State of Mind

Set in a near-future Berlin of 2048, *State of Mind* envisions a world teetering on the edge of collapse. Society is strained by resource shortages, environmental pollution, escalating crime, and ongoing conflict. In response, governments and corporations push for technological solutions, integrating drones, humanoid robots, and pervasive surveillance into daily life. Within this interconnected digital landscape, players follow Richard Nolan, a journalist who openly challenges the prevailing techno-optimism. After surviving a mysterious explosion that leaves his wife and son missing, Richard finds himself entangled in a complex web of competing ideologies about humanity’s future—caught between the harsh realities of a dystopia and the promise of a digital utopia. Gameplay in *State of Mind* blends investigative exploration with narrative-driven progression, as players assume the roles of Richard and five other characters to piece together the story through research, deduction, and interaction with the environment. The game’s distinctive visual style marries realistic settings with stylized, low-poly character designs, creating a striking atmosphere that reflects its themes of transhumanism and digital integration. Players must navigate a society dominated by surveillance and artificial intelligence, uncovering a global conspiracy that questions whether a perfect virtual world could be humanity’s salvation—or its downfall. Supporting Tobii Eye Tracking, the game offers deeper immersion into its augmented reality elements, enhancing the experience of this thought-provoking sci-fi thriller.
