The Soft Dark

The Soft Dark - All Five Tufts

The Soft Dark is a place that's soft... and dark. It's home to a host of creatures that are ferociously timid. And soft, oh so soft.

Five creatures from the Soft Dark wake up in gardens and alleys across the globe. They have no memory of the shift. Five children find them. They must hide a tiger-sized, moss-green fluffball in the pantry before their parents walk in. The creatures feel a pull toward each other. The kids have to bridge the gap.

Meet the Tufts

Delilah

Delilah

Tiger-sized, green, fuzzy, pink belly, and a fin-ridged tail. She loves scratches on her shoulder blades but has a deep-seated hatred for plant pots.

Flubo

Flubo

Loves anything high pitched. You'll often find him in windy places, sitting near things that whistle with the gusts. He hates picture frames—not the pictures, just the frames.

Shim

Shim

Tiny and peculiar. He loves sleeping with his head against a wall, though he doesn't know why. He strongly dislikes the word "hate."

Hamish

Hamish

Wears a crown but is not in charge. He loves to jump, but never too high—he has a secret fear of heights.

Louis

Louis

Often found perched on his favorite chair. He has a quiet dignity and a watchful eye, always observing the world around him with curiosity.

Status

Currently in development. The specimens are gathering.
