Fractured Mind

Active Now

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.

Avoidance Behaviors:
Special Agent [REDACTED] avoids situations or stimuli associated with traumatic memories. His refusal to engage in certain activities jeopardizes mission success.
