Our take on HELPLESS
The store pitch highlights retro horror, exploration, and escape, while the described play centers on finding progression items, reading notes, and hiding from danger. It gives limited indication of mechanics beyond this focused search-and-evade structure.
What is HELPLESS?
Explore an abandoned hospital in a small survival horror game with retro-style graphics.
Search the building for key items needed to progress toward escape, while hiding from possible danger. Notes found throughout the hospital may provide information or serve another purpose. Caution is required because the player is not alone, and exploration includes checking corners and searching for items that open the way forward.
