GOG.com is giving away Daedalic Entertainment's SF adventure game State of Mind for free for 72 hours, with distribution expected to end at 22:00 on September 10.

A full playthrough runs about 10 hours.
State of Mind drops players into Berlin in 2048, where pollution and disease have made the real world unlivable and governments and corporations push a technological fix: upload people into City 5, a virtual utopia. Journalist Richard Nolan opposes the plan, then gets pulled into an incident that uploads him and his family anyway, and his story opens onto a conspiracy about humanity's fate.
The game is low-poly, but the shading and character movement give the world a particular realism. Players control Nolan and five other characters, and a full playthrough runs about 10 hours.
