This was so incredible, so relatable I cried. Both routes were so well done, and the UI is impeccable!!!

holy wow was this game so good, and unfortunately so relatable. The anxiety that mc feels hits too close to home, i almost felt like crying haha! 

The va's did a wonderful job, they both knocked it out of the park with this one. And, I was shocked to hear a familiar voice to be Noah Keawekane!!

This was absolutely amazing, and so well done!

both times i played through this.. this game made me cry more times that i would like to admit- it describing geist's touch as cold is so accurate and the way i can relate to the mc way too much.

 i still don't know how to feel about geist.. he seems like the perfect image of an manipulative narcissistic boyfriend, but that is what i love in him- he is.. accurate? 

yes he is cold and mean and sometimes heartless but still comforting.. maybe i just feel this way cause i suffer from social anxiety and have had few bad relationships but i think all the characters are done very well. 

absolutely amazing work!

as a hawaiian, got so starstruck seeing so many things so close to home :)) had so much fun playing 

I just finished playing. I can only say... WOW. 

Tbh I took the tw lightly. I didn't expect to experience an anxiety simulator haha. MC is really relatable - sometimes too relatable for my comfort. Which means you did an amazing job with creating these characters. I hated Geist with all of my heart (although he looks so cute ;-;)
For now, I took the 'happy' route. I think I will try the Geist route but I need to take a breather. This game is really, really intense.

I absolutely adore Kalei. He is such a comfort person, a true human puppy. He even sounds like sunshine. Just LOVE him.  The voice actors did an amazing job btw. Insults in a british accent just hit different. 

Great game, thanks! :)

I just finished playing and I loved the game! A friend recommended it to me and, since I had it in my mind(mindmind) to play eventually, I thought I'd give it a try.

First of all, man, I wanted to beat up Geist every time he appeared! He's gorgeous and his voice is so smooth, but his words are venomous and they really make me think of my anxiety. I think that was intended? He truly feels like those horrible thoughts you may have about yourself, but with a human form. I even started thinking maybe I could picture him when I'm having those kinda thoughts to realize that those thoughts are not me, it's just this silly british ghost man trying to make me feel bad!

Jokes aside, though, I really enjoyed how he was written, I really felt a lot playing this.

Now, Kalei. I love him so much... he's so beautiful and sweet and I need one shipped to my house by tomorrow (joke). I loved how passionate he was about films, and being a film major myself you know that added to my love for him. Gosh he's such a lovable character- I liked seeing that he was also unsure or nervous about things sometimes, all his facets are precious.

I have to thank you for writing this, because it really got me thinking about anxiety AND gave me a precious husbando. So thank you!

this british twink is my no.1 opp istg

i only did geists route so far (and im just abt to start kaleis) and its actually so incredibly insane how relatable this is , like the way geist talks and the thoughts the mc have are so similar if not the exact same to thoughts ive had , and how the mc gets in social situations (esp with large crowds) is so real bro , anyways i think this is a rlly good representation and depiction of social anxiety and how some people struggle w/ it as some1 that also has it. i literally love this smm , i dont think ive ever come across any games/media that have this good of a representation of social anxeity , you did amazing on thisss ! and i cant wait to play kaleis route <3

this was such good writing Geist made me qestion myself in making chooses thats how i know he was played well such a good game i really recomend it!!

Okay, i already fangirl about the writting, nows time for the art ( •̀ .̫ •́ )✧. If i had to talk and praise something out of everything in this game it's gotta be the sprites, i know how difficult it it's to try and do a sprite for a lot of emotions but the simple way that is handle with simple yet very pretty style makes it pop out and easy to diggest for anyone that plays. The little details like Geist having a eye neckless and that same neckless being the one thing you used to save your file and/or load it? Genius, scary and probably was very difficult to do. 

Kalei deserves a whole paragraph, not only he's such a sweetheart that understands and manages situations with a mature and careful aproach he also it's just a little goffball full of a mind filled with interestings topics that need to get taken seriously and the mc it's that part of the puzzle that falls just right on the spot. They complement eacthoter and even if in akward or nervious situations they still manage to just pass through it and that's for me a big green flag.

