Tall Poppy

Поппи - длинный, но не чулок! Пранкует полтергейст местных прихожан, Смеётся громко: для него это весёлая потеха! Какой же глупый! Какой же он болван! Это же хоррор, тут должно быть не до смеха! ОБЗОР СОДЕРЖИТ СПОЙЛЕРЫ! ЧИТАЙТЕ НА СВОЙ СТРАХ И РИСК!!! Как только я увидел название игры, то подумал, что повествование будет происходить вокруг высокой девушки Поппи. Я никогда так не ошибался… https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2793299752 Игра начинается на парковке около церкви с уже появившимся заданием «Найти сумочку жены на кладбище». Ничего необычного, да? Только действие происходит ночью и тогда, когда даже охранника, который бы эту сумочку нашёл, нет. Напоминает сказку про мужчину, которого добрая жена попросила сбегать на огород к ведьме и принести щавель. Так вот, оказывается, что в этой церкви рядом с кладбищем, куда наш главный герой приехал, обитает высокий призрак Поппи, терроризирующий местных и приходящих своими выходками. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2793299463 Для нашего главного героя эти выходки иногда безобидные, а временами и смертельные. Почему? А не знаю! В какие-то моменты Поппи просто нас пранкует, а временами прерывает жизненный век. Проект получился хоррором, несомненно, но с примесью черного юмора и отсутствия света как такового. Если фонарик выключить, то игры уже не будет, ибо без него ничего не видно. Хотя Луна вроде светит и всё должно быть более-менее освещено. Если кратко про игру: приехали, сумку нашли, уехали и всё. Если кратко про сюжет: церковь, местный призрак-пранкер. Будет ли главный герой рассказывать об этом приключении своей жене? Неизвестно, это уже другая история.

Tall Poppy was absolutely not what I expected... and I mean that in the best way possible. Going into it, I was expecting a fairly standard indie horror game. It's labeled as horror, so I figured I'd get the usual creepy atmosphere, tense moments, and a handful of jumpscares. Well... I was half right. There are definitely plenty of jumpscares throughout the game, but they're unlike anything I've ever experienced in a horror game before. Instead of trying to be relentlessly terrifying, the game leans into the ridiculous. The ghost literally farts. It jumps out and just yells, "Boo!" Half the time I didn't know whether I was supposed to scream or laugh. Honestly... I usually did both. That's what makes Tall Poppy so much fun. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and because of that, every scare feels completely unpredictable. One moment you're cautiously creeping through the environment, and the next you're getting jumpscared by something so absurd that you can't help but laugh after your heart rate comes back down. I wouldn't necessarily call this a traditional horror game. If you're looking for deep psychological horror or an intense, terrifying experience, this probably isn't going to scratch that itch. But if you're looking for a game that's packed with ridiculous scares, unexpected laughs, and a genuinely entertaining time, Tall Poppy absolutely delivers. It's one of those games that's perfect to play with friends or on stream because everyone ends up laughing just as much as they're screaming. Overall, Tall Poppy is simply a good time. It manages to be funny, goofy, and surprisingly effective at catching you off guard all at once. Sometimes horror doesn't have to be serious to be entertaining, and Tall Poppy proves exactly that.

An Unforgettable Ride of Hilarious Comedy and Heart‑Pounding Jumpscares Tall Poppy is one of those rare games that manages to blend laugh‑out‑loud comedy with genuinely effective jumpscares and horror moments in a way that feels fresh, clever, and utterly entertaining. Whether you’re in it for the laughs, the scares, or both, this experience delivers from start to finish. What makes Tall Poppy so remarkable is how it plays with your expectations. One moment you’re cracking up at the sharp, witty writing and absurd situations; the next, you’re yanked out of your seat by a perfectly‑timed scare that catches you off guard — and it’s done with such style that it actually feels earned. The game understands rhythm, pacing, and how to manipulate both comedy and tension to create a rollercoaster experience that’s constantly surprising. The cast is expressive and hilarious, delivering dialogue with impeccable timing that amplifies the humour — and when that humour abruptly gives way to a horrifying twist, it lands hard. Animation, sound design, and character interactions all support this blend beautifully, making every room feel alive (and sometimes suspiciously creepy). Mechanically, the game unfolds with fun exploration and environmental interaction, but it’s the emotional swing between comedy and horror that really makes it shine. You’ll laugh one moment and then genuinely jump the next, which keeps you fully engaged and always guessing what tone the next scene will take. Whether you’re playing with friends or solo, Tall Poppy thrives on contrast — hilarious absurdity grounded with moments that genuinely make your heart jump. Verdict: A brilliantly funny and wonderfully chilling experience that never stops surprising. 10 / 10 — Highly Recommended
