The meteor came. And from it, the survivors learned to harness the power source known as Zygnoka. In the next forty years, the megacity known as The Structure was erected inside the impact crater. Here, the people isolated themselves, accelerating their dependence on technology and created a society as a machine of its own.
In The Structure, order and efficiency is maintained by severe top-down control. In the name of efficiency, new machines and instruments are put to use on the public the instant they are invented. In pursuit of optimisation, a new profession is tasked to maintain the increasingly precarious anomaly levels of the city's inhabitants. These are called Mind Scanners.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Pretty fun game. I got it at discount for R23, I think. It's a fun minigame based game with an interesting story. I wouldn't say it's for everyone, but I've personally been enjoying it and have honestly found it to be quite addictive.
This game just wasn't fun. The mini games i felt were far too difficult and just overall, not fun.
A solid experience. Movement is smooth, good time overall.
I liked the game a lot but wouldn't recommend on Steamdeck. I have no idea why it was Steamdeck verified. I trusted the tick and now won't play anymore - some instruments are usable with the commands but some are not at all (like the one where you have to adjust the frequency in Hertz). Feel like I got fooled by the Steamdeck verified check. Oh well! Looks like a cool game, though I couldn't get past Day 10 or 12. It would greatly help to get a better framework on the Steamdeck...
наткнулся на эту инди игру случайно и она реально зацепила тяжелой темой сидишь диагностируешь жителей антиутопичного города через мини игры а под этим всем скрыта суровая история про тоталитарный контроль и твою дочь взятую в заложники ретро пиксельный визуал создает мрачную атмосферу и каждый пациент это отдельная маленькая драма минус в том что мини игры под конец начинают повторяться и надоедать а сложность растет резко без возможности откатить но сюжет и подача реально пробирают до мурашек
[h2] If you like psychology, antifascism, and/or the game "Papers, Please", you're gonna love Mind Scanners! [/h2] A touching and at times heart wrenching story game about mental healthcare in a dystopian world. The gameplay is pretty simple and focused around different mini-games, but what makes it truly stand out is the depiction of the different characters you encounter. My first playthough legit made me cry at one point! It's quite obviously inspired by the game "Papers, please" in both concept and some mechanics, but the strong worldbuilding and social commentary around the concept of insanity brings something entirely unique to the table, making the inspiration drawn feel like an homage rather than a copy. Definitely worth several playthroughs! Prepare to be intrigued and heartbroken all in one.
