Psychiatric: Containment
SteamFace the paranormal in this survival horror experience. Monitor surveillance cameras, identify entities using professional equipment, and maintain the stability of an abandoned psychiatric hospital before your sanity runs out.
Containment: Psychiatric is a survival horror experience where you take the night shift as a field investigator inside an abandoned psychiatric hospital. Your task is simple in theory: monitor the cameras, identify spectral entities, and keep the system stable before your sanity collapses.
Will you make it to dawn… or become another patient of the shadows?
Welcome to your new job. As a field investigator, you have been assigned to one of the most unstable facilities in the sector. Your office is small, your responsibility enormous. You are not here just to watch screens. You are here to contain what others failed to control.
Use a full set of professional tools including EMF readers, spirit communication devices, and night-vision cameras to collect evidence and classify the entity lurking in the dark.
The GH-OS IDENTIFIER v1.0 is your lifeline. Manage battery power, repair system failures, and activate the Ecto-Fluid Stabilizer (EEC) to suppress paranormal activity. But be careful: critical pressure levels and the slow collapse of your sanity are just as dangerous as the entities themselves.
Collect up to three types of evidence (footprints, orbs, freezing temperatures, and more) to identify over 20 unique entities, each with its own behavior and threat profile.
Carefully control battery usage, night vision, and ultraviolet light while maintaining the integrity of the EEC system.
Story Mode Survive a series of escalating nights, guided by in-game calls and tutorial support.
Extreme Challenges Test your limits in Nightmare and Scarcity modes, built for experienced investigators.
Survival Mode How long can you last before the shadows claim you?
Earn credits for your services in “Spectral Exorcism & Cleanup.” Spend your paychecks in the in-game Shop to unlock new rooms, upgrades, and collectibles.
A haunting soundscape and a dedicated retro-terminal interface place you inside a real containment operation.
