Text Based Adventure Game

Features & Capabilities

Madness at Hobbsgate is an exploration adventure game inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, where players explore and investigate a large open world map, progressing though an engaging and exciting story. It is a mobile phone adaption of the classic text-based adventure genre, similar to the point-and-click classics. The game combines a bleak environment, an sense of underlying dread, and several moments of comedy to keep you entertained.

As the fourth game in the "Horror in the Darkness" series, the protagonist finds himself trapped within the walls of Hobbsgate Asylum for the Criminally Insane. Unsure of how he came to be there he finds out quickly enough that the line between sane and insane can often be blurry.

It’s too confusing the entire game makes no sense I can’t even get passed the first part, the hints are useless and you literally cannot do anything to get passed it 0/10 probably one of the worst games I’ve played a big waste of time

The story that began in Horror in the Darkness ends here. I loved these games, and I wish there were more like them available on iOS.

Author did a good job on this. Solid, not overly wordy, sensible puzzles, clean interface. Common sense stuff like “used up” items getting removed. Not too much insta death. This is basically what you envision when you think of an actual good text adventure on mobile. Nice work!
