And here is the setting. A city, two mafias, a loner.
I won't post the full lore, only a brief synopsis.
A small private asylum for the mentally ill, located on a small island, finds itself cut off from the rest of the world during a prolonged rainy season.
The primary medical staff are opposed by an alliance of doctors who support
aggressive methods of treatment (no need to follow the link, it's boring), as well as a group of patients from Ward D (for dangerous), where socially dangerous mentally ill individuals are kept.
Everything else is clear from the role descriptions.
Humanist Doctors:1. John Rail, Chief Physician – young and full of enthusiasm, he rejects harsh physical methods of treating the mentally ill. Perhaps a bit naive, but definitely an excellent specialist and administrator.
Role features: double vote, immunity to NA redirection.NA: Psychotherapy – calms the mentally ill: the healed person loses the ability to kill for the following two nights, though the healed person themselves is unaware of this. Works only on players with an "unstable" mental state.
Mental state: stable, non-aggressive.
2. Karl Holstein, Deputy Chief Physician – although he is older than his new boss, he recognizes the authority of his younger colleague. He is more of an experienced administrator than a talented doctor.
Role features: immunity to block.NA: 1 Locks premises – full block of target (blocking any external influences on them)
2 Information gathering - status check (choice of stability level or aggression level).
Mental state: stable, non-aggressive.
3. Catherine Sunny, Head Pharmacist – humane and tender, she pities everyone from a kitten to a violent schizophrenic. Always ready to alleviate suffering with medication.
Role features: immunity to NAs that cause "injury".NA: 1 Therapy – healing or resurrection of the target
2 Sleeping pill – blocks target's NA
Mental state: stable, non-aggressive.
4. Adam Leaves, Psychotherapist-Defectologist – works on correcting higher nervous functions of patients: speech, hearing, and motor skills. With a qualification as a speech therapist, he is a virtuoso at persuasion.

2 Therapeutic gymnastics – deprives the target of their NA for the next night (the target will not find out)
DD:Twice per game, he can sway the voting results toward the outcome chosen by the chief physician (the chief physician is not identified; he simply sends a DD – "influencing the vote").
Mental state: stable, non-aggressive.
5. Peter Fisher, Priest – despite all his respect for science, he believes that the church can also heal the soul. Rational and gentle, he is loved by all. When he spends the night at a patient's bedside, people try not to disturb him.
Role features: Universal Favorite – cannot be executed. Knows Patrick.NA:1 Soul-saving conversation – protects target
2 Prayer – protects self (the attacker loses their NA for the next night; if the NA was not a kill, it simply doesn't work)

DD: diagnosis (results of last night's check are written in the newspaper).

10. Patrick, Junior Janitor – once was one of the patients, but over recent years his condition improved so much that he was declared cured and given a job at the asylum.
