Mindfarer
"In Mindfarer, you play as a Sailor working for a tech corporation that has discovered a way to navigate the collective subconscious. Accompanied by your Navigator, your mission is to explore the Cognitive Sea (or Cognisea) and install data collectors to analyze people's thoughts.
A simple and harmless task...
... or is it really?"

4 NPCs to befriend (or not):
- Captain Lee, in command of your fleet
- Wendy, your deckhand
- Your Navigator Bernard
- Warden, the best employee
5 optional NPCs to interact with during your exploration.
⏱️ Estimated playtime: ~15 mins per walkthrough.
Controls : WASD to move, E and mouse click to interact, Tab to pause and save.
This game was made in 2 weeks from scratch for the Narrative Design Game Jam. We took this opportunity to submit the game to the Fuck Capitalism Jam and the Josei Jam 2024.
Some shaders are disabled for the HTML version.
Consider trying the .exe version for higher quality visual effects.
Don't hesitate to give us feekbacks/report bugs!
The game will probably be updated in the near future for the inevitable typos that we left during these crazy two weeks.

I just saw that your ratings and comments weren't saved from the Fxxk Capitalism 2024 Jam, and I wanted to offer my condolences!
I mean it helped me out because it put me one place higher (no way my entry was topping you all!), but in all seriousness I'm really disappointed we don't get to see where you all finished. My prediction was top 3.
I'm following the project and interested to see how it develops!
Nice work! Interesting story, great artwork, intriguing world. I'm looking forward to trying the exe version as the web version did run a bit slow for me. (due to my aged laptop or wifi, most likely).
Did notice some typos as you predicted, lol, but it's amazing quality for being put together in just two weeks!
Thank you very much for playing and writing such a nice comment! :)
We are sorry about your poor experience with the browser version… :/ As mentionned in the description, we are already working on a patch (it is almost complete) but we need to wait the end of the Narrative Design Awards 2024 to upload it.
The .exe version is up! :3 Enjoy <3
Nice, thanks!
