The story

Nature calls…

Deep in the sun-soaked Aussie outback the dunny door refuses to budge — you’re stuck.

Outside, the buzzing cicadas and the tuneless whistle of “Waltzing Matilda” keep time with the rhythmic thwack of an axe.

You’re trapped in the outhouse of the famous, if somewhat unhinged, Aussie celebrity Huge Axeman. Talk about being caught with your pants down!

Can you escape and radio for help before the bush turns from golden plains to predator’s playground?
