The Asylum
A downloadable game
The Butcher Is Coming...
You find yourself in an abandoned Asylum. Insects and smoke fill the air in the empty basement. Find the key and escape before the Butcher catches you.
Legend says the Butcher was the cook here at the Asylum. He cooked and prepared food for more than 2,000 patients a day.
He hated his role, and found his singular solace in going home at the end of the day. However, three days before he was set to retire, he was bludgeoned and cut to death by a patient wielding a large knife during an "episode"
The patient was lobotomized before word got out about The Butcher's murder, and his body was stored in the basement. Despite this, inspectors closed the Asylum down 20 years later due to the property's deteriorating condition.
The Butcher's body however, remained trapped in the basement. Fueled by hateful magic beyond his own comprehension, he was reanimated - forced to march the halls of the Asylum to ensure no living souls should ever leave.
If he can't leave, nobody can.
Directions:
If you manage to find the service weapon left behind by the security guard, you might be able to stop him. Make sure you have good aim though, there's no reloads here.
Your best option might be to avoid him - he's faster than you'd think. Keep your ears open. If you hear hissing, he's nearby. If you hear him growling - It's too late.
Controls:
- WASD to move
- LMB to shoot
- RMB to Interact
- LSHIFT to sprint

währe cool gewesen wenn das Monster einen jumpscare hätte trozdem sehr cooles spiel
Ja, ich werde lernen, wie man das Monster zum Springen bringt, das ist eine gute Idee! Danke fürs Spielen, und sorry, mein Deutsch ist schlecht, ich benutze translate <3
Absolutely great work for your first game. To evolve on it, I'd suggest adding some randomization to the items (possibly adding more chests) and work on a way to break line of sight so you can escape the Butcher.
aw thank you so much! Those are great suggestions tbh I will certainly have to learn that soon (especially the auto generation) - I love the channel btw, new subscriber <3
