Minds Beneath Us is an adventure about a guy and a data ghost who lived in his head and controlled his body. After society has become fully automated with AI, a new industry has emerged that replaces the hardware needed to operate the internet with linked human brains. As a result, the most disadvantaged of citizens have had no choice but to put in their bid to sign up, one after another. Against the stage of this mad society, a mysterious conspiracy gradually unveils.(Storyline via IGDB)
