James
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
A deranged puppet is determined to bury its own father. Step into the shoes of an eccentric millionaire who spent nearly his entire fortune creating… this.
In the shadowy depths of a secret laboratory, a living puppet was born — named James. Now, James has turned against you, trapping you inside his eerie mansion.
Survive his twisted game: solve the disturbing puzzles hidden within his nightmarish home, where nothing is as it seems.
Run. Hide. Search for clues.
Find the items you need and escape… if you can.
