Away: Shuffle Dungeon is a role-playing game developed by Mistwalker and released for the Nintendo DS in 2008. The game centers on a village whose inhabitants have been abducted by an unknown force, leaving a lone hero to investigate the disappearances and restore the fractured community. The title's defining mechanic is the "shuffle dungeon" system, in which dungeon layouts shift and reconfigure as players explore, creating a dynamic environment that changes during traversal. Players navigate these constantly alternating passages while working to rescue the missing villagers and piece together the cause of the mysterious phenomenon. The game comes from Mistwalker, the studio founded by Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, and represents one of the developer's earlier projects on handheld hardware, combining dungeon exploration with a community-rebuilding element tied to the central narrative.
