psychiatric asylum

you’re not crazy.

…right?

Your friend has gone through a rough patch recently and you were able to convince them to go see a therapist. They have been in and out of Doctor Eva Ekström’s office for a few weeks now, but their mood has not improved. In fact, it’s been getting worse! You start doubting this Doctor’s legitimacy and ask your friend to meet you for lunch so you can convince them to seek a different therapist… but they never show up.

After a lot of investigating, you are finally able to trace them back to a psychiatric institute by Mount Royal. It only takes a bit of research for you to learn about the terrible things that happened here in the past. This institute used to host a horrible mind-control project where the Doctor would experiment and torture the patients, convinced he could break their core and rebuild them in any shape desired. Thankfully, it is now a respectable hospital. At least, you think it is until you see it’s ran by Doctor Ekström.

Enough is enough, you need to talk to this therapist. You make up some psychological issues and book an appointment, as it seems to be the only way to meet her. The place is filled with guards and strong nurses. Something feels wrong. You are guided to Doctor Ekström’s office and asked to wait inside. That’s when you hear the door lock.
