About Mind and Magic:
You're a young adult with not much luck in life. After your father dissapeared taking your mother with him, you had a really hard time keeping yourself alive. You got the chance to move to a small town aside from the city, and after hearing some rumors about strange things happening, you got convinced to go investigate.
There was more than you thought and you got new abilities that you'll use to hypnotize all the girls you want. You'll be able to discover the world you're in while getting better at magic, and getting more girls under your control.

I really enjoy this game and I hope it continues it is one of my favorite itch games.
Below are some questions I have.
I hope you expand on who Vanessa is, and what exactly she bailed the protagonist out of?
If I understand the magic system correctly mana could be crystallized to make those crystals the elf gave the protag, so would it be possible to make a crystal and give it to the gives to make them weaker to the protags magic?
Like how if you leave a rock in a humid environment the rock absorbs the water.
Hi, thanks for liking the game! The game will continue in developement for quite a while, so worry not about that.
As for your questions, nice, I enjoy taking these more lore based. Here are my answers:>Vanessa is Alice's mother, it's a bit implicit but I'm not really sure well I managed to convey that, her relationship with the MC will be explained when she's added to the game
>Technically, yes, making a crystal out of the MC's spell would serve somewhat the same as applying continuous hypnosis; thing is, it'd be a watered down version of the gadgets, basically serving only for girls that are already controllable, and considering that the MC doesn't really know how to make those, it's a really inefficient method (even more after getting either the chip or the pendulum).
What a....sudden information you came up with though
when will the next update b
From his patreon, it is expected for us to have a preview on his work in October for 0.11 version if i understood correctly. Just a preview tho, not the update, and i presume it'll also be only avaible for patreon to read for some time
I'm possibly soft locked, I'm doing the mine section and i finished the bat stage but was left with 1 hp and now i cant purposely hit myself to get out anyway i could fix this without starting a new game? and now i did not create multiple saves
You can walk the way back. I recommend you to save beforehand. I also recommend to always safe before doing a quest.
Hey, so I'm kind of stuck. The quest logs say I need 'control points' for Liz, Bea, and Alice, but I have no clue how to get them. Any help?
Just repeat any events with the "Give her a command" option, sessions give you the most, so I recommend those for farming.
Dude thx a lot also really enjoying the game keep up the good work :)
Thanks! I'm really glad to hear that :D
Will there be a version for Android devices in the future?
Joiplay works for it for the time being.
can you pls just remove like half the employee's on that one mini game where you need to acquire 4 blueprint's cuz for some reason they see me though the walls and when I get teleported back another spots me before I even move because it thinks i'm still in that same spot its very annoying p-q
If you keep getting caught you can skip
Sorry for the inconvenience, but yesm you can skip after a few times. I'm gonna fix that in the huge code overhaul I'm working on, it'll take a while tho.
thx Axl i rly appreciate the work your putting into the game and the fact that you actually listen to you players means a lot to me most of the games i play that are online just care about what the top players want -_- any who thx! :)
it's a nice game, I hope you can bring the development to release, I'm just starting to make games, I'm trying to analyze in different games where and what should be stored, can you please tell me where you keep the texts of the dialogues
I have no idea how the game engine works, sorry :p
it says theres no compatable downloads when I try to install the game. Can you not play on Windows?
You can play on win, mac and Linux. Dont listen to itch, just download the zip
innocent question, are there possibilities of a Spanish version in the future? Even though I know English, sometimes it's not the most comfortable thing to do
Actually, I speak Spanish; but translations are too expensive (both in time and money). So for the short and middle term, no, I don't think so.
when will the next update be？
No specific date, rn busy with collab stuff.
Cómo puedo instalar el juego en android?? No logro encontrar el archivo apk y no le se al .ZIP :'(
ayudaaaa
No hay port oficial para Android, pero Joiplay funciona bien hasta donde se :p
How do I transfer the game save file from Mac? Whats the name of the file, because I dont see anything under “save"
Axl help pls, whats the save file name
Sorry, kinda forgot to respond; but I'll be honest, I have no idea how the Mac port works so I can't really help there, maybe just extract the new version on the old one (?)
I just go this problem where I tried to deepen my control on bea and the game just blacked out, I couldn't see anything. I tried many things but nothing works and I am really annoyed about starting again but I do like this game so I will start when this is fixed.
