## Description

Mindcop is a story-driven detective game where time is your enemy. You have five days to crack the case, and every action costs time. Move fast, or the culprit walks free. The gripping narrative unfolds through rich characters, hidden motives, and dramatic twists, with a Mindsurf mechanic that lets you glimpse suspects' thoughts and emotions.

Features include true detective gameplay: investigate crime scenes, interrogate suspects, and enter minds with Mindsurf. Enjoy a stylish noir presentation—hand-drawn art, expressive animations, and a tense soundtrack that pulls you into the mood. Decide whether to rely on logic, intuition, or manipulation to uncover the truth. Mindcop is the solo project of Andre Gareis.
