Saeir Alarie Clears Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 After Introducing New Moderators

FIRST STAGE PRODUCTION — Saeir Alarie of FIRST STAGE PRODUCTION EN finished Chapter 4 of the horror game Poppy Playtime in a stream that ran about six hours and 47 minutes. The run ended with a boss fight that took several attempts and a few glitches before it was over.

The stream began with news for the channel. Saeir announced that the channel now has moderators, asked viewers to be patient while the new mods and Saeir both get used to the arrangement, and said a third chat rule had been added against sharing personally identifiable information. Saeir then spent roughly an hour chatting before starting the game, covering fried fish for dinner, subtitles versus dubbed anime, and the games still on the schedule, including Resident Evil 2 and Crime Scene Cleaner. Saeir also said the group was already missing FS Fables, the event that had ended less than a day earlier.

“I really did like the story, so I enjoyed that.” — Saeir Alarie, after finishing Chapter 4

Chapter 4 took up the rest of the night. Saeir read the journal pages and watched the VHS tapes scattered through the prison setting, and spoke about the children’s fate in the story with evident sympathy. A long stealth section had Saeir powering terminals while a yarn creature hunted by sound, and the stretch ended with a checkpoint that Saeir said was badly needed. A gas mask finally came back late in the chapter. Saeir had guessed that the chapter might need two streams, but finished in one.

Afterward, Saeir said the story was the chapter’s strength, but named two letdowns: bugs and inconsistency, and the grab pack, a signature tool of the series, being used far less than in earlier chapters. Saeir repeated the channel’s request for no spoilers and no backseating and said Chapter 5 would be played next week. Chat answered with thanks and wishes for rest.

Saeir will be off for the next two days. The next stream is Crime Scene Cleaner on Thursday at 10 p.m. JST, and the schedule already accounts for daylight saving time ending on Sunday. A keyboard-building stream is planned in about two or three weeks.
