Digital ChumpsAndrew SimoneNov 202410/10I can’t recommend this game enough. I’m a sucker for good storytelling and mystery-solving. Though a bit short, Mindcop tells a captivating story with interesting characters and unique gameplay mechanics. If you’re the type of person who likes narrative video games and detective work, you will absolutely love Mindcop and its perfectly executed cartoonish noir aesthetic.

Thumb CultureNov 20245/5 starsMindcop brings a wonderful and gripping detective experience that doesn’t take itself too seriously which is a great intuitive mix. The demo had me gripped and the full game did not disappoint. It did feel slow at times however I for sure cannot wait to play through the game multiple times and experience more and more of the dialogue. Maybe just using this time to play the minigame one too many times. I am so glad to see a game that was well thought out with an immersive story full of witty humour and conversational gems. The art style itself is very fitting and give it that noire feel which is perfect for a detective point and click adventure. I really hope Andre Gareis keeps developing diamonds like this! With everything Mindcop has offered and presented, I will be awarding Mindcop the Thumb Culture Platinum Award!

God is a GeekLyle PendleNov 20248.5/10Mindcop is a seriously clever detective game that refuses to hold your hand, but makes you feel like a genius when you figure out whodunnit.

Niche GamerFingal BelmontNov 20247/10Mindcop won’t set any trends or shock players with its premise. The story is well-executed enough to see through to the end and entertains until the truth is revealed and beyond. The art style does not stick to landing, but anyone looking for a Northern Pacific mystery with a magical twist will find a lot to enjoy.
