Story

Your neighborhood seems to require some serious monster cleaning. AWAY could have been a violent FPS game, but you play as a harmless child with a wooden stick.

As you throw yourself into danger investigating missing parents and very strange events happening, you will have to find allies. Luckily enough your neighborhood is full of odd but powerful characters.

You may not be deadly but you’re super good at making friends! You'll have fun with the angry tree, robot, and sorcerer who throw mines, launch missiles, and shoot fireballs.

See the world through your allies’ eyes, first person style, whenever you call upon them. Beware, it can be quite a visual experience! And don’t exhaust them too fast, kiddo!
