Mind Over Court

Mind Over Court is an interactive, psychological visual novel where the hardest battle isn't against the rival team—it's against the voice in your own head.

A sudden, devastating accident didn’t just sideline you; it shattered your identity, forcing you to walk away from basketball forever. Looking for a clean slate, you arrive at Silver Valley University ready to leave competition in the past. But healing is never straightforward. When an old friend unexpectedly crosses your path, you are drawn back to the sound of squeaking sneakers, campus politics, and the unresolved trauma lingering under the surface.

Step onto campus, interact with a complex cast of students and athletes, and confront the mental walls keeping you off the court. What begins as an innocent shot at redemption soon spirals into a journey of fierce rivalries, hidden motives, and psychological tension.

Will you rediscover your love for the game, or will the ghosts of your past dictate your future?
