About this gameFull description from Steam
Story Embark on a thrilling sci-fi journey in a futuristic Asian city with MINDS BENEATH US. In a society fully automated by advanced AI, you find yourself trapped in a foreign body, alongside the subconscious of its original owner. As society evolves, a new industry emerges that replaces the hardware needed to operate AI-automated systems with human brains. Consequently, the most disadvantaged citizens have had no choice but to sign up one after another. Against the backdrop of this mad society, a conspiracy gradually unfolds. Features Players can make their own dialogue choices and shape the relationships between characters throughout the journey. The combination of dialogue choices and actions will continually affect the story. Observe environments, pay attention to the dialogue, and then look for hidden clues in every scene. This way, you can even unlock new dialogue choices. With hand-drawn animation and smooth camera movement, a unique cinematic experience is created. The game combines 2D characters and detailed 3D environments to present the streets of a near-future Taipei.
