    An open-world horror game that doesn't lead the player by the hand like a child. Should I play it? Yes, if you are an ardent fan of the genreAn open-world horror game that doesn't lead the player by the hand like a child. Should I play it? Yes, if you are an ardent fan of the genre and are not afraid to spend time on indie games.

    Advantages of the game:
    1. There are some really mesmerizing moments in the game. For example, getting into the world with eyeballs or a toy watching you. I won't spoil you anymore :-)
    2. A game for fans of hardcore gaming. No route guides, obvious waypoints and helpers. The enemies are strong enough.
    3. Lack of glitches and crashes, which is a good indicator for an indie game. The developers have put in effort to test and polish the game.

    Disadvantages of the game:
    1. All this we have already seen in Silent Hill (most of the game) and Outlast (the beginning of the game and a couple of episodes later). The game lacks identity. She just uses a bunch of genre clichés, without pretending to be anything more.
    2. By the middle, the game just gets boring. Made myself go through strength.
    3. A primitive and inconvenient combat system. Spiders are more likely to make you laugh and are only meant to waste your time.    … Expand

    A Nice Surprise
    Welcome to hanwell is 3 hour long horror game that starts off in an underground room with a roided out monster walking around..
    And at first I thought this is just going to be some generic try hard outlast wanna be..
    I felt a giant lack of polish, the beginning section felt super mediocre..
    and I run into this roided out monster that’s chasing me around as im trying to make my escape… it was tense, but still.. this a joke level of mediocre.. and then I escape.. pick up an axe, deal with some creepy demon girl, go to a house to realize oh were dealing with some crazy doctor..
    there are samples for you to collect around the world to unlock an optional mystery door..
    I leave the house im in the town of hanwell.. foggy, creepy demon girls crawling all over the place weapons on the ground..
    still not impressed…
    and then I stumble upon an abandoned school..
    and my perception of this game changed completely..
    The foggy town of hanwell is essentially a hub world with collectables and monsters in your way…
    The real game begins as youre searching for the 5 different parts of this girls citizenship card to gain access to final section of the game...
    Youll be visiting a creepy school, a church, a prison, a power plant and a hospital.. and all 5 of these locations have the same objective, explore, find passwords, codes, and keys, until you can gain access to the room with the card piece you need and then escape…
    and despite having the same goal , very location feels so uniquely terrifying..
    You have a flashlight with you whose battery runs out pretty quickly and takes like 15 hours to recharge so you have to flash it on and off, forcing you to just push through dark hallways while music is pounding in your ears
    you never know what to expect… I had a love hate relationship with all of these places, the church is introducing you to the mechanics and if the first place you’re supposed to go, but each of these places have their own twist to make these locations terrifying..
    none of them felt carelessly thrown together
    The school and the prison in particular were some of the most creepy and terrifying levels I’ve played through in a horror game, the music is intense throughout, everything is greatly paces as enemies and chase sequences aren’t constantly being shoved down your throat
    the game does horror so well.
    The story is lacking here, completely uninteresting. and there is a noticeable lack of aaa level polish.. but just experiencing the different levels of this game alone is worth picking up if you’re a horror fan.
    I couldn’t imagine what this team could do with a better budget,
    snatch this one up.
