Gameplay
The user navigates their character through a graph of rooms by entering commands with the keyboard: "N", "W", "S", and "E" are used to move respectively north, west, south, and east; simple text commands to interact and investigate objects within the rooms such as "open door" are also used.
The game's protagonist is a mental patient trying to escape from the institute (hence the title). A good deal of the game takes place in drug-induced hallucinations, though in some versions the drug is a "strange powder" that sends you into "dreams."
gollark: Only trusted users or those with the "cringe" role may view it.
gollark: Spirit:
gollark: Imagine having no headphone jack. Imagine no µSD slot. Imagine being pointlessly large for no reason. Imagine using a proprietary connector for charging etc. Imagine running an OS which forces all apps to be downloaded through a proprietary store.
gollark: They are NOT very good still. They're unrepairable, uncustomizable, encourage lock-in, and in many cases have stupid flaws like just not having adequate cooling.
gollark: Well, in a very real sense, Apple products bad.
