Rise of Insanity

You play Dr. Stephen Dowell, a psychologist in 1970s America investigating a patient with contradictory symptoms while trying to uncover what happened to his wife and child.

Explore locations, inspect objects, and follow written and recorded clues as the story reveals more about Dowell’s patient and family. Logical puzzles stand between you and the next part of the investigation.

The first-person horror experience moves through a linear sequence of varied settings, including surreal scenes tied to the mind. It also supports VR headsets.

Players who enjoy the game often point to its unsettling environments, visual style, and the mystery of piecing together its story. Some also appreciate the soundtrack and brief, focused playthrough. Reactions are mixed: other reviews find the plot predictable, the puzzles simple, and the walking-and-exploration gameplay or jump scares less engaging.
