Nolly Nutcase - The Squirrel Nolly Nutcase is the leader of the Jolly Crew and the face and heart of Nutcase Inc. Regarded as the “big bad” of Jolly Junction, he is infamous among those of Willow Creek. Residents describe him as the fastest, most violent, and most terrifying of them all. With short orange fur, long blood-stained claws, and a grin pulled straight from the deepest depths of your nightmares, Nolly is a true horror staple. And if that weren’t enough, his vast army of doppelgangers ensures one thing is certain. He’s not someone you'd ever want to mess with. Bug-a-Bloo - The Bug At one point Bloo was indeed the most terrible and hostile of the Jolly Crew. That was up until an altercation with a certain someone, who stripped him down to his head and torso. Leaving him immobile on a set of wheels. Despite his newfound disability, the Jolly Crew still value and cherish him as a long serving member of the Jolly Crew. Remember, just because Bloo seems to be a lifeless prop, doesn't mean he is one. He can still see, hear and talk just like the other Crewmates can. Meaning if he spots you he won’t do anything, but he will alert the others. Beware. Furball Funzo - The Mole Funzo is, by far, the creepiest member of the Jolly Crew. He moves in complete silence and always seems to find an audience, whether one is meant to be there or not. With short legs and long arms, which is unusual for a mole, though he’s said to be magical, or so the stories go. Covered in long purple fur, has a brown flat cap and is missing an eyeball (you’ll never guess how that happened), Funzo was once a fan favourite among children. Parents, however, often complained that “Furball Funzo” felt disturbingly out of place beside the rest of the Jolly Crew. Felicity Feline - The Cat Felicity has slowly crept her way into the spotlight over the years. If you were to ask a resident of Willow Creek about her, they probably wouldn’t even remember her from the children’s programme. It’s since the studio shut down she really let herself become known. Slowly becoming more upfront and commanding of the Jolly Crew and steadily rising to becoming Nolly’s second in command. Felicity is boastful yet charming in every way possible. Long red fur and big sparkling eyes, what else could you ask for from such an already purrr-fect feline friend? Neuton Nutjob - The Space Squirrel Neuton is typically the most forgettable of the Jolly Crew. He was designed to be an ‘Alien Nolly Nutcase’ which ties into his actual appearance and personality in the Jolly Junction children’s programme. His fur is bright green and yellow to really exaggerate the tone of an extra terrestrial-like being, alongside his glowing red eyes, lacking a pair of pupils. Neuton was noticeably the most threatening of the Crew, some even considering him a bigger scare than Nolly Nutcase himself. Where there’s Nolly, Neuton is never far behind. He’s quick, intelligent and deadly… Toco Talons - The Toucan Named after the species of bird 'Toco Toucan', Toco is the shy, quiet member of the Jolly Crew. The Crew always hunts as a pack. Not Toco, though. She usually lingers behind, staying out of trouble whenever she can. She was never given wings, like you'd expect a bird to have. When the costumes were made, the studio had ran out of fabric and didn’t care enough to supply more, leaving her wingless and brushing it off as a “unique design choice.” This unsurprisingly, makes her far more vulnerable than the rest of the Crew. Since the studio shut down, Toco has also lost her beak, coincidentally during the same incident that left Bug-a-Bloo without his arms… -PLAYER CONTROLS- {W,A,S,D} - Player Movement {SHIFT} - Sprint {E} - Interact/Use Items {ESCAPE} - Quit Experience
