Mob Entertainment has released Escape from Playtime in early access on PC via Steam today, October 22. The co-op survival horror game supports up to four players as the Smiling Critters, first seen in Poppy Playtime Chapter 3, exploring the abandoned Playtime Co. factory. Early access includes eight characters, one starter area, and multiple main enemies. The early access period is planned to last one year.
The Steam page lists four players, but the open beta test in early October ran up to eight. Early access ships with eight characters, one starter area, and several main enemies. Players use proximity voice chat to coordinate while fleeing wandering failed experiments and hauling materials demanded by a mysterious voice. The full version is planned to add story elements alongside balance adjustments, bug fixes, and performance improvements.
