State of Mind
Berlin, 2048 – The world is on the brink. Lack of resources, illnesses caused by polluted air and water, crime on the rise, war. Governments and companies promise remedies through technological progress. Drones and humanoid robots replace humans in the public sector, everything is interconnected, surveillance has become omnipresent. Richard Nolan is one of the few journalists openly criticizing this development. When he wakes up in hospital after an explosion and finds that his wife and son have mysteriously vanished, Richard realizes: he and his family have become more than just bystanders in a storm of rivaling ideas pertaining humankind’s salvation between dystopian reality and digital utopia. Instead, they find themselves right at the center of it.

A visual story/detective story in a cyberpunk-style future with stylized polygon graphics.
+ Visually strong style, even if the people design feels a little awkward.
+ Very decent voice acting.
+ Good contrast between two worlds.
+ Very good set-up for the story, most things are signaled well.
- Choices do not feel very consequential.
- Controls feel a little slow/sticky.
- The pupils REALLY bug me.
- Some of the arcade/stealth sections feel out of place in the rest of the gameplay.
Very good on a discount, and it takes about 10 hours to finish the story.

I read many of the reviews before purchase and decided against to buy regardless. In my defense it was on sale. And I am glad I did. The game is a little clunky, sure. But so are many other games in this style. I found the story intriguing and made me question ai, moral grey areas and what consists of a family. I had no idea where the story line would go but was pleasantly surprised to see where it went and the choices I made.
If you like narrative story driven point and click adventure games with character choices then I recommend giving this game a go. If you are looking for dynamic mechanics and a game that will challenge you- try Cybermanhunt or Citizen Sleeper.
Cheers
P.S. Was happily shocked by Doug Cockles voice acting as the protagonist. He voices Geralt in the Witcher game series.

Amazing Game! Story is interesting and keeps you hooked to want to know more every step you take. Music is beautiful and sets the mood as it should. Visually looks really good and the art design is unique. Such an underrated game. 9.5/10

This is one of those games that I really wanted to play when I bought it and it didn't disappoint. I was only disappointed that it was over when I finished it. It had a great story, a great main character, and a lot of interesting things to do.

A good adventure but it doesn't leave you much freedom as it almost feels like watching a documentary, your choices, even if few, will be fundamental for the end of the game but there are too many dialogues and the things to do are limited, too bad, still a good game.
My Final Score is
78% /100

Please more of these games! I always enjoy indie European games not just in cool, chic visual and music, the story telling is always another level. Puzzles are not hard to crack at all as long as you focus, which is really hard to miss, not in the way those for the sake of hard puzzles burning you and development budget. I would say in the perfect pace of a game that you can relax and enjoy art of technology.
One more thing I'm sure will be updated in future version of 2 crash downs. 1st in very beginning of the game and 2nd when John are with Henry and Sally. Both can be fixed by easy search of online solutions.
