About State of Mind

✦ AI summary

Investigate a globe-spanning conspiracy as journalist Richard Nolan and five other characters in this sci-fi thriller set in a 2048 surveillance state where mega-corporations promise salvation through AI and digital transcendence. Uncover the truth about your vanished family while grappling with humanity's existential question: can a perfect virtual paradise justify abandoning the material world?

When mind and machine become one – what will remain of humanity?

Berlin, 2048 – The world is on the brink. Lack of resources, illnesses caused by polluted air and water, crime on the rise, war. Governments and companies promise remedies through technological progress. Drones and humanoid robots replace humans in the public sector, everything is interconnected, surveillance has become omnipresent.

Richard Nolan is one of the few journalists openly criticizing this development. When he wakes up in hospital after an explosion and finds that his wife and son have mysteriously vanished, Richard realizes: he and his family have become more than just bystanders in a storm of rivaling ideas pertaining humankind’s salvation between dystopian reality and digital utopia. Instead, they find themselves right at the center of it.

This domestic drama evolves into a thriller about a worldwide conspiracy, which at its core aims to determine the fate of humanity: Could a perfect digital utopia be the answer? A virtual paradise not affected by material needs and quarrels? Could a super-AI be our savior – or would it simply declare us as dispensable since it could not be taught the value of philanthropy?

What will the world look like after this storm, what will remain of humanity?

What Steam players say

✦ AI summary

State of Mind is a unique cyberpunk narrative experience praised for its engaging story, striking low-poly art style, and intriguing European sci-fi setting that draws players in despite its technical shortcomings. However, players consistently criticize the clunky character controls, stiff animations, and wooden character expressions, though these issues are considered tolerable since the game emphasizes story over action.

First of all I will say this game is way different and unique than initially expected and its FABULOUS its one of those games where the story is what keeps you not the graphics even though The artstyle character desgn world building into Polygon graphics is just amazing like there is nothing to complain its just too perfect The story is kind of a slow burn that picks up the pace mid story and its so intense that you can't take your eyes off the screen without knowing what happens next It follows a linear narrative though and most decisions are basically for falvour so don't stress when you pick a choice over other, though at the very end there are 2 very very important decisions that effects the ending and the characters, but still don't stress about it as the game autosaves before decsion so you can go back if you want Another thing to be noted that I liked is you play multiple characters taht important to the story not just one guy so adds perspective and a lot of depth The puzzles are very user friendly and I genuinely enjoyed doing the puzzles FABULOUS GAME OVERALL RATING 100/10

NO SPOILER: First the cons so they are out of the way: - The characters show as many emotions as a Polish guy smiling. (Then it makes sense when you realise that it was made by Germans lol) - The animations overall are not that great and there are a few bugs here and there. - The controls are so awful, it feels like they got the ones from truck simulator and decided to attach them to a human character to see how it would behave. Even Tomb Raider on PS1 was smoother. And it gets worse when NPC are getting in the way That said, the game, is still "playable" as it is not an action game, and you have no time pressure to perform actions throughout the game. The pros; - Happy to see some european SF/cyberpunk, instead of the usual USA/HK/Japanese style, which surprisingly matches what you would expect of a future Berlin. (The lack of caps attached to the plastic bottles surprised me though) - Interesting take on cyberpunk. The story is a rather original, and it starts unveiling after the first chapter. - Chill game, do not expect too much action, but once again, the plot is decent (not the best, not the worst). - The game lasts 8~9 hours. So you can one shot it if you want, or play i…

Well, I kinda like it. I was skeptical at first because the low-poly visual style didn't immediately appeal to me. However, I had a hunch I would enjoy the concept, so I decided "Why not?". The character controls are definitely not flawless - moving around makes you feel like a wobbly cat, sometimes crashing into random walls without any purpose. But globally, I really liked this game. I can definitely recommend it!

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
