Psychophobia I: Fear of the Mind



= AN IRRATIONAL FEAR OF THE MIND, OR SUBJECTS PERTAINING TO THE MIND = You have been selected from a pool of 300 volunteers to oversee a groundbreaking experiment at the Werner Psychological Institute.

The experiment involves a new technology known as REMI, which allows subconscious thought to be translated into coherent sensations and visions.

The institute's administration has kept silent about the nature of the experiment; indeed, details are incredibly scarce. However, they have assured you and the rest of the volunteers that it is completely humane and safe for both the subjects and the researchers.

Their word grants you some solace; and yet, you can't help but feel an ominous sense of foreboding as the day of the experiment draws near.

Originally, twenty Students had come to Werner Asylum to learn about the REMI Machine, something that could help figuring out mental health issues and to witness this new breakthrough in person. Unknowingly, the test subject, Jane Doe, was simply a surrogate body hosting a malicious entity of unknown power. The REMI Machine proves in releasing the Entity, and putting all of the Students, Doctor Duponte, the janitor Abraham, and several security guards within the room into a seperate reality controlled by Jane.

The Students woke up in the testing room, and from that point embarked on a quest to set reality back to normal, and to stop the malicious entity; sadly, the REMI Machine had given so much power to Jane that nothing could stop her, and they were simply little playthings being strung along by events orchestrated by Jane herself.

Along the way, they met many remarkable characters, the ones having the most impact on them being Mr. Tall and the Village Family.

The Students managed to "destroy the Entity" by unleashing an explosive device inside of the Facility. They found themselves back in the testing room, being watched by a laughing Duponte, and by the cackling Security Guards. Abraham sat of to the side, observably uneasy. Duponte stopped laughing, and Abraham walked into the hallway. Duponte wiped a tear from his eyes, and said that the students can go. And as soon as he finished his sentence, several hulking abominations broke through the doors, already having reduced Abraham to a piece of mush. They slaughtered the students, the security (who for some reason did not have their firearms) and the Doctor.

And then they all woke up in straitjackets in cells. It begins again.
