–MEET YOUR NEW IMAGINARY FRIENDS–



In 1949, seven children mysteriously disappeared. Now it's 1977, and it's your job to investigate the last place they were ever seen: Hathmoore Children's Asylum.

⟫ DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE? ⟪



Brave the asylum haunted by the echoes of tortured children. Oh, and solve puzzles and snap pictures with your nifty camera. That's cool too.

The Friends We Left Behind is a point-and-click horror game, meaning that you cannot run away. The Imaginary Friends would never make it that easy for you to escape.

The designs and aesthetic of this game are second to none. The puzzles feel generally intuitive, though a couple of them took a few tries to figure out exactly what was being asked of me. The "Aggressive" and "Insane" difficulties really start to heat things up, the later levels took me a serious amount of time to nail down well enough to complete. Luckily though, there are no secret endings or lore hidden behind the harder difficulties. So you can have a complete experience with the story of the game by playing on easier modes. Overall this is absolutely a game worth your time (especially if you're setting a baseline for playing the devs later work in this world)
