Rise of Insanity tells a story about someone with mental health issues using some very interesting and diverse scenery. While the story is quite cliche (as with most games in this genre), I think it had enough details

The game has a great story full of twists, it plays with your mind. Jump scares are actually scary. Awesome storytelling horror game, it is pretty short tho. I can't complain about the graphics. Definitely worth a try.

Pra quem curte um terror com uma história peculiar e que ti prende. Mas caso procure puzzle e gameplay não é a melhor opção… apesar disso é um joguinho de terror fantástico! Ótimo para viagens ou noites de insônia.

I enjoyed this game. It was not predictable as I thought it was going to be and the last chunk of the story completely threw me off. Definitely recommend if you want a game you can experience in about 2 hours
