I put in the description this game is not for newcomers . The point of the game isn't to "follow orders", it's suppose to help you relax. I think you went into this game with preconceived notions to what hypnosis was, overthought it and it didn't work because you thought hypnosis is being forced to do something when it's not, It's more like meditation. I would probably play my other games which are for newcomers, Lavlabs and Hypnoticaquest are better for that. Or if you prefer meditation, Medivination is another game better suited.

I am aware this isn't exactly for newcomers, but every other thing I had found until now was for people that are WAY off into the deep end (or at least so it seemed to me). I mostly picked this game because a calming hypnosis seemed like a good one to dabble in to help get rid of my irrational fear of hypnosis (Because I know my fear is based on misconceptions about what hypnosis is).
I'm aware that hypnosis isn't just being forced into doing things, and I'm aware of the similarities to meditation, I have done quite a bit of research on the topic. But I thought doing what I was told (or trying to) would at least help... I'm not exactly sure how I should be acting when... preparing to be hypnotized? is that the right way to phrase that? Anyway, thanks for the game suggestions!
Yeah it's fine, it's might just be this style is not for you. There's many different types of ways to go into trance and my games are more theatrical/recreational than straight forward or medical related. Theatrical part is more stage hypnosis like if that's the best way to describe it? Maybe a simple guided relaxation might be better for starting off.
