- Ah yes surprising meditative! I was surprised how addictive this gameplay was. Great VO! I type for a living so it kind of put me at ease knowing that I wouldn't be punished for mistyping. Love the banter of positive messages to add to your consciousness and journey. Be cool to hear typed words spoken even if robotic. Maybe play some subtle background imagery or abstract background visuals to support the progress. Really, honestly wonderful game and would love to play more and chill playing this after a long day's work.

Wow.. that hit the concept on the head. Definitely love the idea, quite a lot actually. I think this would be made into a 'Serious" type of game that can actually help people out with stress. Love it. The only thing honestly is the visual, having something else that can be calming would be nice, change of backgrounds when you get to a certain point or circle scaling up and down when you get to the breathing part, etc.
Thanks this was pleasant!
Thanks! Yeah, I like to stick it to the man where art is concerned, really put a ton of effort into the sound and music so the judges feel bad about giving me a 1 on visual design and no credit at all for all the audio work.
Lol, yeah I can definitely understand that. But the rest of the game and the concept is wonderful. I enjoy the VO when you type and have the relaxing music and the "genuine connection to another human" or wasting lots of money on things I don't need..... I think I've been brainwash.. HA! nice.
This was... well not what I expected it to be, but in posivie way. Truly calming experience, but when you start looking under it you spot the cynical/mysterious edge to it. It is something I haven't seen for a while, and I think you could develop onto it.
Great to hear! Thank you! The original idea was for a portal-like "escape the system" concept, but I decided to scope it down into just a long form joke about a mildly-incompetent meditation app developer. Maybe someday!
When I was playing it I though there is some sinister vibe to it, like you are part of an evil experiment, but nobody is telling you that
In this version it's just capitalism :D
I really did feel calm meditation playing this lol. It took a minute to break my habit of automatically hitting backspace when I knew I messed up and to hold shift for caps, but it did feel relaxing.
I know right? I was really surprised when I was making it, I was just joking around and then it worked. Brains are weird. :)
I think this fits the theme very well and I like the bizarre twist you added to it. I love the strange narrative and how the player gets involved by just typing along. Maybe the visuals could use some polishing, but I also think they add to the strangeness in a way. This was very amusing to play, nice work :)
Hahaha, thank you for appreciating my weird content!
very cool, great job
Thanks! If you don't mind the typing, I hope you check out the various guided meditation things, there's _so much content_. :)
