About This Demo

[h1]A Case That Knows You[/h1]

Ward 9 is a psychological horror investigation game about dangerous patients, buried evidence, and the stories people build to survive what they have done.

This demo is the opening assignment. Enter the Catharsis interview room as an Aide and meet David Carver, a patient who knew impossible details about his family's disappearance before anyone showed him the case file.
