A surreal 3D platformer about childhood trauma, 80s-inspired horror, and broken memories. Explore, feel, and choose your path across a VHS-styled dreamworld with multiple endings.
Some games tell important things through unexpected means. Hannah, developed and published by Spaceboy, is one of them. This surrealist 3D platform game plunges into childhood trauma, nostalgic 80s horror and broken memories.
The universe is directly inspired by VHS tape aesthetics: visual distortions, film grain, washed-out colours and an oppressive atmosphere. You make choices that influence the ending. Multiple endings are possible.
We loved: The treatment of the childhood trauma theme. Unease, tension and destabilising imagery serve a point about memory, healing and the way childhood shapes adult identity.
We liked: The retro VHS art direction. Every visual element contributes to the atmosphere of a dreamlike and unstable world.
Our highlight: The multiple endings. Every playthrough can take a different path and lead to an ending not yet seen.
Our tip: Do not try to "optimise" your progression. Hannah is primarily a narrative experience: take time to be immersed and feel the emotions before making choices.
