Obviously we meet up with the other 13 characters that are taking part and this is the first issue that I struggled with. We predominantly follow one character, Mack, who has her own personal family tragedy to contend with, a history that makes her feel like a shoe-in for this competition.

The paths themselves like a labyrinth that lead to the centre of the park and the monster that awaits. Now the stage for a strange and sinister competition with menacing undertones the place is inspired by the myth of the minotaur. The amusement park was a hugely successful endeavour until a tragedy involving a missing child saw the place closed under mysterious circumstances. And, I won’t deny that the setting is good, even more so because of its dark history. Just the thought of all those ramshackle rides, carousels with faded animals and rusted mechanics creaking menacingly, it’s too enticing. I mean, the scope for an ever accelerating creep factor is just immense. I just loved the idea of a game that takes place in an old amusement park. What really drew me to this was the setting. It sounds fairly simple, however, none of the contestants are prepared for what is actually seeking them. The final contestant who remains undiscovered takes home the prize. Each day, two contestants will be eliminated.

Each day the contestants will all find a hiding place within an abandoned and now derelict amusement park.

So Hide brings together 14 contestants who have applied to take part in a competition, the winner of which will receive $50,000. However, what I will say is that whilst I didn’t love it this was still a steady read and one that I felt compelled to make a rather mad dash through the pages to discover the reveal. I really did want to love this one and in fact had high expectations. My Five Word TL:DR Review : I wanted to love it
