About The Story of Henry Bishop
My name is Henry Bishop, I will tell you my horrible story..
This story happened to me in the late 70s. And even the most terrible nightmare will seem only echoes of horror in comparison with those mysterious events which I participated in. I worked as a real estate agent, and we had an old mansion in Maine which no one could sell. It was as a dead weight on our company. As a stale product on a store shelf which was losing its value every day. After all, houses also have a shelf life. And then, one May morning the silence of our office on the Fifth Avenue was broken by a telephone call. That call changed my whole life. It was a Mr Johnson, a very strange client who was willing to seize this old junk called house. And even the fact that a family of five people disappeared in this house did not frighten him, but on the contrary it was the reason for such a strange purchase. After a brief conversation my boss decided to send me to Stonebridge, to this provincial hole in Maine. My task was to inspect the house and make sure that it still didn't fall apart, and then to contact the clients for a deal.

This game is really frustrating and should not have positive reviews. By the 2nd and 3rd parts is where the game gets difficult and frustrating. What they do not tell you or show you in the trailer is that you will be running from monsters and hiding in closets. You cannot just press E to hide either, you have to move into the closet and press E to close it. Think your safe in the closet? I was hiding the closet in one part and the monster still killed me while I was in there. I do not know how? The worst part is the monsters don't walk off when your hiding in the closet, they literally stand outside until you get out ready to kill you instantly. There is one part with a corridor and spikes and a strong monster (baseball bat with spikes) you find a bat with spikes, I thought maybe I could run past the monster, which I did and escape it but no the room is black so I can’t see. I have had to repeat this part 5-6 times now. Saving is rubbish as you need to find the vinyl record to take to the player to save except most parts have a monster in that will probably kill you before you save the game so you have to repeat parts over. This game is really frustrating and draining. Instead …
I definitely recommend this short horror game. LOTS of jump scares at unexpected moments. It was however also funny due to the voice acting - I'm sure it is unintentional - but I had a good laugh playing this game haha https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VeomPmXEFHI
[h1]A Charming Indie Thriller With Surprising Narrative Depth[/h1] [b]The Story of Henry Bishop[/b] is a small‑budget first‑person psychological thriller that punches well above its weight in story and character — and despite its simplicity, it’s an experience worth playing if you love atmospheric horror and narrative mysteries. Reviews from players lean very positive, showing that the game has resonated with many despite its indie limitations. What makes this game stand out most is its commitment to story‑driven exploration and atmospheric tension. You step into the shoes of Henry Bishop in a haunting old mansion where things are very not what they seem. Throughout your playthrough, you’ll encounter riddles to solve, environmental cues to interpret, and a mystifying plot that steadily pulls you deeper into its world. Unlike bigger horror titles, the game doesn’t rely on flashy mechanics or complex combat. Instead, it hinges on pacing, tension, and narrative mystery — letting you uncover twists and secrets at your own pace. Encountering new rooms, solving puzzles, and reading cryptic notes all contribute to an eerie and immersive atmosphere that feels bigger than its price tag…
Clanky combat, but a short and worthwile story.
Short Fun Scary At Times, Not Bad For The Price
Most stupid bull(R4P I've ever seen. Die, die and die again. What a bad piece of wannabe-game. SAVE YOUR MONEY - AVOID ! (Even for free it would be wasted time)
