"Inside D-Industries, the evil D-Troit is creating new crash dummy prototypes. D-troit has a dark past and before dedicating himself to crash tests, it seems he lead a criminal life full of robbery, swindles and racketeering. Even today, behind the "normal" activities of Dindustries, it appears he's hiding some dark criminal projects. According to some people, he's even using these new crash dummy prototypes for bank robberies and many other kinds of crime.

Prof. Advisor’s Crash-Industry has been shut because of a mysterious attack that destroyed a good part of the buildings and damaged the equipment. The economic damage was so great that the complex had to be closed and most of the dummies sold to D-Troit.

Prof. Advisor knows very well that D-Troit is behind all his problems, but he needs to find a witness. His only hope is to rely on his most faithful friend and companion, Crash Dummy. Crash Dummy's girlfriend, Tyre, was kidnapped and dismantled into pieces by the evil D-Troit, because on the night of the explosion she had seen D-Troit's prototype dummies placing the bombs in the Crash- Industry.

The future of Prof. Advisor and all the other dummies lies in the hands of a single...Crash Dummy.”

Features :

The game mechanics of Crash Dummy are largely based on real world physical interaction (Havok). All the Objects in the levels can be used to defeat enemies, avoid traps, create traps. Rolling barrels, swinging chains and hooks can be used as “weapons” to hit the monsters that populate each level.
