Five Nights At Poppy is a popular mascot-style horror game in which the player is trapped in a gloomy environment. You have five nights to survive while avoiding a scary character named "Poppy" who is scaring or stalking you. Instead of fighting for survival, you need to be agile and alert.
Each level in Five Nights At Poppy is your private experience. Doors, cameras, lights, and hiding places are your limited arsenal. You must stay undetected as Poppy and other spooky characters roam the area.
Once night falls, your goal is to hide until dawn (or time runs out). Visual terror can strike at any time, lighting is poor, and audio clues are either nonexistent or distorted. Poppy becomes more aggressive, hiding places are fewer, and audio/visual lag increases on the harder nights you achieve by surviving the previous nights. As the game progresses, the tension builds.
