PLAYISM is bringing Mind Diver, the eerie murder mystery from indie studio Indoor Sunglasses, to PC via Steam in 2025. At first glance, it looks like a stylish detective sim—but dive deeper, and you’ll find a mind-bending, memory-fixing thriller soaked in psychological drama.
This isn’t your average whodunnit. You’re not investigating crime scenes or chasing suspects in the streets. You’re diving into the Mind Ocean—a surreal, mental landscape inside a woman named Lina, to restore her shattered memories and uncover the truth behind a haunting disappearance. Her partner Sebastian is missing. Her memory is fading. And buried deep in her subconscious is a place called Guilt.
Mind Diver is more than a mystery—it’s a puzzle of emotions
You play as a Mind Diver, equipped with experimental tech that lets you explore the fragmented memories of Lina. Each memory you unlock is missing a vital detail, and it’s your job to figure out what fits—anything from a single word to an object in the background could be the key.
There are no hand-holding hints here. The game challenges you to slow down, pay attention to subtle conversations and background clues, and draw your conclusions. It’s all about piecing together logic from chaos, which makes every solved fragment feel earned.
And behind the puzzles? A gut-wrenching love story. Lina and Sebastian were deeply in love, but something broke along the way. A mysterious party, buried trauma, and the way Lina’s mind is collapsing all point to something much darker beneath the surface. It’s heavy, it’s emotional, and it’s personal.
Why you should keep an eye on Mind Diver
- It’s fully voice-acted, bringing real emotional weight to every conversation and memory fragment.
- The game uses a unique 3D-scan visual style, giving it a dreamlike and slightly unsettling look.
- It’s already been recognised for its story and puzzle design, winning awards pre-release.
This is one of those rare narrative games that seems to balance atmosphere, challenge, and heartache without compromising on any of them. If you’re a fan of titles like Return of the Obra Dinn, Her Story, or What Remains of Edith Finch, Mind Diver might just be your next obsession.
Wishlist Mind Diver on Steam now to stay updated. It’s due out in 2025, and trust me—you’ll want to be ready when it surfaces.
