How it feels

A thoughtful visual novel where your choices shape a universe governed by science and art, exploring ideological division and human fallibility.

What players say

Players are split on Mindworks: The Great Division. Many say it is too short, only two chapters taking about 20 minutes, and feels more like a comic or an unpublished ebook than a real game. Critics call the writing poor, with awkward structure and grammar, while a few enjoy the philosophical themes and art, but all agree it needs the rest of its chapters to be satisfying.
