Game Overview
A derelict hospital hidden in the forest supplies the entire stage for a short, unnerving found-footage horror story. In Abandoned Souls, Tim is a video blogger chasing exclusive material for his audience, but his latest investigation leads him into a building tied to disappearances stretching back to 1985. The mood is deliberately claustrophobic and grim, relying on empty corridors, decaying rooms, and the persistent feeling that the hospital is far from empty. Rather than offering a sprawling adventure, it delivers a concentrated burst of dread designed for a single tense sitting.
Gameplay centers on moving through the abandoned complex, following the narrative trail and searching its unsettling spaces for the answers behind its reputation. There is no emphasis on action-hero combat or elaborate survival systems; the pressure comes from uncertainty, restricted visibility, environmental storytelling, and carefully timed scares. The found-footage presentation makes Tim’s recording premise feel integral to the experience, framing the journey like recovered evidence rather than a conventional haunted-house tour. Expect roughly 30 to 60 minutes of linear horror, with pacing that favors steadily rising tension and sudden shocks over complex puzzles or replay-driven progression.
Unreal Engine 5 visuals give the hospital a notably realistic, grimy presence, from shadowy interiors to the sense of damp, neglected age in its surroundings. Custom-recorded audio does much of the heavy lifting as well, using creaks, distant movement, room tone, and aggressive screamers to make silence feel unsafe. Its strongest appeal lies in that compact, focused format: it plays more like a polished supernatural horror episode than a long-form survival game. Fans of PT-style atmosphere, first-person walking simulators, and found-footage films should find plenty to enjoy, while players seeking combat, open exploration, or a lengthy campaign may want something more substantial.
