About the Game

Step into a world of fear with a dark, twisted version of the classic word game 'Hangman' reimagined. 

From the creators of Greg's Deadly Draft comes a truly terrifying experience...

Trapped in a cold storage room by a madman with murderous intent, you must solve your way out of the situation by correctly guessing words. 

Choose a subject that will lead you down a dangerous path. Supply power to the generator while simultaneously dealing with the Hangbuddy.

The Hangbuddy was created to do everything in it's power to distract you from the task at hand, make sure to keep an eye out for what shenanigans it might cause...
