July 2025
Minds Beneath Us is a unique narrative experience set in a richly imagined cyberpunk-era Taiwan. It’s primarily a point-and-click adventure with the occasional QTE for combat—nothing too stressful, very manageable. But don’t let that fool you—this isn’t a chill, cosy experience. It’s text-heavy and demands your attention, so save it for when you’re ready to dive deep into a world of political intrigue, AI ethics, and “flop farming.” Despite the lack of facial animations, the writing pulls you in, especially when it comes to the surprisingly compelling office drama and characters in the Screening vs Logistics department. The emotional weight sneaks up on you, and the choices you make genuinely impact how the story unfolds. I’ve put it on pause for now, but I’m keen to return when I have the time (and mental energy) to properly appreciate its depth. If you’re into heavy narrative games with a dystopian edge, this one’s worth checking out.

An amazing game if you like: - character driven stories - gameplay based on elaborate dialogue trees - being a "therapist" to characters, learning about them and figuring out how to talk to them - complex moral dilemmas - 2.5D stylized graphics - a cyberpunk setting The game also features a decent amount of politics if that tickles your fancy, although I personally don't care much for it. Still, the "human" side of it was strong enough to keep me fully engaged. As for action, it comes in a form of some very basic QTEs from time to time, but again, I don't mind. Talking to and learning about the characters and the game's world was plenty enough for me. Minds Beneath Us might be my favorite game I've played all year. Looking forward to whatever the devs can cook up next.

Purchased this game at a discounted price during the summer sale, and it exceeded my expectations with the gripping storyline and narrative. I really like how the game really fleshed out the various characters in the game and the music OST was pretty great too. Overall, I cleared the game in one single sitting and I would definitely recommend this game if you like Detroit Becomes Human, Ghost in the shell, Psycho-pass etc.

Mixed feelings on this one but mostly good. The story was interesting and tackled some complex topics. But ultimately, it's linear and it's really the final decision you make that determines the overall outcome. Everything until that point seems to have minimal consequences. You could replay it and make a few different decisions that may impact some minor characters but I think you will be presented with the same final choices at the end. Knowing everything I know now I still think it was worth the price I paid and was a good relaxing game to wind down to each night. Enjoyed the music a lot too. If there is a sequel or DLC I'd consider getting it, as I feel like they left some things unanswered.

very good. but there are a lot of typos and grammatical errors. Also some of the idioms are worded weirdly. it breaks immersion and the cadence of the scenes