To put an end to my endless praising, thank you Chattercap for creating such a game. Not only it made me realize a lot of stuff about my anxiaty and the things that come with it, it made me realize how much i should appreciate my own Kalei.

Chattercap, you continue to be amazing. Your animated sprites and CG are always a pleasure to the eye. Your writing and choices are engaging. Love your work!  Kalei is just the sweetest, I love him.  

"i am always 2 steps ahead" ahh voice but british

I love Kalei so much! Especially when I hear him say local slang. His aloha shirt is so pretty too! Much love from Hawai'i <33

Kalei is the cutest sweetest cinnamon roll! Loved his character!

This is your second game that attracted me (the first was "Karamu") and I am in love with your visuals, this "lively" sprites and VA's did such a good job^^ I thought that "MindMindMind" would really be about a yandere ghost or smth like that😂 The result pleasantly surprised me, for me it was unexpected, since I usually don't read warnings.

You described MC thoughts very vividly, unfortunately, there is such a Geist in my life, I hope in one day we will be able to say goodbye😢 Kalei is so cute, from the first seconds I had an association with a golden retriever😂, he is very charming. I really liked both endings, even with Geist I can't call it as "bad" ending, it has its own attraction. I really enjoyed playing this novel, tysm for such a beautiful work <3❤️


English is not my first language, so if it looked too "formal", my apologies😂

I... Unironicly think there is no bad ending. Music and sprites are cozy looking. And Geist is well-writen. Truth be told, most of us have a Geist and this game showed me a good window to socialy anxious people. Good game. 

Slay game! Found myself cringing as well with the character during the awkward parts, I have had a lot of this negative self-talk as an autistic person with pretty bad social anxiety. Getting better everyday though <3

This was such a good depiction of (social) anxiety. I thankfully have not been in a place like that for a couple of years, but some lines sounded just like me during uni 😢 Kalei is a super great friend 💛

Hi so I just wanted to let you know that the game you made is truly amazing like I am so hooked up on the story the characters even the visuals are very well made bravo but the thing is I noticed that the voice of the characters in the game was kind of lagging a bit but it was no problem but when I got at the the choice to eat after the movie with Kalei everything went South the game just I don't know wouldn't work anymore no matter how many times I clicked with my mouse so I decided to reboot my PC by the way I'm playing on Windows not Mac since I noticed that so many people had problems with Mac anywho I relaunched the game but it still wouldn't work and my save files just weren't there so I deleted the game from my PC and redownloaded it again I rebooted my PC and relaunched it but it still wouldn't work and when I tried pressing start it wouldn't work pressing continue won't work load wouldn't work you got the picture so I was so excited to play the game I was in such a bad mood these days and I don't know I kind of relate to the main character so it was helping me a lot and I was so bummed when it wouldn't work anymore so I just hope that you can help me with this issue because I really want to play it it seems like such a cool game you did an amazing job and I hope I'm not bothering you good luck and lots of love to you :3

Hey, I've been having some issues playing the game, I'm a Mac Player and the game just won't launch at all, i tried to install it from the itch.io website and even on steam but it just wont launch, it keep saying that an error has ocurred or that the game unexpectedly closed ( while the game didn't open in the first place. ) The same thing happened when i tried to play Karamu and Kanau- If anyone on Mac could lend me a hand I would really appreciate it :'D

Ahhhhh this game is AMAZING!!!

Kalei's like sunflower, a sunshine boy, always makes me feel happy and safe, he's caring, I'm rly feel like being liked and loved (i do have mental issues so seeing him is truly lucky for me, thx for creating this character<33333

As for Geist, I thought he's a ghost at first lol. ngl I feel chocked by his words but at the scene he said"I love u", ummm it's kinda, idk maybe i just wanna hear this so i choose his end lmao

but don't get me wrong, I'm still team Kalei :)

thx for making this MASTERPIECE!!!

I literally want to punch geist 

I want to hug kalei and I feel quite bad for the mc they don't deserve this lmao- Geist kind of reminds me of a friend I once had, and people like that are terrible. he's a great character- not a great person.

