Asylum

The Asylum is a "faction" introduced in the Seeking Asylum stage of MADNESS: Project Nexus' story mode. It consists of several different units that occupy the NEXUS Asylums and Sleeper Labs.

The Asylum has four units in total, with three being asylum staff and one being asylum patients, who the staff keep locked up and medicated. They also seem to perform surgery on them, though the reason for it is unknown.

Units

 * Asylum Patients - Asylum patients are Ex-NEXUS Scientist who were locked up in the asylums after going insane. These enemies are tied up and will attack with their head or feet. After they get killed once, they will break free and be able to use their fists and perform grapple attacks. Asylum patients are hostile to all asylum staff members. They show up in Seeking Asylum and Sleeper Labs in story mode, and in the Murder Room in arena mode.


 * Orderly - Orderlies are slightly larger asylum staff members, who chase after enemies, grapples them and then throws them away and makes them dizzy if they don't break out of the grapple. Orderlies are incapable of hurting the player, as they don't ever do any attacks other than grapples. They show up in Seeking Asylum and in Tricky's survival arena at the end of Sleeper Labs. They also show up in the Murder Room of arena mode.
 * Harmacist - Harmacists are enemies who carry a dartgun and a syringe. If they hit the player with either, the player will be slowed down, and a filter will be applied on the screen, making it harder to seeing what is going on, but their dartgun only has a few shots and fires a slow projectile. Once their run out of ammo for their dartgun, they will switch to their syringe, which does the same thing as the dartgun, but as a melee weapon. The syringe also breaks after a few hits, and after that, the Harmacists will resort to simply punching enemies. They show up in Seeking Asylum and at the Tricky survival arena at the end of Sleeper Labs in story mode, and in the Murder Room of arena mode.


 * Harmacist Jr. - The Harmacist Jr. is a G03LM unit that dual wields saws. They can be taken out by hitting them five times and then executing them from behind, the the same was as other G03LMs. They show up in Seeking Asylum and at the Tricky survival arena at the end of Sleeper Labs in story mode, and in the Murder Room of arena mode.
