Official description
ESCAPE FROM PLAYTIME : A Smiling Critters Adventure is a co-op survival horror experience set in the Poppy Playtime universe. Explore the dark depths of an abandoned toy factory and fight to stay alive against the creatures that lurk in the shadows. Each run places you into a unique section of the facility: classrooms, warehouses, testing labs, and the dark corridors connecting them all. The denizens of the factory - fellow rejected Playtime Co. creations - stalk the decaying halls, hunting for prey. You and your friends must work together and utilize your surroundings if you hope to make it out of the factory in one piece. Play with up to 7 friends (2-8 players) in a fight for survival inside Playtime Co. More Critters means more ground covered and more chances for something to go horribly wrong, all enabled with proximity voice chat. A mysterious Voice sends players into the facility to collect scattered parts and resources. Gather what you need, bring it back safely, and try not to ask too loudly who or what you are really working for. Use whatever the factory gives you to stay alive. Search for tools, uncover clues, find hiding spots, create distractions, and use alternate routes to outmaneuver the rejected Playtime Co. creations stalking the halls. Crawl, jump, and climb through every nook and cranny of the Playtime Co. factory as a Smiling Critter and experience some of the most iconic Poppy Playtime locations through a new (smaller) set of eyes. It’s Playtime Co. as you know it, with a twist. The mysterious Voice seems to be altering the factory’s layout, creating procedurally generated environments that change with each run. Track your progress and examine your hard earned rewards through the Perm-A-Lounge computer to uncover further terrifying company secrets. Early Access — Launches with the full eight-character roster, one starter zone, and a core enemy lineup. New zones, enemies, and features coming based on your feedback.
