    In short, it is far from equaling the pillars from which it is inspired (Outlast, Layers of Fear, Silent Hill ...) or even from being a very good game, despite a certain potential.

    In Sound Mind is a psychological thriller that tells a twisted story about corrupted and ill minds, but fails to be coherent and often presents bad design choices.

    All told, In Sound Mind wasn’t the game I was expecting. But I still found myself pushing forward, eager to uncover a little bit more. If you’ve got any appetite for cerebral horror and puzzle solving, In Sound Mind might be just what you’re looking for.

    In Sound Mind tells an interesting story and provides an intriguing combination of first-person exploration, puzzles and shooting, but it fails to have the impact it could’ve had due to bland visuals, mediocre combat, and the fact that it’s a horror game that isn’t very scary.

    In Sound Mind is an above-average indie project. It is gratifying that the fear presented in the game does not build on cheap jump scares, but systematically builds a thrilling atmosphere.

    In a way, it’s a shame that In Sound Mind has the fundamentals of survival horror down so well I can’t help but imagine how much more compelling it would be if it weren’t let down by its heavy-handed writing and dull enemies.

    In Sound Mind is a solid horror game brought down by massive problems. It never runs smoothly and the controls are imprecise. The worst part during our time with the game was when we had to circumvent a game-breaking bug by triggering another bug on purpose.

    In general, this game is pretty cool, but have a freaking ton of invisible walls that will screw you if you are looking for all collectibles.
