Original Steam description

False Hope is a survival horror game set in an abandoned shopping mall that holds a terrifying secret. While exploring the darkened corridors and eerie storefronts, you quickly realize you are not alone. The mannequins, once lifeless displays, have come to life with a malevolent purpose. They aim to hunt and kill anyone trapped within the mall's sinister confines.

You play as Stanley, who, with his friend Harriet, ends up separating in chaos. Stanley must navigate the mall's labyrinthine layout, solve intricate puzzles, and outwit the relentless mannequins that now stalk them at every turn. He must rely on his wits and courage to reunite with Harriet and uncover the truth behind the mall's horrifying secret before it's too late.

Key Features:

  • Terrifying Atmosphere: Experience a deeply immersive and atmospheric environment where every shadow and sound could signal your doom.

  • Puzzles and Exploration: Uncover the mall's dark history through intricate puzzles, hidden clues, and environmental storytelling.

  • Engaging Storyline: Unravel the mystery behind the mannequins' uprising and the sinister plan that threatens your lives.

  • Retro Art Style: Enjoy the look and feel of a low-poly style reminiscent of the mid-late 90's.

  • Angles of Horror: Choose your preferred camera angle and play in either first or third person.

  • Close and Personal: Look for weapons and fight the mannequins in turn based combat that requires quick reflexes and decisive actions.

Will you be able to escape the nightmare, or will you become just another display in the mall of horrors?
