We loved Until Dawn round these parts, so we can’t wait to check out the VR prequel, The Inpatient, which has now launched on PS4. Set around Blackwood Sanatorium and taking place 60 years before its predecessor, The Inpatient was also developed by Supermassive Games, and once again features branching storylines determined by the actions and decisions of the player. As the game progresses, you’ll slowly discover clues as to who you are and why you were sent to the asylum, although you might be driven insane first.

Published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, The Inpatient is priced at $39.99, and can be purchased from either Amazon or the PS Store.

The Inpatient Official Synopsis:

Discover who you are before it’s too late in The Inpatient; a PS VR Exclusive set in the Blackwood Sanatorium, over 60 years prior to the 2016 BAFTA award-winning Until Dawn.

With deep immersion that places YOU in the game, you take on the role of an amnesiac inpatient who must find out who you are and why you are in the Sanatorium. With a branching narrative, and different endings; every choice you make can drastically affect the way the game plays out.

Key Features

Branching narrative

Choices and consequences are integral to the gameplay. Your life (and the lives of those around you), are dramatically affected by the decisions you make.

Uncover your memories

The story isn’t just about scares; you’ll discover a rich backstory and uncover a conspiracy. Vivid flashback memories that you discover throughout the game are key to understanding why you are in the Sanatorium.

Deep immersion

This game puts YOU in the shoes of the main character. Thanks to the inclusion of voice control, gender choice, and a fully realized body model – when you look down you see your legs, arms, and hands – it feels like YOU are in the Sanatorium.
