8 o, clock in the night after having dinner with his younger sister, downstairs at the dining table, had Tempura and Karaage with rice. He goes to his bedroom, closes the door, sits on the chair, turns on the computer, replies to messages on his phone for 15 minutes, and then searches through his video games gallery for a game to play to spend his time till around 12 or 1. He then notices one game that he has bought a few weeks ago when it was in promotion, but he didn't get to play it yet for an unknown reason. The cover is half a man staring up at the asylum and the bottom is the title. The title is literally The Asylum.
Now is the right time to try the new game that he definitely didn't 'forget that it exists' because he is bored. The game opening is definitely catching his interest with a horror fill with creepiness kind of theme. The game's main genre is horror and thriller, but he is not easy to get scared of, and that is the reason he bought it, definitely not because it was in a promotion. The game starts after he presses the 'Enter' key on the keyboard in front of his hands. The game introduces a main character, who wakes up from his sleep, and sees what is in front of him is not the ceiling of his bedroom but instead the ceiling of an asylum.
*Gasp* He starts panicking. Afraid that he might be kidnapped and was going to be sold as a slave, but fell down from a truck, or any vehicle that was able to hide people. He stands up, calms himself, and thinks about where is this, and how to escape from there. He is now free to move and explore the area. The player, Kai, moves around to learn the mechanic given by instructions that appeared on the screen after the cutscenes. After a few minutes of learning, he finally understands the mechanic and actually begins the main character's story. Half an hour has passed, and he found a flashlight and a mysterious broken door on his left side, interacts with it, and the door opens and reveals what is hidden inside it.
Skeletons. A bunch of skeletons was stored behind it. It means that a lot of people had died here, maybe genocide, all thrown into one room and left obsolete until new victims arrive as newcomers. Almost throwing up after seeing that, he enters the room to look for something valuable or important item that may be the key item to progress the story. If he looks carefully at the upper left corner, he can see something shining like a normal item in video games would, showing that this thing can be interacted with. Press the 'F' key shown, click that and get a gold key with the name 'Asylum's door key' written on the small note that comes with it, and put it in the storage slot.
After wandering around for 30 minutes, seven notes, three keys to different doors, a few key items,s and two collectible items were found. Also a few jumpscares along the way. In front of him is the door to get out of the jail room. Yes, this is the jail room, located under the Asylum, the first location to explore. He unlocks the door using one of the keys he got while exploring, the door opens, and the stairs upstairs appeared out of the dark. Walk up the stair, there is another door, but this one is not locked. The game gets into cutscenes.
The door opens, revealing what is behind it. It looks like a basement with all racks, hanging broken light bulbs, a ladder, tires, and what seems like a generator covered by big cloth. The basement is so big that even a flashlight can't fully light the room or the end of the room can't be seen by the naked eye. End of the scene, he has to walk slowly and carefully look around him in case of something or someone tries to kill him. Out of the blue, a scream can be heard at the end of the room, but he can't make out the owner of the scream, it is like a mix of a man's and a woman's voices. He steps back, his heart beating hard, fear enveloping him, fear of whatever is there, screaming to its heart, something that might hurt him or even worse... kill him. But, he has to brace up if he wants to get out of this horrible place. He takes a deep breath, calms down, and faces the fear. He steps ahead, confronting whatever lurks in the dark.
The closer he gets, the brighter it be. When the flashlight finally lit up the source of the scream, it was nothing there. Confused and scared because if it was not here, it could be somewhere else, somewhere in the room, waiting to ambush him. He aims the flashlight at every corner and every wall, even at the floor to see if the screamer is somewhere around, but there is nothing. He relieves but stays alert in case it screams again. 15 minutes passed, and he found a box of matches, one collectible item, and a picture of an unknown woman. Now, he tries to open the door with one of the keys, one by one, because the keys are not labeled. The final key unlocks the door, and it opens slowly with the sound effect of a rusty door that is usually used in horror movies. The room is pitch black even a flashlight can't light up the room. Suddenly, a hissing sound can be heard inside it and the hand of someone or... something set out, slowly comes toward him, and all of sudden...!
*tut tut* *tut tut* Someone calling Kai in 'Discussion', abrupted him and quickly pause the game. He sees who call him and it was Rena (Cutie-pie). He answers. "Hey, Rena. Why are you calling me?"
"Hey, umm... do you have time?"
"Yeah, I do." He is not though.
"Umm... can you... help me?"
