About Arata Haunted Asylum
Arata Haunted Asylum is a 2D Top Down Survival horror game based on the story of a haunted asylum located in Japan. You will investigate the asylum for the proof of the paranormal.
Arata Asylum was built way back in the 1960s in the rural area of Japan which used to treat thousands of mentally-ill patients. It was one of the oldest asylums of the country where the various tragic incidents occurred during its course. The hospital used to admit patients who were deemed either too sick or too dangerous to be a part of the society.
During the 1980s, it was said that one of the patients hit her own head with a hammer and died in the process. The incident occurred mainly due to the negligence of the asylum stuff. It had also come to light that the corrupt doctors of the asylum performed the various experiments on the mental patients secretly which resulted in the death of many patients. Later, the various other incidents occurred which lead to the closure of the asylum in 1993.
People who visited the asylum reported seeing dark shadows, apparitions of deceased patients, hearing laughing sounds, banging noises on the walls and so on. It is said that an Evil force is present in the basement area of the building and is highly active. The Paranormal enthusiast, Doi, decided to check out the haunted asylum by himself for the proof of the paranormal.
You play as Doi, the paranormal enthusiast and would you accept the challenge of investigating the haunted asylum at night?
Note: I am a solo indie game developer and I have done all of the graphics, artwork, character design, and programming except for the music. I hope you will enjoy the game.

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. No professional effort was made in terms of game development, using a game construction kit requires no game d…10 found this helpful
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.5 found this helpful
One of the easiest of series. Many jump scares. Easy Achievements, 100 / ~30min.
