Until Dawn Prequel The Inpatient Arrives on 21st November

Hell on Earth

by Sammy Barker Tue 29th Aug 2017

Prepare your straitjacket and PlayStation VR headset, as you’re about to be transported to a 1950s mental health asylum in The Inpatient on the PlayStation 4. Set to release on 21st November in North America and 22nd November in Europe, the Until Dawn prequel sees you assume the role of a patient with no prior knowledge of how he was admitted into the hospital.

“As you investigate the Blackwood Sanatorium in an effort to recall lost memories and discover who you are,” executive producer Simon Harris wrote on the PlayStation Blog, “your decisions and actions will determine the fate of people that you meet.” There’s a new trailer embedded above – it all looks suitably messed up.

I had no idea the inpatient was meant to be a prequel to until dawn? Interesting.

As for bravo team, I hope this means Sony plan to produce more aim controllers ahead of its release!

Well it looks like Sony are putting their money where their mouth is when it comes to VR. Gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised at the amount of decent content. Still not enough to actually get one, mind. Still, good for them.

So sad it's VR only! And the problem with it is that a much smaller group of people will play it...oh well

I expect this will be a "VR timed exclusive" and will later drop with no VR. Having said that, I have the headset and am reallly looking forward to being in this. RE7 on VR was terrifying & I think I only would have found it tense at best on my plain old flatscreen.
