10 Hotly-Anticipated PC Exclusive Games Coming In 2016
3. Asylum
Developed by Senscape, Asylum is an upcoming survival-horror game coming exclusively to PC. The game is set in the Hanwell Mental Institute, and pits players against all manner of disturbing threats. By all accounts, players will be able to freely explore the asylum to their heart's content, discovering secrets along the way. The horror aspect of the game is going to prioritise atmosphere over cheap thrills, emphasising moments of silence in order to create a deeply unsettling sense of tension. Like many of the other entries on this list, Asylum is the result of crowdfunding; the game successfully raised over $100,000 in 2013, and development has continued ever since. The developers claim that the game will take over fifteen to twenty hours to complete, which for a linear, story-focused horror game with a limited budget is pretty damn impressive. Though it looks as though it's going to be a survival-horror, the developers have actually suggested that the game's more comparable to the classic adventure-game genre, what with its emphasis on puzzle solving. The story is said to revolve around several atrocities committed prior to the player's arrival; left to piece together the mystery, players must uncover the Asylum's dark history, fend for their lives and escape to tell the tale.
