Asylum is a horror video game developed by Senscape, an independent video game developer located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The game was authored by Agustín Cordes, who previously designed the game Scratches for the now-defunct developer Nucleosys. Taking place in a fictional insane asylum called the Hanwell Mental Institute, players are able to fully explore the institute, which is partially based on elements of real asylums. The clinic is built according to Kirkbride's plan, which is mentioned several times during the game. This type of mental hospital architecture was actually used in the past. The game was described as having "twisty storytelling" and "horrifying revelations", and an atmosphere-focused style of horror, much like Scratches.
