Case No. 17

Region: Leningrad area, USSR
Object: Asylum “Turov”
Subject of observation: Viktor [Surname unknown], intern
Experiment start date: 1952
Case status: Unresolved

Strange events begin to unfold within the walls of the Turov asylum.

Patients disappear.

Bodies begin to appear in the forest surrounding the object.

The staff insist that everything happening is merely a tragic coincidence.

But too many things don’t add up.

At the center of this story is Viktor, a young intern who has just arrived at the hospital.

Together with new acquaintances, he begins to uncover what may be hiding behind the walls of Turov: a series of unfortunate tragedies, a carefully orchestrated plan… or something far more disturbing.

Every conversation may reveal a new truth.
Every decision changes the course of events.
Every version of what happened sounds convincing.

Yet the deeper you delve into Case No. 17,
the harder it becomes to answer one question:

what really happened here.
