Mob Entertainment has released the original soundtrack for Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5, titled Broken Things, now streaming across Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, and YouTube. The soundtrack features 35 tracks from the latest chapter of the studio's indie horror series. Alongside the soundtrack, a new music video for the exclusive track "Wrong Side Out," created and produced by gaming music artist CG5, offers a closer look at the chapter's central antagonist, The Prototype. Chapter 5 itself is available now on Steam and Epic Games Store, with console versions for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox launching later this year.
Playtime Co. was once a toy manufacturing giant. Then every person inside the factory vanished. The building still stands, its corridors lined with the cheerful branding of a company that no longer exists. This is where Poppy Playtime drops you: alone in an abandoned facility where the silence is the first thing that feels wrong and the toys are the second. The factory is built to unsettle through scale and emptiness, massive industrial spaces designed for hundreds of workers now occupied by nothing but dust and the faint sense that something is watching. The 35-track soundtrack for Chapter 5 gives some indication of how Mob Entertainment approaches that atmosphere, leaning into dread through audio that sits underneath the experience rather than announcing itself. CG5's "Wrong Side Out" takes a different approach, using storytelling lyrics to narrate the events of the chapter and the fractured psychology of The Prototype.
Your primary tool for navigating and surviving the factory is the GrabPack, a wearable backpack fitted with two artificial hands connected by steel wire. It functions as both your means of interacting with the environment and your lifeline. The hands grip heavy objects, reach across gaps, and conduct electricity through their steel wire to hack circuits and power dormant machinery. Puzzles revolve around these capabilities, asking you to manipulate the factory's systems while keeping aware of what else is moving through its halls. The toys of Playtime Co., from Huggy to Catbee to the doll Poppy herself, are not the friendly mascots their branding suggests. They are hostile, vengeful, and they will kill you if you're caught. Chapter 5 escalates this threat with The Prototype, a figure whose pursuit of Poppy and connection to the factory's experiments drives the narrative forward.

The story underneath Poppy Playtime has always been one of corporate horror: a company whose ambitions produced something it couldn't control, then collapsed under the weight of what it created. Each chapter peels back another layer of what happened inside Playtime Co., and Chapter 5 continues that thread through the lens of The Prototype and the experiments that went wrong. Poppy, the doll who gives the series its name, remains central to the mystery. CG5's music video for "Wrong Side Out" is positioned as a deeper look into The Prototype's mind, suggesting Chapter 5 spends more time with the antagonist's perspective than previous entries. The base game includes the first chapter, with further chapters available as DLC, building the full picture of the factory's history piece by piece.
Mob Entertainment built Poppy Playtime into one of the most visible indie horror franchises in recent years. Chapter 5's launch reached the number one spot on Steam's Global Top Sellers chart, holding that position for more than 24 hours. Day one sales broke previous chapter records by thousands, and the game simultaneously claimed the most watched spot on Twitch. On Steam, it currently holds a "Very Positive" rating across more than 2,800 player reviews.
The series has grown steadily in scope since its first chapter, and five chapters deep, the factory still has rooms left to open. Poppy Playtime is a horror puzzle adventure where the GrabPack keeps you reaching into dark spaces you'd rather leave alone, and the toys of Playtime Co. make sure you regret it when you do.
