Plot

The game is set in a hospital in Tuscany, Italy called the Ospedale Psichiatrico di Volterra. The player character is a girl named Renée, who was a patient at the hospital in the 1940s. The game begins as Renee enters the now dilapidated asylum to relive her stay there. As the game progresses, it becomes known that Renee was admitted due to promiscuity, depression, and a volatile relationship with her mother. Renee found comfort in her doll, Charlotte.

Renee walks the corridors of the derelict asylum, which triggers flashbacks of both her inpatient stay and circumstances prior. It is implied that Renee was a victim of sexual abuse within the asylum, perpetrated by a male nurse or doctor. Renee discovers Amara, another patient, and a romance ensues. When the nurses discovered this relationship, they were separated.

Renee finds her old medical files, which imply that Amara did not exist and that they are figments of her imagination. After a thorough investigation in the patient property section, Renee finds Amara's possessions, thus proving her existence and that the medical team falsified some aspects of her mental illness.

A note found by Renee reads that Amara died in 1942. Medical notes found whilst searching the facility imply that Renee was verbally and physically aggressive and often spent time tied to her bed. Renee receives electroconvulsive therapy and multiple sedative injections to ease behavioural symptoms.
