Bound by their blades, the cycle of power starts anew.

What is MindCleaver?

"Villages grow, factions rise, banditry finds a fresh start, and dragons begin their hunt... The Mindguard's powers will weave into the social fabrics of their being, contorting a reformed world."

MindCleaver is a book adaptation set in an old-magic fantasy world where every character thinks, feels, and acts on its own. As a wizard whose immortal essence is bound to a blade, you enter a living world, and begin to twist the minds inside it.

Shift the personalities of those around you between bravery, fear, agony, kindness, and pleasure. Watch alliances tremble, leaders fall, and communities transform based on what you have done to the minds inside them.

Within this world, you compete against other Mindguard, whose power's rival your own. Trapped in this infinite cycle of rebirth they have shed their mortal cares for the world, staunch and prideful with power they seek to make these lands under their bidding.

Should the world become their palace, an eternal damnation awaits you...

The World

Dragon Guard Mindguard

Behind the Story

Some time ago, my father passed away and wrote the Mindguard series. I wanted to pass that memory down to my son, so this game is based on the ritual a Mindguard from the series performed.

When a Mindguard became powerful enough, they could trap their essence into a blade in order to live on forever...The player, and the antagonists, are these Mindguard. Their blades scattered across the world.

MindCleaver is currently in Mid Alpha — a playable build is live on Steam. The game is built with Godot (C#) and targets a 2028 Q1 release.
