༺The Evil Within༻Memory's Captive

Sebastian Castellanos and his partners weren't the first to endure the horrors of STEM. Just months before their abduction another test was run, this one including Claire Beckman, a freshly hired nurse's aid at Beacon Mental Hospital.

The moment she finds herself walking down an eerily empty Krimson City, she knows things are off. Even more so when she notices a cloaked figure that seems to haunt her very existence.

When bad comes to worse, Claire finds herself imprisoned by an all-powerful being by the name of Ruvik, who continuously surveys her every move and conceals his appearance with white bandages across his entire body.

Day after day, she awakes in her cell and ventures out to explore his ever-changing mansion, only to find clues to induce her curiosity of his gruesome past. As she's faced with unimaginable horrors and monsters her worst nightmares couldn't even conjure, she comes to realize.. During her entire stay in this nightmare, Ruvik hasn't so much as laid a hand on her. And despite his distant, hostile behavior, she awakes every morning to find food, water, and clean clothing provided for her.

Maybe he isn't quite the monster he's made himself out to be..
