Mystery Synopsis:
The maximum security unit of Bloodstone Sanitarium houses defendants found not guilty by reason of insanity after their murder trials. These patients spend most of their time in isolation due to their frequent threats of violence. Despite this, the hospital administrator has decided to host a Halloween party for the unit to convince the city government that the facility is under control. This decision comes amid recent news of missing patients, injured medical staff, and an escapee who wreaked havoc in the town of Gothenburg. While the patients are excited about the celebration, the staff members are filled with dread but have no choice but to attend if they want to keep their jobs. And so, your story begins.
