State of Mind for Nintendo Switch Demo at Tokyo Game Show, Releases Q1 2018
The 3D adventure begins in Berlin, 2048, and will take you to a dystopian future where you find yourself having to save the future of humanity after a botched mind-transfer upload into a utopian virtual world.
Amazingly, the game touts its low-poly count as a feature but seeing as how they have implemented it in an artistic manner, I think it can really be a feature.
The game releases for the Nintendo Switch Q1 2018.
Wednesday, September 13, 2017 — Daedalic Entertainment presents news for State of Mind at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. The press and visitors of the fair can convince themselves of the futuristic thriller with remarkably realistic low poly visuals and play the game on PlayStation 4. In addition, the Nintendo Switch version will be presented exclusively at the TGS.
Berlin, 2048: Resources are scarce, overpopulation, war, advanced digitizing and government surveilance, as well as robotics and cyber technology seem to be the herald of global catastrophe. In the wake of all this, humanoid robots claim human rights, while the military and futurists try to create artificial life. In this dystopian world Richard Nolan, a father and journalist, tries to survive with his family. The industry’s solution to all of humanity’s problems, though, seems to be a new virtual world. Through mind transfer, people live their lives in a peaceful place called CITY 5.
But during Richard’s upload, something goes wrong: he now exists in both places, the real world Berlin and as a second, incomplete version in virtual space. Now he tries everything to reunite with his virtual self and his family, but he soon realizes that his search for salvation affects not only him, but the future of all humanity.
State of Mind is a futuristic thriller written by Martin Ganteföhr, who’s already established as a writer of outstanding games. The dystopian 3D adventure combines two diverse explorable worlds. Various playable characters as well as realistic low poly visuals let players submerge in a gritty but realistic vision of the future.
