I absolutely loved this game. Enjoyed every minute of the gameplay.3 found this helpful
A hidden gem. Incomparably profound writing. I prefer this to Disco Elysium and Detroit. The perspectives are diverse, but each is profound. Not only does understand the operating rules of the huge system of society, but also tries his best to empathize with individuals. No matter what ending I choose, I feel like I did something bad, which is appreciated. There is no fairy tale-like story, but it deeply leads players to realize the value of ideal existence. I feel that the sales have not paid off, and I feel a little sad about this. I hope that more people can discover it. If the production team continues to produce, I hope to find a good sponsor.1 found this helpful
This says a lot about society. My brain grew three times in size like the Grinch, but i aint no Grinch, because i grinned playing this game :D
You love your girlfriend so much, you try to save the world. Flawless writing, incredible experience.
Peak absoluto
I loved this game! I think this is the only narrative-driven game that literally cut me off from the outside world. I found myself playing 8 hours straight without even noticing how much time had passed. I'm a fan of Sci-Fi and dystopian stories, and the setting of Minds Beneath Us is simply incredible. The choices are heart-wrenching sometimes, but I loved how everything makes sense and isn't there just to fill a hole. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone!
