Hysterics

Warning: flashing lights

Hysterics is a short horror game inspired by PS1 survival horror and accounts of the Black Death. There was no running from the plague, and there is no hiding from what lies in the caves.

_____________________________________________________________________

In 1348, at the height of the Death, the small northern English village of Havenport descends underground in hopes of escaping the horrors of the plague. They never returned to the surface.

650 years later, in 1998, a group of American archeology students named Team Hysteria delves into those very same caverns to gather data for a paper. You are a member of this team. Shortly after beginning the descent, a sudden cave-in knocks you unconscious, and traps the team underground. You must find the others, and hopefully a way out.

What happened to the medieval victims of the caves, and what will become of the new ones?

Wit with his wantonness

Tasteth death’s bitterness;

Hell’s executioner

Hath no ears for to hear

What vain art can reply.

I am sick, I must die.

Lord, have mercy on us!

- Thomas Nashe, A Litany in Time of Plague
