JAPAN — 12 Aug. 2026 — Mind Diver, the award-winning detective adventure developed by Indoor Sunglasses and published by PLAYISM, swims through subconscious mysteries on Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 on Friday, 27 Aug. 2026.
Tragedy befalls a couple deeply in love. Lina’s boyfriend Sebastian disappears, and rapid-onset amnesia obfuscates her memories. The police investigation hits dead end after dead end, and only experimental technology can extract the truth before her fragmented recollections cease to exist. Plunge into her foggy subconscious as a Mind Diver, reconstruct broken memories, and solve the case through careful deduction.
An unsettling confrontation outside a suspicious party. Waking up the morning after. A fading memory of a visit to the police station. Somewhere in between Lina’s scattered memories lies the truth of Sebastian’s disappearance. Dive into Lina’s Mind Ocean, where incomplete snapshots in time exist throughout eight deteriorating Regions of her mind. Rebuild neural connections to unlock new Regions and open pathways deeper into Lina’s subconsciousness.
Construct a complete timeline of what really happened the night of the party. Scan more than 130 Echoes, artifacts containing fully voiced snippets of conversation. Listen for hints to separate clues from coincidences, and elucidate incomplete thoughts by filling Memory Holes with 700+ missing objects from her surroundings.
Inspect case files to get the scoop on all persons of interest, analyze where their paths cross, and narrow down the list of suspects while working out their possible motivations. Cross-reference every conversation in the Memory Log, and piece together a full picture of Lina and Sebastian’s tragic love story.
“Mind Diver tells a story about human connection filled with emotional highs and lows, and how life can unexpectedly go awry,” said Victor Breum, Co-Founder and Lead Developer of Indoor Sunglasses. “Return of the Obra Dinn was a major inspiration for us, and it means so much to us that Lucas Pope enjoyed his time with our game. We hope this examination of the human condition elicits similar reactions with the PlayStation 5 and Switch 2 communities across the globe.”
Mind Diver is available now on PC via Steam, and is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 on Thurs, 27 Aug. 2026 for $17.99 USD / €17.99 with language support in English, Japanese, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Danish, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional).
