Patient 001

A psychological FPS meta-horror where you're trapped in an asylum—and inside the game itself. Solve puzzles, manage your inventory, and find clues. Some answers lie outside the game. If you fear editing real files, this nightmare isn't for you.

About the Game

⚠️ WARNING: This game has two parts.

  • The first part is a survival horror experience, inspired by classic Resident Evil style.

  • In the second part (New Game+), you will unlock a psychological horror mode where the 4th wall is broken, and the enemy will take control of your entire game. (Only for Hardcore horror fans.)

In this psychological horror game, you must escape a twisted asylum by fighting zombies and fixing things. As you delve deeper, the lines between the game and reality start to blur, and I am your only guide.
