About the game

This is a modified version of Nowhere — a psychological survival horror from 2007 for the J2ME platform (Java games that once ran on old keypad phones). Back then such games were in almost every phone, but a serious horror in that format was a rarity — Nowhere was one of them. Some elements here have been reworked to make it play better.

You are John... or Lucas. Actually, you don't really know.
