- Free game Days Without Incident is out now! - 22 October 2025
Last month, at the 4 year anniversary of In Sound Mind, we announced Days Without Incident: A short, free horror title we've had hidden away since 2017. We took a side quest to wrap it as a proper game... and it's now ready. Days Without Incident is now out and available on Steam!This comes after last year, for In Sound Mind's 3rd anniversary we've released Nightmare House: The Original Mod for free on Steam. We love taking these side quests when we can, to give something back and show our appreciation to you guys for playing our games. DWI x ISM art by desvid @Daveon64 on twitterDays Without Incident is free, but if you haven't already, we'd appreciate it if you threw us a wishlist for the follow-up to the Nightmare House mod: a recreated and massively expanded version of the house that started it all. Thanks so much!Ido / We Create Stuff
- In Sound Mind is 4! And a new tiny horror experience coming - 28 September 2025
Today, In Sound Mind turns 4! To celebrate this year we wanted to give you something special that's part of our history as a studio - Days Without Incident. Days Without Incident was first built in 2017 as prototype, during the years when we at We Create Stuff were transitioning from experimental modding to full time devs. Days Without Incident was never released or revealed but, the ideas and mechanics later inspired psychological storytelling horror, In Sound Mind which released on the 28th of September 2021.Days Without Incident is coming this October for free!Make sure to give it some space in your Halloween playlist.By desvid @Daveon64 on twitter Set in the industrial town of Ebenflow, the game drops you into an abandoned metalworks factory, shuttered after a string of mysterious deaths. Rumours of poisoned water and strange growths linger, but your investigation forces you to conf…

- Patch Notes: December 7, 2021 - 8 December 2021
Hi Desmonds, Today we're releasing a small update, In Sound Mind 1.04 with a few bug fixes for a better overall experience. Fixed an issue causing the collectible pill in the lobby floor of the hub to get clipped through the window if migrating from a 1.02 save into 1.03. The interaction was fixed and this should no longer happen to any collectible. Fixed a few trigger issues in Max's tape, with one notable issue causing the bottom floor of the factory to sometimes not load correctly. Fixed an issue around re-playing the RB finale tape with the tape not being reset properly. Additional fixes to tape resets mechanics when replaying the same tape for a third time in a row. Fixed a bug with The Shade's decal effect. Fixed an issue with weapons not given back after returning to the office on tape replay. If your Mirror Shard disappeared, try going back to the hub office and it should be giv…
- Patch Notes: November 25, 2021 - 25 November 2021
Hello fellow Desmonds! In Sound Mind Patch 1.03 is now live. Following your feedback, live streams and reports we've fixed bugs, took care of rare blockers, rebalanced many parts and improved the overall flow of In Sound Mind. Please note that the patch notes may include spoilers. General: The game now stores 5 latest autosave checkpoints instead of 1. There's a new load screen displaying the list of recent saves, time and location. This allows going back a bit further in case needed. Your original save will work the same. Improved hangs during saves in mid to late game. Save file size reduced by roughly 50%. Fixed a crash on Windows 8.1 Added surround sound 5, 5.1 and 7.1 support on PC following player feedback. Following player feedback, it is now possible to collect all pills even after defeating a boss, prior to heading back to the office(e.g. sinking crates with The Shade near the…

- Patch Notes: October 12, 2021 - 12 October 2021
Today we’re releasing the first stability patch for In Sound Mind. We have more improvements, bug fixes, and QoL changes in the works, so please stay tuned. Fixed a rare crash while fighting The Bull. Fixed an issue causing players to sometimes get locked outside of the quarry in Tape 3, at the end of The Bull boss fight. Loading a save will set the player with at least 20 HP, preventing rare cases where saving with near 0 HP can cause instant death. Improved performance and hangs around enemy inkblots. Player speed should jitter less strangely when experiencing low frame rates. Original demo saves are no longer detected in the main menu (this was unintentional). Fixed reported minor localization mistakes. We are continuing to improve the save system and addressing performance issues on some systems, as well as some other requested changes. We’re also balancing the game for a smoother o…
