    One of the most imaginative, and thought provoking games I have played. It has some issues but the overall game is fantastic. I enjoyed every second.

    One hoped for a lot.
    Only IN SOUNDS MIND is a common horror game with very weak scary moments, strange puzzles and a lot of walking simulator. You have seen much better there.

    It's a good game, maybe it doesn't have much replay value after finishing it, but it's a very good experience, plus it was on an offer in the Microsoft Store that I couldn't refuse, recommended for those who like mystery

    Worst "game" i've ever played. Do not waste your time. I played it on PC but this site won't let me post a review there, I wouldn't be shocked if it was a developer decision and not a site problem cause holy crap this was a tasteless and garbage experience. Voice acting was good though, so hooray for that I guess.

    super interesting game with a lot going for it. Creepy, interesting gameplay, decent writing with some twisted humor, hallucinogenic-like the whole way through. Has a RE:Biohazard/The Evil Within 2 feel but uniquely it's own. Would love to see them make a higher def version in the future but as it is the visuals, sound and music set this up to be a great experience.

    In spite of some obvious technical shortcomings, the game is just splendid. One of those to become a classics.

    In Sound Mind is an ambitious horror title that throws us into real nightmares, giving life to highly varied situations but lacking in the horror component, with a few really scary situations and some gameplay design choices leading to monotony rather than tension. Despite this, it remains an interesting product with a good longevity, deserving the attention of fans of the genre.

    I think the biggest standout is the atmosphere. For a game that has nearly cartoony visuals and NO gore at all (this game is rated T) it still hit those tension marks I would expect from a good horror game. I was thoroughly surprised with the entire experience and just in time for the Halloween season. This is one game that I recommend whole-heartedly for anyone looking for a good psychological horror game that focuses more on exploration and puzzles than full on combat. Don’t sleep on this one. It’s pretty great.

    In Sound Mind hears what a lot of horror fans have been saying for some time. Horror does not have to be jump scares. It doesn’t have to be Chris Redfield lock-and-loading incendiary rounds. It can be paranoid, drenched with atmosphere rather than blood, and if there’s anything that We Create Stuff should be proud of, it’s that they’ve absolutely hit this bullseye.
