Plot
The game begins with the fact that journalist Miles Upshur, receiving a letter from an anonymous author about the illegal activities of the Murkoff Corporation, arrives at Mount Massive Psychiatric Hospital. To his surprise, Miles discovers that the hospital is not guarded by anyone, and all entrances to it are closed.
ㅤEntering the hospital through the window, the journalist sees all the horror that is happening in it: dismembered corpses are scattered everywhere, and crazy and disfigured patients roam the corridors. Among all these crazy people, the main character meets a certain priest Martin, who promotes a cult around a local deity called the Walrider, a former security guard Chris Walker, stuffed with hormones, looking like a huge mutant, and throughout the game chasing Miles in order to restore order , that is, to kill the doctor Richard Trager - a sadist who uses patients for his delusional surgical experiments. Moving along the corridors of the hospital, the main character learns that he is just a front for the Murkoff Scientific Institute, which serves as a base for illegal experiments on people in order to obtain the greatest profit and breed a new kind of people with superpowers. Miles soon learns that Murkoff's laboratory is located under the hospital. While exploring the lab, he stumbles upon the Walrider, who starts chasing him. Suddenly, the reporter is grabbed by Chris and tries to kill him, but the Walrider intervenes and brutally kills Chris, disappearing after that. Miles moves on and finds a scientist - Dr. Rudolf Wernicke, who talks about the Wallrider project and about the mysterious clot - Billy - the only experimental subject who survived during the experiments. After that, he asks to kill Billy. To do this, it is necessary to turn off the water and electricity supply to Billy's capsule, in which his physical body is stored. The Walrider, having lost its owner, moves into the body of Miles. Miles slowly makes his way back to Wernicke's office, where SWAT is waiting for him. The screen goes blank, shots are heard in the background, and then screams. SWAT kills Miles, and the Walrider, who breaks free, deals with the SWAT.

Characters
  • Miles Upshur is the protagonist of the game. Reporter and journalist for 20 years. Relies on his agility and stealth skills to hide from patients and enemies. It falls into the hands of Trager, who cuts off 2 of his fingers, into the hands of the Walrider, who then throws Miles from a great height and breaks his leg. As a result, he was killed by special forces soldiers, who had an order to destroy all life in the hospital.

  • Waylon Park is the one who sends the letter at the beginning of the game.

  • The patients are former mutated patients from Mount Massive Psychiatric Hospital. Pretty dangerous. They chase the player until they are out of sight. After that, they check possible shelters, in the place where the player was last seen. Can kill in 3 hits. Meet regularly.

  • Stevenson is a Murkoff commando who fell for the boar Chris, like the entire first special forces detachment, but whom Chris decided not to tear off his head, but hang on a rod to die.

  • Thug (Chris Walker) - A Murkoff security specialist subject to experimentation for attempting to leak confidential information is the first enemy encountered in the game. During the first meeting it is not dangerous, in the rest of the moments it kills with two blows. He differs from ordinary patients in that he is much larger, and also calls the main character a pig. As a result, he died, tucked under the arm of the Walrider, chasing Miles.

  • Brothers - two naked thugs with cleavers who are trying to kill the player. Although they never run, they are extremely dangerous, as they move silently, kill in one hit, and usually split up looking for all the possible paths the player could take to retreat. In the end, it turns out that they were testing the player, whether he was worthy to convey to the people the flock of Father Martin. After that, they stop being aggressive.

  • Dr. Richard Trager is a mad doctor who performs surgical experiments on people. At first, it appears to the player as an ally, but soon cuts off two of his fingers. No less dangerous than Chris Walker, as he is capable of killing with two blows with his huge scissors. Later, he was squeezed by the elevator doors during the chase and died.

  • Walrider is a black mist made of nanoparticles that is found only at the end of the game under Mount Massive Mental Hospital. Before that, you can see it on the monitor in the control room, when he scatters the special forces, in the sewers through the video camera, and in the hospital park (in these cases it does not represent harm). It is not recognized by sounds, since he cannot speak and does not break doors (leaks under them). Very dangerous, one hit kill. However, the protagonist can spot him from afar, looking through night vision.

  • Father Martin is a priest who was also under the experiments of doctors. Miles' only ally. He died in the chapel, burned himself crucified on the cross, because he believed that he could resurrect.

  • Special Forces - contacts the hero only at the end of the game in underground laboratories, first appears on the screen in the control room. The commandos killed Miles, in Whistleblower one of the patients attacked one of the soldiers, thus the command was given to shoot at everything that moves. Including Miles.

Bush bug
  • You must pick up speed and aim at a special point on the bush.










  • When you reach the ledge at this point, you should jump.










  • After you jump on the bush you have to target the point and just run straight ahead and jump at the last moment. After that, you will find yourself in the laboratory.










