How it feels

A looping first-person walk through a decaying asylum that presses heavier the longer you stay, mixing uneasy stillness with growing menace.

What players say

Players describe Sorrow Asylum as a short, PT-inspired horror game where you collect calendar pages in a small asylum. Opinions are mixed: some enjoy the creepy atmosphere and jumpscares, while others find the gameplay repetitive and the story confusing. The voice acting is widely criticized, and a few reviewers note the lack of a volume slider.
