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. ==External links== *[http://www.if-legends.org/~yois/vault.php?id=328 Background from Ye Olde Infocomme Shoppe] *[http://www.atarimagazines.com/v3n7/reviews.html Review from Antic Vol. 3 No. 7] {{DEFAULTSORT:Institute, The}} [[Category:1983 video games]] [[Category:Commodore 64 games]] [[Category:Adventure games]] [[Category:Atari 8-bit family games]] {{adventure-videogame-stub}}
