MB Short Story: Origin
Warning: Contains major spoilers for Mind Blind proper (link on its way). Part of this story is playable in final game, but this is the original version.“You must hide!”His older sister’s hands, cold as wet glass, press him deeper into the lacquered wardrobe's depths. The space is small, a...
Delivery for the Damned: Death (Sneak Peek)
“Ah, shit. I hate when kids go like this.” Despite being heavy with regret, the woman’s voice is the most beautiful that you’ve ever heard.She must be an angel come to take you away. You open your eyes, but everything is a red-fogged haze. You attempt to wipe away the blood and sweat, but yo...
MB Short Story: Early Retirement (Kenna Version)
“Your face is perfect for the job,” Death said, clapping her skeletal hands together in satisfaction. “You’re hired.” “Looks are the only requirement for becoming a Grim Reaper?” Kenna asked. “Well, no,” Death confessed, “but if I’m hiring employees, they might as well be eye ...
MB Short Story: Early Retirement (Kent Version)
“Your face is perfect for the job,” Death said, clapping her skeletal hands together in satisfaction. “You’re hired.” “Looks are the only requirement for becoming a Grim Reaper?” Kent asked. “Well, no,” Death confessed, “but if I’m hiring employees, they might as well be eye c...
MB Saucy Side: Word Choice
The knight’s mussels rippled in the moonlight as he bent down to bathe himself in the silvery waters of Lake Silver. The princess stop breathing as silvery droplets of moisture trickled down his bared, rock-hewn abs. What is wrong with me? She thought, too purely innocent to understand the fevere...
MB Short Story: I Told You So
“For the last time, it is NOT going to rain.” Glitch shoves her phone into Kent’s face. “See that forecast? Zero percent chance of rain. Meteorologists sacrificed their lives getting that data.” “Doubtful,” Kent states. Glitch rolls her eyes. “Well, they at least sacrificed sleep. M...
Mind Blind - Now With A Cool Lobotomized Head
The final cover art is here . . . . . . And I’m pretty happy with it!
Demo Update! Three Wisemen Route, Plus Nick Scene Rewrites
Demo update time! I rewrote a lot of stuff based on feedback about the first ending. Interactions with John have more reactivity based on Button’s relationship and past interactions with him, and the scene inside Nick’s head is now twice as long (with three major variations) and hopefully better...
Mind Blind What-If: The Dog Ate It
“Allow me to ascertain that I have this straight,” Ambrose says, pinching the bridge of his nose in effort to ward off a migraine. “A member of Vengeance gave you a flash drive.”“Correct,” you confirm.“A flash drive which, according to this same Vengeance member, contained information ...
Mind Blind's Cover Art
The amazing artist who I'm working with requested a time extension for the final product, but I figured that I'd still share the proposal drafts that she's provided for Mind Blind's cover art. I'm actually just about to send off a message to her about things to possibly tweak (th...
Gray's Epilogue Update
After receiving feedback about the ending, I’ve decided to add one of the epilogues to the current demo so that you guys can get a better idea of how the story wraps up! I think it’ll be more enjoyable to read this way, plus I’ll be able to receive more informed feedback about whether or not t...
Mind Blind: The First Ending, Now Up (Until the very end, y'all. For realsies.)
First off, I am so so so sorry for the delay to schedule! There were more bugs than I anticipated in the newly released sections, and then I had an idea (Chapter 18’s circular narration, to mimic Button literally running out of options), and then I had ANOTHER idea (which was to reveal Nick’s se...
Wherefore Art Thou Juliette
A few people have mentioned not being able to meet Juliette in Chapter 10, so here are a few tips and tricks:1) Use an Interpersonal Button. Having over 50 Interpersonal makes Vengeance like you more (making all the stat checks easier) and also makes Button a better liar (which means certain dialogu...
New Demo Link, Brought To You By Shard
First off: Scroll down for the new demo link! Files with the same name weren't updating for some reason, so I just made a new link to avoid any issues. The old link still works, but it doesn't have both Tunnel Versions.Shard’s pathway is now open until the split branch in Chapter 17 where ...
Demo Update: Evil Button, The Failure
Now up: The pathway where Button fails to win over either Boris or Andy/Liz (until the end of Chapter 17V2). I also implemented the actual requirements to enter the Vengeance path as will be in the full game, to make sure that the scenes are cohesive on playthroughs. Sorry, folks, but your super acc...
