Sprout

Work at the toy factory

Sprout is a PC horror game set at Santa’s toy factory on Christmas Eve. Your first shift is ordinary factory work: wrap presents and send them down the line, build toys from children’s orders, sort letters, bake cookies and feed the reindeer. Then the lights fail and the doors seal, leaving you to survive five nights or escape before morning.

Hide and watch

Something stalks the factory, reacting to what it sees and hears. You can hide in wardrobes, under beds or inside giant presents, but staying in one place too long lets it catch your scent. Security cameras run on a tablet with a battery that drains, and the screen’s glow can reveal your position. You can also board up doors and listen as the creature tries to break through.
