Young, dashing... dead.
Bones, a small skeleton torn from his grave by a construction crane and swept into a storm drain, awakens in the depths of a sewer, lost, confused, and in pieces. Emerging into a strange, modern city full of unfamiliar technology and ghostly whispers, he must sneak past the living, solve puzzles, and deliver messages from the dead. Limb by limb, clue by clue, Bones begins to piece himself and his past back together in a journey of strange favors, quiet discoveries, and self-discovery.
