About Mind Diver
Mind Diver is a narrative-driven adventure game from Indoor Sunglasses, released September 28 2025 for PC. It casts you as a therapist navigating the fractured memories of a couple figuring out after a traumatic event. The game blends psychological mystery with branching choices, letting you explore intimate flashbacks to uncover hidden truths. Its core hook is a unique "memory scanner" mechanic that lets you manipulate time and perspective within a single relationship. Think of it as a mix of Her Story's interrogation and Oxenfree's supernatural intrigue, but focused tightly on one crumbling romance.
Gameplay
You spend most sessions combing through fragmented memories using a clunky but intuitive memory scanner. Each session feels like piecing together a puzzle, clicking on objects to trigger recollections, selecting dialogue options that subtly shift perspectives, and tracking contradictions in testimonies. The scanner lets you rewind moments or isolate specific sensory details like sounds or textures, which often hide clues. Choices matter: bad decisions can lock out key memories or alter relationships. The game rarely holds your hand, forcing you to cross-reference notes and replay segments. Sessions typically last 2, 4 hours, with the final chapters demanding careful replay to unlock all endings.
What Players Think
Mind Diver has a 90% community rating with an average score of 4.3 out of 5. Players complete 70% of the main story but only 35% earn full completion, averaging 10 hours of playtime. The game’s moods are split: 40% "curious," 30% "tense," and 25% "reflective." Critics praise its "hauntingly intimate storytelling" (The Quiet Pond) and "brilliantly disorienting memory system" (PC Gamer). However 15% of reviews mention pacing issues, with one user calling it "overly cryptic for its own good." There are 120 achievements, 40% of which require multiple playthroughs.
PlayPile's Take
Mind Diver is a bold experiment in psychological storytelling best suited for players who enjoy slow-burn mysteries and moral ambiguity. At $29.99 it’s reasonably priced for the narrative depth, though the 10-hour runtime might feel short for some. The achievements add replay value but don’t fix the game’s uneven pacing. If you’re invested in relationships, trauma, and how memories distort truth, this is a must-play. Otherwise the obtuse design might frustrate.
