A young boy named Jayden Walker was on top of the world until his parents were suddenly taken away from him. Once outgoing and delightful to be around, he had been reduced to little more than a recluse within his new home; Briar Orphanage.

The staff tried their best to care for and nurture the poor boy, but nothing ever helped. He was alone, and felt every moment of that misery. One of the staff noticed he was having a particularly hard time sleeping. Every night he would toss and turn, sometimes going as far as to scream in fear of his unrelenting nightmares. He would often resort to curling into a tight ball and crying himself to sleep. So the staff took it upon themselves to do whatever it took to make him feel better, and it was this that led to Jayden meeting who would soon become his best friend; a stuffed bear he named Tobey.

And he is the true lead of our story.

Every night, when Jayden drifts to sleep, Tobey rises up in protecting of the young boy. Toy wooden sword and shield in paw, Tobey fends off the fearsome nightmares that would seek to haunt the poor boy, and forge him happy dreams to take their place.

:: GAME INFORMATION ::


Genre: 3rd Person Adventure-Platformer

Gameplay: The player would take control of Tobey the Bear, and guide him through the orphanage in the dark of the night, seeking cruel nightmares that seek his owner Jayden. Wooden sword and shield in paw, Tobey would strike down the phantasms and free the hopes and dreams they had stolen from children in the past to transform them into new, wonderful dreams for Jayden.

Over the course of the game, Tobey would find various makeshift weapons with radically different functions to help him on his quest, ranging from a hairbrush to a pair of scissors. The more dreams he forged for Jayden, the stronger the love and hope in the young boy that brought the bear to life would become, and in turn Tobey would grow in strength as well, developing new skills and "Dream Powers" to help him overcome the night terrors shrouding the orphanage, until it was not just Jayden he sought to bring peace to, but all the children who suffered as well.

:: CHARACTERS ::


Jayden Walker: A six year old boy who lost his parents. He has been forced to live in an orphanage and suffers from bad dreams that his stuffed bear Tobey helps to fend off.

Tobey: Jayden's stuffed bear, brought to life by both desperation and, soon enough, hope and love. Tobey's is a strong and determined character who never lets even the most impossible odds get him down, and seems to bring peace and happiness to the dreams of his owner, and eventually all the children in the orphanage as well.

Shannon Black: A worker in the orphanage with a nurturing heart who seeks to bring love and hope to all the children in the orphanage. She is the one who gave Tobey to Jayden.

Nyx the Nightmare Queen: Ruler over all the night terrors confronted in the game, Nyx considers Briar Orphanage to be her kindgom, and grows stronger with every dream her minions corrupt. It is believed that in life, she was once an orphan much like the children she terrorizes, but was not fortunate enough to receive the love and affection they have. Some say she was so miserable in life that she faded into the shadows one night, and became the very thing that made her life so horrible each and every night.

:: EXTRAS ::


Headwear: Tobey could earn various 'headwear' items sort of like trophies. Some of these would give slight benefits to Tobey's abilities, but they would mostly serve for a fun addition to unlock and play around with. These would range from toy helmets to hats, and even crowns.

Capes: Similar to the headwear, Tobey could achieve various capes to play dress up with, but rather than benefiting pre-existing skills these capes would give Tobey unique skills and spells that could only be used when worn. Ranging from a simple hand towel, to toy capes, and even a mysterious 'Nightmare Cloak', none of these capes would be required to complete the game, but would instead serve to access secret areas and just play the game in new and exciting ways.
