Official fact sheet
ASYLUM is a highly atmospheric, first person horror title, in which the player takes on the role of a contestant in a TV game show that slowly degenerates into a macabre nightmare.
- Channel WKYZ has commandeered a supposedly haunted asylum called “Wolfborough”, ans is broadcasting a special live edition of it’s popular reality TV programme “FRIGHT OF YOUR LIFE!” from inside it.
- Four contestants are locked within its walls overnight, and must complete a number of tasks and puzzles in a race to win the biggest cash prize in television history, $10 million.
- They enter the asylum with a game show mentality, but when the bowels of hell spew out its most vicious demons they soon find that they are no longer fighting for the prize money but their own lives.
