About The Hostage
The Hostage is a text-based companion simulation about Ryan, a medical assistant taken hostage by ruthless rebels in the jungles of Africa. You act as his voice of reason, advising him as he tries to escape the jungle and avoid being kept in a cage for ransom.
Guide Ryan
Your advice affects how much Ryan trusts you: helpful, accurate guidance makes him more likely to follow your directions later. You must also respond quickly when a reaction prompt appears, as Ryan needs advice in dangerous situations. His heart rate, shown in the upper-right corner, gives you an indication of the situation he is in.
Story and discoveries
The game has two branching story arcs with multiple endings. Ryan collects items as he travels deeper into the jungle, and you can unlock achievements that show how successfully you played and which secrets you found.
