I use the word "catastrophic" quite a lot—it's one of those things that just happens when you write about videogames for a living—but there are few games more deserving of the term than MindsEye, one of 2025's biggest flops. A rough pre-release led into an even worse launch: Player counts on Steam were microscopic, layoffs at developer Build a Rocket Boy followed, and the whole thing was clearly, incontrovertibly, and utterly cooked.

And yet. Somehow, here we are with a new update, and a promise of even bigger things to come. As Benoit Blanc famously said, "It makes no damn sense. Compels me, though."
