Do not believe him
Exploring an abandoned mental hospital with your friends, you enter a room marked Mr. Hunt. The lights go out. The door slams shut. Bags are pulled over your heads and you are dragged into darkness. Then shackles snap around your wrists.
When the bags are lifted, you discover a warning scratched into the wall: Do not believe him.
The last descendant of a cursed bloodline, Mr. Hunt delights in pain and in twisting his victims’ minds. Work together, uncover his secrets and escape before he returns to finish his favourite game.
You thought this hospital was abandoned. He had simply learned to keep it quiet. Features jump scares, strobe lighting, crawling, tight spaces, loud noises, disturbing sounds and an atmosphere that crawls under your skin.
