About AWAY: Journey to the Unexpected
AWAY: Journey to the Unexpected sends you on a 3-to-5-hour adventure through a wacky 3D world filled with charming 2D characters, where you play as a kid armed only with a wooden stick who must recruit quirky allies with unique abilities to solve problems and uncover a light-hearted mystery. This anime-inspired indie gem blends action, exploration, and rogue-lite elements with gorgeous hand-drawn aesthetics and a standout soundtrack, letting you experience combat from your allies' first-person perspectives as you discover what strange events are happening in your neighborhood.
AWAY: Journey to the Unexpected is a love letter to japanese animation made by a two-person team. It invites you to a very unusual journey to a charming and wacky 3D world populated by 2D characters.
AWAY is a short light-hearted story mixing action, silly discussions, rogue-lite elements and smashing a bunch of cute creatures to overcome every obstacle in your way.
- A 3 to 5 hours journey around a colorful world featuring unique visuals, with 2D characters living in a 3D world.
- Unravel a funny and light-hearted story, with just the right pinch of rogue-lite elements.
- Recruit up to 8 quirky characters, each with their own unique abilities
- An anime-themed soundtrack composed by Kazuhiko Naruse and sung by Aya Majiro!
“Dear Villagers, we may have released some evil forces while working. Sorry, be safe”, say the Labiworks signs all around.
Your neighborhood seems to require some serious monster cleaning. AWAY could have been one of these bloody FPS if only you were not a harmless kid armed with... a wooden stick.
As you throw yourself into danger investigating about 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! From the mine-throwing angry tree to the missile-launching robot or the fireballing yet short-sighted sorcerer, you’ll be in good company!
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!
AWAY: Journey to the Unexpected was made by a two-person team composed of Aurelien Regard (self-made video game developer who previously released The Next Penelope) and Jim Gennisson (former level designer on Rayman Legends and Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom).

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Tiny, shallow, a very surface level world with fairly boring combat and uninteresting story. It forces you to experience most of the game to beat it since it is so tiny and the last boss is a minigame unrelated to the type of combat you did before, i like the style but it is completely wasted on a game like this.1 found this helpful
A fun game. I beat it in about 3 hours. Simple, but entertaining.1 found this helpful
I had to insert the following start up parameters to get the game to stop crashing at the boot-up (thanks to Bing AI for the quick solution): -force-d3d11 -force-feature-level-10-0 A developer can set stuff on the programming side so that it can automatically switch to functional settings in case the game requires specific DirectX 10 shader settings. This should not be a user side issue. The error log output is completely worthless because it only says that an error occurred in UnityPlayer dll and nothing else. A little future proofing goes a long way. The game itself is okay. A lot of it involves the same process of timing melee attacks and backing up for common enemies and circle-strafing for the boss ones. It gets dull fast.1 found this helpful
"I went into [i]AWAY[/i] not really knowing what to expect. I saw that it had mixed reviews on Steam, but I was charmed by its visual style and decided I was willing to take a punt on it during a sale. As it turns out, my impressions of it are just as mixed as those Steam reviews suggested they might be. It’s not a bad game, but it’s so painfully average and occasionally tedious that sitting down to write this review felt like more of a chore than anything. Its visuals draw inspiration from a visionary, yet [i]AWAY: Journey to the Unexpected[/i] is anything but."

Its a nice friendly little game. Sure the controls are a little wonky but its okay when you get used to it. Its a fun little project. Im glad that games like this gets made. I feel that the developers had fun making it. Its not the best game ever, but it does not need to be. Its nice and fun.
Its a nice short game.
