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 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 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.

A hidden gem. Incomparably profound writing. I prefer this to Disco Elysium and Detroit. The perspectives are diverse, but each is profound. Not only does understand the operating rules of the huge system of society, but also tries his best to empathize with individuals. No matter what ending I choose, I feel like I did something bad, which is appreciated. There is no fairy tale-like story, but it deeply leads players to realize the value of ideal existence. I feel that the sales have not paid off, and I feel a little sad about this. I hope that more people can discover it. If the production team continues to produce, I hope to find a good sponsor.
神作,伟大的赛博朋克叙事作品。 即便在算力发达,AI能解决众多问题的时代,人与人之间的真情和对自我的探索也不会停止。沉没意志对众多话题展开了讨论,无论是从AI与人类的关系,正义标准的探索,道德与利益的取舍,抑或是该如何爱一个人......我不止一次的向自己发问,我的选择是什么,我的选择真的是基于自由意志吗? 最后,不止一次为主角与芳的神仙爱情而流泪。芳!我永远的老婆!!好想和你在湾北就这样安安稳稳的过上小日子。但是对不起,我无法对这么多人的苦难视而不见。最终还是以我残躯化烈火了!如果是你的话,也会支持我的吧。

戴世杰你好,我是你的好朋友阿岚岚~ 期待下一次见面 这么牛逼的游戏就不能做一下广告吗! 感恩夏促吧我还是。
I really did not what to expect from this game. Its amazing, nice story telling, nice music, at any point I felt "bored" there was always something happening. 10/10
一款不平凡的作品,确会让人在许多平凡的瞬间、决定的时刻,沉静激烈的思考
神作—— 特别优秀的剧本和演出,尤其是主线结局个人觉得非常锦上添花,游玩过程有许多小细节丰富世界观,群像也写得非常好,几乎每个人物的塑造都很立体,喜欢每一个人...虽然体感上比起剧情其实更侧重观点输出,不知道会不会有人觉得有说教之嫌,但我个人还挺喜欢这种的,可能也是有些讨论/观点是我本人也确实思考过的问题所以接受度十分良好...总之就是对上电波了,我很喜欢! 一定要说扣分项的话可能就是 [spoiler] 最后的meta要素让我觉得蛮奇怪的()虽然也猜到有可能会来这一出啦...但是我从头到尾一直在猜测自己到底是个什么存在,想着会不会在最后和主线连上,结果打完了发现原来我啥也不是,至少让我感觉自己啥也不是就是个摄像头( [/spoiler]
非常优秀的剧情,可惜听制作组访谈到后面没有经费了,否则一定会变得更好。这么好的游戏销量却如此惨淡有点可惜,期待续作或者dlc还能看到他们的故事,加油
When I got this game, I was keeping my expectations low and from the gameplay aspect, it's very lacking, but I knew that from the get-go. This is up to my preference, but I'd like to experience all a game has to have but there is little UI it doesn't lead you to all the interactions, opportunities, or choices you can make which means you might miss a chance to find another outcome that the game presents. What I was truly looking for was the story and atmosphere, and they far exceeded that. Though there are only a few locations to explore it feels lived-in listening to random strangers' conversations or even talking to them, and what they don't tell, they show with amazing backgrounds and animation. Getting to know your situation from a very confusing prologue, you slowly learn about what your place in the world is, the people and the environment they live in. it's very dystopian where most are only surviving and in turn exploited for what little they have body and mind but in such a world you still find good people trying to help, but many have different views on how to do so. It's up to you to try to see all sides of the situation and to make your own conclusions. It challenges your belief in what is right or wrong, moral or immoral. Games like these are rare and to evoke such emotions from me deserves recommendation at least. Spoilers [spoiler]I knew a little of what to expect going into this, a foreign mind in a body of a stranger playing out their life as if we were them. I assume that we were in for a fun but short ride. What I didn't expect was to care about the people around me your coworkers, the flops, even enemies, had a perspective that I tried to understand. The world isn't black and white its up to us to find the grey. I'd say even the endings don't have a "right" choice because what I think would be canonical doesn't feel right to me. I'm not Jason Dai so to continue being him would be living a lie, disregarding his autonomy and choices even if I don't believe they're right. In the end It's not my body, not my life to live; it's Jason's. So I choose differently and that for me makes for a great experience.[/spoiler]
文字类游戏中高水准之作,人物形象鲜明
夯夯夯夯夯夯夯夯夯夯夯夯夯夯夯夯夯夯夯夯夯夯夯夯夯夯 最推荐的vn,目前心中第一。世界观还是人物塑造都强到爆。主要角色的动机和行为逻辑跟干的事都对的上,次要人物群像塑造也很用心。甚至玩家扮演玩家自己所用的容器士杰老哥都有塑造一些。最后结局揭露也是震撼完了。作品标题也很有巧思。 本作也描写了大量冲突,非常具有思辨性和深度。然而也没有说教意味,相当尊重你的选择。我接触vn的时间不久,但沉默意志真的是我目前见过最具深度的vn。力荐。
