About Hearty Haven

Your a specialist entering the children's wellness centre, its your job to find the truth and deactivate the robots, the mascots will hunt you... Only equipped with a company issued magnet watch, its up to you to hide from these monsters and survive with your body still in one piece. These disturbing horrors go much deeper than meets the eye...

 Puzzles

  • Decode hidden codes buried in environmental patterns
  • Solve multi-layered magnetic puzzles where timing and polarity matter
  • Manipulate distant objects using the Magnet Watch to open paths that should not exist
  • Stack, suspend, and launch metal blocks to create improvised solutions
  • Use physics in unstable ways: bridge gaps, and weaponize the environment itself

 The Mechanics

  • Pull distant metal objects toward you with controlled force
  • Launch debris and metal boxes as improvised projectiles
  • use lighter objects to pull yourself up higher
  • Break glass barriers by accelerating metal at dangerous velocity
  • Chain interactions together for emergent movement puzzles

Horror

  • Persistent stealth where sound is a liability and silence is survival
  • Chase sequences through collapsing sewers
  • Body horror elements tied to experiments and mild blood/gore
  • Creeping ambient audio, distortions, and distant footsteps that play when nothing should be active
Something is always moving just outside your line of sight.

 Story

  • Discover files of experiments that began normal and end in death
  • Piece together why the facility feels so alive
  • Learn what happens when people have to much power.
This story is still in full of mystery and will leave you hooked on what really happened

 Features

  • Physics-driven puzzle horror gameplay
  • Magnet-based traversal
  • Stealth encounters with unpredictable threat
  • Atmospheric exploration of a decaying Mental facility
  • Psychological horror layered with industrial body horror

genuinely doesnt work. no matter what graphics settings i choose i just cannot see in the sewers or in the part after that (since i tried to skip the sewers instead to at least try to finish the game and that part was just another black room). i tried just running through the dark and following the ceiling lights but the monster catches you immediately even when you never stop running. flashlight wouldnt work at that segment if it was even supposed to, but even when you could activate it in certain spaces it just wouldnt help you see at all either. couldnt pick up the magnet wristband in it either. i have no idea why this has only positive reviews, i dont care about the graphics being shoddy, if i was actually able to complete the game i wouldnt be leaving a negative review. maybe ill return if and when the dev fixes this.

The game understands that sometimes the enjoyment comes from the feeling of being in the space rather than constantly chasing goals. However, the biggest weakness is the lack of challenge.
