What makes MentalDeload different

MentalDeload puzzle games are designed for quiet, focused play. They avoid pressure mechanics where possible and prioritize a calm, respectful experience.

• No advertising of any kind
• No account required
• No push notifications
• No unnecessary distractions or engagement loops
• No timers pressuring you to act quickly

The games are meant to be enjoyable without trying to keep you trapped. Some apps may include optional Premium content, but the core experience remains calm and complete without it.

Privacy and offline play

MentalDeload apps are designed to work offline for normal play. No internet connection is required during gameplay.

• Game state, settings, statistics, and progress are stored locally on your device where applicable
• No account is required
• No advertising profile is created
• No push-notification engagement loops
• No analytics or tracking

Internet may be needed for Google Play purchase handling, restoring Premium, installation, or platform-level services provided by Android.

Uninstalling an app may remove local progress unless Android device backup restores it.

For full details, see the Privacy Policy.

Premium

Premium is an optional one-time purchase that supports continued development. It is not a subscription.

Depending on the app, Premium may unlock additional Atmospheres, puzzle sets, boards, or comfort features. The specifics vary by game.

• Purchases are handled by Google Play
• Internet is required for purchase and restore
• Prices may differ by country because Google Play handles local pricing and taxes

Use the app's Premium screen to check or restore your purchase where available. If a restore does not appear to work, ensure you are signed into the same Google account used for the original purchase.

Premium unlocks are per-app. A purchase in one MentalDeload game does not automatically unlock Premium in another.

Paths

Paths are curated sequences of puzzles or stages. They give players a gentle structure without competitive pressure.

• Each Path is a guided journey through a series of puzzles
• Stages can be replayed where supported
• Progress is saved locally
• Paths are different from Free Play or randomly generated puzzles

The goal is calm progression. There is no punishment for taking your time or returning to earlier stages.

Solve Later

In Paths, some apps allow a stage to be left for later. This is not a failure state.

The stage remains visible as unfinished or partially completed. The next stage can become available so you can continue the Path without being blocked.

You can return to the deferred stage at any time and complete it at your own pace.

This feature is available where supported by the app.

Free Play and unfinished puzzles

Free Play is for playing outside curated Paths. Depending on the game, puzzles may be generated or selected from a broader set.

• Some games save unfinished puzzles locally so they can be resumed later
• Generated puzzles may differ from hand-curated Path puzzles in style or difficulty

Where available, especially enjoyable puzzles may be saved to a local library for replaying later.

Atmospheres

Atmospheres are visual presentation styles that change the look and feel of a game. They can affect background, board appearance, tiles, contrast, and overall mood.

• Atmospheres do not change puzzle rules or difficulty
• Some Atmospheres may be part of Premium
• Players can choose the Atmosphere that feels most comfortable and readable

Think of Atmospheres as calm visual profiles rather than cosmetic skins. They are designed to support different moods and preferences for focused play.

Zen Mode

Zen Mode reduces visible interface elements so the puzzle can take center stage. It may hide the top bar, status information, or other UI elements depending on the app.

• Progress is not lost by entering or leaving Zen Mode
• Zen Mode does not change the puzzle rules or difficulty
• All puzzle functionality remains available

To leave Zen Mode, use the visible close or menu button, or open the settings menu, depending on the app. The exact control varies by game.

Undo, restart, and hints

Undo and restart are meant to support relaxed experimentation. Restarting a puzzle is not a punishment — it is simply a fresh start.

• Undo lets you step back without consequence
• Restart returns the puzzle to its initial state
• Hints are optional where available

Hint behavior may differ by game. Some games may not need hints or may use a different assistance approach. The shared idea is to help without pressure.

Statistics and local progress

Statistics are for personal reflection, not competition. There are no global rankings by default.

• Possible statistics include solved puzzles, moves, time, boards, paths, or general progress
• The specific statistics available depend on the app
• Statistics are stored locally on the device

Deleting or reinstalling the app may remove local statistics unless device backup restores them.

Interactive tutorials

Tutorials are optional guided introductions that teach interaction step by step. They are meant to reduce confusion, not test the player.

• Tutorials can be replayed where available
• They cover basic mechanics and controls
• Game-specific rules are explained inside each app

If you are unsure how a particular puzzle type works, look for a tutorial or help option within that app.

Game-specific help

Each MentalDeload app has its own rules and features. Detailed help for individual games is available below.
