Charles Manson, Timothy Leary, & the Animals of NIMH
SOFTETHIX
Experience a day in the life of The Control, a rat living at NIMH, The National Institute of Mental Health, who has just learned how to read. In 1968 Jon Calhoun began his famed Universe 25 experiments at NIMH. He built a mouse utopia with abundant resources for perfect mouse living, but when the inevitable mouse baby boom led to overcrowding, social collapse, violence, abnormal behavior and a lowered birth rate ensued, resulting in the death of the colony.
Follow The Control through the eerie, desolate labyrinth of the institute and meet Timothy Leary, former NIMH researcher and Charles Manson––who may have shared the same California prison as Leary in 1973––and a dolphin named ECCO.
This video is an edited compilation of cutscenes from SOFTETHIX’s forthcoming video game Charles Manson, Timothy Leary, and the Animals of NIMH.
