TEN DAYS In a mad house
START
Introduction
You are an undercover reporter exposing the horrifying truth about the asylum. What began as a daring investigation has taken a dark turn — the doctors and nurses have discovered who you really are. They say no one leaves the asylum once they enter… alive. Your only chance to escape is to uncover the clues hidden throughout the wards before the attendants catch you...but you need to find your trunks that have all of your writings in them. The clock is ticking. Can you find your trunks and escape before they find you?
