The protagonist wakes up lost, all he knows is that he must escape... But from what ? 'Within the Mind' is a minimalist turn-based logic game : Move from square to square to navigate the room and find a path to the exit. Moving around will also attract creatures that will try to catch you... Loosen them behind walls, open and close doors, and discover several other mechanics... The creatures movements follow a predefined logic that allows you to anticipate their movements and allow each level to be solved. A lightweight and easy-to-use game for casual or long sessions : Each room can be reset, and each round can be undone to go back at will. Progress is saved after each completed level. Can be played with a keyboard, mouse, or a combination of both. Touchscreen compatible. Steam Deck compatible. Levels of all difficulties : Whether you're a casual player, a hard-to-challenge type, or a complete dislike of the genre, you'll find levels that suit you. This first chapter gives you access to 111 levels of varying difficulty, with a tutorial. 36 easy levels will introduce you to the basic mechanics of the game and are designed to relax you. Even those less familiar with logic puzzles will be able to complete them. 36 intermediate levels that will challenge you in moderation. As you become more comfortable with the game's mechanics and logic, this difficulty will become easier. Discover new mechanics coming in the final 12 levels. 36 hard levels will give you a hard time, in case the previous difficulties weren't enough to keep you from reaching your goal. You'll need to know the game's mechanics very well to succeed, and perhaps develop your perspective on the game to glimpse the solution. Replay new mechanics to come in the last 8 levels. 3 challenge levels... For the most daring and the craziest. Your mental health could be affected. The increase in difficulty and complexity, compared to the hard levels, is extreme and incomparable to the previous ones. It takes a lot of time to complete just one. A scenario (challenge) that will encourage you to surpass yourself : Playing these three most extreme levels also allows you to progress through the storyline, but don't worry : Completing a challenge level isn't a prerequisite to discover the entire storyline. This game addresses many themes and poses several reflections on life, surpassing oneself, achieving one's personal goals, or even on recurring themes. A demo to get you started : Try the demo to get a feel for the game and get free access to 3 levels of each difficulty : easy, intermediate, and hard. (approximate size : 174 MB) Upcoming new features : New chapters, hundreds of levels, new mechanics. Musics ? A level editor ? Are you ready to brave the unknown ?
