But time slips away, strange noises echo from the dark corners of the room, and what starts as an innocent trip quickly spirals into a dark nightmare. Something is waiting for you here something far beyond what a child should ever experience.

The only way out is through. To escape the horrors lurking in the real world, Tommy must enter a strange, haunted video game.
