Game publisher Playism exhibited at PAX East 2025, where we sampled some of their games.
Mind Diver:
Mind Diver is a mystery adventure game where players take on the role of a Mind Diving specialist, exploring fragmented memories to solve cases. Similar to the braindance technology in Cyberpunk 2077, players delve into detailed recreations of memories to gather evidence. Guided by a companion who monitors and communicates from the real world, players investigate the past.
In the demo, players examine the memory of the day before a person’s disappearance at a bar. Each memory area contains black hole-like gaps representing misplaced items. By listening to echoes and identifying the missing items, players unlock further details and progress to the next memory.
The challenge escalates as players must move items between different memories to fill the gaps correctly, gradually unraveling the mystery. Mind Diver is recommended for those who enjoy detective mystery games and offers a compelling investigative experience. Mind Diver will be coming to Steam this year in 2025, but no specific release dates or timeline yet.
Break Arts III:
Break Arts III, a mecha simulation game arriving on Steam August 8th, 2025, lets players customize mechs for battle, racing, or both. Catering to all skill levels, beginners can use auto-construct, partial allows for basic construction with customization, and full mode grants complete control over mech creation.
Gameplay features include racing against other mechs and combat in battlefield arenas, with unique propulsion mechanics allowing forward and upward movement. Strategic resource management is key as overheating can temporarily disable thrusters and weapons.
Beyond racing and combat, a new Diorama mode lets players build visually appealing mechs and earn points based on customization and piloting. A co-op mode enables online multiplayer. Break Arts III is a highly anticipated title for fans of the Armored Core series.
