The aggravating thing is, the answer is often staring at you right in the face, but without the usual tooltips or little nods pointing you in the right direction, considerable time can be spent running around in circles before you figure it out. But on the other, In Sound Mind can sometimes leave you a little too in the cold for comfort. On the one hand it makes a refreshing change to have the noggin tested. Simply getting out of the basement is a task, and from there In Sound Mind doesn’t let up. Like horror games of yonder, puzzles lay at the heart of In Sound Mind.

Play a cassette back in your office, and you’ll find that it effectively transports you to a new environment, each closely linked to a tragedy experienced by the patient named on it. You’ll gain access to them one by one, and in each lies a tape cassette. When you gain access to the first floor of the building you’ll also discover more doors, all emanating a bright white light, that lead to the homes of a number of your patients. Yet inexplicably, across the hallway there’s a door that also leads to your house. On the second floor you’ll find your office, where you normally meet with your patients and discuss their problems. But you’ll soon find out that the building itself is anything but ordinary. The question is, how did you end up there, and why? To get answers, your first task is getting the elevator up and running so you can further explore and maybe find a way out. It soon transpires that you’re in the basement of a large building. Playing as a therapist, your ordeal begins as you come to your senses in a dark room.

Though there are some clear influences here, such as Condemned and Alan Wake.