Pretty buggy and I didn't like the story much. I might be dumb but the way I was going about it was way too time wasting to up my control with the two characters I could (Alice and Liz). I think there was supposed to be more characters but my quests got bricked up. The game seems promising but I think I was unlucky with the bugs and personally didn't like how the story progressed, especially with Liz's one way route to GAME OVER. While the dialogue was going through and there was darkness I was crashing out bcs my save was 20 mins back so I just saw Game over and uninstalled. Pretty nice project for itch but my experience was unlucky and I don't have any time to waste so I am irritated pretty easilly when the story goes bad(for me). Hope you make this game what you envisioned and good luck on the project.
Yo Btw there are a few bugs, here are listed:
- In the mission "Advanced Magic (II)", if you choose "I'm more interested in those tips" between the 2 options, at the end of the whole dialogue the image of The Bro (and for bro I mean the image of the main character) will remain stuck on the screen forever.
- If you perform the mission "Advanced Magic (II)" in early morning, during the mission you will see Liz duplicated (One sleeping on the chair and one talking while being in front of you).
- If you manage to edit the .rpgsave gamefile and put any variable (Like for example a control over someone) over 100, the game will bug and will spam the message "You have reached the maximun for this girl". It will spam the message forever.
- This one is not really a bug but I will wirte it anyway. If you have a speed lower than x2 it's impossible to pass the guard quest. I did it in x4, it's probably possible to do it in x2 too, but It's impossible to perform in x1. Maybe adding an option for boost the speed during that quest would be functional.
Yea that all 🗣️
Okay, just noted all of these down, gonna go and try to fix them; thanks for reporting!
I have to be honest, so far so good, really good game, I'm not that type of person that comments or post reviews, but this game deserve it. It's long enough, pretty chill and fun for pass the time, it have a good story and it get updated time to time, I would like to support it but I currently can't tip, but I will as soon as I have the possibility. You should implement stuff like a language menù, a sprint key, so that the character can walk and run instead of have 1 costant speed and maybe create a discord server. I wanted to contact the creator but I can't find anything for DM him. Anyway, keep working on it, it's a really good game
Thanks for liking the game! You necessarily don't have to monetarily support the game, maybe try recommending it to a friend or something of the sort if you really want to.
Thanks for your feedback!
If you try and deepen your control over Bree for the Controlling Bree 2 quest while Bree is standing in front of the vending machine it fades to black indefinitely.
Noted, sorry for the inconvenience.
I'm currently facing the same issue except I saved right before that point and now I am stuck infinitely in the black
Everytime I finish "The mysterious girl" quest and go to the facility, I am immediately teleported to my house and it becomes day again. Then the "knowing the facility" quest gets soft locked since it tells me to interact with my bed and nothing happens.
What can I do to fix this?
Interact with the lower part of the bed, if that's not working for some reason, I'll check it out.
That did the thing! thank you.
I genuinely tried to get past the guards, but I couldn't no matter how hard i tried. Thankfully there was an option to skip after the game realized that I'm unable to do so. this is a really great feature that allowed me, and probably many more who either don't have the skill or have a potato pc, to continue playing a game that I otherwise would have had to abandon.
Why isn't this the case with the bats?
Why does the game suddenly, instead of helping me get past a section I clearly don't have the reaction-time for, hand out a "Game Over"?
The first time this happened I lost about an hour of progress (which is sort of my bad for not saving enough). And I have been sitting here, trying to get past that one bat on crack, for over two hours now.
I love the entire rest of the game and would love to continue playing it, but please throw me a bone.
Is there some secret Item or debug or anything that can help me? Or if there isn't, can you please make it skippable like the guards-section or at least a lot easier?
Well, for the bats the reason is: I keep forgetting to do it since the complains about that one aren't as frequent; I'm already adding one for that as well as debugging the skip for the guards. For now maybe save scumming can help until I add the skip, but then again: Sorry for the inconvenience.
Glad to see you're enjoying everything else, I'm already working on a overhaul for the game's code so this and other issues with it don't happen anymore (but that one will take some time...), for now I'll have to patch it, so thanks for letting me know!
yo how do you skip for the guard? that one was actually hard, lucky for me i was on 4x so not much problem but what if i cant?
