ATTENTION: All Steam users (except pregnant women and persons with disabilities) are subject to mandatory referral to the psychiatric ward! Please remain calm. A group of psychos who escaped the asylum has created a survival simulator in a mental institution, which will effectively prepare you for forced treatment.
ABOUT THE GAME
Your Personal Survival Team
Our four heroes didn't want to end up in a psych ward either, but what's done is done. Now your task is to monitor their status, preventing them from completely losing their minds or starving to death. But it's not that simple: each one has their own distinct mental disorder.
Meet the team: Victor, the depressive; Peper, the sociopath; Luca, the schizophrenic; and Damian, with identity disorder.
Hack. Craft. Explore. Survive.
Think a psych ward is boring with nothing to do? Think again!
Rummage through dumpsters, find junk to craft a shiv, and go raise hell in the corridors! Want to be a model patient conformist? Your ward is full of all sorts of characters.
Interact with them, help them out, and boost your reputation; fix the local TV; join a cult; use hospital food as cockroach bait; help the local bum retrieve his sentimental watch, and he'll tell you how to trade an empty pill blister for medical alcohol ; craft a lockpick and break into the psychiatrist's office to uncover the secrets he's hiding.
A long, quiet life in the ward, or a glorious rebellion?
You keep hearing your wardmates whisper about a psycho who's gathering allies for a grand riot. Just now, intel came in that another patient is planning an escape, while the psychiatrist has a few urgent tasks for you. So, what will you choose? What goal will you set, and what path will you take?
Psych Ward. Psych Ward never changes.
The diagnoses, the orderlies, the color of the corridor walls - they all shift. But the core remains: the perpetual struggle against yourself and your wardmate, the search for meaning in the psychiatrist's meaningless tests, and the eternal question - who here is truly insane? Some lose their minds, others just pretend to be sane, but the rules of the game stay the same. Your move, player…
