There was a particularly brutal hurricane rolling through the area. The weather experts predicted mass power outages across the entire coast, as well as flooding and storm damage. The Cranston-Langstrom Institute of Therapy was nestled deep in a secluded, wooded area. A home to the criminally insane, their goal was originally to try and help reform those who were mentally unfit for general population prisons, but through years of bad leadership, embezzlement and poor funding, it has since become a dumping ground for society's unwanted.

Some patients were docile, others the dregs of society. But all paled in comparison to one particular patient: Tabitha. Although mental health professionals were loathe to ever use the word on paper, in hushed tones amongst themselves only one word constantly expressed how they felt about her: Crazy. She was crazy in every sense of the word. But there must be some spark of humanity left in there, right? What could have happened in her past to drive her to such madness?

With a huge crack and a bolt of lightning, a large tree nearby splinters, a large piece falling on top of the power transformer, causing the power to go out. The emergency backup generator kicks in, but due to years of neglect and failure to maintain and upkeep, it struggles to keep the lights on. This includes the locks on everyone's cell doors.

You can be anyone you want. You can be a guard, a doctor/therapist, an patient, even a random passerby seeking shelter from the storm, lost in the woods. The choice is yours. The goal is to stay alive until hopefully (presumably) the storm passes and the electrical crews can come and restore the main power. It would be horrible if the patients were to escape the Institute, especially Tabitha, but whether you want to risk keeping them in (or try to escape yourself) is also up to you.

TW: Given that the people locked up are there for a reason, reasons ranging anywhere from homocide and , to severe depression, anxiety, etc, you can expect there to be a lot of potentially bad scenarios and people. Gore, death/dying, everything is on the table.
