Our take on Beside Myself
The defining structure is an exploration-led thriller in which the investigation's thoroughness and collected report materials determine one of two endings.
What is Beside Myself?
Play as Michael, a historian and journalist investigating an abandoned hospital where forced experiments and vaccine testing took place after the war.
The game is a first-person psychological thriller focused on exploring the hospital and gradually uncovering its hidden history. Tension builds during the investigation as the location reveals its connection to fear, torture, blood, and lost souls. The survival game begins once Michael enters the hospital, and player decisions shape the outcome. There are two endings, determined by actions, the thoroughness of the investigation, and how completely materials are collected for the report. The game also includes a photosensitive epilepsy warning.
How Beside Myself plays

- 02Hospital Investigation
