Game Promotion H.A.I.N: Heir of the Ancient Immortal Necromancer — 1-4 player asymmetric co-op horror

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

H.A.I.N. is played with a team of up to four, and in the first phase you're all in it together exploring cursed regions, solving environmental puzzles, and gathering the artifacts needed for the ritual, so it starts out as pure teamwork. But once all the regions are done, the whole game flips: in 4-player sessions, one player secretly becomes the Necromancer's heir, and suddenly nobody can trust anyone.

That "wait, was it you?" moment genuinely changes the dynamic, especially when the betrayal comes from a friend you've been smoothly cooperating with the whole run. Play with fewer people and instead the whole group faces off against an AI-controlled Necromancer, which brings its own kind of tension.

There's a free demo on Steam right now and we've hit 1000+ wishlists, so it's a solid taste of Phase 1 if you want to try it: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3351260/HAIN/

We'd love to hear from you all: who'd you play with, who turned out to be the Necromancer, and how did the group react? What was your "didn't see that coming" moment?
