How to Get Diary Of Dr. Peter Paulaner Diaries No. 1 (March, 1913) | Dying Light The Beast

In his first diary entry, Dr. Peter Paulaner listed his first month at St. Valentine Asylum. It all started with his excitement about meeting Dr. Heinrich Fischer. But it slowly turned into unease as he saw the unconventional and terrifying methods used on the patients.

Paulaner's moral conflict reached a new height after observing the irreversible deterioration and predictive abilities of Patient # 023, Edith Mallor. This entry ends with Paulaner deeply disturbed and questioning the true, sinister goal of Fischer's revolutionary methods.

DIARY OF PETER PAULANER NO.1 (MARCH 1913)

Diary Entry 1 (March 1st, 1913):

Today, I began my service at St. Valentine Asylum. The carriage ride to the island was unsettling-fog hung thick over the river. obscuring the distant shore. Still, the asylum itself is on impressive structure. Dr. Heinrich Fischer is highly regarded in the medical community, and I am honored to be chosen as part of this world-renowned institution. The patients here are said to suffer from the most severe forms of mental illness, and it is whispered that Dr. Fischer has developed methods that may revolutionize psychiatry.

Diary Entry 2 (March 5th, 1913):

I met Dr. Fischer today—a man of few words but immense authority. His gaze is unnerving, as though he sees through you entirely. The staff speak of him with reverence. He gave me a tour of the primary wards, though I noticed he carefully avoided certain areas. His methods are unconventional, but there is genius in them. At least, that is what I am told.

Diary Entry 3 (March 10th, 1913):

I've been assigned to assist with the treatment of Patient #001, Jonas Reiss, who suffers from catatonia. Dr. Fischer is conducting a new form of electroconvulsive therapy, which he claims stimulates not only the brain but... something deeper. After today's session, I noticed something peculiar—Reise's eyes flickered for a moment, and a low hum seemed to vibrate in the air. Fischer dismissed it, but I swear something unnatural occurred.

Diary Entry 4 (March 15th, 1913):

Another strange event. Patient #004, Beatrix Langfeld, continues to suffer from hysteria. During her episodes, she speaks of seeing figures lurking in the shadows-figures that no one else can see. I dismissed it as a symptom of her illness, but today, during one of her fits, the temperature in the room dropped sharply. Fischer has increased her isolation sessions, supposedly to "study" her hallucinations more closely. The staff whispers about these "hallucinations," but no one dares to speak openly.

Diary Entry 5 (March 18th, 1913):

Dr. Fischer invited me into his private office today. There, he spoke of the mind not merely as a collection of neurons but as a vessel for energies we do not yet understand. He referenced ancient texts, books bound in leather and older than the asylum itself. He claims that mental illness is merely a symptom of a deeper, untapped power within the mind. I nodded along, but his words left me disturbed. Is this the revolutionary method I was drawn to?

Diary Entry 6 (March 22nd, 1913):

I finally gained access to the restricted ward today. Patients in this section are not merely ill—they are being transformed. Patient #012, Franz Wächter, who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, has begun to exhibit strange phenomena during his episodes. He claims that unseen entities watch him, and while we all dismissed this as delusion, today, the air around him dropped to a frigid chill during a psychotic break. Fischer insists this is a side effect of his treatments. But I wonder... what is he really trying to achieve?

Diary Entry 7 (March 28th, 1913):

I confronted Fischer about Patient #023, Edith Mallor. She is no longer the woman who arrived here just weeks ago. Her personality seems to have fractured irreparably, but in her fractured state, she demonstrates something far more concerning—an ability to predict events moments before they happen. Fischer calls it "evidence" of her psychic potential. I call it abuse. She was strapped to a table when I last saw her, electrodes attached to her skull, as Fischer observed her twitching body. He claims he's "unlocking" something within her.
