Then when Wernicke sends officers to kill Miles, not realizing that Miles was the new host for the Walrider.
It's closer to a 19th century Kirkbridge Plan asylum, which fell out of fashion in the late 19th century with the last of them being built in 1913. Anachronism Stew: Miles' notes mention Mount Massive Asylum was built in The '50s and closed in the 70s, yet it doesn't look like anything from the 1950s.You can also find a document that implies that Wernicke was going to be sent to a concentration camp for his implied homosexual relationship with Turing, before the Nazis decided to force him to work for them. When reminiscing about his work with him, Wernicke talks about him and regards him like the love of his life. Ambiguously Gay: Rudolf Wernicke worked with Alan Turing, a scientist who laid the foundation for modern computing and was found guilty of being homosexual, tortured with hormone therapy, and committed suicide due to it in the 50s.One of its first acts is to messily kill Chris Walker, the Implacable Man giant inmate that has been pursuing you throughout the entire game. Always a Bigger Fish: You finally encounter the Walrider in the last area of the game.You won't be walking away from one of them in one piece. Alone with the Psycho: There's multiple times in the game where you end up alone and trapped with a hostile inmate.God help me but I somehow hope you didn't find another. Miles Upshur: You've escaped one Hell, Chris Walker. It may have helped that Chris was a war veteran with PTSD and Miles's assumption was that, based on Chris' own ramblings, Chris was trying to contain the horrors of the facility, albeit in his own, insane way. Alas, Poor Villain: Surprisingly, Miles's reaction to Chris Walker's death is this to some degree.Acrofatic: Chris Walker is one of the fastest enemies in the game.Absurdly-Spacious Sewer: You spend a little time in one and it is huge.It's also where the player comes in contact with the Walrider itself. Abandoned Laboratory: The very last level of the main game is a military facility where the Murkoff Corporation conducted their experiments on the asylum patients.However, Mount Massive hasn't housed female patients for a long time, so the entire female ward is falling apart and is the most decrepit area in the game.
The poor condition of the facility and a recent inmate riot that slaughtered much of the staff gives the impression of abandonment. Miles notes that Mount Massive was shut down in the 1970s due to corruption and abuse of patients, but was reopened by Murkoff in 2009.
