PREMISE
You awaken from a deep slumber to the steady beeping of a heart monitor, although before you is not the scene you would have expected. Something seems wrong, but you can't quite place it. In fact, do you even remember your name? Why are you here? Aside from being tired and your memory being uncooperative, there's the sensation of your hearing in your left ear being a bit fuzzy for about five minutes or so, but it fades away.
The sound of approaching footsteps catches your attention, followed by a gentle knock on the door of your hospital room. The door opens and a young nurse steps in, a welcoming smile on their face.
"Oh, you're awake! Wonderful! You're very lucky, you know. The Doctor saved your life, but we weren't sure if you'd pull through or not."
They seem genuinely pleased that you did. That's a good sign, right?
"You may have a lot of questions, but I may not be able to answer them all. This might help, though. If you feel like you're forgetting a few things, it's a side effect of the surgery. You'll be back to normal in a few days or so!"
You're offered a pamphlet showing off an old-fashioned style hospital on the front, although pictures within show the interior which looks considerably more advanced.
Welcome to the Miskatonic Medical Clinic, the most advanced in medical research and technology!
The pamphlet goes on to explain a little about the services they offer, including surgery, experimental procedures, miracle drugs, and even a cure for cancer! It sounds like a wonderful place, but it sounds too good to be true.
...and of course it is.
______________________________________________________________
Miskatonic Medical Clinic is a short-term Lovecraftian horror/mystery game that takes place in a more or less modern version of Boston, MA. Characters awaken in what seems to be the most cutting-edge hospital in the world, although things very quickly start to seem off.
Strange sounds in the night, odd shadows moving through the hallways at night, the terrifying mists outside the doors. The elevator has floors missing, and the staff just seem so nice. And then of course, characters might notice changes in each other...among other things. There are many things simply wrong with this place for those who manage to take note of them.
Can you solve the mysteries surrounding the clinic? You may wish you'd never been saved...
In this game, you can expect psychological and physical horror, short term amnesia, death, and of course, Lovecraftian beasties.
