About

You get to play as a guy, a psychopath, or someone else—who knows? You'll have to use your imagination, complete 10 challenging levels, and defeat the main bosses. You'll be all set with this one weapon that has two different attacks: your CHAINSAW. Let your imagination take you on a journey through the mind of a great author as you play.** "It's time to overcome your fear of conflict. Every time someone accused you, you kept silent and kept your anger inside. The demon you are about to face represents this fear.
