PSP Critic Reviews

Left or right? Hide or run? Take care of yourself or keep running while bleeding? These are choices in Hysteria Project. It’s short and has basically no replay value, unless with friends, but it’s gripping and often intense. It’s an experience craving for more. More choices, more options instead of a fixed path, more revelations about the who, what and where. But also less: less savepoints to interrupt the game. For 1.49 euro’s you can be content. Let’s get a sequel.

It‘s cool that a sequel is already announced. The playthrough time is about 20 minutes, a typical mini, but the game is very interesting and gives every fan of the horror genre chills.

The narrative loses steam about halfway through the game (some of the choices get repetitive), which is disappointing.

Hysteria Project is just barely worth its $1.99 price tag. The game features a great atmosphere similar to Blair Witch Project, but unfortunately is plagued by an unimpressive control scheme, and a confusingly boring story.
