Journal
The following journal entry is scattered almost unintelligibly across the page, reflective of the character's current mental state.

"What is going on! What’s happening to me? I was able to escape that malignant house by making a pact with an entity called the Black Lips. It told me that I must make another sacrifice in the future. What happened next was simply incomprehensible. I… I found myself in an alien place! A kind of hostile dimension. Then I woke up in Arkham Sanitarium. Am I losing it? Am I losing my mind! Or was I even sane to begin with?"
 * Leave me alone! I'm not myself anymore!

Walkthrough
After exiting the Witch House, the character will be transported to Ward 10. They are greeted by a doctor (the Dismal Man in disguise), who intends to lobotomize the character in order to cure them of their insanity. The character must escape the ward before this happens.


 * Speak with Marino, who will tell you about a "fella" who once escaped back to reality after being tested with an experimental treatment. The man was given a strange Haloperiphedal mixture to ingest and supposedly escaped. Marino explains that he can draught the mixture once again if you can retrieve the main ingredient from the locked cabinet.
 * Obtain the key that unlocks the cabinet. This can be accomplished in one of two ways:
 * Engage and defeat Carrion Jack (the ward orderly) in combat.
 * Speak with Isidore Schmidt and perform a Subterfuge check.
 * Use the key to unlock the medical cabinet and retrieve the Haloperiphedal.
 * Give the Haloperiphedal to Marino and drink the mixture.
