Mindcop is a detective game where you investigate a murder in a small town. As the Mindcop, you have the unusual ability to enter suspects' minds, which plays out as a real-time puzzle where you dig up hidden memories and catch people in lies. Between these sessions, you talk to residents, collect evidence and follow leads in whatever order you choose, building your case step by step.
It is a single-player game with a relaxed pace, though the investigation runs on a limited schedule, so you have to decide where to spend your time. Mindcop suits players who enjoy whodunnit mysteries and want a story game that also tests their puzzle skills.
