Arata Haunted Asylum

Arata Haunted Asylum is a template flip from Anamik Majumdar, who keeps reskinning the same lame GameMaker Studio game templates and re-releasing them on Steam with a few minor changes. The GameMaker Studio templates he keeps re-releasing are just basic retro pixel (couldn't he rip off a template with proper graphics??) 2D top down/platformer stealth/action games. Here's some other copy + pastes from Anamik of [i]exactly the same game template[/i]: The 2D top down retro pixel stealth/darkness template: [list] [*] Abandoned Croxon Mansion [*] Axizon Labs: Zombies [*] Canterz Paranormies [*] Canterz Paranormies 2 [*] Gaze At Maze [*] Ghost In The Barn House [*] Gregor Hills Haunted Hospital [*] Haunted Jail: Alcatas [*] Heltons Haunted Hotel [*] House Number 666 [*] Mello Haunted House [*] My Haunted Doll [*] Rescue Rina [*] Ryo The Haunted Office [*] The Chills [*] The Haunted Exmone Theatre [*] The Haunted Tunnel [*] Canterz Paranormies [/list] These are all basically the exact same GameMaker Studio game templates with a different skin and a couple of things changed.

after smoking a fat j i had noticed this game in the steam store. what a coincidence! it was on sale -40% and i had exactly 0,95€ in my steam wallet. so from there came the decision to play it. shortly after entering the building, i realised there was no way to shoot or defend yourself. my bad, somehow got that confused looking at the images of the game. let me tell you something. the monsters/spirits (?) are easy to avoid but when they appear out of nowhere you can instantly die. so be cautious. sometimes you need to slow down other times you need to run. it also came as a surprise to see the easy controls, just for moving and to open a door or pull a switch you just had to go near it. wish there was more of a meaningful story or stronger enemies because after a few levels it feels like just a walking simulator with no horror (avoiding traps etc). i completed the game and doubt to ever revisit it but think it's an okay try which could've been a lot more engaging if there was a more complex story and you'd have to do more than picking up items and walking.

One of the easiest of series. Many jump scares. Easy Achievements, 100 / ~30min.
