Unironically have been using this to help with my insomnia and go to sleep. 10/10 I feel so sleepy and relaxed afterwards. I would love a moteless mode if that’s possible so you can just fully vibe out without thinking
Very good trance, I can't normally get there without closing my eyes but this gave me just enough to focus on to let my brain shut off despite my eyes being open
i was very intrigued by it and gave it a shot. I don't know if it it's normal, but I can't maintain focus while getting motes, I think it requires me to think too much xD. i'm usually not at all receptive but I do think i'll be able to get a trance out of it eventually
if I could recommend something it's be a full screen mode and a way to disable motes if i'm not using them?
That was fun! I've learned the kind of trance the rhythm part of my brain does is both a very active trance and very different from the kind of trance this game wanted me to have. I'm curious if the game recognizes rhythms other than 4/4.
incredible experience, fell so deep so easily :3 thank you!!
one slight hiccup though: if your finger gets too heavy and you hold down space, it makes the game go super duper fast... being blasted by the induction at turbo speed felt really nice, but it feels potentially unintended xd
i don't know if im doing something wrong, but the first time i booted the game the motes came just fine, but i had my keys set incorrectly. after resetting the game and changing my keys, every subsequent play never sent a single mote, and it frustrated me and completely took me out of the experience once i noticed i wasn't getting any further in the induction and was only getting the "sweet nothings" as they're called :(
Could you make a mobile version or add mobile support if possible? I’m curious about this game since I’ve been seeing it’s really effective with people but I use a phone.
Oh wow, Everytime I get to the "blink" part, the tunnel gets seared into my eyes for a second, and after the induction ends and the "back to menu/again" buttons appear, it all seems to zoom out. @w@ I need moooreeee
Who knows. People who aren't in a particular space tend to not understand it, and in turn try to disqualify it because they feel that something they don't understand is something that can harm them. Or something, it's probably not that gleep and they're just being mean
i genuinely dont remember playing most of this but i IMEDIATELY shared this with my partner and w o w what a head rush, must have been a great game!! 10?/10, no notes :3
This game is really cool! It's the closest I've ever gotten to actually being hypnotized. I felt pleasantly relaxed and had a sort of brain fog afterwards. I will say, for whatever reason having to catch the motes instead of just matching the rhythm broke the visual illusion for me and seemed to lessen the trance state. I would love it if there was a toggle to turn it off, but maybe it's important, I don't know a lot about hypnosis.
I love this game in concept, and I enjoyed playing it, but it was really hard to tell if I was doing it "right"...am I supposed to hit the space bar when the dot is at its largest? That seemed right, but the falling orbs were really confusing - did I want to get them to fall in the center? Sometimes it felt like they just randomly veered off to the side...it might be nice to add a brief "tutorial" section where you get told directly if you're hitting the right buttons or not. Either way, lovely game!! I am excited to come back to it and completely lose track of time again.
Feedback: obeyed and stopped at the "try to stop" instruction, then the "you can't, can you" immediately following felt contradictory and took me out of it for the rest of the script.
this was really cool! but i felt a little scared at the drop: she said let go of everything and i didn’t know if that included the rhythm game and leaning controls too! and so i let my arms drop off the keyboard and my eyes close. and then nothing happened, and i opened my eyes and the game had gone back to its start state. is that the end of the game? i don’t want to be doing it wrong,,
This was really good! It's the sort of thing I feel inclined (compelled, one might say) to return to and get better at. I think on your Tumblr you asked about people paying for a longer version, I definitely would.
It looks really good! Sadly I wasn't able to keep playing it after the drop because (I think) the timing is too tight on the beats for me to be able to execute it (I'm dyspraxic). Would it be possible to add some option to make the timings easier/a no fail mode? I'm trying my best!
this one has played a few times and very much enjoyed it! its an excellent way to spend a few moments here and there,,, it wonders about the likelyhood of changing the settings or inductions for personal use or play.
FWIW - Firefox audio performance/timing is pretty rough. I don't think there's a way around this, so it might be worth adding one of those annoying "best experienced in Chrome" disclaimers.
very well made experience, although i did have a few things to point out that i felt lessened the trance in some way - the breathing instructions and collection gameplay not being synced to the beat felt like a missed opportunity (when i play traditional rhythm games i usually find focusing on hitting notes to the beat is very close to trance on its own) - reading the transcript it seems like most of the induction didn't play for me (playing on firefox if this is a bug) including basically all of the actual suggestions which look really hot.. the "good doll" ensured i'm leaking afterward anyway but yknow
"huh i wonder why it's called zoneout" i have no idea how much time passed and didn't realize i was zoned out until i woke back up - this was delightful

