Escape From Playtime Open Beta Runs October 2 To October 5
Mob Entertainment opened the open beta for Escape From Playtime on October 2 at 2:00 JST, with the test running until October 5 at 10:00 JST. The co-op survival horror game is set in the Poppy Playtime universe, and players control the Smiling Critters, the plush characters introduced in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 3, inside the abandoned Playtime Co. toy factory. The beta builds a shifting factory layout with failed experiments as enemies. Teams collect scrap, carry it back to the cart Barry, and meet a quota to escape. The store page lists 1 to 4 players, but the beta allows up to 8, and the most balanced count is stated as 4. Registration runs through FirstLook, and linking a Steam account and a Discord account is required. The playable content is limited to the first four shifts, with much of the story-focused material held back for release.
