The Runaway 8 - a Garry's Mod series.

The Runaway 8 - a Garry's Mod  series.

Project Overview

In a world where perfection is required, 8 unique and special kids overcome the horrors of a "perfect" society who consider imperfect people outcasts and thus must be executed, in a town where it is akin to the 1950s, but is in fact the year 2038, this series tackles childhood nightmares in the forms of antagonists, corrupt politics, and the backstory of the protagonist to figure out the mysteries of the city. The series itself is inspired by media such as Coraline and Little Nightmares, where the adults are the antagonists and monsters, and the kids are special and the heroes.
