    This was a pretty disappointing experience. The story and the world they tried to show was pretty flat but the most annoying part were the tedious mini games that you had to play they pretty much ruined whatever fun this game was supposed to give. Art and music was good.

    At first I looked at Mind Scanners as a copy, but as the story progressed, the game distanced itself from Papers, Please and developed its own identity. It’s rather short, but gives reasons to try different approaches, while the varied array of patients along with some random elements make every playthrough different. [07/2021, p.75]

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

    The choices you make throughout the Outer Zone’s engrossing cyberpunk therapy adventure may just keep you up at night.
