Welcome to Giggleland

O-oh! Hi there!
Heheh, it's been a while since I've met another kid! I'm Eliot, your Giggleland guide. Welcome to the place where smiles are forever!
This is Tolie. She doesn't talk, but she knows how to listen, and that makes her the best kind of friend. Her dad is waiting for her somewhere in the park, so first we're going to see Farmer Terry. He loves helping children find their way home!

There are only a few rules

Stay on the path.
Stay where I can see you.
If a door says Staff Only, don't go in there. It's against the rules!

Park announcementAttention, guests. If you have seen a little girl wearing a white dress and a pink hat, please notify the nearest staff member immediately.

From the official Steam description.

Tolie

A girl who isn't allowed to leave the house. One night she wakes up alone in Giggleland. She doesn't talk, but she knows how to listen.

A developer that doesn't exist
On Steam, next to “KMW”, the developer field read ?v=P1qoOWRpD6M. Pasted after youtube.com/watch, it leads to a hidden video: EliotElla_ep_03_(2010).avi.
Kids Media Workshop
In the story, Giggleland is the work of Kids Media Workshop (KMW), the company behind the Ella and Eliot cartoons. Across giggle.land and the KMW website, fans found a 1990 report on a missing girl, Sarah's audio files and diary, and a tape credited to Debbie and Simon Sampson, the cartoons' creators.
