About This Game

Mind Gazing is a lateral-thinking social puzzle game where a strange, compact story hides a single coherent truth beneath the surface.

HOW IT WORKS

One player (the GM) picks a scenario and reads it to the group while keeping the full solution secret. Everyone else asks questions that can only be answered with “Yes”, “No”, “Maybe”, or “Irrelevant”, tightening the net until the mystery clicks into place.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

• A curated library of 100+ handcrafted scenarios organized across five themes: Mystery & Crime, Everyday Life, Nature & Environment, Science & Technology, and Supernatural.

• Filters for difficulty, solved/unsolved progress, and child-friendly content so you can pace your sessions your way.

• “Based on real events” markers on selected stories for an extra spark of curiosity.

• A custom-story editor plus community sharing—bring your own riddles and browse what other players publish.

PLAY SOLO OR ONLINE

• AI Solo Play: practice the same deduction loop against an AI-powered GM, generate an on-demand “thought map” from your Q&A trail, and use structured hint chips to sharpen your questions.

• Online multiplayer: host or join a room with friends; long-term goals include multiplayer achievement milestones you can chase across sessions.

ON STEAM

• A clean desktop experience without mobile ad flows, with Steam-friendly integration such as Rich Presence, Steam Cloud, and Steam achievements.

Whether you want a quick brain-teaser between tasks or a late-night “one more story” spiral with friends, Mind Gazing packs sharp deduction into short, replayable sessions. Online features require an internet connection.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Mind Gazing uses generative AI during gameplay in optional modes and helpers. For example, in AI Solo Play the game sends your questions (and relevant story context) to an AI model so it can respond with Yes / No / Unknown-style guidance and short explanations. Some features also use AI to summarize progress or suggest structured hints (such as progress or “thought map” style outputs). AI output is generated live and may vary between sessions; it is not hand-authored line-by-line for every possible question. If you see inappropriate or infringing AI output, please use Steam’s reporting tools. An internet connection may be required for features that call our online services.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Mind Gazing is a lateral-thinking puzzle game built around short mystery scenarios. Many stories involve mature themes described in text, including death, violence, crime, suicide, and substance use (including addiction). Some scenarios include non-graphic references to adult topics (for example relationships or identity) without depicting sexual acts.

Online multiplayer includes text chat and voice clips between players; other people’s messages are not fully predictable. Optional AI-assisted modes can generate short text during play; wording may vary between sessions.

There is no explicit sexual content intended as the focus of the product. If you are sensitive to dark or distressing written topics, please read reviews or try a demo before purchasing.
