As well as the patients, the staff also had their own dirty secrets and questionable motives (when they were alive), secrets that will come to light as you read through emails, find old documents, relive the past via visions, and investigate your surroundings. Although you’re there alone, you’re never on your own as spirits of the past still haunt this damned place, unable to move on due to reasons unknown. Once you’ve scouted the area, had a few spooks, and solved a few puzzles, you find yourself locked within the grounds of the asylum, unable to leave or call for help.Īs you walk the deserted hallways, you’ll begin to discover more information on your sister, the mysterious Dahlia, your mother, and why you’ve been called to this place. As you’d expect, she ends up crashing her car, leaving herself stranded outside of this forsaken place (not expected because she’s a female driver, expected because this is how almost every game like this starts!).

Its dark tones, spooky story, difficult platinum, and abundance of puzzles, all made that game a worthy alternative for those looking for a casual horror puzzle game. Early last year I took a look at a game that stood up against Artifex Mundi as a horror-based adult version of their ever-popular Hidden Object Games, True Fear: Forsaken Souls ~ Part 1.
