The ''Mental'' series is a series of five games available on [=FreeWorldGroup=]. The main focus of the series is around three mental hospital patients, Fred, Greg and Walter as they attempt to escape from said mental hospital back to their home in the country. In the first game, ''[[http://www.freeworldgroup.com/games6/gameindex/mental.htm Mental]]'', you control each of the three, each with their own abilities to get past the nurses and to freedom. The games that followed were ''[[http://www.freeworldgroup.com/games6/gameindex/the-journey.htm The Journey]]'', which followed Fred as he attempts to get out of a city, with police and mental health workers looking for him. Then there was ''[[http://www.freeworldgroup.com/games6/gameindex/in-the-woods.htm In the Woods]]'', that followed Walter who must find his way out of the woods that he escaped into. Next was ''[[http://www.freeworldgroup.com/games6/gameindex/mental-showtime.htm Mental Showtime]]'', that followed Greg, who must find his way out of a circus after he had been captured by an evil ringmaster as he was looking for his friends. This all culminated in [[GrandFinale one last game]], ''[[http://www.freeworldgroup.com/games6/gameindex/mentalmurdermostfoul.htm Mental: Murder Most Foul]]'', where the trio must escape from a city after reuniting, with the authorities hot on their heels after the body count that they had racked up in the previous games turns them into wanted criminals.

* VillainProtagonist: All three of them! As they all go about their business of escaping, they end up killing innumerable amounts of people just to get to where they need to be. ''The Journey'' even has Fred [[spoiler: ''set a building on fire and jumping off one of the escapees as they try to leap to safety'']]! Odds are that murdering is what landed them in the mental hospital in the first place! This comes back to bite the trio in ''Murder Most Foul'', where they're now the most wanted criminals in the country after all the killings that they've done.
