In Sound Mind

Проходил данную игру с удовольствием, выбивая все достижения. Очень интересная задумка, где мы - психиатр, в голове которого и происходят все действия. Пытаемся разобраться в себе, в своем прошлом и в своих пациентах, которые выступают эдакими боссами на каждом уровне. При всем при этом, при погружении в игру и сюжет - начинаешь переживать этим самым пациентам-боссам, ведь за каждым скрывается непростая история и причина тех или иных поступков. Каждая кассета, которую мы проигрываем - это уровень со своими интересными механиками, стилистикой и пациентом. Игра не ужастик все-таки, как написано на странице в описании, но все же рекомендую играть ночью в наушниках конечно же. Атмосфера тут отличная. И юмор проскакивает среди гнетущей атмосферы, что усиливает этот самый эффект юморной. И драмы, способной заставить задуматься и даже пробить на слезу опять таки при погружении в игру и в сюжет. P.S. В этом хорроре манекены союзники, которые заставляют улыбаться и протягивают руки помощи в буквальном смысле =) Хотя поначалу возникали мысли - о, а это стереотипные манекены сейчас будут пугать на уровне. Разработчики полны креатива

[h1]A MUSICAL HORROR!![/h1] In all my life, I never would have thought that I would come across a horror musical, but here I am with this masterpiece in front of me! As a fan of both The Living Tombstone and horror games, this is one of my favourite games now. The gameplay is very unique and I haven't seen much like this before; the mirror shard mechanic is scary and it makes me feel like I am actually in the tape- great immersion!! The plot is very good too, I have just finished tape 2 and I am loving the story and I am excited to learn more about this entity and how this gas could be effecting the patients. 'Bottom of the Pit' is an amazing song too, being on of my favourite TLT songs! This is a MUST-BUY game! I will edit my review as I play through the game!

was getting interested in the game until the homa mart level, there is no way to avoid the ghost coming after you, initialy it seems like its going to be slenderman rules when it says "stop watching me" and im just like "ok cool, i wont look at her" but she comes after you regardless if you are looking at her or not. The health penalty for being attacked by her a single time wasnt so bad, but I just get caught in an infinite attack loop from the purple ghost and theres no way to hide or disengage from her once she is chasing you. again this happens regardless if you are looking at her or not creating a very unfotunate barrier for a game that could have been very promising to play.

Just finished my 2nd playthrough, just as good as the first. Maybe even better with full hindsight to help understand the story. The final boss fight was little lack luster compared to all of the setup leading into it the entire game, but the game has still earned my top marks. 10/10

This game is great. If you want to play it however, keep in mind that the physics are tied to the framerate, so make sure you limit it to 60fps.

Fun game for those who do not tolerate much horror, especially in single-player. Its interesting story keeps you engaged throughout the experience, while the constant creepy atmosphere makes traveling around the maps fun.

Parece simples, mas tem uma historia sensacional, as vezes rola uma quebra de expectativa bizarra você percerber como um studio indie consegue entregar uma lore tão completinha, até o final que parecia que não seria tão bom por conta do "metodo de batalha" acabou surpreendendo no dialogo final, as fichas de todos os pacientes são muito bem escritas além disso a gameplay muito gostosinha e bem ituitiva (e sem tinta amarela).

In Sound Mind is a phenomenal dark psychological thriller-type game told through the lenses of a psychologist, Desmond Wales, trying to come in terms with himself. The game is innovative insofar that it dives into themes of Jungian Psychology through progressive narration and immersive story-telling, with aspects of the plot and facets of psychology becoming clearer as progress into the game is made. While predominantly relying in the show-don't-tell method, there are times when exposition becomes explicit and missed opportunities when parts of the game plot might be left symbolic rather than literal (e.g., what Agent Rainbow could represent). Personally, I found that some psychological concepts and theories did not fare well with being integrated into the game and its plot line (e.g., Collective Unconscious). The game has an engaging plot interweaved with awesome level design, stimulating puzzles, dark horror-adjacent undertones and surprising humour, and complemented by great graphics and audio engineering. There is some pioneering novelty in the surprises the game throws at the player, specifically the changes the player will experience while changing his/her in-game field-of-view, which never fails to add an exctiting element of surprise and awesomeness! For fans of horror, while the game induces some elements of hesitation by fear-of-the-unknown in the beginning (up to and including 1st level; perhaps 2nd level for some), the horror element tapers off and the experience turns into a puzzle-solving, story-driven game more akin to dark psychological thriller. Overall, it is a great game that is sure to keep you engaged, offer food for thought, and leave a poignant conclusion at the finale. 8.0/10.0 "I wish this had a happier ending, but life doesn't work that way."

Good stuff
