Mindwipe Castle

I've enjoyed your games in the past, but I had to ask, are there any plans to put the demo on itch? I tried to play it on newgrounds but I couldn't even get to the menu, it was just stuck on a loading screen

I unlocked playing as Miranda but when I switch to it and click new game it switches back to Anna. Do I have to wait for a certain point?

Just wanted to bring a couple of minor things to your attention. the first is that upon failing villain mode, the characters had 3 portraits. Secondly, at the end of case 2, the villain seems to have the wrong image after sniffing the cloth.

Loved the game so far! But i have been doing the villian mode with Samantha and even with the choices you recommend in the walkthrough the bar never gets past Miranda's shoulder.

im just curious i see it says update 6 hours ago but i dont see a change log 

is it bug fixes or is there content 

 btw great game i love the concept its honestly genius combining murder mystery with a hypnosis game its something i have never seen anything like and its awesome

Great game so far! I will say, there's a significant glitch I've encountered in Case 2. For some reason, the hidden room background is just displaying as pure white--UI elements show up, and it displays during conversations, but I had to check the walkthrough to be sure I wasn't missing anything critical...don't think I got the report, unless that's what Miranda found. Any idea what might be causing this, and how to fix it if it happens again?

Edit: Poking around, I noticed that the white screen was supposed to have been fixed in a previous patch...however, the problem persists even after downloading the most recent version of the game and replacing all the files. Although it seems like you said the patch was uploaded "earlier today" on the 4th, while the most recent bugfix devlog was on the 1st, so...? I dunno. Guess this is what version numbers are for.

a interesting idea, i have played it and enjoyed it alot, sometimes goofy def the cloud person, tho i was hoping to be a villain aswell and choose your own victim ( i would again be weird and choose the cloud and bother the rest with her abilities i guess) but for the rest, you keep on making good things man fan of all your works! i might have not found things yet cause i have only been playing it since yesterday

Hay! I'm fellow developer! How on the earth you manage to add your logo in the white bar in the upper left corner?? I spend entire morning to figure it out! Where I can change it, in witch css or html file? Thanks, that would help me a lot!

Not a bad game! I have my critiques of the systems (sometimes it felt really hard to figure out when to actually use the prompts during the debates, and the agree button only being used twice (and both in the same debate) feels like a bit of a wasted opportunity), but I think it was overall functional enough! The second debate was probably the most egregious of them: I knew where I needed to go, but it was hard to figure out where or when exactly to press things when it came to successfully navigating that debate. I also think that we could just do away with previously presented evidence, and maybe remove a thing or two from the evidence screen entirely: the mana chamber evidence doesn't need to be there at all, Misty's wake-up call is wholly irrelevant, and the ones about the fake light and there being nothingness outside are total fluff, for instance. I get the idea that you want evidence there that might throw you off, but I think there's a distinct difference between "misdirection" and "clutter". The Anne defense trial stumped me for a while purely because what I needed to continue was literally at the very bottom of the list, which had something like 30 items I had to scroll past first.

In terms of writing: I think your writing is pretty good! I always prefer more character-driven writing and character agency when it comes to mind control themes, and it's something you delivered with this. 

There's also a few bugs or details that I figured I should mention, since they're present in the updated version:

• The secret room behind the throne is now just completely white for me. All of the buttons and prompts show up and work fine, but that room specifically is just a white void for some reason. The background does show up properly in dialogue, just not when you're exploring.
• I feel like when Miranda submits at the end of her trial, the portrait should've changed to her glassy-eyed one like everyone else's. She remains in her previous portrait for both the Anne and Miranda playthroughs.
• I couldn't access Miranda Mode for the longest time: I would switch modes in the menu, but when I hit "play" on an empty save file it would switch the portraits and then start playing Anne's story. I figured out that if I instead hit the "new" button on an existing save file, that would actually let me access Miranda Mode properly. I'm sure that's unintended behavior, right?

