In the Journey of Mr Hughes, you play as a small toy mannequin  who suddenly develops self-awareness and realizes that:

"Gosh darn! I've been living in captivity all these years! I'm sick and tired of being stuffed in cramp and dark toy boxes all the time, I've got to break free from this tyranny and find a life outside the walls of this appartment!"

Mr Hughes "go-to"-tools are wooden building blocks that lets him overcome obstacles and build bridges and structures that help him find his way to freedom.
