Isolation and loneliness seem to be a hot theme in horror games at the moment, and here we have another game in which the protagonist is trapped within the real walls of their home and the virtual walls of their mind. The player is Jack Hallow, imprisoned in his apartment and tormented by a fractured past. By selecting the mirrors within the house—each representing a family member—the player explores Jack’s dark memories, pointing him toward either redemption… or madness.
Despite some cheap jump scares, the Dead Faces demo (‘A Fractured Mind’) delivers a suitably oppressive atmosphere, slightly neutered by the obviously gen AI images throughout. Hopefully the full game, out early next year, will continue the chilling vibe.
