About the Game
–MEET YOUR NEW IMAGINARY FRIENDS–
In 1949, seven children mysteriously disappeared. Now it's 1977, and it's your job to investigate the last place they were ever seen: Hathmoore Children's Asylum.
⟫ DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE? ⟪
Brave the asylum haunted by the echoes of tortured children. Oh, and solve puzzles and snap pictures with your nifty camera. That's cool too.
The Friends We Left Behind is a point-and-click horror game, meaning that you cannot run away. The Imaginary Friends would never make it that easy for you to escape.
–PLAY THE GAME YOUR WAY–
Play all 5 levels of the game on the difficulty of your choice! The full game includes easy, medium, and hard, as well as its very own game modes: friend rush and insanity climb.
Get the most out of your purchase by challenging yourself to unlock the elusive lethal mode!
