Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 4.11/day in the week to Aug 4 → 18.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
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.
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.

2026-08-23 神中神!!! 我承认我是一条庸俗的狗,我所有的行为动机都是为了程芳,我会在所有重大的选择面前,为了她更在意眼前的苟且与确幸,选择对“远处的哭声”视而不见。游戏里面每个NPC的喜怒哀乐是如此生动,以至于让我觉得,没有具体面容的他们比具体的个人更加鲜活和真实。游戏里的BGM上大分,超级爱湾北街头的CIty Of Light和结尾落日飞车的10-Year-Taipei。
故事設定充滿細節,賽博龐克背景也賞心悅目
未达到预期,可能不适合我,尤其是任何选项都不会影响整体剧情走向这一点

神作,整个流程比我预想的要长很多。 在游玩的过程中我看了一些差评,“烂尾”、“高开低走”令我感到不安,但当结局真的迎来,但当真相昭然若揭时,「救赎」这是我第一想到的词。 制作组从头到尾想表达的都很清晰,或许会因无法对上电波而让部分玩家感觉被背叛、莫名其妙、意义何在,但我喜欢这部作品。
Unforgettable Journey It has been an amazing experience on the Steam Deck. From beginning to end, the story was truly immersive. It is slow paced and a bit repetitive but it is worth trying out. By the end of the game, it left me empty and wishing more. I enjoyed the neon dystopian city of Wanpei. It can be beautiful to look at but hidden beneath all of it shows the world is run by shady organizations. Every character has their own stories where they tackle their flaws and develop. It does need some optimization and English patch. I noticed a few FPS drops, heavy GPU usage, and grammatical error. Hopefully, more people try out this game because it deserves more attention. Overall, I recommend playing MBU. Underrated masterpiece.
23宁芳杰大家都要幸福啊!!!!!很高兴认识你们!
Это было хорошо. Сюжет хорош, не шедевр, но он достаточно оригинальный, при этом не содержит откровенного бреда. Персонажи хорошо раскрыты, их мотивация понятна и не вызывает вопросов. Визуал приятный, хотя локаций маловато и к концу игры несколько приедается. Геймплейно это чистая интерактивная литература, хотя начинается как point-and-click, но потом игра состоит только из диалогов и нескольких QTE. Единственное, к чему у меня есть претензии - это локализация. Она не хромает, ей оторвало одну ногу и она еле ползет в канаву. Множественные орфографические и грамматические ошибки (я видел до 7 штук на 1 предложение), несоответствие переводов имен (то Ситу, то Сы Ту, отдел Отбора иногда превращается в отдел Скрининга и т. д.), постоянные ошибки с выбором рода говорящего и так далее. Это раздражает и отвлекает от чтения. По крайней мере фактических ошибок я не заметил, сюжет всё ещё нормально клеится. Впрочем, тут надо сравнивать с оригиналом, а я в макаронах не силён. В общем и целом - рекомендую. Достойный представитель жанра.
给了我需要的人文关怀
国产游戏剧情巅峰(我玩过的) 不是老生常谈的人工智能有没有意识这一主题,而是 互相释放善意建立友好联系, 在复仇与现实挣扎中诠释何为正义, 通过复制诞生的血肉机器,植入心智是否能称之为人类? 还有赖洁和家骐的辩论与眠神的呼应,拍案叫绝 等等等等 CPU超负荷了哈哈 就是steam的云同步失败,吞了我4h的游玩时长(可恶) 总之,强烈推荐
