh, God, it hurt. But I enjoyed it. Tears streamed down my face from the pain as the theme song continued to play, but I smiled through it all. After I clicked play, I was greeted by a short cutscene of a commercial for the titular Poppy Playtime toy. The commercial was enthralling, even hinting at there being some sinister force behind the Poppy toy's almost sentient ability to communicate with children. Brilliant! I was then finally thrown into the game. I pushed the [W] key to move forward. My heart was throbbing. I finally realized what this strong feeling truly was.

It was LOVE. Pure, unfiltered LOVE.

Every minute spent playing the game was better than the last. My love increased at every footstep I made towards completing the game. When I saw Huggy Wuggy, standing in front of me on his display, I couldn't help but to give him a good ol' high-five with my Grab-Pack. Oh, my God. The tingle I felt throughout my body was exquisite. I high-fived him again. Again. Again. Again! AGAIN! AGAIN!!! The feeling never went away. But I couldn't high-five him forever. I had to finish the game. The chase sequence with Huggy was the second time I felt true fear, the first being from when I stole my mother's credit card from her purse to purchase the game. However, at the end of the chase sequence, I found it difficult to drop the crate and destroy the bridge. It felt like killing a friend. Sure, he tried to kill me, but There was some unspoken bond between the two of us that I can't describe with words. I still tear up at the thought of killing him, but I had to finish the game.

By the time I finished the game, my mother finally found the key and unlocked my door. I looked at her, tears streaming down my face. We stared at each other for a good minute or so, until I finally uttered the following words:

spunch bop

2.2 super epic!

Gotta say, this is a pretty good game. Pretty sad too.
