Despite its winning concept, all the comic homages, and the solidly executed gameplay, Rise & Shine goes out on a decidedly abrupt and anticlimactic note. In a way, it seems as if the developers got up and stretched but ultimately decided to go back to sleep.

Still, even with a few chapter-reset-necessitating bugs scattered here and there (to be expected of a one-man project, really), there's nothing game-breaking in Mind. Instead, there's just an ever-surprising and scintillating series of mind-breaking visuals, from illusory architecture (in which the shadows never lie) to jagged frozen ponds, waves frozen mid-crest, and haunting hospitals that jut into the cloudy sky like an infinite middle finger. If this is what the protagonist's world looks like, no wonder he hasn't yet woken up from his coma.
