Mind Heist is a story-driven, action-adventure game in which you take on the role of 'The Sandman' (based off the central and northern European folklore) however you're somewhat of a mercenary or contract thief, hired by people to locate and either erase or steal memories. You get hired by multiple parties under contract and remove unwanted memories from a specific target, and your employer pays you kindly.

As the story progresses, the sandman starts to discover a pattern in contracts. Noticing this pattern, you decide to investigate – someone wants something hidden and they're using you as their scapegoat.

The combat system will involve memory manipulation, which can involve illusions and physical representations – similar to Green Lantern (DC Comics), but for the sake of game development it would only be a set amount of effects. When performing a mind heist however, the player must try keeping apparitions to a minimum as it may disturb the person whose mind is being infiltrated, therefore introducing a stealth aspect.

Features:

  • Immersive story
  • Contract thief/bounty hunter betrayed by employer
  • Dynamic combat involving manipulation of imaginary space
  • Stealth system

Intended for PC, Xbox One and Play Station 4

Inspired by the musical composition of the same name from the movie 'Inception' (The one that goes BWAAAAAAAH!)
