July 2025
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.

March 2025
Minds Beneath Us Honestly, I consider this game a masterpiece among visual novels, and I’ll explain why. First of all, the most important aspect for me is the way the story is presented. The game provides enough situations and conversations to "ground" the story, allowing you to empathize with the characters and feel them as real individuals rather than just NPC puppets. This works especially well when the tension rises, evoking the emotions that the story is meant to provoke. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3434080449 It’s also worth mentioning that, judging by how the game ends, there is a clear hint at a sequel, as one of the main storylines remains unresolved. I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, it’s great when you have a complete story that can be fully evaluated. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3434599704 The game has a lot of potential, and a sequel might benefit it- but that’s something only time will tell. If the continuation turns out to be average or bad, it’ll be easy to argue that the story should have been condensed into a single game. However, to be fair, they did set up a strong foundation for an interesting follow-up. I just hope they include save transfers with player choices - otherwise, that would be disappointing. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3426520818 The soundtrack deserves special praise - not only does it enhance the atmosphere perfectly, but it's also impressive as a standalone collection of tracks. The ending left me slightly disappointed because it didn’t have a “wow” effect for me, but at the same time, I’m quite satisfied with it since it logically follows everything that came before. The game follows its own internal logic, and the so-called "deus ex machina" moments don’t feel forced once you analyze what’s happening. This is an excellent example of how dialogues and storytelling should be written. I’m looking forward to the sequel.
