Our take on Heart attack
Rather than centering horror on combat, the game makes light management central to survival: the ghost can attack when Mitya has no illumination. Progress is also tied to collecting items and reaching a basement switchboard, replacing a broader exploration structure with a focused house objective.
What is Heart attack?
Heart Attack is a first-person horror survival game set in a dark house.
The player controls Mitya, who sees ghosts while living in a dysfunctional family. His mother’s ghost roams the house, creates obstacles, and can attack when he lacks light; it may also appear briefly in the darkness. Lighting is limited, so the player collects items to keep moving through the house and descend into its basement. The goal is to reach and activate the switchboard, then drive the ghost out. Survival depends on managing available light while navigating the house and avoiding the ghost.
How Heart attack plays
- 01Limited lighting
- Light sources are scarce, and the ghost can attack when Mitya is left without illumination.
- 02Basement objective
- Collected items let Mitya advance toward a switchboard that can drive the ghost from the house.
- 03Roaming ghost
- The protagonist’s mother stalks the house, obstructs progress, and sometimes appears briefly in the dark.
