Our take on Mesel
The defining detail is the dual role: each decision and revealed mystery becomes part of a novel that the player is simultaneously living and writing.
What is Mesel?
Mesel casts the player as both the protagonist and author of a novel set in an abandoned hospital.
Decisions and discovered mysteries become part of the written story, with the resulting novel reaching up to 100 pages depending on the player's play style. Flashbacks reveal memories from the past that can be incorporated into the narrative. Hospital puzzles expose further secrets, while notes, records, and letters left by former inhabitants provide clues and context. Some documents are based on real hospital records. Mesel contains no fighting or shooting; progression centers on intelligence, curiosity, observation, exploration, and solving puzzles while investigating Gölcük Children's Hospital.
