The Priestess' Mindsweeper
A short logic game based on Minesweeper, but with a twist! Instead of avoiding bombs (in this case, memories), you have to find them in as few steps as possible. The game has 12 levels (including the tutorial) with memory placement randomized each time you play.
The setting and theme of the game are loosely inspired by Ninomae Ina'nis' song 『MECONOPSIS』 and her official backstory/lore.
As a priestess of the Ancient Ones, Ina finds herself bombarded by mysterious voices echoing from the depths of infinity. These voices can sometimes creep into her mind and obscure some of her memories. To counteract this, she sacrifices a fragment of her sanity to create you, an ethereal being she calls the 'Mindsweeper'.
This game was originally made for HoloJam 5 with 'Corruption' as the theme.
(v1.2 Post Jam Update) The current version is the polished form of the original Jam submission. All changes made to the jam version are listed in the development log below.

This was such a cool game. The unique twist on the minesweeper formula, captivating visuals, very lofi atmosphere and chilling (ina good way) story all come together to create a fantastically coherent game with a lot of charm. Great work!
Was so fun! Liked the story and the idea of recovering the memories. And the art was so nice
Cool game idea! I am a huge fan of the art cover!
This is minor, but i found the diagonal movement sometimes to be a bit hard to do
Thank you! I also agree that the diagonal movement is a bit tricky. Actually I'm reworking the whole movement controls for the next update!
Very original and fun idea! I really liked the visuals, very clean.
But there's a bug where you can still move and beat the level after loosing and revealing the map (speedrun strats?)
Thank you for pointing out this bug! Yep, it IS a bug (lol)
It will be in the hotfix coming soon.
Awesome! Glad I could help
