You might want to explain what ASMR means and what you want to talk about, because I had to look it up and, like, okay?
Viewing post in ASMR Games on Itch
Thank you for your reply. So, ASMR is a specific neurological response to pleasant stimulus. It's that little shiver you get when petting a cat for example. In popular culture, it has come to mean anything that is relaxing and distracting. On YouTube for example there are thousands of videos claiming to be ASMR, they range from watching toothpaste tube filling machines run to people reading history books in a deep voice.
There are several ASMR games on Itch. Here's a sample:

But no one seems to be talking about them.
I think they are interesting because they are kind of fusion point between gameplay and meditation. You "play" them but they don't usually have win/lose conditions or scoring. I think this is a genera of games with a lot of room for growth and I'd like to chat about it.
Thanks for your response!!!
