Buckle your seatbelt or I swear by the blood of the Old Ones, I will turn this fucking car around. The only thing that’s worse than dying a slow and terrible death on the cold, unclean floor of an abandoned mental institute is getting thrown face-first through a windshield on the way there. That’s just embarrassing.
I’ve written about Scratches creator Agustín Cordes’ horror adventure game Asylum a number of times over the last few years since its wildly successful crowdfunding campaign raised nearly $120,000 nearly three years ago. It’s been delayed a few times since then, and now it’s almost ready to show us what it’s got.
In this latest video, we’re treated to the first two minutes of the game, in which our silent hero follows in the footsteps of Miles Upshur, unaware of the horrors that await him inside the walls of the Hanwell Mental Institute.
“The intro may look subtle but if you pay attention you might notice disturbing details,” explains Asylum developer Senscape. “Keep in mind this not final and, thanks to the feedback of our Kickstarter backers, we’re working on some small but key changes. We hope you enjoy this preliminar look into our ambitious project that may earn a permanent place in your nightmares.”
There’s no release date for this, but it is a PC exclusive. If this moody gameplay footage is indicative of what the rest of the game will look like, I am absolutely on-board with it. What do you think?
