MIND: Path to Thalamus open to visitors next week

Perhaps it’s only fitting that something that sprang from a COMA should emerge suddenly with little warning. That is true of MIND: Path to Thalamus, a new free-roaming, first-person puzzle-adventure from indie developer Carlos Coronado.

In MIND, players take on the role of a comatose man. Much like the title suggests, this is not a swashbuckling adventure but a journey into the depths of the human psyche. It’s not about saving the world, but exploring the life of one individual. That certainly does not preclude some amazing imagery though, as players will guide the protagonist “through fantastical forests, dark caverns and deceptive worlds of water and ice that directly relate to his emotional state at each point in his journey.”

This game was originally conceived and announced under the name COMA: A Mind Adventure, but Coronado has since reimagined and refined the concept into its current iteration. As seen in its screenshots and trailer, MIND looks spectacular, making good use of the Unreal Engine to recreate the vivid fairy tale-like landscapes of one man’s mind. Rather than relying on obscure mechanical puzzles or inventory use, this game requires manipulating the very environment itself. Players will use six methods at their disposal to manipulate weather, day/night cycles, and even time and seasons within each area to advance the story.

Best of all, MIND: Path to Thalamus will soon become reality, as it’s scheduled for release on August 5th. Purchase will be available for PC via Steam at a cost of $13, with a Mac version to follow later. Further information can be found on the game’s official website.
