About Mind Diver
Mind Diver puts you inside Lina's subconscious, a surreal Mind Ocean where fragmented memories hide clues to a missing-persons mystery. Using experimental technology, you restore broken memories, listen to private conversations, and piece together a heartbreaking love story while uncovering a dark tragedy buried deep in Lina's mind.
The game blends logical deduction with atmospheric storytelling in a tightly paced 4-5-hour single-player experience, presented with a unique 3D-scan visual style and fully voice-acted dialogue. It was made by Indoor Sunglasses, a small team whose earlier school version of the game was nominated for Best Student Game at IGF 2023.
