About the Game

Mind Gazing is a lateral-thinking social puzzle game where a strange, compact story hides a single coherent truth beneath the surface.

HOW IT WORKS

One player (the GM) picks a scenario and reads it to the group while keeping the full solution secret. Everyone else asks questions that can only be answered with “Yes”, “No”, “Maybe”, or “Irrelevant”, tightening the net until the mystery clicks into place.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

• A curated library of 100+ handcrafted scenarios organized across six themes: Mystery & Crime, History, Everyday Life, Nature & Environment, Science & Technology, and Mystical & Philosophical.

• Filters for difficulty, solved/unsolved progress, and child-friendly content so you can pace your sessions your way.

• “Based on real events” markers on selected stories for an extra spark of curiosity.

• A custom-story editor plus community sharing—bring your own riddles and browse what other players publish.

PLAY SOLO OR ONLINE

• AI Solo Play: practice the same deduction loop against an AI-powered GM, generate a “thought map” from your Q&A trail, and use structured hint chips to sharpen your questions.

• Online multiplayer: host or join a room with friends; long-term goals include multiplayer achievement milestones you can chase across sessions.

ON STEAM

• A clean experience without ad flows, with Steam-friendly integration such as Rich Presence, Steam Cloud, and Steam achievements.

Whether you want a quick brain-teaser between tasks or a late-night “one more story” spiral with friends, Mind Gazing packs sharp deduction into short, replayable sessions.

Online features require an internet connection.
