About This Game

Falk wakes up in the Triage Ward of the Kurat Institute with no memory and a gown with his number on it. The staff would like him back on the table.

Get through the shift

Kurat runs on a shift clock. Orderlies keep the corridors by day, and at lights-out the Husks come out. Keep yourself fed, warm and clear-headed, and don't get caught in the open after dark.

Take it apart

Strip beds, cabinets and machines for scrap, cloth and wiring. Learn recipes from notes and from taking things apart, and make tools, weapons, armour and implants. All of it wears out.

Hold a ward

Seal a room's doors and it's yours. Build heaters, cots, workbenches and barricades, and keep them standing when the Husks come looking.

Go down

Kurat is six tiers deep: the wards and the incinerator, overgrown gardens, the ventilation, a pit called the Crucible, a frozen archive, and the Director's pavilion at the bottom.

Deal with the wardens

The Head Warden, the Gardener, the Damper, the Core and the Director each run a part of Kurat. Fight them, get past them or talk them down. Most can be stopped without killing them.

Find who's left

Rand, Sister Noël, Kira-09 and Dr. Mills are hiding somewhere in the institute. Bring them back to your ward and they'll fight beside you, if you look after them.

Five endings

What you learned, who you helped and how many people you hurt decide how it ends.
