'''''The Institute''''' is a 1983 graphic adventure game released for the [[TRS-80]], [[Commodore 64]] and [[Atari 8-bit]] by [[Screenplay (company)|Screenplay]].
==Gameplay==
The game's interface was typical of [[text adventure|illustrated text adventures]]. The user navigated their character through a [[Graph theory|graph]] of rooms by entering commands with the keyboard: "N", "W", "S", and "E" are used to move respectively north, west, south, and east; simple text commands to interact and investigate objects within the rooms such as "open door" are also used.
The game's protagonist is a mental patient trying to escape from the institute (hence the title). A good deal of the game takes place in drug-induced hallucinations.
