autosave sucks

I wanted to like this game, but having to replay the same things all over again to progress a day later sucks. Unless there will be an update for saving when we want, it's catching dust on the shelve. I wanted to know more because it has a cyberpunk style on high heels sort of. Until now we only have seen the dwellers from the dirty underground in tattoos and colorful haircuts. For the first time (maybe not) we get a look in the lifes of the higher class of people who think they are it. I wanted to know more about the car accidents the main characters got envolved and that Mars thing. I'm tired replaying and called it off for now. AUTOSAVE SUCKS in this game.

A "work of love" as many said. Intense.

I am impressed with the game. Some people say it is a "work of love", and I entirely agree with that. The development team poured lots of attention to detail, thought, and affection into the game. The production values are high. The polygonal textures were probably used to decrease the amount of the developmental work (otherwise it would be insane), however the developers used the textures artfully, and the art stands out on its own. Some people are critical of the mini-games (puzzles) as the "filler", but I disagree with them. The puzzles are simple, but they are used to interject the flow of story, and make me realise how I am impatient to learn what will happen next in the story. I think the puzzles are appropriate. The game started monotonous, and looked "samey". In the past quarter of the game, I was impressed with the many changes of the scenery, and with the pace of the story. All of the places were beautifully and lovingly drawn. The story presented the moral dilemmas, and it was not "black or white". This appealed to me, an adult. This gave a depth to the game. I was able to be compassionate to the characters, and the game incited an intense emotional response from me... in the last quarter of the game. It took me 14 hours to beat the game... while the average reported time was 4.5 hours. I have no idea why, because I did not waste my time.

Somewhat flawed masterpiece!

Very deep, slow, mature, and underrated! Deals with inequality/poverty, war/terror, super-AI, robotic future, VR, relationship problems, and so on. There's no humour in this game, it's all pretty dark. A fantasticly crafted vision of the future, very detailed, and much larger and more polished than I had expected. Sounds and music really help to immerse you into the story! I'm pretty sure there are a bunch of choices that impact the story, but I don't know for sure. You can't play this in a hurry, or if you expect action, or collecting stars/coins or anything like that. This is a very slow and detailed game, you need to be in the mood for some sci-fi relaxing and just sink into the world - something that is pretty easy since it's all so beautiful and well made. There are a couple of puzzles that are pretty annoying though...really annoying actually. Most puzzles are very easy, but still a bit fun/relaxing, but the annoying ones all have to do with labyrinths sort of, and they are not fun at all. Just watch a walkthrough if you get stuck though, no big deal. Also I didn't like the story much towards the last third or so, it just got a bit too much for my taste, pretty complex and just overdone - I liked the first part best, when everything was bilding up and was more of a mystery. If the game crashes towards the end, which it did for me and quite a few others, what seems to help is setting everything to lowest and try again! That old bug apparently ain't fixed yet, cause I got it 2022 with newest game version, newest drivers and all Windows updates etc! Anyway, really good game, specially at 90% sale which is what I got it for!

Successful

I was completely amazed by State of Mind's plot and characters. Some plot twists were really surprising. And I would definitely enjoy playing more games by these developers. It certainly is more successful in a conceptual level than in its execution, but all its shortcomings could be solved with a bigger budget. It is a mature, thought-provoking game that defied my expectations. Well written, well designed, with some shortcomings as a game, but really successful when it comes to storytelling. It is a yes from me.

Into the abyss

It's hard to describe this game without spoiling too much of the story. Think Neuromancer, Bladerunner and Ghost in the Shell, mixed with Daedalics usual high-class imagination and ideas, give it a good stir and you get this game (maybe). Richard storx about his lost memories is only the beginning, there's much much more to this than it appears at first. And there are many things seemingly irrelevant and trivial which later on become important. Unlike your typical adventure there are very little items and no real item-hunting, instead the story is driven by dialogs and the interactions between characters. As there are several playable characters (you switch as the story moves on) and even though there is no instance where you play the same scene from two different perspectives, some events are seen through different persons eyes. Keeping with the dystopian cyberpunk theme, the overall atmosphere and setting of the game world is mostly dark and somewhat depressing at times. In contrast, there are places and locations which are exceeedingly bright and colorful just to make a point. The voice actors (for the german version) are good as usual, only in a few places I would have preferred different ones. Overall, the game is less of a typical adventure but more of an interactive story (in keeping with Daedalics history) which you play through and experience. But don't expect to be finished in a few hours, this game is quite long! So, if you want to experience this different and yet still somewhat reminiscent world I can highly recommend this game.
