Inside The Asylum is a level that was cut from MediEvil. The level was going to feature Morten the Earthworm in a side-viewed platform section. The level was completely removed from the game,[2] but was later reintroduced with a new design inspired by the arcade game Smash TV.[3]

Textures for the level appear in the MediEvil Rolling Demo. Most of the environmental textures are from The Graveyard level, suggesting that the level was using it as a placeholder map. There are also textures for Morten, a Beetle, a Big Rat, a Monk's Foot and a Woodlouse. Although these models are not in the MediEvil Rolling Demo, they can be found in the MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha.

That platform section never materialized, and we ended up almost having to cut the Asylum interior altogether - until we realized that we could pretty easily create those 'Smash TV' style attack rooms that we finally shipped with. ...Sometimes you put a lot of effort into something and it doesn't pan out and other times something really simple to create totally pays off as those I think those rooms did." — Chris Sorrell, MediEvil developers - Q&A; on MediEvil Boards. Published May 7, 2013.
