"Poppy Playtime" and "Five Nights at Freddy's" (FNAF) are both survival horror games, but they differ in terms of gameplay, setting, and story elements12.

Feature	Poppy Playtime	Five Nights at Freddy's
Gameplay	First-person perspective where players solve puzzles using a gadget called the GrabPack, which features extendable hands for pulling objects, conducting electricity, and more17. Chapter 3 introduces an upgraded GrabPack 2.0 with jet boosters and the ability to switch hands for different abilities1.	Point-and-click survival horror where the player, as a night security guard, must survive their shift by monitoring animatronic characters via security cameras and using limited power to operate doors and lights to prevent being attacked28. The core mechanic revolves around resource management and effective tool usage8.
Setting	An abandoned toy factory filled with monstrous, living toys1. The player explores different areas, including the factory's rear halls, Playtime founder Elliot Ludwig's office, and subterranean tunnels1.	A family pizza restaurant called Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, which is inspired by chains like Chuck E. Cheese8. The player is confined to an office and uses security cameras to track the animatronics' movements2.
Story	The player is a former employee returning to the factory after its staff disappeared1. They discover the mystery behind the living toys and seek to escape, while also finding VHS tapes that reveal more of the story1. Involves elements of body swapping and transplanting organs into robots3.	The player is a night security guard uncovering the dark secrets of the restaurant, including a past incident where five children were murdered28. The animatronics are possessed by ghosts8. Voicemails and newspaper clippings reveal disturbing events in the restaurant's history, such as "The Bite of '87" and the disappearance of children2.
Atmosphere	Features a unique atmosphere with a sense of nostalgia, and balances subtle and overt scares47.	Praised for its atmosphere and sound design, although some find the jump scares repetitive2.
Key Differences	"Poppy Playtime" places greater emphasis on puzzle-solving and exploration with tools like the GrabPack, offering a more hands-on approach1. The game also incorporates a narrative that unfolds through VHS tapes and the environment, focusing on the transformation of humans into toys13.	"Five Nights at Freddy's" focuses on strategic resource management and surveillance to survive against hostile animatronics28. The story is revealed through cryptic clues, voicemails, and newspaper clippings, emphasizing the restaurant's dark history and the ghostly possession of the animatronics28.
Inspiration	Evokes memories of Toys "R" Us3.	Draws inspiration from family pizza chains like Chuck E. Cheese and ShowBiz Pizza Place8.

One of the most notable differences lies in the antagonists. In "Poppy Playtime," the monstrous toys are central to the gameplay and story, with the player directly interacting with them using the GrabPack1. "Five Nights at Freddy's," relies more on jump scares and the fear of the unknown, as players try to avoid animatronics through strategic use of cameras and doors24.
