What is Mindcop?

About the game

A murder has landed on Merrylin Crater Camp, a small holiday spot, and you are the detective sent to close the case. Five in-game days is all you get, and almost every action spends time you cannot claw back, so the job is as much triage as deduction. The hook is Mindsurf. You force your way into a suspect’s head, which plays out as a real-time match-3 puzzle, and clearing it lets you walk their Sea of Thoughts for clues and conversation topics to use later. Epic’s page says there are two endings.

8Expert Score

Great

OpenCritic lists an 81 Top Critic Average with 82% of 22 critics recommending it, and 94% of 413 Steam reviews are positive. GamingTrend’s reservation is that the game can leave you short on direction while the clock runs.
Claim it if you want detective work that expects you to keep your own notes.
Skip it if a hard clock and wasted in-game days sound like a chore.
