Bohnice: Within the Mind

Bohnice: Within the Mind is a first-person investigation game set in an abandoned psychiatric hospital inspired by the real Bohnice complex in Prague. You play Alex Turner, an investigative journalist who goes there to investigate reports of experiments, unexplained disappearances and paranormal activity.

The investigation

After receiving a mysterious letter from the son of a former hospital assistant, Alex travels to Bohnice to look into stories others refused to believe. He documents the abandoned hospital with a camera, portable radio and journal, searching for clues to its past.

You explore patient rooms, medical facilities, treatment chambers, offices and dark corridors. Documents and environmental details help you piece together the hospital's history and its experiments, while environmental puzzles can be solved without constant objective markers or step-by-step guidance. You explore at your own pace, following evidence rather than a prescribed trail.

Paranormal evidence

The handheld radio detects mysterious signals and can help locate areas where supernatural activity may be present. Follow those signals and use the camera to capture phenomena that may not be visible to the naked eye.

Horror and atmosphere

The game focuses on exploration, environmental storytelling and psychological tension rather than combat. Unsettling sounds and mysterious apparitions create an oppressive atmosphere in which any room may conceal something unexpected.
