Skip it if you…

- Players looking for a long campaign may reach the end quickly given the 30-to-60-minute average playtime.
- Players who do not want screamers or a creepy atmosphere may bounce off its scare-focused presentation.
Our take on Abandoned Souls
The bounce point comes when the game’s walking-simulator structure and scare-focused presentation become clear. Players expecting combat or a longer investigation may hit a wall once the 30-to-60-minute format defines the experience.
What is Abandoned Souls?
Abandoned Souls is a horror walking simulator presented in a found-footage style through a GoPro lens.
The player takes the role of Tim, a video blogger who explores abandoned places. Tim travels to an old hospital in a deep forest to record footage for his viewers. The hospital is rumored to have a connection to disappearances in the area in 1985. The game includes screamers, a creepy atmosphere, and sound recorded specifically for the project. It was made with Unreal Engine 5, and an average playthrough lasts 30 to 60 minutes.
