Is MindsEye Open World?
No, MindsEye is not a true open-world game. Despite early marketing suggesting otherwise, MindsEye is a linear third-person action-adventure game. According to game director Leslie Benzies, the team deliberately avoided an open-world structure to focus on strong storytelling, describing the design as a “faux-pen world.”
The game is set in Redrock City, a large, detailed environment that serves more as atmospheric set dressing than a fully explorable sandbox.
