Mawgate

Mawgate is a short, narrative-driven survival horror game set in the 19th century. Maria Moore awakens alone and disoriented inside Mawgate Asylum, after being deemed “hysterical” under mysterious circumstances. Her husband, William, is missing, and the asylum has become a place of terror where twisted creatures roam.

Explore the asylum

You guide Maria through the sprawling, interconnected institution, exploring its labyrinthine halls, locked doors and hidden compartments. You solve environmental puzzles to progress, manage scarce resources and fight or outmaneuver the horrors inside. As you search for the enigmatic director, Dr. Hawley, you uncover secrets about the asylum and the events behind its fall.

Maria’s story

Born into poverty and thrust into aristocratic life through marriage, Maria never felt at home in the world she was forced into. Independent and strong-willed, she dreamed of freedom, travel, art and a life beyond expectation. Now imprisoned and branded insane, she relies on her resolve to survive, escape the asylum and discover what happened to William.
