DEVBLOG 4 - Mastering Mindcop 🧠
Detectives,
As the release of Mindcop draws near, we thought we'd share some insights and tips to help you make the most out of your investigation! 🕵️
[h3]1. Timing & Crucial Choices 🕰️ [/h3]
Mindcop combines narrative-driven gameplay with real-time puzzles, emphasizing time management.
As the Mindcop, you have a limited amount of time to solve the case, with each action costing time. The goal is to arrest the correct suspect, and how you allocate your time shapes the experience.
Instead of examining every detail or pursuing every lead, you will have to make strategic choices about where to focus your efforts. There are no mandatory tasks—mirroring a detective’s need to discern what’s important.
Each playthrough is unique, offering plenty to discover and, crucially, to overlook. So even if you don't succeed on your first try, don't hesitate to play again, your investigation may pan out differently!
[h3]2. Search for clues 🔍 [/h3]
As an aspiring detective, make sure you thoroughly explore Merrylin Crater camp, examining every nook and cranny (but keep an eye on your time limit!). Stay alert—key clues may be hiding in plain sight…
Collect intriguing evidence and stash it in Linda's trench coat, then have the lab analyze it to uncover vital information.
[h3]3. Interrogate the witnesses❓ [/h3]
Every question you ask could lead to different story paths, and your investigation might take unpredictable turns. But once you ask you can't go back, so pick your questions wisely!
Witnesses can quickly turn to suspects… but mind your words, or they will refuse to cooperate!
[h3]4. Explore the minds of your suspects 🌀 [/h3]
During suspect interrogations, the Mindcop can use his ability to Mindsurf in order to uncover secrets. This plays out as a timed match-3 puzzle where you try to surf your way to the finish line, earning time by matching bullets that enter the suspect’s mind.
If successful, you'll face three doors: Lie, Uncertainty, and Truth. Each door reveals a different aspect of the subject's psyche for you to decipher through short dialogues and unique settings, providing valuable insights for the investigation.
[h3]5. Make an arrest! 🚨 [/h3]
Detectives, you have only five days to apprehend the killer—choose wisely!
Arresting the wrong person could have dire consequences, letting the real murderer run loose and jeopardizing the Mindcop's reputation. It’s up to you to uphold his legacy!
Now that you're equipped to tackle this mystery, put your skills to the test with the Mindcop demo! And get your magnifying glass ready for the full game, launching next week on November 14th!
