* GoAmongMadPeople: Not all the patients are actually ''insane'' many simply possess powers with negative repercussions, or powers that are extreamly dangerous. Sveta is a choice example, as she is completely insane, but possesses a power nearly completely uncontrolled.

Alchemilla is a ShoutOut to SilentHill, but its depiction is largely that of an institution trying to do its best and running into the ever-present issues of staffing and funding, therapy groups and psychologists are present and well-meaning, and most of the inmates are decent people in a bad situation. On the other hand... the lower levels are used as a prison for various superpowered nightmares and creations, and containment is none-too-good, much of the institutional factors are ineffectual at best, and many of the patients probably would have been better suited for the [[{{Oubliette}} Birdcage.]]
