My partner and I continued our Gamaween with this genuinely surprise hit of the year.
I seriously wasn’t expecting how good In Sound Mind would be and for We Create Stuff having this as their first full length game really makes me eager to see what they put out next.
This horror game essentially pits you as a psychologist who is going through the many horrific events that their patients experienced as they all broke themselves mentally.
In Sound Mind literally had real life psychologists assist in the making of the game because of how genuinely real a lot of the horrific tragedies that fall upon the patients are.
From mentally breaking down to the loss of loved one to war PTSD to more and more serious issues that do genuinely plague the minds of people around us.
I would call it a classic “early YouTube horror game”. Ya know the one where you roam around first person with a flashlight in a much more upgraded Unity and puzzle your way through its main story?
That’s what this game feels like to me but with loads of love and care poured into its mental health narrative.
As you can imagine, the story is what drove my partner and I to absolutely adore this game and we couldn’t barely put it down. You will sit there wondering what is going on, how do all the pieces fit together and really fall in love it with the world the game gives you which is, the mind of you, the dearest psychologist.
The major attraction for me was the fact the soundtrack was done by internet legends, The Living Tombstone. If you’ve ever heard even ONE of their tracks, you can imagine just how good the music is in this game.
You collect vinyls as you solve the games mysteries and reach your office at the end of every level (known as Tapes) and when you insert the vinyl, gorgeous music plays that represents each patient and character perfectly.
Safe to say. I freakin LOVED In Sound Mind. I think it will go down as one of the most underrated games of this year and it deserves SO much love.
I hope that the game creates enough sales and hype to give We Create Stuff a reason to make bigger and even stronger titles.
