Your little brother Tommy drowned in the backyard pool while you were supposed to be watching him. At his funeral, he comes back, and drags you into The Shadowlands.
Tommy is dead, and everyone blames you. He drowned in your own backyard pool while you were supposed to be watching. Now, on the day of his funeral, he returns, a shadowy figure that pulls you out of the world you know and into The Shadowlands.
It's a realm of monstrous creatures, twisted landscapes, and merciless trials, and there's only one way out: survive. Every decision sets your fate, and there are no second chances.
Over two dozen brutal ways to die. Eight possible endings. One haunting truth about Tommy's death, waiting to be uncovered.
Perfect for fans of interactive horror, gamebooks, and pick-your-path adventures, where every choice could be your last.
Written by Andrew Najberg. Can you escape the nightmare and learn what really happened to Tommy, or will The Shadowlands keep you forever? Book 12 in the Try Not to Die series.
