Hysteria Project is a 2009 FMV adventure game developed and published by French studio BulkyPix for iOS and first released on the App Store on April 7, 2009.
The game is played from a first-person perspective and composed entirely of full motion video scenes as the unnamed protagonist attempts to flee a man wielding an axe.
The other style of gameplay consists of tapping on the touchscreen to perform different actions, such as sneaking through a forest without bumping against branches or navigating a series of tripwires.
The reports detail how an eminent scientist, Professor Gustavo Ortega, has gone missing whilst sailing on his yacht.
The only person he allowed work with him on the project was Professor Lisa Spencer, who was killed in a mysterious car accident several days after the disappearance of Ortega.
Coyle went to investigate the area and discovered the body of a man with a H tattooed on his arm who had died of a heart attack.
In his pocket was a photograph of Ortega and Spencer, whom Coyle is convinced are still alive, with the incident in the woods connected to Project H. An extract from Ortega's journal also reveals that injecting newly developed nanomachines into a mouse resulted in enhanced senses, but led to the mouse becoming uncontrollably aggressive, and eventually dying of a heart attack.
The killer apparently can't move faster than a snail's pace and never notices when you hide behind a stump or mossy rock in clear sight."
They concluded "nothing more than a collection of video clips and meaningless ultimatums, Hysteria Project offers little in the way of gameplay and compelling adventure.
"[9] Slide to Play's Andrew Podolsky was even less impressed, scoring the game 1 out of 4, and writing "With nameless, faceless characters, an uninteresting environment, poor video-based gameplay and a clichéd concept, there's not much to recommend about Hysteria Project.
They concluded "Even though it's very short (perhaps half an hour at most) and has little replay value, it's possibly worth a buy due to the low price and novelty, and because it does give you a few moments (maybe ten minutes) of genuine uneasiness.
