The premise, in the publisher's words

The mascot, Stanley, begins trying to kill you after the mind of the company’s owner, Harvey Lamont, is transferred into him. Trapped inside Stanley’s mechanical body, Harvey slowly loses his sense of self, and the mascot becomes violent and unpredictable. The story takes place inside the largest nursery in America, a once-cheerful facility designed for children. Over time, Stanley becomes responsible for 505 deaths—455 children and 45 adults. Bob, Jay’s close friend, is the third victim, making the danger personal long before the full truth is revealed. Throughout the game, a calm, guiding narrator speaks to the player. What isn’t immediately obvious is that the narrator is Harvey Lamont…
