deactivate the antivirus and re-verify the integrity of the game files, with that I was able to play

Currently I am receiving multiple notifications from various virus protection software that Chapter 3 contains a Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml which allows commands from an attacker. I have never gotten a false positive from steam before. Has anyone else had issues with this?

Affected items:
file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Poppy Playtime\PoppyPlaytime_Chapter3\Playtime_Chapter3\Binaries\Win64\Playtime_Chapter3-Win64-Shipping.exe

Yes, it's a false flag from anti-virus software and the file is being quarantined. Make an exception in your anti-virus software and enjoy. I have run the file through several reputable sites that verify the hash of the alleged suspect file and all have returned 0 similarities to any virus, specifically the Trojan horse it's being detected as. I created a post in a different thread of the same topic discussing the issue in greater detail so I won't repeat it here.

Bottom line NEVER BELIEVE SOME RANDOM INTERNET PERSON and do your own research on checking the hash value of a file against that of known viruses and make a judgement call.

Yes, I've seen your comments, first of all, thank you for stopping by to help those of us who are having problems. I followed in your footsteps but he still won't let me play even with the exception. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, I just hope I don't see many more spoilers until mob fixes it... I'll keep trying your method, thank you so much again
