Psyhonds

Psyhonds is a survival simulator set in a psychiatric ward. You manage four patients, keeping them from losing their minds or starving, while exploring the ward, crafting items and deciding how to deal with its staff and other residents.

The four patients

Each character has a distinct mental disorder: Victor is depressive, Peper is a sociopath, Luca has schizophrenia, and Damian has identity disorder. You monitor their condition as they try to survive in the ward.

Explore and craft

You can rummage through dumpsters for junk and craft a shiv, or take a more conformist approach by interacting with the ward’s characters and helping them. These activities can raise your reputation. You can also fix the local TV, join a cult, use hospital food as cockroach bait, help a local bum find his sentimental watch in exchange for trading advice, or craft a lockpick to enter the psychiatrist’s office and uncover his secrets.

Choose your path

Your wardmates whisper about a patient gathering allies for a riot, while another patient plans an escape and the psychiatrist has urgent tasks for you. You choose your goal and how to pursue it, whether that means a quiet life in the ward or rebellion.

A shifting ward

Diagnoses, orderlies and corridor wall colors change, while the struggle against yourself and your wardmates remains. You search for meaning in the psychiatrist’s tests and face the question of who is truly insane.
