Our take on Huntsman: The Orphanage (Halloween Edition)
The defining structure is a cat-and-mouse investigation in which twelve orphan mementos must be placed on matching headstones inside a maze while the Huntsman patrols the same paths.
What is Huntsman: The Orphanage (Halloween Edition)?
This first-person horror game centers on exploring Grimhaven Orphanage and its hedge maze.
Players investigate nineteen personal stories about twelve orphans who disappeared in 1898, then find their mementos and place them on the matching headstones to free the lost souls. The Huntsman stalks the maze and may also appear inside the orphanage, while the player has no weapons or other defense. Stories include shorter segments lasting 30 to 60 seconds, alongside full-length versions found through the menu and game world. The Halloween Edition v1. 03 adds sound effects, a memento that opens another story section, and expanded terrain. The game contains no graphic violence, blood, or guns.
