Mind Trap (2018)

⠀

The game is just not worth the money. I saw the negative reviews and decided to give it a chance, but the entire game is an ice level with no ability to change sensitivity. If you hit escape for settings it exits you from the game, and if you don't have an extra 3 hours to scour every inch to find the last few cacti and doors you need to complete the game, then you're SOL because the game does not save your progress. If it saved, I would've recommended it, because the controls were doable, but I just can't have fun knowing I was 5 things away from what I believed to be completion, and would have to start all over again.

I like the concept for this game. It's definitely unique and incredibly interesting, but unfortunately the game itself does not match the intentions. The music is far too loud in my opinion, with no option to turn it down (This goes for a lot of options that would typically be present in most games). Furthermore, the game lacks a pause menu. If you press Esc during gameplay, the game straight up quits no questions asked. No pause menu, no nothing. It just quits. Graphics-wise it isn't terrible, but it could do with some minor improvements as it does look like a game someone would have made about 8-10 years ago. During my gameplay, I came across the "Text Treadmill" as I like to call it. Basically, there was Text on the floor that was moving like a treadmill. Above the aforementioned text, there was a series of Televisions hanging from the ceiling. These Televisions (Unbeknownst to me) had no collisions. This caused me to fall off of the map multiple times. Overall, I don't recommend this game for now. If minor improvements were made (Which I'm assuming they won't as this game is almost 7 years old) then I will gladly replay this game and change my review if need be.

first person exploration game of some kind that has terrible mouse sensitivity. all you do is look at uninteresting things and find cacti. can't recommend.

Игра «Mind Trap» — увлекательная логическая головоломка с захватывающей атмосферой. Задачи требуют нестандартного мышления, а сюжет заставляет задуматься о моральных дилеммах. Графика минималистичная, но стильная, а звуковое сопровождение усиливает напряжённость. Несмотря на сложность, каждый уровень даёт чувство достижения. Однако отсутствие подсказок может отпугнуть новичков. Рекомендую тем, кто любит интеллектуальные вызовы.

All the good reviews are lying. Why do people lie?
