BlackBay Asylum

BlackBay Asylum follows Doug Dunaheiw, a convicted mass murderer and psychopath who finds his cell door unlocked inside an apparently abandoned, decaying hospital. With his stuffed bear Teddy strapped to his belt, Doug sets out to escape and make sense of what is happening at Blackbay Asylum.

Story

Before discovering the open door, Doug sits in his cell writing a farewell letter to Teddy as he prepares to undergo “exploratory surgery.” An ancient evil has taken hold of the hospital, bending reality and dreams together. Doug encounters horrors and puzzles throughout the halls as he searches for a way out. The Lovecraft-inspired story unfolds through journals, notes and dialogue.

Explore the asylum

Gameplay shifts between birds-eye and first-person views depending on the situation or level. The environment is interactive: Doug can use or examine objects ranging from computers and doors to potted plants and trashcans, and comments on things he cannot use or pick up. You solve puzzles, use your wits against monsters and traps, and can die in the process.

Investigate and interact

An inventory and journal help you keep track of what you find. You can also speak with other survivors through interactive dialogue.
