==Background==


4. A dark story with a protagonist that the player cannot trust.
Mind's Eye was originally conceived as a Halloween 'scare' game; as you play through it you will find MANY references to the author's favorite films, not limited to but including: John Carpenter's The Thing, Child's Play, and Re-Animator. As the game developed, however, it took a turn away from horror and into a mystery thriller, with a beleaguered protagonist who comes off innocent- and at times- dangerous.


Included in the backdrop are references to historical figures, such as Burke and Hare, the infamous duo who procured fresh corpses--often killed by Burke and Hare themselves--for Dr. Knox, an eminent professor in the field of anatomical study at the University of Edinburgh, who some argue to this day was aware of the murders and ignored them for his personal benefit.  A similarity to this in the game is how Dr. Knox ignores Child's battering of patients because he needs someone that can handle Noah.

The ending of Mind's Eye leaves the story open for a possible sequel.
