Experience a PT-inspired psychological horror game through a bodycam perspective. This indie simulation delivers 25-35 minutes of tense gameplay in its early access build, emphasizing atmosphere over hand-holding. Players navigate puzzles and shooting segments with a minimal HUD-crosshair appears only on interactable items-while confronting intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, and PTSD symptoms from a confidential mental health report on Special Agent Michael [REDACTED].
The straightforward adventure unfolds without tutorials, demanding attention to environmental cues and emotional distress indicators like guilt replays and startle responses. Fans of atmospheric horror and tactical simulations will appreciate the focus on psychological immersion and no-nonsense progression.
Hi, welcome to the Fractured Mind.
This is a PT inspired psychological horror game, with a bodycam style (shocking, I know, there aren't a lot of those lately...). It's ~25-35 minutes of gameplay. The full game will be over 1 hour, I don't know for sure the full length yet.
It's a fairly simple and straightforward game, with a heavy focus on atmosphere. There are also puzzles and shooting elements (which will be expanded upon in the full build).
The HUD is almost entirely non existent, with the exception of the crosshair which appears only when looking at interactable items.
There is no hand-holding in this game. While not difficult by any means, you do need to pay attention to some things.
