Your only tools are a fire axe found in a cracked emergency case and the memory of every hallway in this building. You know where the exits are. You know where they used to be.
The night clock is running. Survive long enough, and maybe you find out what it has been showing all these years. Or maybe — if the lore fragments scattered across the floor are to be believed — it finds out what you are.
