And from it, the survivors learned to harness the power source known as Zygnoka. In the next forty years, the megacity known as The Structure was erected inside the impact crater. Here, the people isolated themselves, accelerating their dependence on technology and created a society as a machine of its own. In The Structure, order and efficiency is maintained by severe top-down control. In the name of efficiency, new machines and instruments are put to use on the public the instant they are invented. In pursuit of optimisation, a new profession is tasked to maintain the increasingly precarious anomaly levels of the city's inhabitants. These are called Mind Scanners. 

Press reviews: “Mind Scanners is its own thing too, with a distinctive colour palette, a crunchy retro-futuristic aesthetic, and a uniquely disturbing dystopian setting.” PC Gamer “Mind Scanners brings the dystopian ideals of 1984 and meshes them with an indie aesthetic that certainly got our attention when it popped up on our feeds.” Game Space “[...] it’s fun, it’s harmless and it could potentially raise awareness about mental health, which means we’re moving in the right direction in more ways than one.” rpglmntz
