## Description
Get ready for an intense cooperative experience in Lobotomy, where you and your friends take on the roles of patients who have, let's say, 'escaped' from a psychiatric hospital. But the escape isn't as simple as it seems, as reality distorts and the hospital staff transform into terrifying monsters, led by an even more sinister warden. Your goal? Simple: escape! But time is an enemy, and the warden is always lurking.

This scenario-based adventure and dungeon crawler game plunges you into a huge modular environment, where each part of the hospital (including gardens and chapels) is a new area to explore. Each playable character is unique, with their own backstories, phobias, and mental illnesses that shape their skills and powers. The monsters you'll face are inspired by classic 'pulp' horror movies, ensuring a spine-chilling atmosphere. You'll fight, explore, or try to uncover your past, but urgency is constant: the warden can appear at any moment, and you need to be ready for the final confrontation. And for component lovers, the base game comes packed with over fifty detailed miniatures, for both characters and creatures, adding an incredible visual touch to your escape journey.
