Mind Scanners

Mind Scanners is a retro-futuristic psychiatry simulation set in The Structure, a dystopian metropolis built inside a meteor impact crater. You diagnose its citizens, treat them with arcade-style devices and manage your time and resources to keep the city in balance. You are responsible for your patients, and your decisions affect whether you gain The Structure’s trust and see your daughter again.

The Structure

After the meteor struck, survivors learned to harness Zygnoka, a power source from the impact. Over the next 40 years, they built The Structure inside the crater. Its people became isolated and increasingly dependent on technology, forming a society run like a machine.

The city maintains order and efficiency through severe top-down control. New machines and instruments are put to use on the public as soon as they are invented. Mind Scanners are tasked with managing the increasingly precarious anomaly levels of the city’s inhabitants.

Diagnose and treat

You assess patients by analyzing their views of the world, then operate and master a range of arcade-style treatment devices. You can spend ₭apok and science points to develop new devices. Managing your time and resources is part of caring for the citizens of The Structure.

Choices and allegiance

The game presents moral choices and ethical dilemmas. You can report the resistance group Moonrise or join them to help their cause. Your actions also determine whether you gain the trust of The Structure.
