Mist of Madness - English Version

Available from October 6th.

A narrative adventure inspired by Toltec wisdom

After 1 year and 3 months of development, I am proud to present Mist of Madness, an interactive fiction that explores Toltec teachings through an immersive story. Your choices will shape your story and your understanding of this ancient philosophy.

Dive into a world rich in narratives and face dilemmas inspired by real-life challenges, with an objective approach enlightened by extensive reading.

Why Toltec wisdom?

This ancient philosophy offers simple but powerful principles to better understand oneself and improve relationships with oneself and others.

Synopsis

You play as Linh, a young student from Brightfield, England. After an unexpected encounter, you are thrown 1,000 years into the past, one week before a catastrophe wipes out the entire population. You have 7 days to prevent this tragedy and change the fate of the city… and perhaps your own.

Mist of Madness, more than a game

In addition to your adventure, you will have access to educational resources to deepen the explored concepts:

• Pedagogical summary (19 pages): Grasp the key points of your gaming experience.
• E-book on Toltec civilization (17 pages): A guide to understanding the depth of this philosophy.
• Mini guide on creating good habits (39 pages): Practical advice to apply the teachings in daily life.
• Mini guide with concrete examples (17 pages): Put Toltec wisdom into practice in real life.

Mist of Madness is a personal journey, enriched with resources that will allow you to explore the teachings beyond the screen. Ready to take on the challenge?

PS 

This game is the first project of Mimico Studio, which I am developing solo. My goal is to make complex philosophical and psychological concepts accessible through immersive narrative games.

I plan to surround myself with creative talents for my next projects and evolve towards visual novels richer in content and storytelling.

Why this price? The price of the game may seem high, but the included educational resources offer far more value. For the price of a simple McDonald's meal, you could perhaps acquire teachings that will serve you for life.

I recognize that some aspects of this first project may be improved. I have already created five games during game jams, some of which have been awarded prizes, but Mist of Madness represents a new challenge for me. If there’s something you don’t like, I’d love to hear your feedback to improve my next projects!

Additional information

The interactive fiction lasts about 3 to 4 hours depending on your reading pace.

• The game includes 36 images and animated backgrounds and 79 fixed images.
• The story has 20 different endings, with more or less significant variations.
• Wanting to lead this project solo and with limited resources, I worked for several months on an AI process, using various tools to create the images and animations that energize the story.

If the use of AI bothers you, I completely understand. I wrote an article on my website explaining my vision of AI and the reasons that led me to use it.

All music credits are included in the in-game credits section.
