MK-Ultra
March 27, 2019
Editor's Note: As of July, 2019, all references to MK-Ultra seem to have been removed from The Last Yandere and DERE.EXE, so the canonicity of the Institute's involvement with the project is currently in question.
MK-Ultra was a top-secret CIA project which lasted from 1953 to 1973. The project became public in a congressional hearing in 1975. The CIA had these experiments take place at 80 institutions, including the Rotschstein Institute. At the time, there were concerns that Soviet, Chinese, and North Korean agencies might have been using mind control techniques on American prisoners from the Korean War. The CIA hoped to develop their own mind control techniques for the cause of manipulating and drugging foreign leaders.
General information about the nature and controversy of this project can be easily found on the internet. This wiki entry will focus on references within the AppSir universe.
In The Last Yandere, Dr. Rotschstein talked about MK-Ultra with Lilith, saying the experiments they’ve done to her brother were superior to the MK-Ultra experiments. He also explained that he wasn’t concerned of the Institute’s experiments getting out into the public, because there was no mass protests or uprisings against MK-Ultra when it was made public.
At the end of DERE.EXE, before Kara was deleted, Darius knew she was raised in a church dormitory setting to become “A human weapon. Something beyond MK-Ultra. A ‘Yandere’.” He likely got this information from the anonymous writer of The Other Yandere.
