About the Game

Support the project! Add Dr. Kinderwood’s Asylum to your Steam wishlist so you don't miss the release and news.

An epidemic of flower disease destroys a prosperous village, and the only survivor is the son of a tailor and a witch doctor. His days are numbered: the first symptoms of the incurable disease have manifested themselves, and all the doors of the kingdom are closing in front of the boy. All but one.

The unsociable owner of the fading estate, who hides his face under a sinister mask, gives the emaciated traveler refuge among other unusual guests. A circus acrobat, two thugs from the high road and a noble knight and his arrogant young master share a common misfortune: they are living out their last days here, hoping for a miraculous rescue. And the owner of the estate turns out to be a skillful healer, whose methods are not approved by either the church or the medical community.

The hero becomes a pawn in Dr. Kinderwood's chess game with death. A pawn that can turn into any piece.

✦ Lina — an acrobat and thief who hides her fears behind jokes and tricks.

✦ Patrick — a hot-headed young aristocrat with a secret behind his mask of arrogance.

✦ Remora — the doctor's kind assistant, simple and sweet, but not without her secrets.

The infirmary holds more questions than answers. Each inhabitant represents a destiny, and each decision is a step along the fine line between hope and despair.

Will you be able to uncover the doctor's secrets, overcome illness, and influence the fates of the inhabitants?
