REA Reaction
The Asylum: Playtime, formerly known as The Asylum: Chapter 2, functions as a completely standalone game from The Asylum: The Doctor’s Secret. However the two games are mechanically connected in a really nifty way if you book them back-to-back.
The standout component to The Asylum: Playtime was the hint system… it was brilliant, playful, and allowed the gamemaster and the players to creatively engage with one another. For our team, the best moments of the game were born of these interactions.
From a gameplay standpoint, The Asylum: Playtime felt traditional, with some of the components feeling worn or dated.
Overall, The Asylum: Playtime has changed a bit in recent months, and we’re told by Lost Games that they plan to make more adjustments.
The reason to play The Asylum – both games – is for the atmosphere and experience. So, if you’re in Las Vegas and looking for a few escape rooms, playing both of the Asylum games back-to-back is a good way to do it.

Story
Following the events of The Doctor’s Secret, we’d saved ourselves from one problem… and found another. With the threat of an impending lobotomy, we had to free ourselves from the asylum’s rec room.
