Step into the cold corridors of Bedlam Royal Hospital, where silence is not peace—and compliance is not safety. In this immersive, second-person journey through the 18th-century asylum, you are not mad. But that doesn’t matter here. From the moment the gate slams shut behind you, your voice, your name, and your identity begin to fade. What follows is a quiet unraveling, wrapped in orderlies' routines and doctors’ polite indifference, where sanity is a performance and records speak louder than truth.


This is not a horror story. This is history.
