Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
Short and sweet, enjoyable and melancholy. An intriguing game with a pretty well thought out logic system to solving the mysteries presented. I never felt really stuck at any given point and enjoyed the acting greatly. The story's fantastic. Bittersweet at times, hopeful at others. 3-5 hours worth your time. Not sure if it's good enough to warrant nearly $20 full price, but that's on you to decide!
A short game which a story that packs a punch. You delve into the mind of a young woman using new and experimental techology and discover a story that deals with loss and love. The mechanics are unique and interesting and the audio and voice acting is top notch. Highly recommend playing blind and fully immersing yourself in it's story and enviroment.
Mind Diver is an interesting game that wears its influences in plain sight. Literally, the covers for the games and movies are right there on a bookshelf early on. Obra Dinn, Her Story, Riley and Rochelle... and yet throughout the game I couldn't help but think of one game in particular that wasn't mentioned: To the Moon. Some other reviews say this isn't a puzzle game, it's a narrative game, but that's not really accurate. There certainly are puzzles throughout the entire game and they aren't throwaway at all. In fact, the entire plot about piecing together the broken memories of a person to discover what happened to her is built around the puzzles. Each memory you enter is fragmented so objects must be taken from other memories and slotted in to unlock more of the memory for you to experience. That said, it's certainly not a puzzle game like Obra Dinn or Her Story. There is a very linear plot and the puzzles are only truly there to force you to consider why things are happening the way they are. I highly doubt anyone will struggle for more than a few minutes with any particular memory hole and you certainly won't need any notetaking here. No, the draw here is absolutely the narrative and it is a good one. A woman reports her boyfriend as missing but is suffering severe and acute memory loss. My first thought was that this is a woman with Alzheimers that we are diving into but she is in her late 20's, struggling to hold onto her memories like they're a dream. What you discover is a personal story of life and grief that may not be profound, but is at least heartfelt and sincere in its portrayals. Just like To the Moon then, Mind Diver takes you on a brief but impactful story through the mind of a client, solving some puzzles and piecing together their past. Whether or not that story will leave an impact on you is likely something that no reviewer could ever tell you. It's going to depend on the person, and isn't that what good art is? I don't honestly know if I recommend this game to everyone but I can confidently say I won't regret having played it.
