Fracture: Echoes of the Mind

A psychological horror game where your mind is the enemy.

Fracture: Echoes of the Mind is a narrative-driven psychological horror game that plunges players into the surreal, terrifying worlds inside the minds of six neurodiverse protagonists. Blending atmospheric exploration, memory-based puzzles, and emotional survival mechanics, Fracture: Echoes of the Mind tells a story not just about fear — but what it means to live with it.

What is Fracture:

In Fracture: Echoes of the Mind, trauma shapes the world around you. Each chapter unfolds within a unique Echo World — a shifting, symbolic environment that reflects a protagonist’s internal battle with memory, identity, and perception. From a flooded library of forgotten dreams to a crumbling theater of fractured performance, players must confront monstrous manifestations of personal fear — the Fracture Entities — and piece together who they are before they disappear completely.

What Makes It Different:

Mental Health Meets Horror — Authentically
Fracture: Echoes of the Mind explores PTSD, schizophrenia, depression, autism, and other neurodiverse experiences through lived perspectives — not as gimmicks, but as core to gameplay and narrative design. Every mechanic, monster, and room reflects a psychological truth.

Six Protagonists, Six Unique Worlds
Each character features their own art direction, voice, gameplay mechanic, and story arc — creating six deeply immersive, personal journeys across a single broken world.

Emotionally Intelligent Gameplay
Rather than shooting or jump scares, Fracture challenges players to reconstruct memory fragments, shift emotional tone, and decode symbolic puzzles — all while navigating inner landscapes that twist against you.

Art-Horror Aesthetic
Inspired by Silent Hill, Hellblade, Control, and Eternal Darkness, Fracture: Echoes of the Mind blends metaphorical design, horror expressionism, and haunting audio to immerse you in a world that feels like breaking apart.

Developed with Neurodiverse Creators
From writing to design, Fracture: Echoes of the Mind centers representation by including creators who live the realities this game explores — ensuring depth, care, and respect in every moment.
