About the Game

Naptime's over!

With rumbling stomachs and no snacks in sight, explore a deserted daycare overrun by vengeful toys. From the nap room to the basement storage, navigate through the eerie corridors and relentless toy onslaught in your quest for snacks.

Features:

  • Crawling Babies: Play as one of four toddlers crawling around the daycare. Careful standing up though, as walking around can result in tripping.
  • Tantrum-based Health System: As the players take damage, they inch closer to totally flipping out. Don't throw a tantrum for too long, or the attendant will take notice.
  • Toy-filled Chaos: Battle through waves of mischievous toy enemies, ranging from pint-sized troublemakers to formidable toy bosses.
  • Uncanny labyrinth: From the Daycare's nap room, traverse the halls and delve into the eerie cellar in search of snacks.

Characters:

  • Dillian: The French-Korean baby, self-appointed leader of the snack brigade
  • Joah-Joah: The buff baby, muscle of the group
  • Phoebe: The toy expert, hungriest of them all
  • Travis: The lookout, aware of his surroundings
