Similar to many familiar motifs often seen in horror movies and games, Mr. Hopp's Playhouse tells the story of a girl named Ruby, who owns a strange toy given to her by her late grandmother. The story wouldn't be worth mentioning if the toy wasn't an inanimate object, lying there in a corner of the room, but suddenly disappeared after a restless night of Ruby's uneasy sleep.

Your mission is to help Ruby survive and evade Mr. Hopp - the cursed toy in this harrowing hide-and-seek game full of unavoidable dangers that the little girl herself never wanted. While the first game in the series features a terrifying solo home story, in Mr. Hopp's Playhouse 2, you will travel back in time to 1957 to uncover the origins of Mr. Hopp and the story behind it.
The Mr. Hopp's Playhouse series is definitely worth exploring. The game is currently released completely free, available on Steam for PC and on Google Play, the App Store for iOS, and Android.
Guide to Renting PS4 - Gaming Equipment Rental
The PS4 gaming console is one of the high-tech entertainment devices that everyone wants to own. But because of the high cost involved in buying a gaming console, there is now a demand for renting PS4 so that users can experience this technology at an incredibly affordable price before making a purchase decision. One of the reasons for the increasing demand for renting PS4 is also partly due to the complex pandemic situation. Due to social distancing measures, people cannot go to gaming stores for entertainment, so they choose to rent a PS4 console to entertain themselves at home with family and friends.

The rental process at stores is quite straightforward. You just need to bring your ID card or citizenship ID for the store owner to take a photo of, then deposit from 3 to 5 million VND to bring home a PS4 with all the accessories: two controllers, original game discs, and an HDMI cable. Many store owners also provide home delivery services within urban areas to meet customers' needs.
