Victim: Asylum is an expansion and serves as a continuation for Victim: The Cursed Forest. Victim: Asylum, similar to its predecessor, revolves around the cooperation of "Victims" trying to escape from an entity called "the Evil". With a brand-new setting and Victims, Victim: Asylum aims to offer a diversity in gameplay. This expansion can be played by 2-6 players. Each game takes about 40-90 minutes to play. Some situations may require components, such as cards or dice, from the main game. Victims and Evils from the main game can also be used in this expansion. The main objective for Victim: Asylum is to find the key, go to the basement, gain access to the Professor's secret tunnel and escape the Asylum before Evil consumes you. Just like the main game, one of the players will become possessed by Evil after the 3rd round, changing their objective to eliminate the other players or sabotaging their attempt to escape. —description from the publisher
