The Mind's Eclipse

Try the demo, and the full game has the same look, sound, and mechanics. So, I really liked this game. I played it through in one sitting. It straddles the line between point and click (which I like) and a visual novel (which I don't), but I enjoyed reading all the very interesting text here. It gave me the same feeling as the cyberpunk that I saw in the late 80s, from rpgs, paperback novels, system shock logs, and obscure animes. This game has a compelling ambient soundtrack that pulls you into the stark, black and white scenes. What I really liked about the game was that clicking on objects was an opportunity to explore the scene further. There was no pixel-hunting or insane object combination puzzles in The Mind's Eclipse. There were no puzzles to solve. You could choose to advance without examining everything, but why skip the story? I am planning on playing the game again, just because the narriative details are so interesting and deep, that they can only be fully understood afte...

A real hidden gem, it deserves more recognition!

8.5/10! Oh man! What a pleasant surprise! This VN is mad good!! Its beginnings aren’t terribly original—you awake in a decrepit hospital with no memories and with only an AI to help guide you out before the hospital loses oxygen. Everyone else you meet is dead. Everything is crumbling. Why? Where the game goes after that is interesting, and tackles questions I see a decent amount in sci-fi about life without death in interesting ways. The writing is tight and punchy, and the rate at which information is revealed is the right one, with the right rhythm and pacing. Smaller substories end up feeding into the larger one in exactly the right way. Your AI companion, L, provides the perfect compliment to the dark tone by being a breath of fresh air, sharp and irreverent but never annoying. This is one step shy of a point and click adventure game, and it’s rewarding navigating the world and exploring the map to find more information in the world and in messages you find. I loved the ...

A point'n'clicky visual novel which kept me hooked until the end. Pros: - Nice artworks - Moody soundtrack - Gloomy atmosphere - Interesting story. Nothing groundbreaking, but worth the time. - The surface of some existentialistic philosophy is touched here. Might be a bit bare bones if you're into that. - No romances, no love interests Cons: - It lost some of its pacing and claustrophobic atmosphere and felt therefore a bit dragged out in the middle part - Clicking on a hotspots a second time will trigger the initial events and dialogs, which became a chore from time to time. Don't click on a hotspot twice if you don't want to go through everything again.

Great science fiction mystery with beautiful art and music. I would love to live in a world like this in the right circumstances <3

The Mind's Eclipse is really freakin' good. It is much, much better than I expected. So many visual novels have a bit of a dating sim feel to them, shoehorned-in romance or "clever" references to present-day pop culture and events. Not this one. There's nothing funny. Nothing cute. The Mind's Eclipse is straight-up no apologies science fiction. The singularity is here and it's a clusterfuck. You walk around a moon base trying to figure out why. The graphics are raw and uncompromising, like an indie comic book. The story... well it goes exactly where you would expect it to go, but it's told so well that it doesn't matter that this is a well-worn path. Nanotech. AI. The singularity. It hits all the classic notes you would expect from a solid cyberpunk novel. If you are even just a little bit into hard sci-fi, you owe it to yourself to get this game. Really great work.

It's a classic text based adventure game setup: you wake up in an empty world, with no memory of who you are and what's happened to everyone else. You'll just have to play it to find out the rest!

I started to play this game in the morning and just finished it. I took about 7 hours of slow paced gameplay. The game was a breath of fresh air among all the regular games and I didn't want to leave the game world. One of the main reasons for buying The Mind's Eclipse was its graphics. As an artist myself I was quite excited to see that the game creators had chosen this kind of style for the game art. Not many developers would have had the courage to use such lively sketch-like style. But I think it works very well. Not everything has to always be super-polished. A looser style makes the game feel spirited. The UI is simple and controls work well. At first I was expecting to be able to move to adjacent locations by clicking hotspots in the image, but that wasn't the case in most rooms. It was quite easy to navigate through the map too. It was interesting to follow the story. There is a lot of dialogue and other messages to read. If you like that kind of story-telling, then you coul...

I just finish The Mind's Eclipse. This was a pretty interesting visual. A story about life, death, immortality (And the consequences of it), and choice. I really recommend you guys check it out. It's definitely worth your time & money. I give it a 8.8/10. BTW L is bae. Love her character and her sarcastic personality.

disclaimer: not super far into the game, but looking forward to putting in a few morehours this weekend. also i love games with reading, such as a few types of visual novels, and this one scratches the same itch, but I don't have a direct comparison to the couple I like. Great use of color contrast, has some intentionally visually jarring things like Danganronpa, occasionally need to do a Phoenix Wright-esque search through a scene for a fact or item to progress. That covers gameplay and visuals. Story wise? It really hooked me. There's a pretty interesting cyberpunktech world described, meshing really well with the art. I wanted to know more about the characters revelead in brain-jacking text logs. Map layout is pretty easy to remember, but when i did some medium unnessessary backtracking early on I wished you could skip rooms. It makes sense though because sometimes new flavor text or dialogue showed up. [something about interface screw] [goodbye] i hope to god this is editable la...