unfortunately did not work on me, but ill try it again later tonight in a dark room

i'd LOVE to be able to input our own [identity] label. i was excited to be a good bunny :(
i fell into it really easily, after it stopped i kept clicking the tempo for like 5 minutes until i snapped out of it
i don't know if im doing something wrong, but the first time i booted the game the motes came just fine, but i had my keys set incorrectly. after resetting the game and changing my keys, every subsequent play never sent a single mote, and it frustrated me and completely took me out of the experience once i noticed i wasn't getting any further in the induction and was only getting the "sweet nothings" as they're called :(
i fixed it :D

did it. why is my vision double now
I was very entranced playing this, took me a while to resurface even after counting up. Very fun, sent to bf!!!
my head hurts i don't think it fully worked
edit: i'll try again in a bit
yeah so i think i fell into the trance just as it ended lol
This has helped me understand that trance dosn't need to feel like I am lead. didn't really realize I had fallen under till the end.
Genuinely the best hypnosis experience I've had. Spectacular, will play again
very very good
Oh wow, Everytime I get to the "blink" part, the tunnel gets seared into my eyes for a second, and after the induction ends and the "back to menu/again" buttons appear, it all seems to zoom out. @w@ I need moooreeee
I feel like a game like this would be fire in vr :3
Love the myriad fake comments. Love to see it. Nothing like faking delusion to pretend to feel something.
...What?

guhhh... Holy moly, this game made me feel things...
I think I've learned something about myself, stumbling randomly upon this.
this actually worked insanely well on me- I can't wait for a full version or maybe a one handed one....for no reason in particular...

oh that was lovely. Like a spa day for my brain. Thank you 💖
this one liked it
AWESOMEEEE thank you so much we had such a good time

Realize now I wasn't hitting the space bar fast enough in the beginning lmao. Once I got it working it was a great time - thank you for this!
:) i appreciate you coming back for a second go and hope you enjoyed it

hehehehehe
had the same issue. woops.
Practice my usually terrible rythm and being called good boy is everything to me. i love this game
This is so rad! Are there any plans to allow for custom inductions or player identities?
also: it would be nice to have a completely neutral praise indicator. like good [job] maybe?
agreed! (also, did not expect to find you here [not specific to this game, itch comments in general. internet's a big place])

HAHAHA i am so sorry that is a failure state i did not consider. i will rewrite the script a little later tonight.
,,>_<
You should tag this with psychological horror
can i ask why?
of course.
probably because of the sudden sense of "oh no, i lost control of my body". it can be frigthening for some people (not for me, i'm so in for it)

very nice though yay for dolls setting <33333
can you make a downloadable version? i'd love to be able to play this offline
Thanks for the shout out! :) Fun stuff
FWIW - Firefox audio performance/timing is pretty rough. I don't think there's a way around this, so it might be worth adding one of those annoying "best experienced in Chrome" disclaimers.
Thank you for the resources :)

Thank you for the feedback, I will work on it.
much better after the patch @w@ awawawa
I am glad you enjoyed. Do you have anything in particular to say besides awawawa?
"huh i wonder why it's called zoneout" i have no idea how much time passed and didn't realize i was zoned out until i woke back up - this was delightful
