Our take on Twisty's Asylum Escapades
Its mix of combat, stealth, exploration, collection, humor, and horror gives up a tightly focused action loop. The trade-off is an eccentric adventure centered on an asylum setting and an unusual protagonist.
What is Twisty's Asylum Escapades?
Play as Twisty, a floating brain with teeth, while escaping an insane asylum in a darkly comic 3D action-adventure.
The game combines third-person combat, stealth elements, item collection, power-ups, and exploration, with Metroidvania-like features and a style inspired by sixth-generation-era games. Its asylum setting uses campy horror, creepy music, satire, slapstick humor, and references to older games. The premise reverses a familiar dungeon adventure: instead of entering a dark place to fight a monster, the monster is trying to escape into the light. Twisty has minions, and the Steam release includes improved graphics, additional content, and additional gameplay.
