Worrying Write-Up Of A Wordless Ward

**Worrying Write-Up Of A Wordless Ward** is one of many playable Mysteries that must be solved in order to bring the player closer to defeating the Old God of their playthrough.

## Introduction

*"You've got a call from your classmate's mother.*

*With a teary voice, she told you your friend had a nasty accident and is currently awaiting an important surgery.*

*They asked her to call you and ask to spend few evenings* *with them.*

*That's weird.*

*You weren't exactly in the best relationship lately, but you agree to visit your friend, starting tonight."*

## Mystery Progression

Similar to Spine-Chilling Story of School Scissors, the player is forced into a linear path of events. This Mystery has no Side Quests.

### The First Night

*(Five Nights Remain)*

*Your classmate is at the hospital, awaiting the surgery. Go and visit them tonight.*
You start outside of the Hospital, with the following four options:

* 'enter the hospital' Brings you to the Reception Area and progresses the Mystery.
* 'ACCESS YOUR STORAGE' Allows the player to access their item storage.
* 'shop for items' Brings the player to the Dog Vendor at the cost of 4 Doom. Does not appear if the Dog Vendor is out of town.
* 'rest' Standard resting, heals Stamina and Reason at the cost of Doom

After entering the Reception Area, three more options become available:

* 'enter DOCTOR'S OFFICE' Costs 2 Doom and allows the player to heal their minor/major injuries.
* 'move to CORRIDOR A' Gives you a random Hospital Event and progresses the mystery.
* 'ask about your classmate' Brings you to a nurse who tells you to go to the Corridor.

After entering CORRIDOR A, you arrive in CORRIDOR B. You have two options:

* 'take an ELEVATOR' brings you down to CORRIDOR A.
* 'check out PATIENT ROOM' progresses the mystery.

Choosing to enter the elevator brings you to CORRIDOR A, with three options:

* 'return to the RECEPTION AREA' Brings you back to the RECEPTION AREA. Be warned, as you'll have to do another Hospital Event to get back to CORRIDOR B.
* 'take an ELEVATOR' Brings you back to CORRIDOR B without doing a Hospital Event
* 'enter MORGUE' The door is closed, and cannot be entered.

The steps above are repeated for every night with the exception of the final night.

#### Patient Room

*"Your friend is lying on the bed, still sleeping after the surgery. Their face is almost completely covered in bandages.*

*You sit on what must be the most uncomfortable chair in the world, thinking how pointless it is to wait here. Having nothing else to do, you decide to go and buy something to drink from the vending machine.*

Selecting Continue results in a random Hospital Event.

### The Second Night

*(Four nights remaining)*

*The next day passes without any incidents and before you know, another evening is coming.*

*With an increasing reluctance, you head towards the hospital...*

#### Patient Room

*Your friend woke up earlier today. You've spent some time talking about school and recent events but still can't shake the feeling something about them seems \_off\_...*

*Finally, they go to sleep. You decide to take a walk to stretch your legs.*

Selecting Continue results in a random Downtown Event.

### The Third Night

*(Three nights remaining)*

*The next day on your way home, you are stopped by your friend's mother. She hands you a package for her child.*

*You promise to hand it over tonight.*

You receive the Curious Package. You can hand it over to your friend or withhold it from them by placing it in the Storage. This choice alters the boss fight at the end of the mystery.

#### Patient Room

If Package given: *<<Hey, your mom asked me to bring you this package>> you say, handing over the parcel.*

*When asked what's inside, they just stare at you...*

If Package stored: *You decide it's better not to mention the curious package. Your friend doesn't ask about it, anyway.*

*There is something in the look of their eyes that makes you think that they... know.*

Selecting Continue results in a random Hospital Event.

### The Fourth Night

*(Two nights remaining)*

*The next day passes without any incidents and before you know, another evening is coming.*

*With an increasing reluctance, you head towards the hospital...*

#### Patient Room

*Your friend just keeps staring at you.* *<<Did I tell you, you're really beautiful?>> they ask, twisting their swollen lips in a smile.*

Selecting Continue results in a jump scare. The friend abruptly shouts: *<<DoN'T gO yEt!>>*

Selecting Continue (again) results in a Downtown Event.

### The Fifth Night

*(One night remaining)*

*The next day passes without any incidents and before you know, another evening is coming.*

*With an increasing reluctance, you head towards the hospital...*

#### Patient Room

*<<Final phase of my surgery is tomorrow, I just can't wait to show you the results...>>*

*You can't help but shudder, thinking about the final day...*

Selecting Continue results in a random Hospital Event.

### The Final Night

*(this is it)*

Entering the hospital, your options are limited to one, labeled as '???'.

*Suddenly, all the lights go out. With a bad feeling about this, you decide to check out your friend one last time and get the hell out of here...*

Selecting the obscured option takes you to the Patient Room.

If Package given: *You are shocked to find an empty bed! The parcel you've delivered lies unwrapped on the nightstand. Ignoring the faint footsteps on the corridor, you take a peek...*

*Inside, there's a torn price tag for a butcher's knife. The footsteps are getting louder!*

If Package kept: *You are shocked to find an empty bed! The trail of blood on the floor leads to the bathroom. Ignoring the faint footsteps on the corridor, you take a step towards it...*

*The footsteps are getting louder!*

Selecting Continue initiates a boss fight again Your Friend, who now resembles a gaunt, distressed version of yourself. If you gave them the Curious Package, they will have extra DMG. Your Friend's name and appearance depends on the Character you are playing as:

* Kirie Minami - Transfer Student
* Aiko Takahashi - Swimming Team Captain
* Haru - Yakuza Driver
* Mizuki Hamasaki - Teen Idol
* Kouji Tagawa - Photographer
* Mimi - Med Student
* Miku - Rioter
* Moriko Ishii - Hunter's Daughter
* Yashiro Kawaji - Priest
* Ayaka Kuroi - Witch
* Toshiaki Wakamatsu - Ex-Cultist
* Juri Okusawa - Hunted Heiress

## Endings

### Ending A: Horror Ward

This ending is achieved by defeating Your Friend.

*"The person who tried to steal your life now lies on the hospital floor, dead. Mad, you keep smashing their face in until only a gory mess remains.*

*When you come back to your senses, you stumble out of the hospital room and onto the dark corridor.*

*The doors to other rooms slowly begin to open, and you are reminded about what the crazed friend told the other patients about you.*

*Out of every room reaches a bandaged head of a patient - their bruised faces eerily similar...*

*<<They all want to meet you...>>."*

### Ending B: Successful Surgery

This ending is achieved by selecting 'THIS IS TOO MUCH' during the Your Friend fight.

*"A smiling nurse wakes you up. <<This is your final day here, kid. Can't wait to finally get out, right?>>*

*Panicking, you get out of the hospital bed and rush to the mirror.*

*<<You had a nasty accident a week ago, you did.>> The nurse continues, writing something on the discharge form.*

*A minor concussion and a few nasty bruises so we had to keep you here.>> At first glance, everything seems to be fine. Sure, your face is slightly swollen and blue but thats to be expected.*

*Did you really have an accident and simply don't remember it? Y-yeah, that must be it. This weird friend must've been a nasty dream.*

*But as the nurse's smile gets wider and wider...*

*why won't your shoes fit you anymore?...*

There's a special reward for this ending: "[SURGERY]: who are you?" effect unknown.

## Extra

If you get Winds of Plague Town Status before this mystery, a new patient will show up in the reception area of hospital.
