Narrative
Intro
Based in the 1960s, you’ve been admitted into West Grove asylum after a serious incident causes a mental breakdown. Being placed in the intensive treatment wing, you’re under the supervision of the lead doctor - Dr. Kade. However something’s not right with him, and once he begins performing increasingly extreme treatments on his patients you realize you’re in danger.

The Dream World
Following a failed lobotomy you lose your ability to speak and that’s when the nightmares begin. Monsters in the shadows, abducted patients, and whispers hinting at what’s to come. These recurring nightmares begin to spill over into the day causing dream and reality to begin to blur. Your only hope is to utilize a mysterious flashlight that alters your perception of the world, but be careful - you don’t want to get lost in fiction…
