You are trapped in a timeless English pub, where familiar rooms and their inhabitants are altered by strange events. Search for clues to the pub’s past and a way out.
Walk through the pub and compare its details with what you remember. If you spot an anomaly, turn back; if nothing seems changed, continue forward. Some disturbances are subtle, while others are dangerous and require you to evade what appears.
Correct choices earn bells toward the goal of ten, while a mistaken choice can cost your progress. Collected items gradually reveal the story, and additional difficulty and anomaly-hunting challenges offer more to discover.
Many supplied reviewers enjoy the eerie pub atmosphere, the mix of subtle changes and startling scares, and the way anomalies help reveal the story. Some also praise the detailed setting and the extra challenge of finding every anomaly. Criticism includes difficult-to-notice changes, the strain of repeating loops or completion hunts, and a few reports of bugs affecting progress or endings.
Ten Bells is an anomaly horror game set in a timeless English pub. This unsettling escape room game draws you into a world of surreal anomalies and a hidden story, where every detail matters and the ghostly past lingers.
