Press release:
JAPAN – Aug. 27, 2026 – Mind Diver, the award-winning detective adventure developed by Indoor Sunglasses and published by PLAYISM, launches today on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2, with a 10% discount available for users PS Plus members and Switch 2 owners based in North America until Wed, Sept. 9, 2026 at 11:59 PM PDT.

Lina and Sebastian’s relationship seemed idyllic until his sudden disappearance, and her recollection of his last known locations and interactions are the only warm leads. The police investigation takes a dark turn as rapid-onset amnesia clouds Lina’s memories. Only an experimental mnemonic technology known as Mind Diving can extract the truth before the shards of Lina’s fragmented memories disappear forever.

Lina was there when Sebastian was confronted outside the party… but who was the person yelling, and what did they say? The conversation next morning was tense… but why? Delve through incomplete memories frozen in time, connecting nearby objects with moments to synaptically turn fragmented recollections into full-blown memories. Piece together a timeline through careful deduction across eight Regions of her deteriorating subconscious.

Unlock new Regions by rebuilding neural connections, opening pathways deeper into Lina’s subconscious. Scan more than 130 Echoes, artifacts containing fully voiced snippets of conversation. Carefully listen for hints to separate clues from coincidences, and form complete thoughts by filling Memory Holes with 700+ missing objects from Lina’s surroundings.

Isolated moments may have surprising connections — gather dossiers on persons of interest, narrow down the list of suspects, and analyze where the dots connect while working out possible motivations for every suspect. Cross-reference their conversations in the Memory Log, and elucidate exactly where Lina and Sebastian’s love story took its tragic, dark turn.

“Mind Diver has a special way of making players slow down, listen, and process what they just heard,” said Victor Breum, Co-Founder and Lead Developer of Indoor Sunglasses.

“It’s been a hard-fought, well-deserved journey from Best Student Game at IGF 2023 to now launching onto the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2, and we look forward to creating even more mystery games in the future.”

Mind Diver is available now on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 for $17.99 USD / €17.99, and the Nintendo Switch 2 with a 10% discount available for users based in North America until Wed, Sept. 9, 2026 at 11:59 PM PDT.
