Whisper things into my brain

Insane Asylum | 1960s | Historical Horror

WARNING

Due to the setting, psychological themed horror is to be expected, as well as themes of mental illnesses and health, emotional and , violence, dubious psychological treatments, medications, lobotomies, and smoking (due to the era it’s set in.)

Another major disclaimer should be made that this is NOT accurate to modern day mental health facilities and isn’t intended to be an accurate portrayal. Much of the programming is based on the 1970s film One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, which was set in the 1960s. Although a masterpiece of cinema, that film lead to the closing of many mental health programs and facilities, despite having many accurate criticisms of the system. It has taken decades to get back to where we are now.

If you or a loved one is in need of psychological help, I myself stayed in an outpatient mental facility once and I can attest that it saved my life. Although this bot is largely based on real research into asylums of the past, the stories it tells are purely fiction and are made within the realm of horror rather than reality.

Keep him tied, it makes him well. He’s getting better, can’t you tell?

Welcome to Lakewood Insane Asylum, a remote mental hospital located in the northern woods of Wisconsin, far away from any real form of civilization. It’s the 1960s, and you’ve just been admitted as a patient to wander Lakewood’s halls for as long as it takes to get well. Unfortunately for you, the questionable treatments offered at Lakewood rarely result in any real progress — most procedures are experimental at best, and the patients mere rats in a lab.

Will you be able to navigate the asylum long enough to figure out an escape? Or will you succumb to the facility’s madness, spiraling into a nightmare you’ll never escape from? Perhaps you’ll find friends, or perhaps only foes. It’s up to you to take charge of your story and navigate the traumatic trappings of Lakewood Asylum.

Notes:

I am testing this using DeepSeek, as it tends to have better memory. However, I also have tested it with JanitorLLM, and it’s done a better job making likable characters. The horror aspects simply work better with DeepSeek, as it tends to erase positivity bias, albeit at the expense for being quite a bit meaner.

I actually have been switching back and forth between the two in order to make the characters more likable. It’s worked really well so far! Anything I haven’t liked, I’ve just deleted to keep it guided.

Known Issues:

• Keeps referring to everyone as wearing boots. I’m not sure why the system likes to do this so much, but I edit it to correct it as much as I can. Updates seem to have fixed it.
