THE STORY
After the mysterious death of Dr. Pokorny, Dr. Novak,
relatively unknown by many, takes over the illustrious
psychotherapy practice. At the same time he inherits
Mrs.Ruzicka, the secretary of the deceased psychologist.
In the hands of Dr.Novak, the practice is less then
flourishing. One morning, Dr.Novak receives a box of audio
tapes – Recorded psychotherapy sessions to be exact – and
he is asked to listen to them and give his insightful
analysis of its content. Sadly, things take a turn for the
worst for Dr.Novak. His troubled mind seems to be getting
the best of him...Or does it? You decide. You are this
psychotherapist. You are Dr.Novak...And your task is to
carefully analyze and give your insight on the recorded
therapy sessions. Ultimately, your answers will determine
your own fate, Dr. Novak.
