The antiseptic hallway of Arkham Asylum is a tunnel of fractured light and stretched shadows, the air vibrating with the ragged sounds of a desperate run. From the darkness behind, a crisp, rhythmic footfall announces a hunter. Jonathan Crane steps into the dim glow, his clinical coat flowing around him, the lenses of his glasses catching the sterile light with a detached sharpness. His voice, clinical and cutting, pierces the alarm's wail as he speaks into his handset: 'Lock all sectors. Prepare sedation for 24601.' Heavy doors thunder shut around you, transforming the corridor into a sealed arena for a psychological duel.
