ToXiCtEdDiE is an American consumer goods, electronics, and video game company based in Los Angeles California.
ToXiCtEdDiE, a realm where the charm of magic and the allure of the unknown come to life through video games.
Founded in 2015 by Kalif Byrd, our journey began in an unexpected corner of creativity -- a young endeavor in media-editing right from the comforts of home. It was here that the seeds of ToXiCtEdDiE were sown, germinating into a thriving video game development company.
As a Computer Science major at Loyola Marymount University, with a minor in Interactive, Gaming, and Immersive Media, I, Kalif, have always been mesmerized by the enigmatic world of magic and witches. This fascination is the heartbeat of ToXiCtEdDiE. Our games are more than just digital experiences; they are gateways to worlds where the eerie yet endearing themes of the supernatural entwine with the whimsical. Our signature style? Creepy but cute -- a unique blend that captivates and charms. Each game we create is a canvas for this distinct aesthetic, inviting players to explore realms where the magical and the mysterious coexist in harmony. But our vision extends beyond the digital realms. With plans to launch an exclusive clothing line and a series of themed toys, we aim to bring the essence of ToXiCtEdDiE into the tangible world. We're not just crafting games; we're creating a lifestyle, a culture, and a community for those who find beauty in the mystical and the magical.
The name ToXiCtEdDiE has its roots in my childhood, where my love for storytelling first blossomed. As a child, I would create movies using my teddy bears as actors, weaving tales that were often grim and, one might say, 'toxic' in nature. These early experiences in crafting stories with my teddy bears laid the foundation for my passion for game development. What started as innocent playtime evolved into a deeper exploration of narrative and creativity, leading me to where I am today. The transition from teddy bear actors to digital characters in games represents not just a change in medium, but a continuation of a lifelong journey in storytelling. From its humble beginnings as a creative outlet, ToXiCtEdDiE has evolved into a beacon for those who share a love for all things magically unconventional.
Join us as we continue to weave these threads of childhood imagination and technological innovation into a tapestry of unique experiences. At ToXiCtEdDiE, we believe that every game, every piece of clothing, and every toy we create is not just a product, but a piece of art that tells a story. It's a journey back to those days of innocence and wonder, yet forward into a future brimming with endless possibilities. As we expand into fashion and toys, we remain committed to our core philosophy of blending the enchanting with the unconventional, the mystical with the modern. Our mission extends beyond just entertainment; it's about building a universe where the magic of yesteryears meets the innovations of tomorrow. A universe where you can lose yourself in otherworldly adventures, express yourself through our fashion line, or find a piece of nostalgia in our toys.
We invite you to be part of this journey, to be part of the ToXiCtEdDiE coven. Whether you're playing our games, wearing our designs, or collecting our toys, you're not just a consumer; you're a fellow witch in the mystical realm we're continually crafting. Together, let's celebrate the magic, the mystery, and the marvels that await.
Welcome to ToXiCtEdDiE -- Made by magic; believe in magic.
