Mechanics

In Fractured Minds we observe the action from first-person perspective. The game was divided into six short levels. By exploring each of these stages, we must face the problems faced every day by people suffering from mental disorders, such as isolation, anxiety or a distorted perception of everyday situations. Individual challenges are presented in the form of logic and environmental puzzles, which include the search for specific objects or the manipulation of objects in the game world.
