MindWare: Infected Identity is a free-to-play, work-in-progress adult interactive fiction game set in a cyberpunk world where even the human mind isn't safe from malware.
I want MindWare to give players an experience that combines a tight, well-paced main storyline with the freedom to explore expansive side content. The goal is to offer players a sense of autonomy in how they experience the game while replicating the narrative intensity found in games like Mass Effect.
The game will feature a variety of mini-games that will hopefully add fun layers of interactivity to the gameplay.
I've been a fan of adult Twine games for years and years, but MindWare is my first serious attempt to create one myself. As such, I'm making a lot of mistakes and not always able to live up to my own expectations, but I'm having a lot of fun and learning a great deal in the process.
I hope you'll give MindWare a try and enjoy the experience I'm creating. If you do, please don't hesitate to join my Discord server where you can connect with other players and share your thoughts.

Supports get access to early beta versions, extra in-game options, additional player avatars, and more.
In MindWare: Infected Identity, you play as a former freelance hacker who is trying to get by in a neon-soaked city where pleasure is the ultimate goal for many.
Your life takes an unexpected turn when a seemingly routine dive into the cyberspace ends with you becoming infected with a gender-altering mindware, a cutting-edge strain of malware that targets the human brain.
Your choices become pivotal in shaping not only your identity but also the path of your story. Will you embrace your new identity and the allure and thrill it brings? Or will you seek to control or reverse the mindware’s effects, fighting to maintain your former self?

I still enjoy this game, but I feel like the progress has been painfully slow these last few months. I hope that, once the game engine will be finally set, we'll find true story progression.
One of the best fetish game, if you likes Latex dolls, drones, bimbos, mtf and other cyberpunk future stuff. Its very early build but creator uploads a lot new game builds per month. For Me? 9/10
Impressive on a technical level, with good UI and animations, but on the gameplay level, there is way too much grind for little or no payoff, and plenty of completely unnecessary *WEEKS* of just going to bed as soon as you wake up to plow through to the next event because there is no content in between. I'd say the dev either has to work on making these wait periods significantly shorter, or add a lot more to do in the meantime than just wake up, use bot to get 500$, go to bed, rinse and repeat. There isn't even anything to spend the excess energy on that has any impact on the game.
I really like the theme, the UI and the overall story however, on a grindy game like this one, there needs to be some random encounters because sometimes it just feels like I'm pressing the same buttons again and again and most of the side content leads to no where right now. The base is there, updates come regularly, which is great, but this feels like it will be wort playing in a year or so.
Also the button press sound is obnoxious, I turn the sound off because of that.
Already intriguing and very promising! I'm not normally interested in these "grind" games but there was enough story and variation to keep me entertained throughout the current content. I found myself interested in all of the characters and the story progression, which is rare for a "porn" game.
I'm not entirely sure if it's purposeful or not, but I went a "full reluctanct" route and ended up in a day-to-day work grind making more and more money but nothing else happening in the story. It is honestly the perfect boring bad end that someone who chooses this life deserves and I hope the author keeps it that way.