15 minutes later I have decided to do the Geist ending. I HATE HIM EVEN MORE. he is quite literally the living embodiment of self deprecating thoughts except it's just some weird British guy. The things he said to the mc are things ive said to myself- and so has everyone else. AUWDWHIQWDH chatter cap you're so good at writing its not even funnyyyyy!!

This game.. AHHH!!! It is so good, and I cried a little bit. Playing it gave me the courage to message someone who I've only recently started talking to after a few days of not messaging them, so thank you for that. The way anxiety was portrayed here felt so real, I felt queezy myself when we got caught in that crowd outside the library!!

I really love this game a lot, and I think its message is very clear and important. Thank you for making this game, thank you so much :') I want to talk to new people too, and playing this game has encouraged me to at least try to do that.

OMGGG english is not my first language and im afraid that ill mix some words, but i REALLY wanted to say that this game is SO well made!!!

[SPOILERS AHEAD]

ive made all options and the 2 endings, and honestly, i was crying in both...this really touched my heart and it was soo relatable!! The "worst part" for me was the panic attack scene, the background with the ost, the description in there got me so anxious becauses its so REAL.

i liked so much the characters designs and, specially, their voices! Emerges so much in the story and you can feel how much effort they put to make the characters more real yk! totally a 10/10 <3

Kalei's ending, for me, it was how a healing process is after you suffered so much with anxiety, fear, rejection and loneliness. Hes so kind and honest with you, trying to always make you feel comfortable enough and enjoying all the time with you, even if it was a simple thing. For example, the Geist little devolopment at the end was like one of the good consequences of ur healing process with Kalei helps, ur negavity and anxiety just being at a "normal" level, just starting to being healthy.

and Kalei is TOTALLY unlike Geist. Hes like a personification of anxiety itself?? But hes sooo well writen, you KNOW hes trying to manipulate you and tries to play with you with his words, because all the things he says is so terrible but he ALWAYS try to say in the sweetest way in the end at the point you starts to feel so confused about his actions!

The Geist ending brought me two interpretations:

The first one was he being the personification of social anxiety, you locked yourself in a toxic comfort zone and just <want> to believe thats the better option, just wanting to believe that ur happy being so lonely and not trying anything more becauses of the constant feeling of fear.

The other one is he representing a toxic and manipulative relationship, always trying to bringing you down and comforting you with all the sweetest things even if he IS the reason you're hurt, always forcing you to neglect urself and putting him in a pillar of the REAL happiness, the "perfect choice", the "most protective person" and the "most lovely one". At the end, you cant even decides for urself and just live depending on his "distorced love" becauses he made you believe in that.

thats a small detail but i really liked the pronouns options, its kinda of kindness for being inclusive!

Sorry if i said something not understandable, but i tried to show how much i loved this game!! it was a little important to me because made me realize feelings bought by unhelead traumas that i have to work on it, the game shows you how important is to being open with other people and ask for help, even the small conversations can help you! 

Thats It! ill be playing ur others games too, i loved ur writing :)

NO SPOILERS just my take :33

made an account just to give this masterpiece a 5 star review!!!!!!! i love everything about this game. i love how the characters interact with each other, how cute the designs are, and how much love and effort was put ! 

the main idea focuses on not letting your thoughts govern your actions, which stole my heart and attention. this game made me feel so seen, especially how overwhelmingly realistic geist’s lingering whispers were. geist was both comforting and destructive for the main character. his ruinous words kept trying to interfere with our relationship with kalei, only to reassure us that he only does it out of love and to protect us. this really emphasizes the unhealthy relationship between you and your thoughts that stays focused on being something thats still in the future. if you keep worrying about something thats in the future, you’ll miss whats happening around you in the present.

i like the small detail on how overwhelming it can get when you meet new people :) they may seem like they’re out to eat you alive — but really, they’re not so bad once you get to know them properly.

also, can we talk about how ridiculously cute kalei is??????????? the little dude is so passionate about movies!!!! i wanna eat him alive soooo bad >_< this man is so perfect i just wnna keep him in my pocket and bring him everywhere !!!!!!!!!!!!! i wish i got to know more about him in-game and had the option to get to know about his past. either way, i love this game so much , i’ll have to replay this again next year after my bad memory does me good

i love how imperfect everyone is. mary sue characters are so bland, they don’t reflect the true nature of humans. it’s okay to think about these bad thoughts, whats important is how you respond to them! thank you for making this game, it truly was an eye-opener. MC and kalei are SO cute together!!!!! my roman empire <3333333

It's been 84 years

All jokes aside, I'm so glad that I finally got a new PC Laptop to play this game!!! It's been on my backlog forever and I was really looking forward to playing it!! 

