"After many years of development, I’m proud to say that this project is now complete. I made the game I wanted to make, with hardly any compromises along the way—a rare achievement in game development, and one I’m very grateful for. As a longtime fan of mystery stories, creating Mindcop allowed me to explore the genre from a whole new angle. This game was also my first real venture into narrative writing, and it became a deeply personal journey. Dedicating myself to a single project for so many years has been challenging but incredibly rewarding. I hope Mindcop finds its audience, as it’s something very special to me." - Andre Gareis, Developer. Happy Detecting!
