Very amusing game, has some darker undertones about what's really going on, but worth a few play throughs. Also there's a dog *and* a cat.

This is exactly what I want from an indie game: indulgent choices in art style, character design, and dialog that inexplicably pay off. Mindcop is a flavor somewhere between Twin Peaks and Adventure Time that defies existing classification, like if Sam & Max took a page out of Blacksad. In cooking, there were four flavor profiles: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. In 1908, Kikunae Ikeda coined the phrase umami and now there are five flavor profiles. What does this have to do with an indie detective game? About as much as surfing has to do with the central minigame of Mindcop. Somewhere between the silliness of entering the mind of a dog and the seriousness of domestic abuse Andre Gareis finds a way to balance the reasons why we love art against motivations for murder. Mindcop offers surprising character depth, not just in the occasionally shocking character interactions but also in the perspective shifts revealed by them. While some players may be annoyed with multiple playthroughs, I found the excuse to write real world notes made me feel like more of a detective than many games of that ilk... and Mindcop made me laugh more than any of them.

A very stylish detective game with a twist. I enjoyed the gameplay although the culprit was kind of obvious at the end.
