Featured Games

Elf In Training

Elf In Training

By Breakfast Bunny

Play or Learn More

In Elf In Training, a chaotic 4-player couch co-op game, you play as Santa’s newest recruits delivering presents. The catch? You have to break into people’s homes to do it.

Homeowners, pets, and strange Christmas entities will defend their territory, so you’ll need to sneak, dodge, and outsmart them to complete your deliveries and prove you’re ready to become one of Santa’s elfs.

About the Developer

Hello! I’m an indie developer who has been creating small game projects for over 10 years. I studied game design and have also worked professionally in the game industry, with a background in QE and art.

My current project, Elf In Training, has been in development for about two years. While I’ve commissioned a few artists to help move the project along, about 90% of the work has been done by me. After more than a decade of working on smaller indie projects, I’m excited to finally be working toward my first commercial release.

I really appreciate MOHA and the artist community it supports. Thanks for having me!
