Minds Beneath Us Reviews
Minds Beneath Us is a very peculiar graphic adventure with few puzzles and lots of dialogue. Its strength is the connection it manages to create between the narrative cue and what it requires of the player. The reward for the patience required is a game with an eerie atmosphere that is hard to find elsewhere.

As the release date nears, Minds Beneath Us looks poised to make a lasting impact on the adventure game genre, setting a new standard for interactive storytelling. With meticulous attention to detail, both visually and narratively, and engaging gameplay mechanics, Minds Beneath Us is a standout title for 2024. Its exploration of heavy themes through an interactive medium prompts players to reflect on our relationship with technology. It’s more than just a game; it’s an experience that encourages critical thinking about the future.
If you’re looking for an engaging science fiction story about identity, mind, and personal values in a society that seems to value none of the above? I would recommend this one without reservation. Good work, Minds Beneath Us. You impressed me.
Minds Beneath Us is an excellent visual novel, telling a heart-wrenching story with a ton of unique sci-fi concepts. Fans of visual novels and great stories are in for a treat with this dystopian treat.
In addition to being an excellent and immersive narrative adventure, Minds Beneath Us is a title that makes us think and challenges our own concepts of morality with every choice we make. Its concept of a dystopian future controlled by machines and artificial intelligence doesn't seem so far from our reality — could it be that, in a few decades, the world will be like the fictional Wanpei depicted in the game? But, more than presenting a hypothetical scenario about the future of humanity, the plot brings us very current and pertinent questions and thoughts. Honestly speaking, it's hard to put into words the emotional weight I felt while playing this title; perhaps this isn't the conclusion you expected for a review, but Minds Beneath Us is the famous “seeing is believing”.

Minds Beneath Us relies on confusion – a hell of a lot of good confusion – to get the player invested in its dystopian reality. Illusion of meaningful choices aside, it tells a compelling sci-fi tale of corporations gone awry and hits the sweet spot of good sci-fi philosophy that fans may be wanting in 2024. It's gorgeous, too.
