Our take on Mind Scanners
Rather than centering a psychiatry setting on dialogue alone, the game turns diagnosis into a hands-on simulation with arcade-style treatment devices. Resource limits, ethical decisions, and allegiance to either The Structure or Moonrise replace a simpler clinical routine.
What is Mind Scanners?
Mind Scanners is a retro-futuristic psychiatry simulation set in The Structure, a dystopian metropolis built inside a meteor impact crater.
As a Mind Scanner, diagnose citizens by examining their views of the world, then treat them with arcade-style devices. Manage time and resources while using ₭apok and science points to develop new equipment. Patients bring difficult moral choices and ethical dilemmas. The wider conflict involves Moonrise, a resistance group that can be reported or joined. The Structure also links professional trust to the possibility of seeing the scanner’s daughter again.
