About this game

You wake in the dark, surrounded by strange nutcracker soldiers and princess ballerinas… And what’s this? You’re dressed the same.

It's the night before Christmas and you’ve been kidnapped. You’re in a box. And you’re either very small, or the elf that captured you is very, very big.

Your mad giant captor is coming to eat you, one by one, as she prepares for Christmas Day…

Toyeater is a visual novel survival game where your choices will ensure whether you live or die.

Designed like an escape room, you can move freely around the room and must uncover clues and items to progress.

You need to move carefully and plot your course if you're going to survive...
