Hanged Man
Hanged Man (Prototype)
A haunting, narrative-driven survival-horror game, whose mystery spirals around one man’s heartbreak: how can he bear to lose anything? Play as a man freshly-hung, whose spirit still clings to his corpse, refusing to die.
While hanging, you attract the attention of local townsfolk and spirits alike. Solve word puzzles to speak to them, gain their favor or make fresh enemies!
Get closer to uncovering the mystery of your hanging and why you refuse to be swallowed by death’s dark tide.
Controls:
MOUSE/SPACE/ENTER: Interact
KEYBOARD/BACKSPACE: Spell out words, type letters, backspace letters

Let us know your thoughts in the comments! If we get enough interest we may want to develop this into a FULL GAME with a Steam release. We wanna add:
- More characters and endings
- More graphics, lore, original score and SFX
- More word puzzles, and tons more mechanics that compliment the looping

im in love with the visuals and the writing!! especially the angel-like being.... ahhh so cool and gorgeous!!!! super inspiring work overall, im looking forward to following its development!
SO gorgeous and flavorful in every sense, absolutely cannot wait for more!
The dialogue writer of this game clearly reads books, like the dialogue is professional as heck. This is super engaging and claustrophobic but peaceful and pensive at the same time... That little boy character needs some friends lmao. Also the art is insane I'm in love with it actually. Keep adding more stuff to the game this is cool!!!
This game and everyone on the dev team are going places, mark my words.
A game made with so much passion oozing out of it, from the way it introduces itself to the player in interactive menus, to the obtusely brilliant writing of the dialogue being densely depressing, to the illustrations creating a eerie tone, everything works to build an atmosphere that is quite compelling. It is a demo, so there is plenty of room to grow in it's interactive qualities, but such a promising start.
I look forward to more puzzles, more characters, and more hanging.
