O tym demie

The Shattered Mind of Lucas Hayes DEMO is a game about finding peace.

This demo gives you access to 4 complete levels from the main game. The demo is around 20-30 minutes of game play depending on how much you explore. There may be additional updates to the content in the demo and I will also continue to patch any bugs found throughout it's lifespan. If your computer can run the demo well, then you will have no issues running the full game.

I have always found these liminal pool spaces to be nostalgic and comforting. The gentle lapping of the water against tile. The sound of footsteps splashing and the light filtering into outdoor spaces through curved archways. This game aims to help Lucas, and the player, find peace in an otherwise crazy world we all live and breath in. 

You will not be chased by monsters, and nothing is peeking around the corner to get you. You are alone, very alone. You will search for memories to fall deeper into the dream, sometimes encountering puzzles and maze-like areas you'll need to navigate to proceed. Your sense of direction is tested slightly, but the path forward is generally clear.

There are multiple levels to play through, and each offers between 10 and 30 minutes of exploration. There is no HUD and no conventional story line to follow. During your exploration, you catch glimpses of the main character’s past and the mental struggles he is experiencing. The only goal is to remain where you are and enjoy the atmosphere, or continue deeper into the dream.
