Fractured Minds

Players take control of a nameless protagonist and progress through six bleak atmospheric chapters, each of which represent a different challenge associated with mental illness, such as isolation, paranoia, and anxiety.

Though the experiences portrayed in the game are loosely inspired by real life day-to-day occurrences, the viewpoint character's mental health issues render them disturbing and distorted beyond recognition. The viewpoint character progresses through a personal and emotional journey until the resolution of the game.

Emily Mitchell, a British programmer from Watford, United Kingdom developed the game on her own at the age of 17. She states that the game was inspired by her own battles with anxiety and that her goal was to create a genuine experience that would help more people empathize with those struggling with mental health issues. The game was later picked up for distribution by Wired Productions, a game publishing firm also based in Watford.

The game's soundtrack was provided by Russian composer Kai Engel.

Critical Hit magazine hailed the game as a "concentrated, clever exploration of life with mental illness".

Though noting its 'just starting out with game dev' aesthetic, the review praised the game's unnerving atmosphere and deep meaning, comparing it to the psychological horror film The Babadook.
