MindsEye Walkthrough: The Shifting Labyrinth Guide

Walkthrough

1
The game begins with Jacob Diaz, a former special ops soldier, taking a job as a senior security officer for a billionaire tech bro's company in a futuristic desert city.
2
Jacob has a military-implanted tech device that may grant him control over robots or make them hostile towards him, stemming from an incident in the Middle East that he has no memory of.
3
Despite being an open-world game, players are heavily railroaded into story missions, with NPCs calling to scold them for deviating from the path or driving too slowly.
4
The core gameplay loop consists of token rounds of pedestrian cover-based shooting against inept enemies, with Jacob's drone superpower only capable of deleting a single target at a time on a cooldown.
5
Other gameplay elements include tailing missions and a single safe-cracking minigame, which are presented as brief diversions before returning to the poor shooting mechanics.
6
The plot is convoluted and inconsistent, featuring a secret alien temple beneath the city that players visit multiple times to confront the main villain.
7
The game's ending is abrupt and unsatisfying, leaving many plot threads unresolved.
8
The billionaire tech bro character, a thinly-veiled Elon Musk stand-in, is portrayed inconsistently, shifting between a manipulative figure and a misunderstood visionary.
9
Optional race challenges are presented in a list within the menus, rather than being organically discoverable within the open world.

Tips

The game's open world is largely empty and serves little purpose beyond driving between linear mission objectives.
Focus on completing the main story missions as quickly as possible to progress, as exploration is actively discouraged.
The drone superpower is of limited utility; rely on conventional shooting mechanics.
Be prepared for a nonsensical and abruptly ending plot.
Look for optional race challenges in the menus if you wish to engage with content that was not integrated into the game world.
