Dark and Disturbing Interactive Teaser for ‘Asylum’

One of my most antic­i­pated games for 2013–which has been listed on my Most Wanted page for what feels like for­ever now–is an indie point-and-click adven­ture hor­ror game called Asy­lum . I’ve posted the trailer before on this blog and tweeted about it prob­a­bly hun­dreds of times over the past year (which as far as I’m con­cerned isn’t enough). And now I’m going to post the inter­ac­tive teaser because even though this came out last month, it some­how man­aged to escape my atten­tion until today. Shame on me.

Here’s where you can down­load the playable teaser , which is avail­able for PC, Mac, and Ubuntu.

I spent a good 20 min­utes or so explor­ing the con­demned halls of Han­well Men­tal Insti­tute and I was more than suf­fi­ciently creeped out. The game seems to be shap­ing up to be a wor­thy follow-up to  Scratches, the pre­vi­ous game by devel­oper Agustin Cordes of Sen­scape . I con­sider  Scratches one of the scari­est com­puter games I’ve ever played. Here’s hop­ing that  Asy­lum  will soon share that honor.
