I wish i could do a neutral review i really do, i dont feel like this is a great game nor a bad game. As many people i came to this after a Scratches essay that i sadly did not get to play, and i was expecting something like it. While the elements are there the game misses in several points. The story was.. meh at best, started really strong but halfway through it just felt like the game was done with it and wanted it to end. We learned little in what the end actually was. I wish there was more everyormental story telling rather than just the notes and newspapers, it just felt off. The puzzles, im sorry to say were not puzzles, it was fetch quests that had zero brain effort to work out. Another issue i have is the asylum was too big, there was way too much backtracking and some rooms felt useless, not enough story to them, nothing interesting, just..there. The long always filled with literally nothing made the game a slog to get through. I love the atomesphere but it was lost in how tedious it was to walk around it ended up losing the tension the game had. Scares? No, it tries but fails, again i was hoping for more, the enviorment felt too safe. Once again the tension i had at the started just left. I dont want to leave a negative review because the game is good, but just not up to par with what these devs can do. We have seen their amazing work so what happened here? Such a long development for this seems out of place. Like many have said if you find this at a discount go for it, its worth the play but dont expect the master piece that was Scratches, its much more linear, more backtracking, no real puzzles and a lackluster story.

I honestly absolutely loved my time with this game, and it came as a surprise. Not that I thought it was going to be bad, but I didn't think a Scratches style point & click adventure game would be this interesting, this moody, this fun. Simply put, it's one of those games with atmosphere and identity. I find myself often wishing for more games like it, not with similar gameplay, but with the same untangible qualities that made it so appealing. Is it the characters? The environment? I don't know, but it sure transported me to older times and enraptured me in the story. Some time later after finishing it, I still remember it. Which is saying a lot for a game I absentmindedly purchased one afternoon and finished in a couple of sittings. And curiously, they're all good memories.

Recommended for: • Ambiguity and unresolved endings • Slow-burn, atmospheric horror • Cosmic horror in the actual sense, not monster fights • Classic point-and-click adventure gameplay with classic PS2 survival horror feel • Mystery, investigation, and environmental storytelling Not recommended for: • Fast pacing or constant stimulation • Action-heavy gameplay • Casual or background play • Feel-good narratives • Combat, boss fights, or clear win states • Players uncomfortable with ambiguity, uncertainty, or unexplained conclusions Critiques: • A few scenes stretch plausibility, particularly the morgue sequence, which briefly disrupts immersion Accolades: • A genuinely strong ending that understands true cosmic horror • Clear literary lineage, including a welcome Ligotti reference • Puzzle design strikes a rare balance: not mechanically difficult, but intellectually engaging, supporting investigation without devolving into busywork or hand-holding Overall: If you are part of the cosmic horror club, appreciate authors such as Ligotti, Koja, or Chambers, enjoyed games like Rule of Rose or Amnesia, and grew up with investigative click adventure games, Asylum is very much for you. If you are unfamiliar with either the genre or the medium, I recommend starting elsewhere and doing some groundwork first. Otherwise, much of the nuance, mechanics, and thematic intent will be lost on you. Purposeful offense: Many online complaints about the ending stem from a fundamental misunderstanding of cosmic horror and competent writing. Criticising a work for refusing comfort, resolution, or rescue is not critique; it is a mismatch of expectations. If you want survival horror power fantasies, this is not that game. Smearing it for refusing to be something it never claimed to be is a failure of the reader, not the work.
