  • Atmosphere and sound design create a creepy, tense, and immersive horror experience without relying on jump scares.
  • Short and free game that offers satisfying survival horror gameplay with simple but interesting puzzles and combat.
  • Shows clear influence and connections to the developer's other titles, providing a nostalgic and polished feel, while being a neat prototype or standalone experience.
  • Combat mechanics, particularly axe controls and hit detection, feel clunky, slow, and sometimes frustrating to use.
  • Very short game length with sudden or rushed ending, providing limited content and replayability.
  • Some puzzle elements can be confusing or misleading, and minor issues with backtracking/navigation due to lack of maps or waypoints.

  • story

    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is a simple yet suspenseful horror narrative centered around an abandoned facility and a mysterious incident, with elements of creepy atmosphere and light survival mechanics. Although fairly short and somewhat vague on lore, it effectively builds intrigue and sets the stage for potential expansions or related titles. Reviewers appreciate its strong storytelling for a free game, especially compared to typical jump-scare-focused horror games.

    • “There is suspense, there's a logical story and there are nice and simple mechanics. I would recommend you give it a try.”
    • “Days without incident sets the groundwork for a potentially amazing follow-up or expansion of the story.”
    • “A fantastic little story about a seemingly abandoned facility with a hint of monstrosities.”
    • “The story is the standard: company did something with some weird matter and things turned to chaos.”
    • “I'm not quite sure the story survives contact with the boss fight. I'm not sure I understand the mechanism by which such a being could be created other than by unnatural unexpected death causing monstrous manifestations from beyond the grave. But sure, it's a horror game so we can handwave that sort of granular plot nit-picking.”
    • “Story is straightforward and about 45 minutes to an hour on your first play-through, but once you understand everything it could be 30 minutes or less.”

  • gameplay

    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    29% positive mentions, 61% neutral mentions, 10% negative mentions

    The gameplay is generally praised for its immersive atmosphere, suspense, and straightforward mechanics that offer a solid, if brief, horror experience. While some find certain mechanics like melee combat clunky or slow and others feel some elements could be reworked or underutilized, the overall gameplay is enjoyable, fluid, and captures the intended mood effectively.

    • “Other than that, very fluid gameplay and a really immersive atmosphere.”
    • “The weapons make you feel powerful, and the gameplay is easy and straightforward to learn, so you always know what you’re supposed to be doing.”
    • “Again, despite my quibbles, the core gameplay is solid, and the atmosphere is creepy and unnerving, which is all you can ask for in a horror game.”
    • “We have many elements from other games mixed here together and the result is quite good, albeit gameplay is a bit clunky.”
    • “Then we have a leaning mechanic that wasn't used by me in the entire playthrough because it's useless.”
    • “Back on track with actual gameplay, the enemy encounters aren't hard: they stop when they attack, do practically no damage, there are medkits everywhere and they are basically twigs with 'red cone vision' who follow a set path... except one it seems.”

  • atmosphere

    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    32% positive mentions, 57% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

    The game excels in creating a consistently eerie and immersive atmosphere, with its black-and-white visuals, creepy factory setting, and effective sound design contributing to a tense, unnerving experience. While not heavily reliant on jump scares, the atmosphere keeps players on edge through dynamic environments and spooky lighting effects. Though some find the scares mild, the overall mood and tension are praised as the game's strongest elements.

    • “Fantastic game with an eerie black and white atmosphere and creepy corridors in an abandoned factory.”
    • “The atmosphere was very well built, and the map changing around you was very effective at keeping me off guard.”
    • “As a fan of urban exploration videos, this really does well with capturing the grungy atmosphere of an abandoned factory, and really lends itself well to providing an uncomfortably chilling experience.”
    • “The atmosphere for me was lacking too.”
    • “Loved the atmosphere but sadly not that scary.”
    • “Some of the graphics are a little primitive, and the melee combat (as is so often the case) gargles gooch (it's almost inevitable that no matter how well you time your axe blows, you're going to suffer some damage), but damnit all, there's some serious atmosphere on display here, and the gameplay is quite enjoyable.”

  • graphics

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 42% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The graphics receive mixed feedback, with some users appreciating the creative, atmospheric art style that fits the creepy vibe and evokes a "Half-Life 2 horror map" aesthetic, while others note occasional primitiveness and lack of graphics customization options causing issues on some PCs. Overall, the visuals effectively enhance the game's mood and enjoyment.

    • “The graphics of the game perfectly fit the creepy vibe, and the monster design matches the atmosphere really well.”
    • “The graphics are amazing.”
    • “The graphics are cool and simple; I like it.”
    • “My PC had issues with the graphics, and you can't change the graphics settings.”
    • “Some of the graphics are a little primitive, and the melee combat can be frustrating, but the game has serious atmosphere and enjoyable gameplay.”
    • “The game's graphics have a 'Half Life 2 horror map' aesthetic, which some might find very similar across titles.”

  • optimization

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 40% negative mentions

    The game demonstrates excellent optimization, achieving smooth performance at high frame rates on a 1440p 165Hz display despite Unity's known challenges with Vulkan and DX12. Developers have effectively fine-tuned and baked lighting to overcome typical Unity performance issues.

    • “I breezed through the entire game with zero performance issues on my 1440p 165Hz display with 165 FPS.”
    • “The developers did a great job baking their lights and optimizing the game. Even though Unity is really good at making DX11 optimized games, I congratulate the devs for taking a step further and tweaking it themselves.”
    • “As a fellow Unity developer myself, I know how poor Unity is; even today, it struggles with Vulkan and DX12 games due to horrendous performance issues, forcing developers to have no other choice.”
    • “☐ poor optimization”

  • grinding

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is notably tedious and requires significant effort, often feeling ineffective, such as when weapons seem useless against monsters. Players may need to invest considerable time or attempts to progress due to this repetitive gameplay.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “There I meet monsters upon whom my axe, after tediously switching to it from my torch, seems pretty much useless.”
    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”

  • music

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music in "In Sound Mind" is highly praised for perfectly complementing the game's chilling and atmospheric horror vibe. It enhances the sense of dread and tension without relying on jump scares, contributing significantly to the overall immersive experience.

    • “I love the music it is perfect!”
    • “Free or not, this game is a wonderful mix of music, horror, charm and everything to keep you satisfied.”
    • “The background music is very chilling, creating a strong atmosphere without relying on jump scares.”
