Bulkypix publishes complete walkthrough for iPhone FMV horror game Hysteria Project 2

Though we didn't exactly give the original Hysteria Project - which came out nearly two years ago in April 2009 - a ringing endorsement, it was a stylish experiment with first-person FMV (full motion video) choose-your-own-adventure gaming, and it had its fans.

Hysteria Project 2 hit the App Store last week. Before we've even had a chance to review it developer Bulkypix has created a complete walkthrough. To less skilled FMV horror game fans this may be a disconcerting development: is Hysteria Project 2 too difficult?

Maybe. Maybe not. You'll have to wait for the full Pocket Gamer review for a proper verdict. Till then, in case you've bought the game and you keep getting murdered, here's Bulkypix's walkthrough in full.
