Nestled amidst rolling hills and forgotten meadows, the Place of Broken Things stands as a haunting testament to a bygone era. Once a thriving asylum, its walls have witnessed countless tales of mental anguish, despair, and, it is whispered, unspeakable horrors.

Established in the mid-19th century, the asylum was designed as a sanctuary for the mentally ill, a place where they could find solace and treatment. However, as the years passed, the institution's methods became increasingly controversial. Patients were subjected to harsh treatments, including electroshock therapy and lobotomies, leaving many traumatized and broken.
