— Abe to the patient
|
Abe White is an orderly of Blackwood Pines Sanatorium in The Inpatient. He's in charge of securing the patient to reach his cell. He is voiced by Max Lloyd-Jones and modeled on Leonardo Patane.
Appearance[]
Abe is a young, Caucasian man with brown eyes and dark brown hair worn in a slicked side part. As with most of the staff at the sanatorium, Abe wears special white-colored clothing. His uniform consists of a white button-down dress shirt, matching pants, black shoes, a black vest, and a purple bow tie. He also wears black browline glasses and, like Victoria LaBoucher and many of the other staff, a button on the upper side of the vest with the initials BPS for Blackwood Pines Sanatorium.
Personality[]
Abe comes across as a friendly young man with a laid-back and positive attitude. He tries to use humor to put his charges at ease and make things easier at the Sanatorium. He's sometimes asked by Victoria to help attend to unruly patients like Mr. Bellows. He has a crush on fellow staff member Suzanne Daniels and tries speaking with her in a friendly and somewhat flirty way, but she doesn't appear to be interested. He even wrote Suzanne a love letter, which the patient will be able to find, showing Abe has a romantic side.
The Inpatient[]
Abe isn't seen for very long during the course of The Inpatient. He's the patient's orderly, and is in charge of taking him/her to and from the cell in a wheelchair. The patient eventually remembers that it was Abe who found him/her hiding in the closet.
After the initial session with Dr. Bragg, Abe will be called in to escort the patient back to their holding cell. While wheeling the patient down a long corridor, Abe will pass nurse Suzanne Daniels, who will pass by without acknowledging him. Abe will ask the player a certain question depending on the sex of the patient regarding his love possibilities with Suzanne. After the interaction, he wheels the patient to the elevator and ascends to the second floor. Upon arrival, Victoria LaBoucher will request his help dealing with one of the other patients. Afterwards, Abe will take the patient to their cell where they will spend the next weeks or months.
In the next scene, Abe will return to the cell and accidentally leaves a letter to Suzanne that the patient can read later and help the patient take their first steps after the Bragg treatment. Later, he will rush back in and ask if he left his sheet of "notes." The patient can answer if the letter was read or not. When The Patient meets Anna/Gordon they can look outside from their cell they will see Abe waiting for Suzanne but when she passes Abe tries to talk to her but she leaves then Abe goes to turn off the lights. Later he is seen behind running towards the cell when the alarm rings and then he turns off the lights.
After that, Abe we will not appear again except for in nightmare sequences and clues. Depending on the choices Abe can escape from Blackwood Sanatorium before it is completely overun by Wendigos with Victoria. In order to save Abe (as well as Victoria), the player must:
- Follow Abe in the first nightmare
- Follow the wolf in the third nightmare
- Eat the bug after initially refusing.
Possible Death[]
Abe's body
When the Sanatorium is ransacked and the patient's cell is broken open, Abe's body can be found just to the left side of door. The young orderly is lying on a patient stretcher with several cuts across his face and a large bloody mark on his neck caused by a Wendigo. When the patient finds him, Abe is already very pale.
