Host 714

Host 714 is a stealth game in which you play as Squid, a drug-addicted hobo invited by the Orange Institute to take part in experimental addiction treatment and social reintegration. The Institute is on a faraway island, and Squid discovers that the offer was a fraud: they are now a test subject with an uncertain fate. You must escape.

The Orange Institute

The Institute ranges from abandoned dungeons to modern laboratories, with abusive guards and soulless patients. Its corridors and presentation create a sense of tension and abandonment. As you hide in rooms and corridors, you can search for information about the organization’s true intentions and try to find allies among prisoners who still have hope.

Survive and escape

Your body begins to act strangely, and pain is inevitable. You need to keep moving and avoid passing out, since danger may be waiting around a corridor. The Institute’s security system, locked doors and inaccessible areas stand between you and escape. Explore to find keys and access cards, and solve mysteries to make your way forward.

What remains of you

As you progress, you witness people like Squid being subjugated and treated as objects. Hunger and cold from Squid’s earlier life seem mild by comparison with what they encounter at the Institute. You can fight for your life and run, while facing cruelty behind opened doors and questioning whether you can hold on to your humanity.
