Thousands of Lies. Hundreds of horrors. Ten hours. One Way Home
Jimmy Taylor is a boy who finds himself at the center of mysterious events in his hometown. Returning home from school in the evening, Jimmy is involved in a car accident. Waking up, he finds himself on deserted streets in a mysterious place from which it is now up to him to get out.
Lonely and lost, he searches for a way home, encountering unknown and sometimes frightening mysteries and events along the way.
Many Roads
Jimmy will have several roads to choose from. Each road will have its own obstacles, secrets, and rewards. From these choices, Jimmy will pump up his skills, change the progression of the story, and get closer to one of the four endings. Help Jimmy build his one and only and unique path home.
"Crayon story"
Animated crayon drawings tell you the story of this world and its inhabitants, of secrets and mysteries, of Jimmy and his destiny. Find all the parts of the “crayon story” and find out the true reasons for what happened.
Unique enemies and bosses
Meet distorted creatures in your path, scary and frightening. Hide and run or they will consume Jimmy's mind.
A variety of puzzles
Jimmy will face many obstacles on the way home and only you can help him. Show your wit and find the right solution.
