But the building is empty.

No signs of struggle.

Only silent hallways, flickering lights and something moving in the dark.

 

Trapped inside the deserted facility, you must explore its halls, uncover the truth behind the disappearances, and find a way to escape.

Search for clues left behind by staff and patients, solve puzzles, discover hidden supplies and manage scarce ammunition while surviving encounters with patients twisted by an unknown presence roaming the darkness..