Man, where do I even begin. The art is awesome, the music is very fitting and, god, the voice acting is SUPERB.

And don't even get me started about the writing!!! I came to this game almost completely blind. I only knew it was a yandere ghost but I did NOT expect that type of relationship between Geist and MC. It really was like a constant negative voice in your head telling you that you're worthless and many more lies coming from low self-confidence and anxiety... Which is much more terrifying and heartbreaking than I thought because, at the end of the day... our minds try to "protect us" by avoiding everything, sometimes. 

"Avoid everyone and everything and you won't be hurt." Geist is really the personification of negative self-talk with the constant excuse that it all comes from a place of love when, it reality, it comes from a place of fear. Fear of rejection, bear of being embarrassed and shamed, fear of never being able to connect to another person in the way you want.

And when the MC starts to realize that... when they finally realize what's been happening all along... they stand up to Geist. They stand up to their fear, they confront it and decide to be brave and try. Yes, sometimes things won't go well for them, but that doesn't mean that everything will go badly ALL the time either.

I loved MC's relationship with Kalei because they truly complemented each other well, they had similar interests and they made each other feel energized and happy. Even after having some awkward interactions, when Kalei introduced them to their friends, things still ended up going well (cause yeah, sometimes you can have awkward interactions even with good friends!) and man jeksdbgkjb.

I just loved it so much, Chatt, it's an amazing game. I admit I haven't played the bad ending yet, 'cause I didn't want to give Geist the satisfaction of getting to me xD but I want to, sometime! The ending with Kalei was beautiful and I'm happy that he and MC got their happy ending <3

I REALLY LOVED IT! Cute art style, storyline, soundtrack and a very relatable story (wich I'm literally living rn). It's so refreshing seeing a visual novel about stuff that isn't just about dating some guy and that's it, but it adds a really good depths into MC problems. 

And lastly, I liked the contrast between Kalei and Geist palette & style contrast, that matches their personalities.

Ok I'll stop yapping about this little MASTERPIECE.

hihi! I really liked these Karamu and Kanau that you made!! These ones are so good, especially with a animated comic, which made me feel like reading a comic. Not only, your story was good unlike yandere games (I don't hate these ones but I'm really looking forward hihi!) Can't wait to try the mind mind mind game, you have right now.

However, I can't play this cus I don't have laptop ;((. Maybe you could make it available for android? I would be gladly if you will, but I mean, it's fine, since you couldn't do it. I will be waiting for this!! Your games are so good >;33!!

this game is really important in many different ways, and i could talk for a very long time about why i think that. it's not always easy to tell in the moment when you are having overwhelming negative thoughts, but playing this game helped me to look at things from a different perspective. i was able to see how my own negative thinking could be ruining experiences for me before i even get to have them. thinking too much about all the negative things that could happen makes it so much more difficult to pay attention to all of the good things that are actually happening around you. playing this game really helped me to remember that. i have so many more things to say, but that is what made the biggest impression on me. i want to work harder at knowing when i am doing these things from now on.

odio a la rubia estupidaaaaaa

So I got this game through Steam. Originally, I didn't really think much of it since I was trying to find visual novels to build my reading lists. This visual novel has got me through places. I got it mostly because the name of it got my interest. It piqued me due to the fact I love messing with my own Psyche. I didn't realize it wasn't much psychological horror but told through anxious thoughts. 

I can relate to MC when it comes to loud spaces and can't hear your own mind think.  It reminds me of a similar situation I was in a few months ago really, instead of the college setting more so in the bar setting. 

I read this game through and was reminded how much Geist could be the shame wizard from Big Mouth. But Geist can get into your head a lot more later down the line. When MC stands up if you choose to do so. It feels like a good power move.  I think this is one of the better-written stories for a visual novel I have loved. I thought about getting the art book at some point because it was so good.  A lot of what Geist says kind of hinted at my own voices, to say the least, that I usually tend to ignore. 

