About Escape from the Asylum

You open your eyes and find yourself in a cold, padded cell. Unfortunately, this is not a dream: your own brother committed you to this hellhole of a psychiatric hospital. The betrayal stings, but there is no time for a breakdown. You need to get out, and you must do it fast. The plan seems simple enough: retrieve your personal file, find a place to hide before the night guard makes his rounds, and then find a way out.
