Description

From the creators of cult sleeper hit Scratches and the haunting Serena, comes a chilling journey into the darkest depths of your mind.

 

 

ASYLUM is an ambitious first-person horror adventure casting you into the hallucinatory setting of the Hanwell Mental Institute. As an ex-patient suffering bizarre visions, you must explore the intricate layout of the building, research its past history, and march towards a shocking conclusion.

 

 

With influences ranging from Peter Cushing to Lucio Fulci, ASYLUM has been meticulously crafted with a strong focus on storytelling and atmosphere. Visit countless tenebrous environments, make your way through a towering, lifelike mental hospital, and solve compelling puzzles to find the answers you seek.

 

 

We poured our heart and soul into creating an involving and endlessly rewarding adventure. If you love the kind of slow-burning horror with an old-school sensibility that creeps upon you, ASYLUM will be an unforgettable experience.

 

 

 

  • A mind-bending original storyline that we somehow managed to keep secret during 15 years of production.
  • Around 10 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 rewarding 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.

Some texts in the game include references to physical abuse, sexual assault, and self-harm.

Voodoo Revival

Scratches was a game that arrived in an odd time in gaminghistory. The classic adventures were fading away as the modern graphics mixed with scare tactics were emerging.... It cut that fine line between the two.. leaving a relatively small fanbase blown away and praying for more titles to come. Then silence.. then there was a rumor.. of Asylum. Then like ten years of nothing blew up in our faces. I have read another review that brought up Duke Nukem Forever - this is absolutely true.... the fact that Asylum is here is a legit miracle! It is much clunkier than Scratches, but also much more bizarre. The fact that it is here at all is a miracle, and if you like old school adventure games, and especially if you even came within a ten foot pole of Scratches.. get this now! A true artistic oddity of the gaming world... an odd moment in time....!

Absolutely hints of Scratches in there

Very immersive detective game with very little handholding. Don't forget to take notes! It is really great, I recommend it to all point&click detective enthusiasts out there.

A new adventure from Scratches devs!

I love this new game from Scratches devs- you can said it do sratches my itch for old-school adventure game ;D. Anyway, this is what you expect from classic old school like Scratches- but with kind of ways to solve the puzzles and story are everywhere: from well-write characters, docs, and puzzles! This game had been in making for long time and finally release; it is worth wait? Yes! I hope you enjoys this game same as I have!

Masterful 3D point-and-click adventure

I'm about halfway through my second playthrough and loving it. Asylum deeply scratches the itch for immersive 3D point-and-click adventure games (e.g. MYST). Every scene has so much detail and shows subject-matter expertise. I think this game redefines "environmental storytelling" - I've never played a game that used literally every item, event, and conversation to convey the mystery. For me the game really started AFTER I had completed my first playthrough.
