Minds Beneath Us for Windows

Cyberpunk-themed visual novel game

Minds Beneath Us is a premium adventure game for PC by developer BearBoneStudio. It's an interactive visual novel experience featuring sci-fi and cyberpunk themes. Set in the distant future, players will witness the marvel and repercussions AI technology has on humans and those who are not as enthused to embrace it. 

Much like Infinite Stars and Harrowed World: What's Past Is Portents, Minds Beneath Us takes a dark and serious tone for its narrative that has players griping with philosophical dilemmas. It's complemented by a visual art style that combines 2D and 3D effects for a distinct look and presentation. 

Humans vs AI 

Minds Beneath Us takes place in a futuristic dystopian vision of Taipei wherein most of the city is automated by an advanced AI system. You mysterious awake in a hospital in a body that's not your own. Alarmingly, you exist alongside the subconsciousness of its original owner. Thus begins a riveting and eye-opening journey to find the dark truth behind this thriving tech-driven world. 

As you explore the cyberpunk-like world of Minds Beneath Us, you will get to meet and interact with multiple distinct characters, each with their own stories to tell and struggles. The game lets you create your own adventure and choice dialogue choices that shape events and your interactions. Pay attention to subtle hints and clues for what to do to help push the narrative forward. 

What's more, there are multiple endings available, encouraging you to start over and do things differently to see what kind of outcome will arise. Now, the only thing to know before getting started is that the gameplay here is relatively short. However, that's really par for the course for these types of games, especially given the quite riveting narrative you'll experience. 

Dark and riveting 

All in all, Minds Beneath Us is a solid game for fans of visual novel games that offers impressive visuals and a compelling narrative that will have you interacting and empathizing with its tortured characters, as well as exploring its various possible outcomes, whether they be good or bad. It gets an easy recommendation and is well worth checking out.
