Psychological Horror Game with Mixed Execution
In Sound Mind is a first-person psychological horror adventure game that immerses players in a chilling narrative centered around Desmond Wales, a counselor trapped in a nightmarish environment. The game invites you to explore a mysterious building, where you must solve clever puzzles that revolve around the backstories of the patients Desmond once treated. While the puzzles are engaging and the storyline is rich, the combat mechanics are standard, and the balance between horror and action is somewhat skewed, making for a unique yet flawed experience. The game also features platforming and stealth elements, though these may feel inconsistent and detract from the overall immersion.
With a focus on story and character development, In Sound Mind captivates players with its intriguing premise and atmospheric soundtrack. However, the gameplay suffers from issues such as lag and repetitive graphics, which can disrupt the experience. Additionally, the lack of a map complicates navigation through the expansive environments, and the absence of save points can lead to frustration. While the game has potential, its execution leaves much to be desired, making it a mixed bag for players seeking a horror adventure.
