The sketchy, black and white art was really effective at conveying the tone of the story. Piecing together the story with each reveal was interesting. It was pretty sad to read everyone's emails and then see their memories in COSy, realizing that they're all dead. I gotta replay it sometime to see the other choices and go through everything again with context. The "(no correlation)" line in the credits made me laugh.
Great game with superb mysterious twisted plot and unique atmosphere. Music is also very good.
I have mixed feelings about graphics. They are really stylish, but inconsistent. Some of drawings are great, but others are mediocre. I think graphics are not so important.
To sum up, the game is one of a kind, providing a lot of deep thoughts.
I highly recommend it to all those who like hard science fiction mixed with emotional family plots and issues related to human nature and the desire to unite with the family, remembering the positive relations between them.
Hello! I downloaded the latest Mac build of the game, but it seems like the app needs to be resigned. Let me know if you need more details to repro this error.
Thank you for letting me know. I found a quick workaround if you are comfortable with it. You can just remove the warning flag in terminal and it'll let you play the game just fine.
Alt (option) + rightclick on the .app and copy path name and then in the terminal:
Thanks! Just got it downloaded and I'm gonna start playing in a few minutes here. Btw, I just wanna add that the art is what drew me to this game. It's amazing! Great style and use of shading. Love the details in the lips as well.

Just replace "/Users/dcmacbookpro/Downloads/The_Minds_Eclipse-mac/TheMindsEclipse.app" with your own pathname!

I'll get around to resigning this, I just need to pull up the old source files and re-download xcode *sigh*
Thanks for your quick reply! And no worries, I can play the other builds of the game. :-)
I downloaded your game but it says it's only the demo? Where can I get the full game?
Hi! Thanks for reaching out.
There's two versions for download. Look for the one that is over 900mb, that's the full game.
The one that is 200-300mb that has demo in the title is probably the one you downloaded.
Let me know if its still not working and I'll dig in further!
Thanks! Just got it downloaded and I'm gonna start playing in a few minutes here. Btw, I just wanna add that the art is what drew me to this game. It's amazing! Great style and use of shading. Love the details in the lips as well.
Thanks so much! I hope you ended up finding the game intriguing and enjoyable. Please do share with your friends!
A beautiful game. The story and the visual style are just great.
Thank you!
