I was meaning to reply to this one to say I really enjoyed MIND. A couple of sections required a bit more dexterity than I’d prefer in an adventure but the atmosphere works well, the environments are lovely (especially the foresty ones involving seasons) and there are some fun/infuriating puzzles. Plus I found my name (along with other Kickstarter backers) hidden somewhere, which was nice.

I did not find Mind: Path to Thalamus to be a “gem” by any means. It is buggy, tedious and contrived.

Well pics dont do justice check this trailer,

Crazzzzzy characters, artstyle and concept.

Steam review,

The spaceport is mad, colorful, confusing, gross, pretty, and amazing. I’m only a little bit into it, but it’s one of those works where the setting is as important a character as anyone else. And the setting shows a lot of care went into it. It’s a mad and overgrown city that developed in a terribly chaotic fashion, full of back alleys, dead ends, corner shrines, thick foot traffic, and merchant stalls on every corner. It’s one part major port-of-call, two parts price-gouging theme park, and one part perpetual religious festival. All of which you have to clean up after, rather than take part in. Navigation is entirely by memory or landmark - different neighborhoods have different colors assigned, which you can find by following guide arrows on the ground or looking for big lit-up signs across the skyline. If there’s a map function, I haven’t yet found it, and I think it’s better not to have it.

You can get lost. You can get confused. You can eat from the ground or the cheap vending machines and get violently ill and spend a minute straight puking all over (and then cleaning up after yourself for extra pay) while the screen goes blurry. You can pray and make offerings at the shrines across the city, and watch your luck score plummet anyway. You can scrounge and run all over to sell discarded trinkets back to the merchants for a fraction of what they’re originally sold for, or collect them to decorate your tiny tenement room. You can do all this while an angry, cursed, floating skull screams in your ear every couple of minutes. And then you can recount it all at the end of the day in your one luxury, a tiny diary with a post-it note’s space per day to try to put your thoughts in order before facing the next day.

And then the skull screams at you again.

It’s a very particular game. The whole thing has a strange charm. It’s atmospheric as all hell, though. If a weird little “low SF” indentured servitude simulator sounds like it might be up your alley, give it a shot. The intro sequence is ultimately very short and then you hit the ground running.

Me, I think I’m going to see how far I can go in turning my apartment into a trash-hoarding nightmare.

Great price, grab it.

Yes, it’s a good show, much much better than Under the Dome. But I’m going to guess you won’t like it very much, it’s a love letter to 80’s Spielberg, Dante, Lucas.
I might be wrong so do give it a try at least.

Yeah, it’s like ET, the music, the characters, almost the same kind of situations, all through the eyes of these kids of the 80s, the same vibe…you know.

I would have enjoyed MIND: Path to Thalamus a lot more if they hadn’t hired a voice actor who sounds 16 to voice a character who, judging by the story and dialogue, should be in his early 30’s at the very least.

I did still enjoy it, quite a bit actually. But they really slipped up in the VA department. Sadly, that’s not always uncommon in the world of adventure games.  Confused

That Haven Moon games looks great, too. The look of the game reminds me a lot of The Five Cores. Now there’s a game that I wish had gotten Greenlighted. I’d be posting it here right now.

I got the impression the game’s creator did the voices. He really could have used some help, particularly with the voices and writing.

Voices were really bad, i mean worst of VAs.
Most of the indies are using Dev VOs, and are bad.

No, they hired someone to do the voice acting for MIND. The main dev, and I believe the entire development team, is from Spain, and the main character has no such accent. The VA is Greg Nugent (here’s his resume on Voices.com) and he’s listed nowhere else in the credits. He really was hired just for the voice acting. I don’t think he’s necessarily a bad actor, but they really needed someone who could do an older voice. It says it right there on his resume, actually, that he does teen and young adult voices. It’s just a baffling casting decision.
