MindCleaver

Unleashed from your phylactery, burrow hexes deep into the minds of fully simulated NPCs. Watch their thoughts, factions, and armies twist in response as you and your nemesis duel for magical influence over an emergent fantasy world.
Everyone, from the lowliest peasant to the wealthiest king, runs on a real-time engine of behavior, memory, personality and dynamic societal structures. Quests are created, because factions know of your power and want to wield a fraction of it. Wars, hierarchies and plots form with or without your influence.
In this dark, emergent fantasy world, the gears of their minds keep turning until death…or domination.

Your nemesis twists and manipulates the world against you. Their plans and grand designs, head-to-head against your own.

 Mortals, unlike the player, need to survive and structure societal hierarchies around it. Quests are created for accomplishing real goals, not for doing arbitrary chores.

 

Factions are formed freshly from the unique leaders that rule them. Drive your influence with these groups, from waging wars, to igniting rebellion uprisings.

No NPC is free from magical influence. Breach into their minds and enthrall friends and enemies alike.

A special thanks to my father, and the memory of the Mindguard book series he wrote.