Every 10th time you failed you get asked if you would like to skip the section.
how do you advance with the liz quest? im stuck with getting high calories food
Go to the shop in the hometown and talk to the shopkeeper inside.
yea i was pressing ctrl to speedrun the game then the game glitched, i cant progress furthermore on liz path
Android version?
Joiplay works for it
im softlocked in this room because i messed up the puzzle, is there someone here who can help me?
Going in and out of the room should reset, careful with blocking your way out tho, you can softlock yourself :p
i cant get out of the room anymore
Oh, didn't notice in the pic; yeah, you're softlocked :p
Solid update. Though there's a bug with Bea's memory room, where if you finish the new content and then enter it, you're stuck in a loop of the scene replaying.
Oh, didn't know about that one, thanks!
Show post...
Spanish?
Eso no vende :p
Show post...
:'(
Is there a way to get myself unstuck from the bat section of the ore quest or will I have to restart
If you mean as in if there's a skip, there currently isn't; I'm gonna add one for next update. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Do you plan anything for the Cyrillia plot?
As in her appearing more, yes; as in giving her some ero scenes, also yes... but this one will take some time xD
When is the next public update?
In around 7-9 days
Nice! Can't wait!
Any way to skip the minigame for the guards to get the blueprint their wallhacks are starting to get to me
Losing 10 times gives you skip, sorry for the inconvenience.
Good game, might paypal when I stop relying on instant noddles to survive
Thanks! Don't feel forced to do it if you can't, recommending to people is more than enough xD
Where is the save file located?
"Game's folder" > "www" > Then copy the "save" folder into the same place in new version, sometimes you'll need to use the bugfix to solve any compatibility issues.
Thank you.
how do i get the head pat see.
Talk to Alice at afternoon and play videogames with her to raise her friendship, at 5 or 10 you should be able to do headpats by selecting "Actions" when talking to her.
Will there be impreg?
If you mean as in pregnancy, probably not.
Got it!
Any news so far?
Beta should be out tomorrow.
Hi, will you make an apk in the future or just for comp?
For Android just use JoiPLay, I've heard it works quite well.
bruh... that mini-challenge to get 3 ores, that bat-things or spidey-things(theyre too fast, i cant even understand) are very very fast bro, its too hard. any ways to skip this? i died already around 4 times only on them.
When is the next update?
full save? :3
I don't think I have one, not even for testing stuff xD
how does one get control points?
Just use any mind control scenes when talking to the girls (sessions give you the most, so I recommend those for farming).
i thank you for the help with this i was able to complete the game i think it is really good, although i just wish i could do more and talk a bit more rather than do the same thing but others have said this, so i shall say something else, getting control points is unknown to the player and there is no way to tell how many you have that might be something to get.
i pretty much liked all of the stuff in it most of my critics are "the game is very limited, not much can be done, no real option to do stuff" but that is to be expected with a very beta game like this.
For control points, you can press "P" at any time to see it, maybe I'll make it more clear next update.
As for friendship (?) events and variety, I have them planned and I want to do it but currently the game's code is trash (even after already being remade 1-2 times), and it'll most likely break if I try to add more stuff. That's why I'm working on an overhaul/remake in parallel with normal updates, it'll be a while until that's done though :p
Ahh, quite a lot of work((
But, tbf, i'd say that making updates an overhaul at the same time isn't very wise thing to do, as updates will have to be remade further aswell, but whatever you see fit, not like im capable of real help there....
Yeah, I know it's not the best thing to do but I've abandoned the art of disappearing for months until I have enough content, since I feel like it's stealing money from patrons.
Should be fine though, been working on this for a while and have made good progress, if I ever feel like I need to dedicate exclusively to it, I'll do that.
how can I get the pendulum?
It's given as a sidequest as soon as you unlock the facility
good game bro, good luck in your game and I hope you can get more updates👍
Thanks, and unless I make a post saying I'll leave the game, another update will always be on the way xD
Good bro
Should have just accepted skipin guard mini game for the blueprints, those ppl have X-ray that go through walls xD, though really hard still doable.
The skip thing repeats after another 10 times, but I know what you mean xD
Sorry for the inconvenience!
