This game is currently in the Humble Choice for August 2022, this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before September 6nd, 2022, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
A great example of psychological horror, I think.
The first forty minutes of In Sound Mind had me going. Players begin by exploring a strange basement, and then a building with a lot of odd events happening. There are quite a few moments that had me questioning my sanity, or if I remembered things correctly, and that’s where Psychological Horror is the strongest. There are a few moments that were so well designed that I was amazed.
And then the horror kicked in. Those first forty minutes made me think I could handle In Sound Mind, and then the first scare rattled me so hard, that I questioned if standing still in a location would count as “playing” the game for purposes of the review. I kept trying to continue to play, but In Sound Mind had my number.
I am a scaredy cat, and I don’t like horror at all, so being able to play the first section is nice, but this game feels extremely terrifying though it has a compelling story, so fans of psychological horror or just normal horror, will have something exciting to experience here.
Pick this up if you want to be scared, this game didn’t just get me, it demolished me, and it was done in a skillful way that made me appreciate its craft. The atmosphere and experience here are well designed, as are some of the more unsettling moments.
