Absolutely life-changing experience. A visual novel where you make choices and watch the events unfold, showing what our society could look like in a few decades. These choices might seem insignificant at first, but sooner or later you see the results of your actions, whether it's something small like a character liking you more or less, or something major that changes how the story develops later on. The characters in this game all have their own problems, and as the story progresses, you watch them grow and develop. Many times, you realize that you've formed an opinion of someone based only on what you've heard about them, but when you finally meet them and hear their side of the story, you discover that things aren't as one-sided as they seemed. The game allows you to form your own opinions and decide what you want to stand for, but it constantly throws situations at you that challenge those beliefs. It's up to you whether you stick to your ideals or completely change them. Many times, you'll feel confused and betrayed, unsure of who to trust as you try to navigate your relationships while the story continues to throw even more challenges your way. Overall, I really enjoyed this game. The story is incredibly gripping, and by the end, I felt slightly empty that it's all over. Either way, It's one of the best story-driven games I've ever played.
Minds Beneath Us is, by far, the best sci-fi visual novel I've played. The thrilling plot and the dialogue depth constantly forces you to think about how morality and its consequences shape each one of us, and the world we exist; that the truth is beyond loyalty or betrayal. Ultimately, the duality of things, right or wrong, good or evil, they're just one side of reality, and without morality there is no necessary evil or unnecessary goodness. Philosophic intakes of utilitarianism and consequentialism are strong in this story; such idealisms are beautifully integrated with a dystopian thriller, that makes you wonder what's really going on, until the very end! In the later chapters, the story also focus on stoicism ideals, which in my view are rather timeless and very fitting of our present times. "It does look like the world is on a downward spiral, no matter what we do... But in the end, it's always better to choose to lose a battle, so that you do not lose the war." - Situ This is definitely a hidden indie gem in the gaming world. If you find it, make sure to give it a try, you won't regret it :)
English version below / Українська версія нижче English version: I give it five stars. Why? Because there is nothing else like this on Steam. There are visual novels about other topics, but not this kind of contemporary sci-fi with a touch of the author’s own imagination. What you will get from this game: emotional characters who react to your decisions; character dialogues that make you dig into yourself; existential questions that you need to sit with and think about in a calm, comfortable atmosphere; examples of social problems that become sharper as a result of technological progress; a lot — a very large amount — of subtext and moral dilemmas. For those who love reading science fiction novels, this is a real find. What you will not get: this is a visual book rather than a game with a large amount of gameplay. Ninety-nine percent of the process is choosing dialogue options. This is not a bad thing, just a fact about the format of the content. You will not get light entertainment. Even at the end of the game, you may not get a dopamine reward from the results you have reached. You also will not get a large number of desktop-wallpaper-like scenes, because among the aesthetically striking and truly memorable locations, there is mostly the city near the house. Do not expect everything to be soaked in “cyberpunk neon.” Conclusion. I thank the development team and everyone involved in creating this work. For me, it was a very deep experience. I will be returning to this game for a long time, answering more and more new philosophical questions for myself. I am looking forward with great anticipation to a continuation, with more details about the world and more examples of how ordinary people perceive the social realities of the world you have created. Thank you for your work. Українська версія: Ставлю п’ять зірок. Чому? Тому що в Steam більше немає нічого подібного. Є текстові новели на інші теми, але не такий актуальний sci-fi із часткою авторської фантастики. Що ви отримаєте в грі: емоційних персонажів, які реагують на ваші рішення; діалоги персонажів, що змушують копатися в самому собі; екзистенційні питання, над якими хочеться сидіти й розмірковувати в комфортній, спокійній атмосфері; приклади соціальних проблем, які загострюються внаслідок технологічного прогресу; багато — дуже багато підтексту й моральних дилем. Для тих, хто любить читати науково-фантастичні романи, це справжня знахідка. Що ви не отримаєте: це візуальна книга, а не гра з великою кількістю геймплею. Дев’яносто дев’ять відсотків процесу — це вибір варіанта діалогу. Це не погано, просто факт про формат контенту. Ви не отримаєте легкого розважального досвіду. Навіть наприкінці гри ви можете не отримати дофаміну від результатів, до яких прийшли. Також ви не отримаєте великої кількості заставок на робочий стіл, бо з естетично яскравих і справді запам’ятовуваних місць тут є переважно місто біля дому. Не варто чекати, що все буде просякнуте «кіберпанковою неоновістю». Висновок. Я дякую команді розробників і всім, хто причетний до створення цього твору. Для мене це був дуже глибокий досвід. Я ще довго повертатимуся до цієї гри, щоб знову й знову відповідати собі на нові філософські питання. Я з величезним нетерпінням чекаю на продовження, у якому буде більше деталей світу та більше прикладів того, як звичайні люди сприймають соціальні реалії створеного вами світу. Дякую вам за вашу роботу.
