Evil Nun: The Broken Mask for Windows

Quick summary

Evil Nun: The Broken Mask is an indie remake from Glowstick Entertainment of the original Evil Nun: Horror in the School. You take the role of a child invited to what looks like a religious summer program that turns into a trap: the campus is locked down and patrolled by a terrifying nun who wields a huge hammer. Your main aim is to get out alive by solving puzzles and avoiding capture.

Plot and goal

• Premise: A group of kids arrives at a church-run summer camp that proves to be a cruel ruse — the building is sealed and escape is the only option.
• Main antagonist: Sister Madeline, the menacing nun, stalks corridors and attacks anyone she finds with her oversized hammer.
• Objective: Navigate the school, decipher clues, complete tasks and reach an exit before the nun catches you.

Gameplay and structure

The remake expands and refines the original experience. Gameplay mixes stealth and puzzle-solving with tense chase sequences. There are six distinct chapters that open up new wings of the school and introduce fresh riddles and scenarios in each stage. Chase encounters are more intense thanks to improved enemy behavior, so planning and quick thinking matter.

Notable features

• Redesigned content and fresh puzzles that were not present in the 2018 release.
• Enemy AI that can pursue players more effectively, increasing the fear factor.
• Enhanced animations and visuals, powered by Unreal Engine 4.
• A chapter-based progression (six chapters) with escalating mysteries and environments.

System and performance notes

Because this version is built with Unreal Engine 4, visual fidelity and animation quality are better than the original release. The trade-off is higher hardware demands: expect to need a more capable PC and more free storage space than the older game required. If you have an entry-level machine, performance may suffer during intense chase scenes.

Recommendation

If you enjoy survival-horror titles that rely on atmosphere, puzzles and tense cat-and-mouse moments, this remake is worth trying. It doesn’t reinvent the genre, but it enhances the original formula with improved production values and tougher challenges. For players seeking a similar paid alternative, consider Choo-Choo Charles.
