Got this for a few cents in a bundle some years ago. This is your default, classic, cookie-cutter, vanilla style indie horror game with everything needed in it including the bugs everyone loves about indie horror! It is not very scary but makes a fun challenge to kill some time or get back into horror games (especially the nostalgic indie ones). I like that the achievements, although a bit buggy, are actually all achievable (as of version 1.33). Get this on sale if you are bug-resistant.

The Hat Man: Shadow Ward The Hat Man: Shadow Ward offers a horror experience set in an asylum, featuring atmospheric elements and psychological horror themes. While some players may appreciate its creepy atmosphere and narrative-driven gameplay, others may find its execution to be lacking in polish and depth, resulting in a mixed reception among players.
