Support MindWare

The game stays free. Support decides how fast it grows.

MindWare is free to play and will always remain so. It is made by one person alongside a full-time job, so the time that goes into it is bought directly by the people who support it. If you enjoy the game and want more of it, supporting is the single most useful thing you can do.

What supporters get

Extra Options

An in-game menu with cheats, extra save slots, additional avatar sets, and shortcuts that skip the waiting built into some quests. It unlocks as soon as you sign in.

Content Maps

Browsable visual maps of the game’s storylines, opened from inside the game, showing how scenes branch and connect so you can spot what you have missed. Available on the higher supporter tiers.

Early builds

Supporter betas and release candidates land weeks before the public release, which is where new content is played and reported on first.

Smaller updates

The downloads page offers supporters an incremental update instead of the full archive, which can be tens of megabytes rather than several gigabytes.

How unlocking works

There is no password and nothing to paste. Open Extra Options in the game and sign in with Patreon or SubscribeStar. The game receives a pass that is stored on your own device and stays valid for 30 days, so supporter features keep working even when the server does not, and nothing about your account is kept on my server. Roughly once a month you sign in again to refresh the pass. The details are in the privacy policy.

Supporting is not required to play. The full public release is always free at playmindware.com, with offline builds on the downloads page.
