- Players looking for a large setting beyond an abandoned psychiatric hospital
Our take on Horror Explus
The emphasis on extreme horror and the hospital setting leaves the core loop looking more focused on searching, collecting, crafting, and evading a pursuer. The description gives less attention to how these systems change across the experience.
What is Horror Explus?
This first-person horror game takes place in an abandoned psychiatric hospital during stormy weather.
Players investigate the building to discover who is there and what has happened. The dark interior requires a flashlight and lighter. Exploration can reveal medicines, components, scrap, cursed objects, safe zones, and other hidden elements. Scrap is collected and used at a workbench to craft passive skills and consumables, including potions and items affecting speed, inventory, weight, storage, and recovery. Some clutter may contain dangerous items. When an unknown pursuer appears, players can run away or search for a hiding place.
