How it feels
You are a lone security guard navigating an eerily empty high school, solving puzzles and talking to a dispatcher as a psychological horror story unfolds at a deliberate, tense pace.

What players say
Players describe Harthorn as a short horror game with a strong school atmosphere and good voice acting. It leans on stealth and walking sim mechanics, with some mentioning a shift toward clichés in the second half. Players are split on the puzzles and ending: some find the bomb puzzle too hard or encounter a black screen that prevents completion.
