Welcome to Hanwell

Welcome to Hanwell is an open-world horror game set in a city that was once a safe haven from the horrors of the world. Now anomalies roam its streets, and you explore Hanwell’s buildings, each with its own location and story, while trying to survive what you encounter.

Explore Hanwell

The city includes residential homes, old English pubs, parks, stores, supermarkets, government buildings and the HCPP research center. Each location has a backstory leading to your arrival, and something is always happening when you get there. Different environments make each area distinct.

Face the anomalies

Anomalies roam the streets and sometimes enter buildings that were once protected. You can pick up whatever you find and use it to fight them, or run. Unexplained noises and things glimpsed at the edge of your vision or beyond the shadows contribute to the unease of exploring the city.

The council's collapse

The Hanwell Council of Public Protection (HCPP) formed when anomalies first emerged, providing equipment and expertise to help prevent incidents and prepare residents. With the council's help, Hanwell became one of the safest, if most inconvenient, places on the planet. Now the council has fallen, equipment is failing and warnings are scarce. As the rest of the world has closed the gates and abandoned Hanwell, a mysterious individual who seems to be everywhere stalks you.
