Toy Chest Quest

What is Toy Chest Quest?

Toy Chest Quest puts the player into a child’s mind as they go about their daily tasks, they must grapple around, leaping between buildings defeating enemies and completing objectives. Once they complete 3 objectives the boss awakens and it is up to the player to grapple their way to victory. Using the tape measure grapple the player must hit the weak spots for the boss and bring them down to its knees.
