About the Game

In a world where humans have taken on several different genetic variations and Europe became communist in the 1930's, we follow the journey of Dimitri Makhno, a man who has been troubled by his past and how he learns to overcome what happened several years before the story started. Follow Dimitri and his friends on their journey to banish the structure that lies within Dimitri's mind palace and allow him to move on. 

Mechanics

Switching The Party Leader:

Switch the party leader to unlock changes in dialogue and progress the story.

Building Bonds With The Cast:

Foster bonds with the cast to unlock skills in combat, items, and story beats.

Explore Dungeons:

Enter the dungeons contained within Dimitri's Mind Palace, getting a deeper insight into his perspectives and to tackle his traumas.

Fight Enemies:

Mindshift has a turn-based battles system which uses timed-input attacks and defenses similar to what one might expect in a four-key (Up, Down, Left, and Right) rhythm game. 

Choose Skills:

Mindshift allows you to customize your style of play by choosing how you wish to engage in battles. Are you someone who likes to whittle down an enemy's strength over time? We support that. Are you someone who relies more on offense based skills and using items to heal? We support that. With 8 skills per character to choose from, the sky is the limit on how you tackle the battles in and out of Dimitri's Mind Palace.
