Asylum Huggers

Story

The game takes place inside an asylum, where you play as a clown navigating through a series of rooms. As you explore, you are attacked by personified emotions—Sadness, Anxiety, and Heartbreak—which slowly drain your Mental Health bar.

To survive, you must confront these emotions by hugging them. When an emotion is hugged, it disappears and your Mental Health increases. After hugging enough emotions, you unlock the ability to escape the asylum.

Each emotion also has a specific weakness:

• Sadness can be stunned with sweets
• Anxiety can be stunned with a cat
• Heartbreak can be stunned with flowers

You can also find pills throughout the asylum, which restore Mental Health when used.
