SPOILER WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Poppy Playtime Chapter 2.

Players have taken to the internet to declare that the ending to Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 has given them nightmares.

While the first game focused on Experiment-1006 (aka. Huggy Wuggy) as the primary threat, his presumed defeat led the second chapter to introduce a new primary antagonist in the form of a bright pink creature with four extremely long limbs made of elasticated plastic who goes by the name of Mommy Long Legs.
