Of Two Minds Release Date
January 29,
in the year of our Lord
2024 -- Burgeon & Flourish announced today that
their FMV game Of Two Minds will be released on iOS on February,
5nd for $2.99/€2.99. Of Two Minds is a free-association
psychoanalytic FMV game that puts you in the psychoanalyst’s
chair to explore the minds and psyches of a cast of characters,
as flawed, contradictory and vulnerable as you are, in the New
York of the late 80s. Discovering and connecting the topics and
ideas in their thoughts and memories will unveil more of the
story as you fill in the gaps, digging deeper into their
obsessions, secrets, and histories.
Of Two Minds is a game 35 years in the making: it started back
in 1989, when international award-winning film director Michael
Bergmann (founder of Burgeon & Flourish) shot more than three
hours of fiction about the intensity of two psychoanalysts’ love
affair. 30 years later, in an inspired collaboration with game
designer and composer Lucas Tahiruzzaman Syed, this footage was
adapted into the nonlinear narrative game Of Two Minds.
As psychoanalysis faded from the mainstream landscape,
increasingly replaced with therapies based on drugs and faster
methods, Michael became obsessed with preserving and
popularizing some of its most exciting ideas, ideas which can
transform a human life but are in danger of being lost forever.
Dive into this narrative experience to unveil all the secrets of
its set of unique characters, coming to iOS on February 5th!
ABOUT OF TWO MINDS
Of Two Minds is a free association FMV game set in the 80s – and
created with footage actually shot back in 1989. The game places
you in the mindset of a psychoanalyst, diving into the psyche of
a network of people in the gritty but vibrant New York of the
late 80s. Every time you discover a new Memory, you will have to
connect the topics and ideas — Themes — that appear in every
video. Working with these Themes will unlock new videos, filling
in the gaps in the story as so you get to know each character
and their motivations. Your deductions and daring leaps of
reason and creativity will help you dig deeper into their lives
and minds.
KEY FEATURES
Enjoy more than three hours of footage not only set but recorded
in the 1980s. All the video footage was actually recorded in
1989 with professional actors.
Analyze the characters. Associate the feelings and ideas evoked
by every clip to unlock new content.
Experience a non-linear narrative. Every player will experience
the story in a unique way based on their associations and
observations. The story is the same, but how every player fills
the gaps in the story will depend on the associations they make
while watching the clips.
Unveil the psychological motivations behind the characters’
actions. Why does Annie fear the sound of breaking glass? Why
does Rex dream about a red blanket? Why does Mel gamble away his
summer house? Ultimately, the experience of the story is
uniquely yours.
