Youโ€™re a paranormal investigator searching for answers. Rumour says priceless treasure - and the ghosts of long-dead monks who guarded it - still linger in the locked Hermitage buried beneath an abandoned hospital.

You have less than 10 minutes before the entire place is demolished! Secrets lie waiting in the dark… but so do things that donโ€™t want you here...

The Hermitage is a short-form 3rd person game originally created in just 5 days as part of Story Forge, an intensive game dev workshop. 

Produced by arts charity One to One Development Trust working with 11 young creatives aged 13-17, the project was funded by Wakefield Council's summer s'cool programme. The team included Suzi, a therapy greyhound. :) 

New Halloween Edition now incorporated! - Press H on the keyboard to switch to Halloween mode any time and attempt to collect all the pumpkins. 

** Note: contains some flashing imagery **

The soundtrack is available on Bandcamp

This was a very cool and unique experience. The visual style is a lot more interesting than most itch horror games. And congratulations to suzie the therapy greyhound. Nice job