  • Video:
Invisible door
  • The bug is very light. You just need to at-open the door and go forward.

  • Video:
Bug with a door
  • Once logged into the game, click "New Game".
  • After we got out of the car, we just run to the hospital, in general, as usual.
  • We do not run far, we reach the place where we need to climb into the hatch, from which blood flows.










  • Luke, of course, we're not interested in that.
  • We need a door that leads us to this room.
  • Here you will have to make a bug with a door, it will be very difficult for beginners
  • I will briefly tell you how to do it.
  • To begin with, we close the door, then open the door, let go sharply, press S, jump back and sharply jump forward onto the door, so we will climb onto the door.
  • A bug works on all doors.










  • After we jumped on the door, we pass forward (there you will need to sit down). Now you can climb in textures.

  • Video:
The seated person is not beaten
  • One of the easiest bugs to perform - for him you just need to press the crouch button as often as possible. For some reason this stops the attack animation of enemies and they don't deal damage.










  • However, this is not the only way to avoid a fight - the moral code of the enemies also does not allow them to beat a person if he climbed somewhere slightly above the floor level.

Plot
The action unfolds on the eve before the events of the original game and partially overlaps with them thereafter. The main character, Waylon Park, works in the underground laboratories of Merkof as a programmer-engineer. He is the one who sent the letter to Miles Upsher, which we read in the very first document in the main game. But Merkof's owner and corporate supplier Jeremy Blair discovers this message in the laptop Waylon accidentally left behind. Blair throws the laptop on the floor and breaks it, and afterwards, Waylon is knocked out by the guards, and two hours later he wakes up in a room with a big screen. It was a morphogenetic test. In the next room, Walrider kills a patient, and patients start bursting out of the lab. Waylon takes the camera and goes in search of an exit.
ㅤThroughout the DLC the player plays as Waylon Park and tries to find the way out, going through many difficulties on his hard way, slowly but surely getting out of the abandoned hospital and wiping the veil of secrecy from Mercough's atrocious activities. In the course of events the hero will meet not only new characters, but also those that were in the original game.
ㅤAt the exit of the clinic, Park meets an injured Jeremy Blair. As he gets closer, he attacks Waylon and shoves a shard of glass into his stomach, but Walrider appears and kills Blair. The wounded Waylon gets into Miles Upsher's car as he approaches the gates of the clinic. Starting the engine, Waylon Park sees the silhouette of Miles, who had previously been shot by soldiers, but due to exposure to nanites has come back to life. Walrider also tries to kill Park, but the latter at the last moment kicks the gates of Mount Massive with his jeep and drives away.
ㅤLater, Waylon, sitting at his laptop, prepares to upload the video from the video camera to the Internet. A man (a certain Julian) stands in front of him and tells him that the consequences of uploading this video could be irreparable for him and his family, but that it would be the right thing to do. Is the hero confident in his choice? Waylon downloads the video and closes the laptop.

Characters
  • Waylon Park is the main protagonist of the supplement. It is he who sends the letter to Miles Upsher, which we read in the very first document in the main game. He is a programmer-engineer at Merkof with third-level access. Subject to little exposure to morphogenetic conditioning. Like Miles, doesn't have any combat skills, but is physically more advanced. He's an admirer of Miles's work. He is married with two sons and has a teenage son. At the end of the add-on, drives off in Upsher's car and uploads information to the Internet about the events taking place in Mount Massive.

  • Jeremy Blair is the main antagonist of the supplement. The supervisor of Merkof's unit at the Mount Massive site. At the beginning of the game finds a notebook with a letter and throughout the game tries to prevent Waylon from getting out of the treatment facility and divulging information about Merkof's activities. Killed by Walrider at the end of the supplement.

  • Frank Manera is the first "serious" antagonist of the supplement. First meets the hero in the canteen, where he eats a human corpse. He chases Waylon until he hits another block. Never comes across him again during the game. Armed with a hand circular saw, which he occasionally turns on to intimidate. He kills you with 2 strokes.

  • Eddie Gluskin is a psychopath who kills patients in an attempt to create a perfect bride for himself. He is a variant of the man Waylon meets at the beginning of the game, asking for help. Later, the protagonist hears references to Eddie after falling off a roof, from a patient with a split personality. In an attempt to escape from him, Waylon ends up in the basement, where he meets Gluskin. He kills with a shiv in one or two strokes. Dies by hitting a rebar when he tries to hang Waylon from the ceiling of the gymnasium.

  • Dennis is a split personality patient who lured other patients, including Waylon Park, to Eddie Gluskin so he wouldn't touch him. First appears in the professional unit, where he talks to his personalities about finding a scapegoat for the Bridegroom. Later sets up a chase for Waylon to lure him deep into the professional block to Gluskin. He is armed with a cleaver and kills with about 3 strokes. His model is similar to that of standard patients, including passive patients.
