State of Mind was pointed out in the GOL IRC (thanks qptain_Nemo!) and wow, this looks quite amazing.
It's quite rare for me to be so completely surprised and thrilled by a trailer. While it didn't show all that much, what it did show certainly has me extremely interested! Also, awesome choice of song.
It's due out sometime next year, can't wait.
About the game
State of Mind is a futuristic thriller game delving into transhumanism. The game explores themes of separation, disjuncture and reunification, in a world that is torn between a dystopian material reality and a utopian virtual future.
Employing multiple playable characters and two separate game worlds, State of Mind explores the existential drama that develops in a society on the brink of post-material existence.
You are Richard Nolan, a father and journalist from Berlin who discovers that he has been subject to an accident. As a result, he is still living with incomplete memories.
Upon realizing that he is literally a torn man, Richard sets out on a dramatic and dangerous search for salvation. He aims to reunite with his family, as well as with his own lost memories. On his way, he soon realizes that this journey isn’t only about him, but about the future of mankind.
It already has a section ready on Steam for the SteamOS/Linux system requirements, they are properly filled out too which is a good sign.
The developer noted that they hope it will be on GOG as they have a good relationship with them, but they aren't 100% on that yet. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Sci-fi / cyberpunk themed game by Daedalic? I'm interested and will wait for the GOG release.

Looks promising and (hopefully) will be released on GOG. Nice sound and visual style so far, I'll put this on my list! ;)

Sounds like a bit of "Deus Ex" possibly mixed with some inspiration from "SOMA". Could be really nice although I admit that the useage of so many "big words" (transhumanism, separation, disjuncture, reunification, existential, post-material) leaves me wondering if the game can do justice to the description.

I love it when game trailers have fitting music for the tone of the visuals! Depending on a few factors, I may try this one out.

I'm not a fan of Daedalic adventures, albeit the artwork of their games is outstanding most of the time. State of Mind looks great as well and sounds quite interesting. But 2017 is still a long time to go. Let's see. I may consider it when it gets released on GOG.com.
^ This.
Reminds me of A New Beginning, which had a lot of potential but was absolutely shallow in the end.

Another low poly graphics game... No thanks.To be honest, in this case it's a very clever decision in game design. The style is basically timeless. This kind of graphic will look still great in 5 years because it's not trying to be realistic. Realistic graphics ages and will probably look awful in some years.
next!..
Also, in my opinion, this graphic is perfect to transfer the feeling of the dark, bleak and hostile setting of the future.
Agreed. The style is intentional and super effective. It looks like a work of art.
I am hyped about this. Or rather, "No Man Skyped" about this.

Graphix = Beautiful
Themes = Interesting
Trailer = Well done
Coming to Linux = Awesome
I never played a game with these themes, nor do I play many story driven games but I'm definitely putting this on my watch list.
also, could someone explain the "no man skyed" thing people are using here?

Nice thematic trailer, caught my attention, but I want to see some gameplay before I get my hopes up. That goes for all games.
