Our take on The Adventures of Poppe
Rather than focusing only on platforming and combat, the game makes finding objects and figuring out how to use them a central part of exploration. Poppe’s tiny scale also turns ordinary insects into threats, shifting the stakes of encounters.
What is The Adventures of Poppe?
This 2D platform adventure follows Poppe, a tiny person traveling through a vast world.
He visits varied areas, gathers objects such as a fastener, an access key, a miniature motor, and small wire snippers, then determines how each item can be used.
