Journalist Miles Upshur breaks into Mount Massive Asylum with only a camcorder after a whistleblower tip. You can't fight, only run, hide and film. It's a loud, gory, relentless chase game that became a YouTube staple.
Kit's verdict · 7.8/10
A gory haunted-house ride that never lets you breathe.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Night vision camcorder is a great idea
- Chase scenes are intense
- Short and focused
Not so much
- Shock gore over real dread
- Hiding gets repetitive
Play it if players who want nonstop panic and don't mind extreme gore.
Skip it if anyone squeamish or looking for subtle horror.

Tips
Play it better
- Night vision eats batteries, so turn it off in lit areas and pick up every battery you see.
- Hide under beds and in lockers, but don't peek out too soon; enemies search the room before leaving.
- Vault and slide under obstacles while running to break line of sight.
- Closing doors behind you slows pursuers down.
- Record key events with the camcorder to unlock Miles's notes, which explain what's going on.
