What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I am releasing the game in Early Access because I want to give you guys access to the game as it is, while I'm continuing working on it. It is also because I want to develop this game with you all, so I need feedback and suggestions for mechanics and such.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I cannot say for sure, because as I said previously, I am constantly working on the game so there can always be improvements/changes. But as an approximation, probably around the July 2024 period.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I plan to add more chapters to the game and complete the main story. I cannot say for sure how many chapters the full game will have, as I am constantly working on it. Nothing is set in stone so everything or nothing could change.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“This version has a full playable chapter that is pretty much complete.
Since it is Early Access, this may or may not be the final version of this specific chapter.
It showcases some of the mechanics of the game along with an important part of the story, and features 2 endings.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Well yes. This chapter is free (of course) because it is kind of like a demo, so the full game will have a different price haha.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I'm looking forward to all of you guys' feedback and opinions, especially constructive criticism. Also, if you want to see something added and I feel like it makes sense within the story context, message me and we'll talk about adding it.
The best place to reach me is probably on X (twitter). So if you guys have any feedback, just DM me there.”

About This Game

Hi, welcome to the Fractured Mind.
This is a PT inspired psychological horror game, with a bodycam style (shocking, I know, there aren't a lot of those lately...). It's ~25-35 minutes of gameplay. The full game will be over 1 hour, I don't know for sure the full length yet.
It's a fairly simple and straightforward game, with a heavy focus on atmosphere. There are also puzzles and shooting elements (which will be expanded upon in the full build).
The HUD is almost entirely non existent, with the exception of the crosshair which appears only when looking at interactable items.
There is no hand-holding in this game. While not difficult by any means, you do need to pay attention to some things.

Confidential Mental Health Evaluation Report
Patient Information:
Name: Michael [REDACTED]
SSN: [CLASSIFIED]
Date of Exam: [CLASSIFIED]
C-number: C-59251
Place of Exam: [CLASSIFIED]
Referral Reason:
Special Agent [REDACTED] was urgently referred for a comprehensive mental health evaluation following a critical incident during a [REDACTED] operation. His recent behavior during tactical operations has raised serious alarms. The purpose of this evaluation is to assess his psychological state, determine his fitness for duty, and recommend appropriate interventions.

Background:
Special Agent Michael [REDACTED], a seasoned tactical team leader at the young age of 28, has an illustrious service record marked by successful missions. However, recent events have profoundly affected him. His emotional well-being is at risk, and his performance has deteriorated.

Presenting Complaints:
Intrusive Thoughts and Nightmares:
Special Agent [REDACTED] experiences relentless guilt over perceived failures. He replays critical incidents in his mind, questioning every decision made.
Emotional Numbing and Alienation:
He has withdrawn emotionally, distancing himself from colleagues and friends. The camaraderie that once fueled his team now feels like a distant memory.
Hyperarousal and Hypervigilance:
His senses remain on high alert. Every crowded space triggers panic. He scans faces, searching for threats, unable to trust anyone.
Avoidance Behaviors:
Special Agent [REDACTED] avoids situations or stimuli associated with traumatic memories. His refusal to engage in certain activities jeopardizes mission success.
Startle Response:
A sudden noise—a dropped pen, a closing door—elicits an exaggerated startle response. His nerves are frayed, and his reactions are unpredictable.

Psychometric Assessment:
CAPS-5 (Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5):
Total Severity Score: 78 (indicating severe PTSD symptoms)
Re-experiencing: 24
Avoidance: 22
Hyperarousal: 32
Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II):
Score: 45 (indicating severe depression)
Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R):
Total Score: 68 (reflecting profound distress related to traumatic events)
Clinical Impression:
Special Agent Michael [REDACTED] is in crisis. His PTSD symptoms are incapacitating. His emotional detachment threatens team cohesion. His judgment is clouded by grief and self-blame.

Recommendations:
Immediate Relief Measures:
Psychoeducation: Educate Special Agent Michael [REDACTED] about PTSD, self-compassion, and grounding techniques.
Pharmacotherapy: Initiate SSRIs to alleviate symptoms.
Individual Therapy:
Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT): Address guilt, distorted beliefs, and trauma processing.
Temporary Duty Restriction:
Field Duty Suspension: Special Agent Michael [REDACTED] must step back from active operations.
Peer Support and Critical Incident Stress Debriefing:
Connect him with peers who’ve faced similar trauma.
Long-Term Management:
Regular Follow-ups: Monitor progress and adjust treatment.
Fitness for Duty Reassessment: Periodic evaluations to determine readiness for return to duty.

Conclusion:
Agent's mental health is precarious. His resilience is tested, and redemption seems elusive. Urgent intervention is essential to prevent further deterioration.
