About the Game

Taken Away is a non-linear strategic horror game. Following a car "accident", you have been abducted. Explore your surroundings, don't get caught, figure out a way to escape... or face a gruesome death.



Every game is unique, each run starts with a random setup: items placement changes, passwords are randomly generated. The Dog and the Man's behaviors can be unpredictable, and should be handled with care.



You will face many hurdles and challenges, making it alive will be tough...
  • Searching the house is the #1 key to your success, but the Man doesn't really like it...
  • His pet Wolf doesn't like you either, stay low.
  • Avoid traps, pick locks, listen carefully to all sound cues and be smarter than the enemy!
  • Play a video game inside the game!
  • Grab some vegetables, and make soup! Might be useful, who knows...
  • What is this strange growl coming from the basement?
