Mindcop
Mindcop is a non-linear „whodunnit“ detective game. It mixes a story driven adventure
with real-time puzzle gaming.
As the infamous Mindcop, you can dive into the minds of your suspects to
uncover their secrets and unravel their lies.
Time in the game doesn‘t go by in real-time. Instead, every action comes with a time
cost and you will have to set priorities while figuring out where you want to spend your time.
Looking at every little thing in a room, or showing a suspect every single item you picked up,
is probably not a good idea. You will be forced to make tough decisions on what is
really worth your time and what will just lead you to another dead end.
Can you catch the killer in 5 days?
“Mindsurf” is what it is called, when the Mindcop attempts to sneak into the mind of one
of the suspects. This plays out as a real-time puzzle game.
Some minds will be harder to surf and you can level up your Mindbullets
to make things easier for yourself.
Complete a Mindsurf to explore the “Sea of Thoughts” in that person‘s head.
Here you can find clues and topics to use in a conversation with your suspects.ACCESSIBILTYThere are no language options. English only!
TEXT
Text size or font type can‘t be changed in any way.
The size or appearance of the User Interface can‘t be changed.
Example of actual 1:1 text size when playing in fullscreen at a 1920×1080 Resolution:
There is no Text-to-Speech option.
Keep in mind that reading is a big part of this game.
COLOR
The game frequently features a Mini Game that asks you to distinguish between
4 colors (red, cyan, purple and yellow). The Mini Game uses up to 3 of these
colors at a time. Examples:
This is not possible in the Demo, but the full game will have an option to turn the Mini Game
off entirely. The Options Menu provides a Color Blind Mode. This Mode adds Symbols
to the Mini Game. Example:
CONTROLS
The game can be played with only the Mouse (Mousewheel or Middle Mouse Button
are not used). You can also use Mouse+Keyboard if you prefer walking around with
the Arrow Keys.
The game can also be played with Gamepads. Most Gamepads are supported.
Most Buttons of the Gamepad are used with the exception of the D-Pad and the
Analog Stick-Buttons (Where you have to press into the Control Stick).
The Shoulder Buttons (Triggers) are only used in the Mini Game.
You don‘t have to use them and can instead use the Bumpers or Face Buttons.
There is no option for any kind of Button Remapping.
The only times the game asks you to do anything under time pressure is during the
Mini Game. This is not possible in the Demo, but the full game will have an option to
turn the Mini Game off entirely.
AUDIO
Every spoken dialog comes with subtitles.
Sound is not necessary to complete the game. There will sometimes (not often)
be optional things (hints, storytelling) players can pick up on in music and sound effects.

Torrented the game first, got immense enjoyment out of so I bought it and came here.
Point-n-click and crime is not really my genre, but I was captivated by the OST for the game so decided to try it.
Music and sound-design are truly astonishing, but writing, game design and overall art direction are on par with it. Like with a good book I became obsessed with this game for 1.5 days and could not stop thinking about it until I finally found the killer. Took me 2 playthroughs by the way, I managed to narrow it down to 3 suspects, make a wild(and wrong) guess, fail one playthrough and during the second one collect more info and pick the right one out of two other suspects.
The game is designed in a way that you don't have the resources to search under every stone, so you kinda getting like 1/3 of info during one playthrough. And out of all info in the game only maybe 1/4 is relevant to the murder. But other 3/4 is not filler but interesting secrets to be unraveled and stories to be told, which also can allow you to understand the motivations of characters. Also you don't get like 100% bulletproof evidence, you still need to figure everything out

Крутой детектив и не самый простой, удалось пройти только со второй попытки учитывая предыдущие находки. Осторожно, русского языка на момент написания коммента нет! В игре много деталей и легко случайно потратить время на чепуху. Пазл сложился не сразу, нужно быть внимательным ко всем словам и реакциям персонажей. Визуал и саундтрек очень приятные, мини-игра забавная, в целом атмосфера игры понравилась. Каких-то багов не обнаружила. Советую и надесь разрабы выпустят еще одну часть)
