Minds Beneath Us is an adventure about a guy and a data ghost who lives in his head and controls his body," developers BearBone Studio say. "After society has become fully automated with AI, a new industry has emerged that replaces the hardware needed to operate the internet with linked human brains.
From the sounds of things, you play as this data ghost, helping your human make choices, and investigate some sort of conspiracy with all this scary tech. Your dialogue choices will affect the story, and paying attention to the world around you will unlock more options too.
I'm really into the design. The 2D characters walking around this 3D space looks brilliant. The city (which is based on Taipei - the devs are Taiwanese) and backgrounds seem more detailed than the characters, and I can already picture myself wandering around for too long taking in the views.
The dangers of AI is an interesting one to explore too. In the trailer, it looks as though the AI in the main character's head briefly turns him feral, making him attack a doctor. The next shot is the same room with blood on the windows and what could be silhouettes of soldiers coming in to deal with him. Spooky.
