About ASYLUM
From the creators of cult sleeper hit Scratches and the haunting Serena, comes a chilling journey into the darkest depths of your mind.ASYLUM is an ambitious first-person horror adventure casting you into the hallucinatory setting of the Hanwell Mental Institute. As an ex-patient suffering bizarre visions, you must explore the intricate layout of the building, research its past history, and march towards a shocking conclusion.With influences ranging from Peter Cushing to Lucio Fulci, ASYLUM has been meticulously crafted with a strong focus on storytelling and atmosphere. Visit countless tenebrous environments, make your way through a towering, lifelike mental hospital, and solve compelling puzzles to find the answers you seek.We poured our heart and soul into creating an involving and endlessly rewarding adventure. If you love the kind of slow-burning horror with an old-school sensibility that creeps upon you, ASYLUM will be an unforgettable experience.
- A mind-bending original storyline that we somehow managed to keep secret during 15 years of production.
- Around 10 hours of gameplay — and that's without learning all the dark secrets!
- An atmosphere so engrossing you will almost smell the stench of decrepitude and putrefaction around you.
- Exciting challenges rewarding your wit and observation.
- Memorable soundtrack inspired by 80s horror films and quite a bit of John Carpenter.
- No jump scares! OK, maybe just a frightening handful that will hit you when you least expect them.
- Diegetic interface and other buzz words.

The story was decent, but otherwise everything was pretty meh. I kept waiting for something cool to happen but the game was short on action and had little drama.9 found this helpful
There's some interesting ideas here, which are let down by a weak narrative, clunky game mechanics, and a decidely spongey ending. Some effective scares but nothing inspired, and the NPCs are flatter than a piece of paper.7 found this helpful
I wish i could do a neutral review i really do, i dont feel like this is a great game nor a bad game. As many people i came to this after a Scratches essay that i sadly did not get to play, and i was expecting something like it. While the elements are there the game misses in several points. The story was.. meh at best, started really strong but halfway through it just felt like the game was done with it and wanted it to end. We learned little in what the end actually was. I wish there was more everyormental story telling rather than just the notes and newspapers, it just felt off. The puzzles, im sorry to say were not puzzles, it was fetch quests that had zero brain effort to work out. Another issue i have is the asylum was too big, there was way too much backtracking and some rooms felt useless, not enough story to them, nothing interesting, just..there. The long always filled with literally nothing made the game a slog to get through. I love the atomesphere but it was lost in how tedious it was to walk around it ended up losing the tension the game had. Scares? No, it tries but fails, again i was hoping for more, the enviorment felt too safe. Once again the ten…5 found this helpful

Not as good as Scratches but still a fun time 8/101 found this helpful
Знаю, что написал "не рекомендую" для Шорох. хотя по итогу Шорох понравился мне больше, а Asylum в итоге "рекомендую". Последовательность это как-то не про меня. На мой взгляд Asylum не смотря на хоррор часть, это baby first quest. В нем нет затупов, локация открывается постепенно, предметы все видны, а действия логичны. История какая-то слегка не законченная, хотелось бы какой-то более жирной точки, а так только небольшое недоумение вызывает. К чему все это? К чему это ревью? Пора в дурку.
