The way to solve this puzzle all you need to do is to look at the CCTV footage in order and find at least one number from one CCTV camera that is spread out in a whole shopping complex, put it together and VOILA you get the code! This whole puzzle can take time since you also need to restore power to the surveillance room and read some clues from documents, but the payoff is rewarding because you get four medicines.

For example, there’s this surveillance room where you can open up a safe, but the code is hidden where the security camera supposedly can’t spot it. Thankfully, In Sound Mind they are cleverly put together and fit nicely with each area that you’re exploring. Puzzles can very love it hate it affairs for me. That being said, Medicine is not easy to get, because it involves solving the game puzzle-solving, which we’ll get to in the next section. One cool idea is that the piece of glass you use as a melee weapon can also be used to find hidden items and messages by looking through it.įinding new items is pretty satisfying and gives you a brief sense of relief knowing that you are at least one more health item away from dying. The more progress you make, the more stuff you can get, like food to restore health, ammunition for your pistol, and medicine which increases your stats. This one top often just leaves you in the dark. I understand older horror titles like Resident Evil and Silent Hill had a lot of confusing exploration but they also had maps that clearly marked where everything was so you could easily decide where to go next. And if you’re being chased by an enemy, it’s admittedly intense but after time can become just a pain. This is one of the weaker aspects of the game, without a proper map and so much to explore it can be hard to progress at times not knowing if you’ve missed something and need to go back. There’s a lot of backtracking in this game and with no accessible map, you better make sure to memorize everything you learn. In Sound Mind makes use of many assortments of creepy areas, from your dark apartment complex to a meat factory and like your classic horror, you better make sure to explore every inch of each area to find clues. There are three main gameplay portions in In Sound Mind, which are exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat. It puts really puts you on edge and makes you wonder when he’ll show up next. It comes out of nowhere and you’d never see it coming. One of the best moments I had playing it, is when I was reading a document in this one room when suddenly I turn around its the main villain is just casually walking up to me, just to tell you “someone’s getting along” before he disappears. It just feels forced and out of place.Īll of this being said, the game can be scary.

Likes there’s a couple of recurring jokes about how our main character makes funny sounds when eating.

In general, I’d say the game sometimes takes the comedic elements too far. Some people make say I shouldn’t take the game so seriously but his voice actor is trying way too hard to make the character intimidating but end up sounding goofy.

He’s just a little too over the top for someone that’s supposed to fit into a tragic horror game. One character I’m not a fan of however is the main villain. It also helps that his voice actor Mick Lauer is good and really gets you into the character. He puts his neck out for other people without thinking about himself, making him feel far more heroic than the usual reluctant anti hero’s you usually see in the horror genre. Desmond is a very responsible and active protagonist, who truly cares about his patients, mainly with a girl named Virginia, who let’s just say has a pretty rough backstory. I ended up really getting into the story as I really liked the main character. Your mission is simple: stay awake, try to keep your sanity, and find a way to stop the madness before you are consumed by your own twisted imagination. Soon when he wakes up inside a twisted version of his apartment complex where he finds out that a mysterious skull-faced individual (the guy on the cover) has been the cause of all of these incidents.

He’s not doing the best at his job though, having to deal with a bizarre series of cases where many of his patients have lost their minds to the point where they ended up dying or even committing suicide. Follow game takes place in an imaginary world inside memories of our main character, psychiatrist Desmond Wales.
