They’ve also released a teaser trailer for the game alongside the press releaseon Build A Rocket Boy’s official website. Gotta say, based on the trailer alone, I’m already kinda digging it.

The press release on Build A Rocket Boy’s site describes MindsEye as “an epic new blockbuster journey set in a unique world” and promises that you’ll run into “futuristic vehicles and weaponry, corporate and government conspiracies, and sinister new technologies” during the course of your playthrough.

The reception for the new release has been pretty positive too.User Yazzu987on the r/EverywhereGame subreddit stated, “This game is the most confusing thing ever but I love it and can’t wait to see more.”

Now, you’re maybe wondering why I linked a post from the subreddit for the gameEVERYWHEREhere… and that’s probably what’s led to some of the confusion regardingMindsEyeonline.

EVERYWHEREis an MMO that Build A Rocket Boy is also developing alongsideMindsEye.EVERYWHERE’smain selling point is its focus on user-generated content, which has led some to believe thatMindsEyeis set withinEVERYWHERE’sworld.

Unfortunately, neither of the two games actually have release dates so we may have to wait a while to find out if that theory proves to be true.