Achievements (And a demo bugfix)
The Patreon demo will now correctly go to the next scene after escaping the lab (chapter17K was accidentally written as chapter17k in the code, and that broke everything because coding is evil).As an apology for the bug, here's Mind Blind's complete list of 47 achievements, all of which are ...
Mind Blind: The Final Updates
First of all, Mind Blind demo is up and moved: https://cogdemos.ink/play/bardictype/mind-blind-dungeon-demoWhat’s in this New Demo:-Escape from the basement, with various ways to injure Andy/Liz while doing so (my favorite actually requires that Button fail a certain check, so please play around a...
MB Short Story: First Name Basis
“DECK THE HALLS WITH BOUGHS OF HOLLY!” Glitch sang/bellowed, the lyrics echoing off the high ceiling of Aeon’s lobby.“Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!” Sally and Nick sang in unison. Unlike Glitch, whose soprano remained surprisingly pleasant despite the fact that she was belting as loudly as ...
MB Short Story: Almost Perfect
“Cara mia!” John exclaimed in the worst Spanish accent that Hope had ever heard. “How I adore you!”Hope yelped in protest as John grabbed her hand . . . which was holding a tube of liquid eyeliner. Her perfect cat-eye miraculously remained intact, but it was a close call. Setting down the tu...
Mind Blind AU: The Hallmark Edition
When customers first walked into La Petite Paquerette, it took them several seconds to realize that they were no longer outside. The small shop’s interior resembled not so much a store as it did a secret garden, with only the occasional glimpse of walls peeking through the hanging plants and shelv...
MB Short Story: Drafts
Dear Button,Hi, sweetheart! It’s Mom. Your father said that he’d give you this letter since you haven’tDearest Button,Your father must’ve already told you that this letter was from me, and I’m so happy that you decided to read it. How are you? It’s been a few weeks since we last talked. ...
Mind Blind Short Story: Fifteen Minutes to Friendship
Class ended ten minutes ago. He’s still talking.Antigone and Cassandra are waiting for me. I broke the speed limit to get home during lunch break, but the twenty-minute walk that gave me with them wasn’t long enough. After almost a year of the shelter, the girls deserve—they need—to be intro...
Mind Blind Short Story: The Ring
Despite outward appearances and his own secretly low opinion of himself, Nick was not childish. He could act immature, impulsive, and obnoxiously laddish, but (from what Grayson had gleaned about his history over the years) Nick might be the only responsible adult amongst the three elder Wisemans. C...
Delivery for the Damned Sneak Peak
There’s something wrong in these lands. Something deep and dark, that gnaws at your bones like arthritis on a rainy day. Every step forward sinks your boots a half-inch lower into the mud, but you know not to look down. Never look down.Although you can’t glance at the ground, you’ve delivered ...
MB Short Story: Eclipse
Warning: Contains Mega-Spoilers for Vengeance Ending“Not gonna lie,” Sally said, “I thought it would be bigger.”Glitch’s head swiveled towards her with an expression that was (one would assume) incredulous beneath his dark shades. “It’s the sun,” Glitch said. “Babygirl, this is as ...
MB Short Story: Sibling Rivalry (Featuring Sally)
“Mother?” Shit. Leo only called her ‘Mother’ when he was about to ask one of his infamously awkward questions. At least they weren’t in public this time: Leo’s last precocious bout of four-year-old curiosity had left Sally trying to explain her menstrual cycle in the personal care secti...
Mind Blind Saucy Side: The Note Inside Your Lunchbox (Grayson)
Dearest Love of My Life,By now, you may not remember the offhand comment you made two weeks ago. We were watching that movie, which I can’t recall the name of but was set in Vienna. You mentioned how romantic you found it that the two main characters exchanged love letters.I’m sorry this letter ...
Mind Blind Saucy Side: Vows Upon Skin (Sally)
“Ouch!” You glare accusingly over your shoulder at Sally, who pulls back the tattoo pen from your skin and shrugs non-apologetically.“I told you this would hurt,” she states.“You compared it to kitten scratches!” It feels a little awkward arguing while laying on your stomach with your ex...
Mind Blind Short Story: The Best Last Day (Kenna Version)
Notes:-This is a saddish story as it deals with Annie and Cass’s final sendoff. (That being said, I gave them eighteen years, which is a lot for shih tzus!)-Kenzie is the least likely Mind Blind RO to want children. That being said, I really wanted to do a series of all the ROs interacting with th...
