I get sick on car rides and sometimes, I get super lucky and get motion sickness with 1st person games….this was one of those games.


And let me give a warning for anyone with severe motion sickness. You can play a solid hour before it is even remotely interesting. It’s not until really sinking into the minds of your deceased patients does the game sink its teeth into you. My favorite may be the waterlogged second psyche that you are to explore.

The graphics are, well, they are indie graphics, so they aren’t fantastic but for what it is, they create full and eerie environments. If you have played that game and then this one, you may know what I’m talking about. Something about this really reminds me of the Haunted Mansion game for PS2. The idea is so fresh and makes for a much more unsettling way around the levels. It allows for better sneaking and finding your way since there is really no guidance. If you are confused about your next goal, face away from where you are looking and bring the shard to your face and its reflection will show you items you need to complete tasks, messages left by the damaged psyche and the big bad his or herself. This shard of glass can cut police tape, break boards and show you items, ghosts and hidden messages. This shard isn’t your average shard, nay nay. Speaking of the first tape, that is where you will get my favorite mystery mouskatool, the shard of glass.

It’s possible to get the gun really early but my dumb butt didn’t completely solve the puzzle. You will listen to an intro tape but the first actual level is the grocery store and please, for the love of dogs, get that gun before then. I will give you a tip…get the gun BEFORE you listen to your first OFFICIAL tape. Because you will be backtracking to the apartment building in between each tape, there will be new places that open up as you progress and get the tools you need to access the area. I walked around the same Halloween for a good 25 minutes before figuring out what I needed to do. To progress, you need to solve puzzles and this game does NOT hold your hand when it comes to puzzles. In Sound Mind is a strange ride and one that took a while to get into. As you listen to a tape, you are transported inside their dark psyche’s to try and find out what is twisting their minds and what connection they might have to each other. As you make your way to your office, which happens to be in the same building, you start to find tapes from a handful of patients who have reportedly died. There are barrels full of leaking purple fluid around the building and it’s fumes are harmful and strange creatures police the halls. No one is around and when you look out the windows, it’s dark and the streets are flooded with water. You wake up in the basement of your apartment complex with no recollection of how you got there. Desmond Wales, a psychiatrist in Milton Haven. With that being said In Sound Mind from We Create Stuff and Modus Games is one of those games that feels strange, artistic and a little off the rails. There’s a big wild card expectation of them. If AAA horror games were a family in the suburbs, indie horror would be the crazy old man covered in deer pelts living in the middle of the woods. Whereas many AAA games are designed for public consumption, indie games are created with less boundaries.
