Happy New Year’s Eve and THANK YOU SO MUCH for your patience!
Going to keep this post super brief and to the point, because you’ve all waited long enough: here’s Mind Blind, in its entire totality, with all routes completed (including Shard’s).
You will need to start from the beginning. Things changed ☹

She must be an angel come to take you away. You open your eyes, but everything is a red-fogged haze. You attempt to wipe away the blood and sweat, but your hands no longer obey your commands. You’ve been in this alleyway for too long, slowly...

2025-05-01 01:14:13 +0000 UTC View PostThe final cover art is here . . .
. . . And I’m pretty happy with it!
Demo update time! I rewrote a lot of stuff based on feedback about the first ending. Interactions with John have more reactivity based on Button’s relationship and past interactions with him, and the scene inside Nick’s head is now twice as long (with three major variations) and hopefully better reflects their sibling dynamic.
What’s New:
-Rewritten Nick R...

The amazing artist who I'm working with requested a time extension for the final product, but I figured that I'd still share the proposal drafts that she's provided for Mind Blind's cover art. I'm actually just about to send off a message to her about things to possibly tweak (thinning the neck a little, for example, so that the face reads as younger/weaker).
Please let me know w...
2025-02-28 22:49:27 +0000 UTC View PostAfter receiving feedback about the ending, I’ve decided to add one of the epilogues to the current demo so that you guys can get a better idea of how the story wraps up! I think it’ll be more enjoyable to read this way, plus I’ll be able to receive more informed feedback about whether or not the ending feels satisfying and if all plot threads feel neatly (or messily) tied with a bow.
<... 2025-02-25 03:30:38 +0000 UTC View PostFirst off, I am so so so sorry for the delay to schedule! There were more bugs than I anticipated in the newly released sections, and then I had an idea (Chapter 18’s circular narration, to mimic Button literally running out of options), and then I had ANOTHER idea (which was to reveal Nick’s secret in this ending as well, instead of locking it behind Shard’s motives). I know, I know. I n...
2025-02-23 07:11:52 +0000 UTC View PostA few people have mentioned not being able to meet Juliette in Chapter 10, so here are a few tips and tricks:
1) Use an Interpersonal Button. Having over 50 Interpersonal makes Vengeance like you more (making all the stat checks easier) and also makes Button a better liar (which means certain dialogues that you would usually be dinged on instead are believed ...
2025-02-08 04:58:41 +0000 UTC View PostFirst off: Scroll down for the new demo link! Files with the same name weren't updating for some reason, so I just made a new link to avoid any issues. The old link still works, but it doesn't have both Tunnel Versions.
Shard’s pathway is now open until the split branch in Chapter 17 where you choose either to go after Vengeance or Nick. For this route to trigger, accept Shard’s help ...
2025-02-08 04:54:01 +0000 UTC View PostNow up: The pathway where Button fails to win over either Boris or Andy/Liz (until the end of Chapter 17V2). I also implemented the actual requirements to enter the Vengeance path as will be in the full game, to make sure that the scenes are cohesive on playthroughs. Sorry, folks, but your super accepting sunshine-and-rainbows, Nick-is-the-best Buttons will no longer be able to attempt to take ...
2025-02-04 04:23:13 +0000 UTC View PostThe Patreon demo will now correctly go to the next scene after escaping the lab (chapter17K was accidentally written as chapter17k in the code, and that broke everything because coding is evil).
As an apology for the bug, here's Mind Blind's complete list of 47 achievements, all of which are named except for Interpersonal Button's because I cannot for the life of me think of some...
