What is MINDFLUX: Dead Man Walking?
MINDFLUX: Dead Man Walking is a 1st person roleplaying game where sanity is a pipe dream.
You are Ambrose, a once renowned detective of the Cerebroid race. For decades, your innate brain augmentations once sharpened your mind, but now fail you, taking memory and sanity alike. You awaken at the foot of a strange altar, carrying only your ID and a letter from a doctor who claims to hold the key to your salvation. Unfortunately for you, it seems this doctor has vanished, lost while serving on the front lines of a brutal war and last seen deep within the bowels of an ancient quarry. With your mind unraveling, you must find him before your illness devours what remains of you.
​
Play as a Living Computer
Take control of Ambrose, a criminal investigator and member of the Cerebroid race, known for their mechanical minds and artificial personalities. During a time of war, Ambrose finds himself with a fractured memory deep in the bowels of an ancient quarry. With only a letter to guide him, Ambrose must uncover the whereabouts of the doctor who claims to hold his cure.
A Dice-Less RPG System
Skill checks have no dice rolls in MINDFLUX.
The effectiveness of dialogue decisions is based on the personality of who you are talking to. One could be leery of authority and react poorly to bureaucratic talk, or is weak of mind and is easily manipulated with mentalist trickery. It's up to you to discover who they are and alter yourself accordingly.
Complex Multi-Path Storytelling
Every choice matters and can lead to vastly different outcomes. Not all can be experienced in one playthrough. Characters may live or die. Some may fall or rise to power. You may betray or be betrayed, save or be saved, kill or be killed. In the morally gray world of the Rusted Future, many possibilities remain unforeseen.