Not to mention Kalei! Man, I love that man. He actually gonna be one of my fictional boyfriends. Only if I write him into a story.  I love the way Kalei cares for MC and manages to ease their anxiety away by somehow redirecting the conversation or just removing them from large crowds. I just love the fact he was caring and nice. The way he sticks up for MC was nice. While MC still has Geist as their inner voice. It shows that the inner voice will still be there and that's okay.  It's easier to make sure you want to live your life to the fullest without your anxiety taking control over you. I really love it. 

I can't let the gang know I cried while playing this game

I kinda like the ending of kalei more cause somehow i saw geist character development AND also he wont go away? HELL YEAH GOT 2 BOYS now im sitting thinking of what to play next after this masterpiece

SPOILERS!!!

honestly i thought i would like geist more turns out when kalei did this boyy im smitten. sold me 100% i feel like he is now my comfort otome bf

AAAHHHH!! HOW DO U KNOW, IF I WAS IN THE SITUATION AND IM THE SAME CHARACTER AS THE MC I WOULD COUNT PETALS TOO LIKE IDK ITS SUCH A SMALL DETAIL BUT HAVE A BIG MEANING

about the food part where i go with him I picked ramen or the viatnamese food but i always get the same description, like its loco moco

its so deep. i kinda relate to this, really hit like a brick. like its so true it's so fragile. 

I like the way you write it's like im reading a novel or manhwa but otome version, the way you describe things it felt like it's now a new standard to me that i want this kind of otome in every otome I play and thank you for this...
I hope you really do make more otome games. I love the subtle changes of the atmosphere bg like its so subtle you wont be able to notice much... and again the va? FOR FREE and the effects. PLEASE LIVE LONG.

I literally tried to log in as fast as lightning just to comment. But GODDAMN the UI and animation is so fucking smooth and you made it FREE?? As an IT/coding kid this game literally scratched that super duper deep itch at the back of my mind that I literally had a braingasm- I didn't even get past like 6 paragraphs of the game; I just had to comment on the smoothness of everything. My guy really be giving us buttery smooth gameplay for FREE? I- It's so high quality for a free game??? Best one I've seen so far in the otome game/dating sims category (well since most of the free games uses RenPy). But I'm geeking over the design rather than story itself lmaoo- I'm gonna go and continue playing now bye-

I loved the game! I have no words to say how much I am in love with Kalei 🙈💓. I played on PC but it was borrowed from a friend. So if you could consider making your games in Android versions, I would be very happy.

I'm already following you for your next games! ♥️

(PS: I don't speak English, so if some things are written strange, I'm sorry :'D)

Holy smokes what a great game. After playing it I had to just sit there and think it over. Goodness where to begin with the positives? 

I really wasn't expecting to relate so quickly and easily with MC and it's so hard to find games (especially visual novels) that I find myself understanding  and thinking so in-tune with an MC so quickly. 

Love the concept and use of Geist, he's very easy to get drawn into and get caught up in his words, 18+ patch drop when? until a certain point and you feel amazing once you hit that breaking point with him. Also don't think that I would let that Bell Jar reference slip away, I know exactly what you're implying with that and I respect its usage immensely~

Kalei was just wonderful, just a straight up lovely and kind character to perfectly counter balance Geist. He reminds me of the real life people I know and actively get in contact with them.  So thank you for making such a wholesome(?) game, definitely going to check out your other games both the present and future!

Really enjoyed the game! I associated with OP so much with the anxiety that I was mentally telling OP to go to the college's advisor/councilor about this guy (Gheist) if he wasn't a 'virtual' ghost

mc is so relatable but unfortunately my anxiety isn't a blond british man with green eyes 😔

jokes aside, from the voice acting to the visuals this game is just amazing 💌 as someone with anxiety disorder geist's words hit really close to home, and him reading the bell jar?? i loved this detail a lot lol

also kalei has my whole heart, he's so cute omg 😭💖

Will You Release This Game on Android?

This was an amazingly well-done portrayal of social anxiety

It was a bit difficult to get through at points, but well worth the effort
