C:\OVER\MIND
About
while not aiming at horror, this game contains potentially disturbing imagery and themes, such as death, self-worth, identity, trans-humanism.
This game was made in 15 days for the Winter Newbies Special 2022.
C:\OVER\MINDFollow Alexander Blackwood as he explores the Godcomplex, a mental institution built after the end of the world, meant to alleviate the sufferings of the souls of now-deceased people. Look for Doctor Jacob Stedman: he will be the one to rid this world of misery.
This game is mainly driven by narration and dialogue, followed in a point-and-click fashion; the artstyle is inspired by the works of Giorgio De Chirico as well as dadaist photo collage.
If you ever find yourself stuck or frustrated, I wrote a walkthrough that you can follow to reach both endings.
The game features around 30m of content, including:
- Philosophical themes
- Two separate endings
- 8 collectible "gifts" needed to reach the best finale
- Voice acting
- Several puzzles
- Jacob Stedman
