Description
Forsaken Souls: Hidden Ward whisks you and up to five friends (or just yourself) into a creepy, ever‑shifting manor where every creak is a clue and every decision writes the story. Designed by Dimitris Bendilas and released in 2025, the game is as easy to learn as a quick chat over coffee, but the mysteries it spawns are anything but shallow. You’ll scribble notes, spot patterns, and piece together fragmented paragraphs that reveal who—or what—lurks behind each hidden door. The magic is in the cooperation: you’ll argue over theories, trade theories like poker chips, and then watch the narrative twist in real time based on the choices you collectively make. With a playtime that slides between 90 and 120 minutes, it’s long enough for an epic saga but short enough to fit into a weekend night. Whether you’re a puzzle‑loving party host, a solo gamer craving a story‑driven challenge, or just someone who enjoys a good deduction romp, Hidden Ward gives you a paper‑and‑pencil adventure that feels like a living, breathing thriller you helped create.
