State of Mind for PS4, PC and etc. is an adventure game set in a dystopian world, created by Daedalic Entertainment – a developer popular mainly for The Whispered World, The Night of the Rabbit, Memoria, as well as both the Blackguards and Deponia series.

Plot

The game is set in Berlin, 2048. As perceived by the creators, the future does not bring any optimistic connotations to mind, for in the world of the game, humanity is being torn apart by constant wars, resources depleting and governments aimed at establishing their regimes. The situation is extremely bad, for humans have begun abandoning the physical world through digitalizing consciousness of every single one of them and settling in a utopian, virtual environment known as City 5.

State of Mind for PS4, PC and etc. tells a story of Richard Nolan, who decided to join the digital paradise, along with his wife and daughter. In case of the protagonist however, something went wrong when the transfer was being made, for only a part of his consciousness was successfully digitalized. As a result, there is a living body in Berlin, but only fragments of Nolan's personality remain within it. The player's task is to finish the data transfer and allow the protagonist to join his family. On their way however, the player will stumble on a conspirational plot that can change the course of history.

Mechanics

State of Mind is an adventure game based on a classic formula. The player explores the in-game locations, talks to other characters, gathers items and solves puzzles. The game offers a diversified set of riddles which require both utilizing different objects found during the game and completing mini-games, which challenge the players witts.

The player takes on the roles of several different characters – both those in Berlin and City 5. Actions taken in one reality affect the situation in the other.

Technical aspects

State of Mind for PS4, PC and etc. offers unusual, three-dimensional visuals filled with sharp curvatures and geometric solids, which makes this game a little bit retro-futuristic.
