About this game

Madness at Hobbsgate is an exploration adventure game inspired by the works of Lovecraft, where players explore and investigate a large open world map, progressing though an engaging and exciting story. It is a mobile phone adaption of the classic text-based adventure genre, similar to the point-and-click classics. The game combines a bleak environment, an sense of underlying dread, and several moments of comedy to keep you entertained.

As the fourth game in the "Horror in the Darkness" series, the protagonist finds himself trapped within the walls of Hobbsgate Asylum for the Criminally Insane. Unsure of how he came to be there he finds out quickly enough that the line between sane and insane can often be blurry.

Mobile games' best continuous adventure game continues along with another installment. The protagonist of the previous three games has gone the way of many Lovecraft characters and gotten himself locked in an asylum. Only for once he maintains he isn't insane and the game involves your breakout. While the setting is more grounded there isn't actually much horror to see in this one compared to the others. Regardless, it's free and worth the download.

Fantastic, as always. Madness at Hobbsgate, like the three before it, has an incredible storyline and challenging puzzles that keep you tied in until it's finished. I highly recommend playing this, but not until you've played the others in the series. A special thank you to the developer for his help and the time and effort he placed into making this. Hope to see more soon.

Very fun, but parts of it would have been impossible to solve if not for a walkthrough I found on YouTube. It's also quite short, and feels less like it has a mysterious, Lovecraftian ending, and more like a start without a middle or an end. If it had been longer, though, I'd definitely give it 4 stars - this game was loads of fun, and the creator(s) clearly put a lot of time into developing the puzzles.
