Once best friends, now have become enemies. Welcome to Jacob’s life. No friends, no family, nobody. He is alone. 8 months ago, his brother was kidnapped and taken away by his ex-friend, Henry. After recent evidence found, Jacob knew he must go after Henry.

Henry is sick. He is in need of help. He has something in common with Jacob, loneliness. Henry lives deep within the abandoned forest. No one lives anywhere near him. The only 3 things Henry has is a home, a pet, and Rodger, Jacob’s brother.

Rodger is locked up in a small shed. There are 7 locks and a wooden board blocking the door. The windows are also boarded up. Rodger has no escape. The only thing able to save him is Jacob. Help Jacob and Rodger see each other again.

There is one more character, Emily, the sister of Rodger and Jacob. She had ran away from home a few years back. She is in contact with Henry. Why is that?

Where are Jacob and Henry’s parents? They had died a very long time ago. It is just Rodger and Jacob who are keeping the family together. However, it is possible to reunite with Emily.

v1.2

  • New Scene: You can now explore outside the players home! In order to access the driving scene, walk up to the car door!
  • New difficulty: Insane Mode. The hardest difficulty to-date! Can you beat it?
  • New ending: Insanity Ending! You can only access this ending via the Insane difficulty!
  • AXE 2.0: The axe has been heavily flawed the past few updates, but it is now safe to say that the axe is much more stable now! There is now a delay when using the axe, many fixes for the axe, and is quite easier to use now!
  • I have heard the reviews! Several players were upset that you could not use the battery before the flashlight died, but today is different! You can now use the battery before the flashlight dies and it’ll never die in the game! If you do not retrieve the battery, you will be left in the dark.
  • The skeleton now has 4 different random spawn points
  • The skeleton has a new look when on insanity mode only.
  • There is now a difficulty menu that displays what makes each difficulty unique
  • Improved the design of the reset menu
  • Quality improvements to the players bedroom
  • Changed the controls for climbing the ladder and ringing the doorbell.
  • New sound effects + new soundtrack
  • Many bug fixes
