Introducing
MINDFLUX:
DEAD MAN WALKING
What is MINDFLUX: Dead man walking
MINDFLUX: Dead Man Walking is a 3rd person roleplaying game where you attempt to deduce the hidden nature of those around you in order to solve heinous crimes. As a creature with a heavily modified brain, you can change your own personality at will based on how people behave in order to discover hidden truths.
MINDFLUX runs on a custom roleplaying system called Cascade, in which narrative decisions made do not rely upon dice rolls or rng in any way. Rather, the player will be forced to make tactical decisions based on the personalities of those they interact with in The Rusted Future.
Play as a living computer
Take control of Ambrose, a criminal investigator and member of the Cerebroid race, known for their mechanical minds and artificial personalities. During a time of war, Ambrose is sent to a military camp to find and capture a ravenous killer. What starts as just another job spirals into entropy as the truth reveals itself.
A Diceless rpg system
There are no dice rolls in MINDFLUX.
The effectiveness of dialogue decisions is based on the personality of who you are talking to. One could be leery of authority and react poorly to bureaucratic talk, or is weak of mind and is easily manipulated with mentalist trickery. It's up to you to discover who they are and alter yourself accordingly.
complex multi-path storytelling
Every choice matters and can lead to vastly different outcomes. Not all can be experienced in one playthrough. Characters may live or die. Some may fall or rise to power. You may betray or be betrayed, save or be saved, kill or be killed. In the morally gray world of the Rusted Future, many possibilities remain unforeseen.
ThE WORLD OF
THE RUSTED FUTURE
The year is 3620. Earth succumbs to the Creeping Frost. What remains is the worst of humanity, forced together by unnatural flooding to an island known as Dura. Five factions rise. Each sifts through the rusted carcass of the Old World, searching for a way to resuscitate humanity. Forced to work together by necessity, fragile alliances threaten to shatter as secret plans are put into motion. Overwhelming threats loom. Chaos beckons. Time is running short.
The Rusted Future erodes all.
