They chose to be brave.
THERE’S SOMETHING UNDER THE FLOORBOARDS

01 / THE NIGHT EVERYTHING CHANGED

Keep the lamp on.

ONCE UPON A VERY BAD NIGHT

Some heroes are born.
These were stitched.

Jason gave his toys a whole world. A dollhouse kingdom. A blanket bridge. A dragon that was, admittedly, a slipper.

Then his father opened something in the basement. Something that should have stayed closed. Now the dead are waking. And so are Jason’s four favourite toys.

“Keep him safe.”A father’s last spell. Four very small answers.

A glamour doll. A toy soldier. A furious baby. A bear with a mended arm. Between them and one sleeping boy: an entire nightmare.

SOME ASSEMBLY. CONSIDERABLE ATTITUDE.

Meet the night shift.

Four personalities. One promise.
Choose a toy. Get acquainted.

Mr. Snuggles, a patched teddy bear with a button eye and a red bowA little worn. A lot of heart.

THE HEART / PROTECTOR

Mr. Snuggles

Soft doesn’t mean fragile.

A well-loved bear with a crooked seam and an unshakeable promise. He may be full of stuffing, but when something reaches for Jason, he’s the one who stands in the way.

BRINGS TO THE PARTY
Protection. Healing. Very good hugs.
SMALL DETAIL, BIG HEART
That red stitching? Someone loved him enough to fix him.
“We still come back for each other.”
Take the whole gang with you

Explore the everyday.

Fight the forgotten.

Come back for each other.

SEE THE WORLD FROM SIX INCHES TALL

A long way from
the toy box.

A staircase becomes a cliff.
A drain becomes a dungeon.
Home becomes worth fighting for.

A warm bedroom under moonlight, seen from the floor
01 / THE BEDROOM

A kingdom on the carpet.

Yesterday, a slipper was the scariest thing in this room. Tonight, four toys stand between the bedroom door and the boy who made them heroes.

ART FROM THE WORLD OF PLAYING WITH DOLLS

Small steps. Real discoveries.

Explore connected places, solve environmental puzzles, and find a way through a world built for much bigger feet.

A party worth protecting.

Combine four heroes’ abilities in active-time battles. Guard a friend, break an opening, and make every little action count.

Leave things a little better.

Help the frightened toys along the way. A shelter, a repaired crossing, a kindness: small things can change the journey home.

For the brave little things.

WIND THE MUSIC BOX

Every nightmare
needs a soundtrack.

Creaky cabaret. Toy-box bravado. A little light in the dark. Listen to the ten-song album, The Four Who Came Back.

01 / 10The Slipper Dragon

Sound starts only when you press play. Headphones welcome.

THE LAMP IS STILL ON.

Somebody’s counting
on you.

There’s a whole world under the bed.
And four small reasons to be brave.
