Reviewed by: Carless Yen

Nevermind you play as a Neuro-Prober a doctor that is able to get into the minds of his or her patients. They come to you in search of answers. Your job is to find the life changing trauma that has thrown their life out of order. You go in and gather memories, and replay past moments of their lives in search of answers. I hate to give away much when it comes to a story driven master piece such as this so I'll tread cautiously. It is broke down into five completely different patients, each with stories so different from the last. All the stories pretty much have a pretty creepy feel to them except maybe the lady that is battling elderly memory loss. Even if that story isn't as terrifying as the others it isn't any less real feeling, and thought provoking. Every story really makes you think, and draws you in.

One story your a child trying to figure out what happened to your dead father, one your an abused woman well trans battling the thoughts of yourself, like i said before elderly battling memory loss, and so on and so on. The stories are amazing , and so is the design of the game. For a Indie game the level design is beautiful. One of the best looking Indie games to date. It is just beautiful and scary as hell at the same time. The eery locations have a dream like artistic look and feel to them as well. I can see this being a treat visually to everyone who plays it. I really can't say enough about the visuals of this game. The look of the areas you discover are enough to terrify you alone, but when you throw in the very real feeling stories of your patients. It adds up to one of the best horror games I have yet to play on the Xbox One. This and Layers of Fear without any doubt are my two favorite to date.

Most games like this thrive on jump scares, Nevermind barely throws any at you. They deliver psychologically and visually, and that sets them far apart from the others. On PC you can even use biofeedback Camera-based technology to effect the way you play it, I was unable to do so being I played the XBOX One version, but i can see how it would work , and it is a very ground breaking original concept that these guys should be proud of capturing as well. Can't imagine this game on VR hope to try it soon.

If your looking for a horror game that feels somewhat like an anthology this is your game. The many stories feel very Twilight Zone feeling, and the wonderful voice acting thrown in there really makes you feel like your really in the lives of these people, or in a film. I really hope they add more episodes to this title, or a sequel. I'm really not over it yet. I finished it, and i really want more and more. Hope more episodes are on the way. If you love great unforgettable indies, and the horror genre don't miss out on this one.
