From there you travel to different locations relating to each patient via cassette tapes, in the hopes of finding answers. A little ways into the game, you then realize the story revolves around the deaths of his recent patients and how they may be connected to a conspiracy.
If all that sounds a bit disjointed, it's because In Sound Mind is going along with the notion that Desmond Wales has been transported into a dream-like domain, one filled with dread and otherworldly threats. As you walk down a long corridor, hearing all sorts of creaks, you turn around and see the hallway get replaced by a wall. Such instances include constantly finding barrels with rainbow liquid oozing out, a black cat gazing from a distance, and a phone randomly ringing as you stroll past it. As you make your way to the upper two floors via an elevator, you experience strange occurrences in a world void of normal life. You, now taking control of a therapist named Desmond Wales, inexplicably find yourself in an apartment building's trash room. Eventually, the viewpoint makes its way into a building until settling into a first-person view of the protagonist.

As the story begins, the perspective zooms through a town at night specifically, one that is partially submerged in an oily substance. In Sound Mind is a first-person psychological horror title and it wants you to know that right away.
