About The Hat Man: Shadow Ward
The Hat Man: Shadow Ward is a horror game about searching the Canton State Insane Asylum for your missing daughter. After asylum staff report that she has disappeared, you arrive to find the facility plunged into darkness, cut off from electricity and communication with the outside world, and terrorized by supernatural beings known as The Hat Man and the Shadow people.
Search the asylum
Armed with a flashlight and items you find along the way, you must survive the terror and uncover what happened to your daughter. The asylum is procedurally generated using a proprietary algorithm, making each playthrough unique and unpredictable.
The story
The game tells a story based on accounts from books, newspaper clippings and internet sources. Its events take place at Canton State Insane Asylum fifty years ago and are presented as reported by survivors.
