Battle creatures and bosses with unique fighting styles that challenge your combat abilities.
As you make your way through the twisted mind, you'll encounter puzzles and challenges that will test your mettle.
Choose between two camera modes to tailor your experience to your playstyle. Want a classic, old-school vibe? Go for Fixed-Cameras mode and feel that nostalgic Resident Evil energy. Or, if you're all about action and thrills, go for Over the Shoulder mode for a more modern perspective.
Are you ready to prove your skills and uncover the twisted secrets within the mind?

Well needing to enter the mind of a psychopath to try and find answers to stop a world ending event, sounds a bit more believable compared to The Evil Within's lets make a new utopian world with the brain of a psychopath.

Methinks MOBIUS had a morbid curiosity for what the mind could do, using Ruvik as an insanely bad standard. Going from that, they could work backwards and slowly pick out the perfect, clear-minded candidate. Overall, it's two different plot-points with a lot of potential to be interesting. Seems like Connections is already nudging at the fact that the MC and Kane have similar mindsets.

@@mandivvy Can't be decomposition. His brain is still intact, and he's kept in a tank for preservation. Now, I didn't go to school, so someone can correct me on this, but I feel like organs and meaty bits would decay well before the skin falls completely off and leaves a fully muscular skeleton behind. Decay starts from within and works its way out, no?

@saintfayde4438 24 күн бұрын

@@user-gu9yq5sj7c I think the more likely answer is they just grabbed a pre-made corpse asset rather than building a model from scratch for a dead character they didn't see a need to show for more than a handful of seconds anyways. Saves time, the player can clearly see he's very much dead and the point gets across. Understandable for an indie dev.

Not sure if you watch anime - but there is an anime called ID: Invaded. This game has a LOT of similar ideas and themes. The anime follows a renowned detective tasked with diving (similarly like this, digitally) into the ID Wells (aka 'mind spaces') of serial killers to solve cases/murders. But I can also seethe Evil Within vibes too.
