[Free with Prime Gaming Aug 24th] In Sound Mind - Everything you need to know in 2 minutes!
0In-Sound-Mind invites players to delve into the twisted mindscapes of tormented patients through the eyes of Desmond, a psychiatrist seeking answers. This first-person psychological thriller weaves a narrative tapestry that transcends typical horror game conventions. In a refreshing departure from jump-scare tactics and bland palettes, the game prioritizes an unsettling atmosphere that creeps under your skin as you navigate its eerie landscapes.
With Desmond as your guide, you explore an impossible building acting as a hub to the nightmarish worlds of his patients. By uncovering therapy session recordings, you gain entry into their realms, each with its own distinct mechanic for puzzle-solving and facing the tormentors that plague them. As you journey through four main chapters, the game shifts between an engaging story and moments of confusion, leaving you questioning the connections between cases.
In-Sound-Mind flexes its creativity through its variety of gameplay elements and gimicks. The puzzles are thought-provoking without becoming overly obscure, though the game's later shift to gunplay, stealth, and platforming feels somewhat out of step. While these mechanics are its weaker points, the game's unique approach doesn't lose its distinct personality.
Clocking in at around 10 hours, In-Sound-Mind offers an intriguing experience, marred slightly by pacing issues and over-reliance on lacking gameplay aspects. The horror might be too subtle for some, and its storyline pacing could test patience. Yet, these criticisms don't overshadow the game's imaginative world-building and commitment to offering something different in the psychological horror genre. It's still an above-average experience with a personality all its own.
Overall, I give this game 68%
