  • story
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is characterized by its fragmented yet intentional narrative that blurs the lines between reality and illusion, offering a psychologically rich experience that resonates emotionally. While some players appreciate the depth and voice acting, others find the pacing uneven and certain plot elements, like character backstories and romantic conclusions, lacking in development. Overall, the storytelling is engaging for those who enjoy abstract narratives, though it may frustrate players seeking a more straightforward approach.

    • “The storytelling is fragmented but intentional, pulling you into a world where reality and illusion constantly blur.”
    • “But if you enjoy psychological depth and emotional storytelling, mindmindmind is a haunting, thought-provoking experience that sticks with you long after it ends.”
    • “The voice acting adds a lot of depth to the game, and I really like the overall storyline!”
    • “On the downside, the pacing can feel uneven, and the narrative’s abstract nature might be frustrating for players who prefer straightforward storytelling.”
    • “Geist's backstory should've been elaborated on more, I think.”
    • “With the pronoun choice, I chose they/them, yet there was still a point in the story where Kalei referred to the MC as 'she' in the text when he introduces her to his friends and after the MC gets quiet.”
  • emotional
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “But if you enjoy psychological depth and emotional storytelling, mindmindmind is a haunting, thought-provoking experience that sticks with you long after it ends.”
    • “It made me cry...”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is enhanced by a perfectly fitting soundtrack that evokes an eerie, dreamlike quality, immersing players in the game's world.

    • “The game's visuals and sound design work together to immerse you in a hauntingly beautiful world.”
    • “Every corner of the environment is filled with detail, enhancing the overall mood and sense of place.”
    • “The soundtrack fits perfectly, creating an eerie, almost dreamlike atmosphere.”
    • “The game lacks any real sense of immersion, making the atmosphere feel flat and uninspired.”

  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics feature a vibrant and fun art style characterized by sharp contrasts and surreal imagery that effectively reflect the characters' mental states, complemented by a well-executed live2D style.

    • “The art style enhances this feeling with sharp contrasts and surreal imagery that mirror the characters’ mental states.”
    • “The art style is fun and bright, and works very well with the Live2D style!”
  • gameplay
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this visual/interactive novel is criticized for its lack of depth, primarily consisting of poorly written dialogue that detracts from the experience. However, some players found moments of emotional connection and therapeutic value in the mechanics, particularly when the main character demonstrates personal growth.

    • “So how the game mechanic works felt even a little bit therapeutic for me, I guess. I loved it when the main character was proud of their choice to not give in to fear; that was a lovely moment.”
    • “As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay; it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, 'how did something this badly written end up on Steam?'”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised for its ability to create an eerie and dreamlike atmosphere, perfectly complementing the overall experience.

    • “The soundtrack fits perfectly, creating an eerie, almost dreamlike atmosphere.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the grinding aspect of visual novels and e-books tedious, likening it to a frustrating experience where the narrative unfolds slowly, requiring constant clicking to progress rather than allowing for a more fluid reading experience.

    • “Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best. Imagine the best novel you ever read, whether it's 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', '2001: A Space Odyssey', or 'Twilight' (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you want to read the next sentence, instead of just turning the pages.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the reviews is characterized by a sharp wit, exemplified by a clever remark about the minimal demand for the book, suggesting that it is so unappealing that only a handful of copies would suffice for the entire world.

    • “The funny thing is, if you wanted to print this book, you'd only need to print 6 copies to satisfy the entire world's demand for it.”
