MindsEye

MindsEye is a linear third-person action-adventure game that has a pseudo-open world similar to Mafia: Definitive Edition. Redrock City serves as the game's main playable area. As part of the game creation system Everywhere, players are able to add user-generated creations to MindsEye's world and create things using Everywhere's tools, with associate game director Adam Whiting comparing the game to custom Minecraft servers. Assets from MindsEye can also be used in other aspects of Everywhere.

Jacob Diaz accepts a job offer from the Silva Corporation based in the desert city of Redrock, though he suffers from memory loss and traumatic flashbacks of a military operation gone wrong three years ago. He reports to his superior, Kerry Rigby, and is put straight to work dealing with several of Silva's automated robots which have mysteriously gone rogue. However, his true aim is to find the missing scientist Hunter Morrison, who developed the MindsEye neural implant he received in the military which has afflicted him with numerous mental and memory issues. He manages to thwart an attempted theft of Silva Corp technology by a mercenary group called Red Sands, whose leader apparently also has a MindsEye implant along with a bionic arm. He also rescues a hacker named Charlie from Red Sands, who agrees to assist him in his investigations.

Jacob's performance attracts the attention of Silva Corp's eccentric CEO, Marco Silva, who assigns Jacob to be his personal bodyguard. While guarding Silva, Jacob learns he has an intense rivalry with Redrock's mayor, Shiva Vega, who is an obstacle to his desire to launch rockets to fulfill his dream of interstellar colonization. After Jacob rescues Silva from a kidnapping attempt by Red Sands, the latter reveals he knew Jacob was looking for answers about the MindsEye and Morrison, and promises to provide them. Silva then reactivates Jacob's Mindseye, allowing him to slowly regain his lost memories as well as improve his control over drones.

MindsEye was developed by Build a Rocket Boy, a studio based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Leslie Benzies, known for his work for the Grand Theft Auto games, served as the game's director. The game was created as a proof of concept for Everywhere, a game creation tool. It was envisioned as a premium experience set entirely within the free-to-play Everywhere platform.

In 2023, it was revealed by the team that MindsEye would be an episodic game. Each episode of MindsEye would be set in "different time periods and parts of the universe", though the episodes would be connected by an overarching narrative. MindsEye was described by the team as a cinematic story-focused game, one that would last for about 20 hours. The narrative would explore themes such as artificial intelligence, technology, greed and corruption.

MindsEye received "generally unfavorable" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic, where the game had the lowest score among all games a week after its release. OpenCritic determined that 8% of critics recommended the game. Luke Reilly of IGN described it as "simply not ready to be released", and GameSpot's Richard Wakeling called it "stringent and relentlessly dull". Aaron Byrne from Push Square called it "a broken, boring mess of a game that has somehow been allowed out in the world."

while The Guardian's Christian Donlan was more positive, stating that despite "all its failings", he "rarely disliked playing it". The game also launched to "mostly negative" to "mixed" user reviews on Steam.
