A small department for unusual software
Games that rearrange attention, turn conversation into an artifact, and make reality feel briefly under-documented.
No in-app purchases.
Some out-of-mind experiences.
01 / ON THE SHELF
A store with one thing in it is either extremely confident or slightly premature. We are comfortable with both.
WHAT DIES IS A CERTAINTY.
Two people meet through visual Cards. Meaning builds between them until somebody taps Collapse. Nobody defeats a person. Something less useful dies instead.
02 / STORE POLICY
We do not know. This is the useful part. But the good ones tend to leave fingerprints in the following places.
The player notices the frame, not only the thing inside it.
Software becomes a reason to encounter another person unusually.
The experience cannot be reduced to points, feeds, or productivity.
A question, an image, a laugh—or a suspicion that the rules were looking back.
03 / OPEN CALL
Mind Games Store is being built in public by game designers, artists, engineers, writers, researchers, hosts, tricksters, and people whose useful title has not been invented yet.
Bring a strange mechanic, a half-made ritual, a visual provocation, or the skill that helps someone else ship theirs. We are interested in small teams, playable experiments, and serious craft without solemnity.
Propose a mind gameBring the itch, question, or rule worth testing.
Make the smallest version that can surprise somebody.
Give it a shelf, an audience, and room to become itself.
04 / INTAKE DESK
Finished pitch optional. Useful curiosity required. Tell us about the game, craft, question, or peculiar competence you would bring to the Store.
Average completion time: however long honesty takes.
THE SHELVES ARE MOSTLY EMPTY.
