State of Mind

Game: State of Mind Publisher / Studio: Daedalic Entertainment Platform: PlayStation 4 (PS4) compatible with PS5 Genre: Action / Adventure Release date: August 24, 2018 Description: When the mind and the machine become one... what will remain of humanity? Berlin, 2048 - The world is on the brink of disaster. Resources are depleted, air and water pollution is causing diseases, crime rates are soaring and war is raging. Governments and companies promise solutions through technological progress. Androids and drones are replacing humans in the public sector. Everything is interconnected, surveillance has become ubiquitous. Richard Nolan is one of the few journalists openly criticizing this drift. When he wakes up in the hospital after an explosion and discovers that his wife and son have mysteriously disappeared, Richard realizes one thing: he and his family are more than just witnesses in the whirlwind of ideas meant to save humanity, trapped between dystopian reality and virtual utopia. They now find themselves at the heart of this storm. This family drama evolves into a global conspiracy thriller. The fate of humanity is at stake: Would a perfect virtual utopia be the solution? A virtual paradise unaffected by material needs and conflicts? Could a super-AI save us, or would it consider us useless, since it could not learn the values of philanthropy? What will the world look like after this storm? What will remain of humanity?
