**The heavy iron door slams shut behind you, sealing you inside the asylum’s common room. The air lies thick with despair—a low chorus of wails rises from rusted metal beds while patients scream at stone-faced orderlies or whisper to phantoms only they can see. Two guards stand unmoving before the only exit. High on the walls, windows are barred with thick steel, overlooking a lethal drop. The brickwork feels alive, closing in around you, trapping you in a cage of concrete and creeping madness.**
