    A compelling cyberpunk story told in an imaginative way, and one that will really test your moral compass.

    Mind Scanners is a narrative, dystopian game with some management elements. Aesthetically among the most apt on the subject. Unfortunately, its many timed minigames reduce the amount of writing elements and narrative gameplay.

    For dystopian enthusiasts and those who don’t mind getting lost in repetitive minigames, Mind Scanners may be a suitable distraction. I’m sure some people are going to adore everything about this title, but I simply can’t recommend it for most people. It breaks my heart, because I had been keeping an eye on Mind Scanners for a while and had high hopes. After all, I’m a psychologist who loves stories about grim futures, but the execution here just didn’t make the landing. In fact, I might even need a mind scanner myself after binging this one.

    Not a bad management sim overall. Interesting and original premise, but does become a little repetitive once you have the mechanics down.Not a bad management sim overall. Interesting and original premise, but does become a little repetitive once you have the mechanics down.

    The story in this one is pretty cool, trying to save your daughter by taking a job as a mind scanner. And that job consists of diagnosing people and determining if they are sane or not. If insane, then treatment is administered and that's where the game-play really begins. Treatment comes in the form of different mini games while trying to juggle time and the patients well being. This all culminates in multiple ending depending on how you play and choices you make, lending a little replay value. The visuals and sound might be a little bland, even for some cool images. But at least the game-play is fresh enough for one run through.

    Not bad for an indie title, however, once I got the hang of all the mechanics, things ran dry. Still, it's a good price for what it is and worth playing if you like management sims.    … Full Review »
