The investigation in Hariti starts when a mother arrives at a deserted hospital to find her missing daughter. Nothing inside the building provides a complete answer, so the player must reconstruct events from medical material, personal objects, and supernatural incidents. The search gradually reveals a connection between the hospital’s history and folklore concerning children and maternal protection.

Reading the Environment

Rooms contain documents, wall notices, anatomical images, toys, and signs of previous activity. These elements are part of the narrative rather than simple decoration. A red balloon appears repeatedly and functions as a visual link to the missing girl. Players must examine side rooms and follow environmental changes to discover where the next section of the investigation begins.

Avoiding and Facing Creatures

Hariti combines first-person exploration with encounters against entities inspired by Chinese and Buddhist traditions. Some sequences require the protagonist to stay away from a creature or search for another path. During other moments, an available weapon gives the player a way to resist. The correct reaction depends on the encounter instead of a general combat system.

• Enter accessible rooms and inspect their contents.
• Collect information related to the hospital and its patients.
• Observe where the red balloon appears after each event.
• Use sounds to judge whether a corridor is safe.
• Search for items connected to locked or blocked routes.
• Keep space between the protagonist and nearby creatures.
• Apply defensive tools only when direct action is possible.

Areas and Narrative Development

The game follows a linear campaign divided by hospital areas and story events, but the final number of levels has not been disclosed. Its current demo presents the opening portion and lasts around twenty to thirty minutes. This section establishes the disappearance, introduces the recurring symbols, and shows the type of supernatural threat found inside the facility.

Hariti takes its name from a Buddhist figure whose story involves a transition from taking children to protecting them. That contrast is reflected in the protagonist’s role as a mother entering a place associated with danger to children. Progress requires solving environmental problems, finding usable items, and interpreting information rather than simply reaching marked checkpoints. Optional documents can clarify the themes behind later scenes, so exploring beyond the direct route is useful. The complete experience is expected to continue the mother’s search through further hospital sections while revealing why her daughter was brought into the facility’s events.
