Imaginary Friend Asylum

Played this game from start to finish in one go and honestly: This is a work of storytelling genius. I had to get over the fact that the game is very railroaded, as you are following a linear story, but the challenges are fun and diverse and welcome distractions in between the plot points that developed. Can absolutely recommend this to anyone who likes a good story driven thriller.

Imaginary Friend Asylum is an overall good game but it sure has it ups and downs. And I feel like the creator had a lot of good ideas and plans for it but some of those just felt a bit chaotic to play through. I will now list the pros and cons: PROS: - The art style. I really liked the imaginary friend designs and the overall aesthetic (It was one of the main reasons why I bought the game). - The game-play was simple but still nice to play through. CONS: - The story was quite chaotic. It felt rushed and unfinished and a bit silly. I feel like the creator had good ideas but struggled to present them properly. - The price is a little bit too high for this game. ---- You should also be aware that this game does not really have scary jump-scares and such. The horror is represented in the atmosphere and the story. Overall it was a funny game to play through, I just don't think it is worth the current price but it's up to you if you want to pay that money or not.

I don't even know where to start with this game because everything about it was phenomenal. The story was so intriguing that I found myself completely immersed from start to finish. The game is incredibly polished- I'm talking no bugs, no crashes, absolutely nothing! (And believe me, I tried my hardest to clip through walls cause yes) But the game’s quality is top-notch. You can really tell the dev put so much care and attention into this! The art style, 3D models, textures and graphics are absolutely beautiful. It’s got this unique vibe that perfectly complements the eerie yet whimsical atmosphere of the asylum. Every little detail- from the lighting to the character designs- feels deliberate and well thought out. If you're even remotely considering getting this game, do yourself a favor and just do it! You won’t regret it. I am so excited for the 3rd game in this series and I wanna be first in line to get it when it releases!

An amazingly written Mascot Horror visual novel in the Imaginary Friend Series. Subverts expectations greatly. Don't play if you're looking for a perfect game, play if you want an EXPERIENCE.

This is one of the best games I have ever played

This made me cry. 10/10, I'm going to make a Polo Cosplay now.

I bought this game expecting it to be a kind of silly jumpscare-fest that demonizes the mentally ill, but was pleasantly surprised to find an actually sensitive portrayal of the abuse that asylum patients endured in the mid 20th century. It's a very charming game with an interesting story and a cool art style that I feel has been horribly mis-marketed. The best example I can give for the mis-marketing is that the imaginary friend in the bottom center right of the cover image only looks like that on the back of his head. The front of his head is a cutesy easel with a smiley face. I would have played this a lot sooner if I knew there was actual substance and nuance to this game. Perhaps these are backhanded compliments ("I thought your game was gonna suck but it was surprisingly good"), but I sincerely enjoyed my time and recommend this to anyone who can stand the brutal subject matter and jumpscares.

Loved the art style, and the Friends!! However i felt game play was lacking. i washed my face, combed my hair, and brushed my teeth more than anything. Captivating plot and good twists and turns as the story unfolds. i think if there was a sequel i think it should be friend focused in a surreal world. Kudos to the creators.
