    Fractured Minds on Xbox One is a brave and admirable attempt at using video games in an effort to reach out to people who have to struggle silently with mental health.

    The truth is that to truly appreciate Fractured Minds and leave the game having been rewarded and touched by its content, it is imperative that you approach it in the knowledge that the actual gameplay and puzzling is entirely secondary to the experience and the message. Not that the puzzling is completely pointless, it’s just heavily weighted to the simplistic...If you can do that, what awaits is wholly unnerving and uncomfortable. Fractured Minds is an insight intended to open eyes wide to the daily turmoil mental health can raise. From the half-light of paranoia to the all too bright light of anxiety, this is a game that makes its mark, and in my opinion, makes those who play it all the richer for having done so.

    It takes roughly 20 minutes in being completed but you can be sure you won't forget them.

    As someone who suffers from anxiety and depression (amongst other things) I was intrigued. I vaguely got what they was trying to do, the smiley bloke is quite a good representation of things. One massive gripe I had though was you can't invert the camera... I mean seriously, in this day & age no inverted camera!? In the bit with the red search lights it was a nightmare, which I suppose was kind of appropriate really.
    For £2 (and the face i believe it was made by 1 person) this is alright, plus it's a very easy 1000 gamerscore.    … Expand

While I did enjoy the metalinguistical aspect of the narration, it ultimately made the game very vague to have any impactful meaning, in my opinion. I get that the point was that you could relate to this game no matter what kind of mental struggle you went through, but I would think the game would benefit from a more direct story.

    With that being said,I understand this game was made by only one developer, and considering that, I think she did a pretty good job, especially considering her age. For her first game, this thing is very solid, and has a message worth spreading.

    Ultimately, the game will only take you 20-30 minutes to beat, and I recommend you check it out. For what it is, I found it to be enjoyable.    … Expand
