In the latter case, somewhat awkward console controls don’t help – you need to be quite precise with your cursor to interact with something, and this is no doubt easier on a PC due to a lack of some kind of auto-snap function on the PS5 (although we could see this being patched in later).Ĭompleting deep dives into these minds grants you access to new tools and abilities, which in turn lets you uncover more of the initial/hub building, giving the game an exploration element as you see more and more of it. You’ll also regularly run into the antagonist in these scenarios, resulting in boss fight-like challenges – which sometimes also include a bit of creative thinking and/or time pressure. With the psychology angle of the narrative, this seems like a logical choice and it works well, as things that aren’t quite clear in the shadows make you feel uneasy – as they should.Įntering someone else’s mind essentially transports you to an enclosed game area that plays out like a horror/thriller scenario but also has its fair share of puzzles. In Sound Mind relies heavily on atmosphere and a tense setting to make you feel on edge, rather than delivering a clear cut story with tons of action and jump scares. It sounds a tad vague, but this is intentional. You also find out that some of your former patients are somehow connected to the game’s main antagonist, and to find out more you have to dive into their minds in order to uncover the truth. Protagonist Desmond Wales is a psychological therapist, who at the start of the game wakes up in a somewhat ominous-looking building that looks like it could use some upkeep. There was a PC demo for Halloween last year, but other than that we haven’t been able to go hands on with it – until now. It stuck out because it felt like a bold move from a third party developer/publisher, and made us curious to see the game in action. When In Sound Mind was announced last year, it was one of the first titles to skip the previous (but still huge) last generation of consoles and go for a next gen only release.
