Patients, Attention!

It's customary to sum up the results at the end of the year - and we are no exception. We want to share some fun stats with you about what you've managed to achieve in the first month since the game's Early Access release.

A Few Numbers

This month you have:

  • Successfully escaped the mental hospital 3,857 times and received your diagnoses
  • Swallowed over 12,500 pills
  • Picked up around 364,000 pieces of candy


Insane results - keep it up!

What's Next?

Right now, the entire team's resources are focused on preparing the project for the full release in January. The main focus is on stabilization, refining mechanics, balancing, and polishing the existing content.

From our immediate plans:

Adding a third run stage, which will consist of three sub-stages

Expanding the game content and further refining current systems based on your feedback

Thank you to everyone who is playing, sharing impressions and ideas, and sending bug reports - this directly impacts the quality of the game and the speed of its development.

Don't forget to follow the news and updates on our social media - there's still a lot of interesting things ahead.
