Stonehearst Asylum

In 1899, the prestigious Oxford University has just produced another batch of talented medical graduates, among them a young and ambitious man named Edgar Hill. Edgar, driven by a strong sense of curiosity and a desire to serve, has decided to take on an apprenticeship at a rural mental institution, known as Ravenscare Asylum. As a member of the upper-class, Edgar's family name and reputation have secured him a respectable position where he hopes to not only learn the intricacies of the human mind but also to prove himself as a superior individual. Upon his arrival at the Ravenscare Asylum, Edgar is immediately drawn to the enigmatic beauty of a female patient, known as Eliza, who seems to be suffering from a mysterious illness that affects her memory and makes her susceptible to hallucinations. From the very first day, Edgar feels an inexplicable connection to Eliza and spends most of his time at the asylum engaging with her, trying to comprehend the underlying causes of her condition and unravel the intricacies of her fragmented thoughts. However, as the days turn into weeks, Edgar becomes increasingly entangled in the complex and often tumultuous dynamics of Ravenscare Asylum. He soon discovers that beneath its seemingly tranquil surface, the institution harbors dark secrets and practices that could be viewed as morally reprehensible. The staff at the asylum, a group of eccentric and sometimes unsettling individuals, seems to be hiding something sinister, something that could potentially pose a danger to Edgar and his patients. Despite his growing unease, Edgar finds himself entwined with the enigmatic and manipulative Dr. Silas, the newly appointed asylum director. With a charming and disarming demeanor, Dr. Silas has quickly risen through the ranks, earning the admiration and loyalty of his colleagues. However, Edgar soon notices that Dr. Silas's behavior is often unconventional and sometimes brutal, particularly in his treatment of the patients. One evening, while pouring over the asylum's records, Edgar stumbles upon a disturbing revelation: the asylum has recently undergone a drastic transformation, with many of its original staff members replaced by new individuals. Edgar becomes increasingly disquieted, realizing that he may be dealing with a shadowy figure from the asylum's checkered past. His growing paranoia and unease are only exacerbated by the strange occurrences that start to plague the institution - a patient appears to have deliberately set a fire, several medical records go missing, and a mysterious hooded figure lurks around the asylum at night. As Edgar struggles to reconcile his perception of reality with the disturbing truth, he finds himself increasingly entangled in a dark game of cat and mouse. Eliza, once a fragile and innocent soul, has now become his anchor in the midst of chaos, and he is forced to confront the sinister forces at play within the asylum. Edgar must grapple with the moral implications of the asylum's practices and the sinister forces at work, as the once-tranquil institution descends into a maelstrom of violence and despair. Torn between his loyalty to Dr. Silas and his growing unease with the asylum's practices, Edgar must make a difficult choice between his conscience and his ambition. As the mysterious events unfold, it becomes increasingly clear that Edgar has no idea of the recent and horrifying staffing change at Ravenscare Asylum - a change that could have devastating consequences for everyone involved. As Edgar tries to navigate this treacherous landscape, he finds himself forced to confront the darkest aspects of human nature and the consequences of unchecked ambition. With the boundaries between reality and madness increasingly blurred, Edgar must fight to uncover the truth behind Ravenscare Asylum's sinister secret, even if it means putting his very sanity at risk.
