MindsEye Walkthrough: The City's Embrace Guide

Walkthrough

1
The game begins with Jacob Diaz, a former special ops soldier with a mysterious past involving an alien virus or tech implant, moving to a futuristic desert city.
2
He gets a job as a senior security officer for a billionaire tech bro company, despite lacking memory of his past and seemingly not being present for the hiring process.
3
The plot is inconsistent, with Jacob's motivations shifting between uncovering his past, protecting his employer, seeking revenge on the military, or pursuing a hacker girl.
4
Players are immediately locked into story missions, with NPCs nagging them if they deviate from the direct path, making exploration difficult.
5
Missions often involve driving across the city, engaging in token rounds of cover-based shooting against inept enemies, and occasional tailing or minigame sequences.
6
Jacob's drone superpower has a limited function: deleting a single target when its cooldown is up.
7
The game features optional race challenges that are presented in a menu list rather than being organically discoverable in the open world.
8
The plot involves a secret alien temple beneath the city, a recurring villain, and a billionaire tech bro character who is ambiguously portrayed as either a visionary genius or a manipulative figure.
9
The game ends abruptly after a convoluted series of plot points, leaving many questions unanswered.

Tips

The game's open world is largely empty with little to do, so focus on completing the main story missions.
Be prepared for frequent driving segments and repetitive shooting encounters.
Pay attention to the drone's cooldown to maximize its limited use in combat.
The plot is inconsistent and often nonsensical; do not expect a cohesive narrative.
The game's ending is abrupt and unsatisfying.
