Asylum

Asylum is an ambitious and intricate first-person horror adventure casting you into the hallucinatory setting of the Hanwell Mental Institute. Interact with its curious denizens, gather clues, unravel the mystery, and march towards a shocking conclusion. With influences ranging from Lovecraft to Peter Cushing to Lucio Fulci, Asylum has been meticulously crafted with a strong focus on storytelling and atmosphere. Explore countless tenebrous environments, make your way through a towering, lifelike mental hospital, and solve compelling puzzles to find the answers you seek.

  • A mind-bending original storyline that we somehow managed to keep secret during 15 years of production.
  • Between 10 and 15 hours of gameplay — and that's without learning all the dark secrets!
  • An atmosphere so engrossing you will almost smell the stench of decrepitude and putrefaction around you.
  • Exciting challenges that reward your wit and observation.
  • Memorable soundtrack inspired by 80s horror films and quite a bit of John Carpenter.
  • No jump scares! OK, maybe just a frightening handful that will hit you when you least expect them.
  • Diegetic interface and other buzz words.
