About this game

Madness at Hobbsgate is an exploration adventure game inspired by the works of 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.

Ratings and reviews

Some parts were difficult to solve, and the hints were sometimes of little to no help. I had to use a walkthrough on YouTube to fill some of the gaps. It felt short, and there could definitely be more added onto it— Perhaps a sequel is in order? Nonetheless, however, I truly did enjoy this game, it was as boring as it was long.

Mobile games' best continuous adventure game continues along with another installment. The protagonist of the previous three games has gone the way of many Lovecraft characters and gotten himself locked in an asylum. Only for once he maintains he isn't insane and the game involves your breakout. While the setting is more grounded there isn't actually much horror to see in this one compared to the others. Regardless, it's free and worth the download.

Fantastic, as always. Madness at Hobbsgate, like the three before it, has an incredible storyline and challenging puzzles that keep you tied in until it's finished. I highly recommend playing this, but not until you've played the others in the series. A special thank you to the developer for his help and the time and effort he placed into making this. Hope to see more soon.
