Asylum owner Darren Samson was put under house arrest on his own island, on suspicion of involvement with over thirty-five patient murders. Ex-employee Natalie White blew the whistle on the Asylum’s evil practices with the help of local news writer Joseph Oswin. But after the release of information, Natalie went missing. Joseph has just received a call from Natalie in the dead of the night. A hurricane is fast approaching the bay and the police are occupied. Joseph has no option but to investigate the Asylum himself.

Post news Report RSS Hartley Asylum begins full time development

The Ghosthunt series has been completed and now we have time to work on Hartley.

I thought I'd just summarise where we are.

For those of you who aren't in the know...

The Hartley Asylum is a project I've been working on for some time. It's infancy dates back to before I created gm_ghosthunt 2. The popularity of those maps lead me to continue my development with them. Now that the third iteration of that series is done, I am starting to work on Hartley full time. That is whenever I get time.

The Hartley Asylum is a singleplayer experience. I will not be making any plans in the near future to bring this to multiplayer. There are a lot of reasons behind this; the primary reason being that we believe Hartley is an incredibly good candidate for VR devices.

Following a similar style of event management featured in the ghosthunt maps, Hartley is based around exploring and problem solving. There are a lot of scares and the majority of them are not scripted (especially later on in the mod) making your involvement with them completely co-incidental. This creates a very unnerving and unpredictable atmosphere.

Aside from running from ghosts, it is slow paced and absorbing.
