About This Game

[The tale of a twisted metamorphosis...]

I woke up and found myself made... Out of Hands.

Step into a nightmare like no other that unfolds forevermore. Insanity, uncertainty and the bizarre await...

[The line between dreams and reality begins to blur.]

With real video footage cut into collage, everyday objects take on a chilling new form.

Mix and match organs, build your arsenal, and wield peculiar weaponry to fight your way out of the dream world.

[Cling to your sanity, and fight for your life.]

Muster what remains of your shattered psyche and do battle with foes formed of contorted memories, of crushing emotions.

Innovative card-game mechanics mean everything's a weapon. So keep your cool, consider your moves, and decide: will you play it safe, or go for the throat?

[Uncover the truth behind your ghastly visage.]

Mystery, Logic and Action: the chattering Thoughts that mutter amid your psyche. Yet you must work with them to make sense of the madness you face.

Or else, this nightmarish plane shall be your home until the end of time...

Now give a big hand for... Out of Hands!

*DISCLAIMER: The sole developer behind Out of Hands would like to assure you that no hands were harmed in the making of this game.
