About Asylum
Asylum is a first-person horror adventure set in the hallucinatory Hanwell Mental Institute. You play as an ex-patient who suffers bizarre visions, exploring the hospital, researching its history and solving puzzles as you search for answers and move towards a shocking conclusion. The story takes around 10 hours, with further dark secrets to uncover.
The institute
You make your way through the sprawling, lifelike mental hospital and its many dark environments. The game focuses on storytelling and atmosphere, with a slow-building horror approach and an old-school sensibility.
Puzzles and discoveries
The challenges reward observation and problem-solving. The game has a diegetic interface and avoids jump scares for the most part, though a frightening handful may catch you by surprise.
Sound and story
The original storyline unfolds against a soundtrack inspired by 1980s horror films and the music of John Carpenter.
