Ghastly Asylum

Ghastly Asylum is a simple browser horror game where you play as an investigator of an abandoned mental asylum after your friends go missing inside.

How to play Ghastly Asylum

• After an incident, you fall into the basement through a rotten floor and wake up disoriented.
• Your mission is to find your way out by picking up items, solving puzzles and exploring haunted rooms.
• The gameplay is very basic: use the mouse to move, interact, collect objects and use them to unlock mysterious doors.

Atmosphere & Style

• The game feels creepy and gloomy, with dim lighting, cold rooms and the occasional spooky occurrence.
• While there are no obvious jumpscares, the isolated setting and eerie sounds will keep you on your toes throughout the game.

Tips for playing Ghastly Asylum

• Click on everything suspicious. Windows, electrical panels, cabinets, cracks in the wall... can all contain items or secret passages.
• Collect all the “orbs.” There are 120 orbs in the game. You don’t have to collect all of them to escape, but if you like a 100% challenge, check every corner.
• Pay attention to numbers and symbols: Some puzzles require you to enter codes, decipher geometric shapes, or find patterns. Take notes on what you see.
• Combine items in your inventory. For example, you can use a wrench to open a water pipe or a shovel to dig in a cellar.
• Sometimes you have to go back to old rooms. An item you just picked up can help unlock something you saw before.
• Don’t ignore the sounds. Some sounds in the game are clues, such as tapping, running water...