And that's about it! Not a bad game, and I'm interested in seeing some of your other projects in the future!

man we really need a walkthrough/hint system enabled for Villain Mode cause wow they are *hard*

Good idea of the game, but a got a bug where I can't start a game as Miranda. When I change mode and start new game, it just transfers me back to Anne

I enjoyed this overall.  A few comments/suggestions;

1.  The hint system should still be usable in Villain Mode.

2.  Related, we need a walkthrough.

3.  Raven's villain end CG should have featured Dominya.  Just sayin'

Keep up the good work!

Will this ever come to steam?

The secret room where we find Silvia and Eliza at the start of the second trial is a completely white screen, except when talking to someone there. Is that a known problem?

Great Game, feels like NSFW Cluedo

I keep getting crashes during the 4th trial after Anne says "She kept talking about an audience". I have no idea why but it seems I'm soft-locked.

The game is filled with something called 'Noise'. It puts more in-front of you than you need and you need to sift through the Noise to find the correct answers. Many of the Investigations are also oddly phrase with their answers-as sometimes you have to OBJECT to Statements that Characters KNOW are truthful, which makes no sense, but the AGREE button doesn't work in those instances, and neither does Presenting Evidence.
These are problems that persist throughout the ENTIRE game. Quite frankly, its a well-written, but poorly designed Puzzle Game which is less logical thinking and more general Guessing. The only reason I bought the full version in the first place is because I know the Authors can make good quality products, and just failed to in this instance. The CGs are also disappointing, and there's less MC content then a game called 'Mindwipe Castle' would have, one would think. If I were to compare it to other MC games that are currently on Steam, selling for the same price (or less in some cases), it'd be a solid 5/10 in terms of Overall Quality and Quantity of Content in terms of Price. The works of Azurezero and 072 Project vary greatly in price, some even being double this games 7.50$, but giving quite literally double or triple the product. Even the games from Azurezero-which are all 11$ are lower have more content, more interactive gameplay, and have more lively, visually stimulating art.


This Game, in my opinion, is worth 5$. And that's me being Generous, as due to an error on the Developers part-you can access nearly every CG, without context, just by opening the Full Versions Graphic Files. Now, consider for a moment, why we're all playing and paying. For the CGs, right? But not the Bare-Minimum MC content, nor the mediocre gameplay and certainly not that bad game design elements with buggy navigation, poorly done "Villain Mode" which breaks every rule of the Base Games Gameplay Loop, and don't get me started on playing as Miranda-which is where you click the mouse...re-hash the entire story...and get a single extra CG at the end of four pairs of tits.

This game is disappointing in comparison to my expectations, other games on the Market, and the Standard of Quality I expected from somebody who makes their whole business about this kind of content.

just bought the game and trying to do the first trial... the Agree and Object Button seem to do the same thing (That is on Agree i also get the "This isn't right!" graphic). Also i cant seem to enter any evidence. This is either terribly explained or bugged.

After activating hints i managed to do the trial, but without hints i would have never been able to do so. the points at which you're supposed to press the buttons were totally unintuitive to me.

Also it wasn't clear that the "this isn't right" Graphic flashing when i pressed "agree" was actually telling me that this was simply the wrong move. Maybe use a different Graphic for that instance. Or a bit more in-depth of a tutorial, with samples of how correct and incorrect actions are supposed to look like.

Now that i finished the trial thanks to cheating i understand it enough to do the rest on my own i think.

Hey, it seems fun, but I've been having some crashes. It's full version, not the demo.

These crashes happen randomly, during the dialog. It happens quite often.

Once, I had no fonts, ie. the boxes were blank, the new evidence window was also blank (but it had the icon). No idea if it's related.

Ok, on the second case "spoiler":

i go to the place behind the throne and find miranda but i can't talk to her. I click on her icon but nothing happens.

Ok, I downloaded the demo and it looks promising. Except one thing: that red letters on the blue background burned out my eyes. You really should select a different color.

One question is where is the download link for the game because it says that it was released yesterday and so far I can pay the 7 euros somewhere or buy the game, there is a button for it on this page

Sounds like fun!

Will it be replayable, or might it feel repetitive as you replay?
