NOTE: This game is designed to be played with a gamepad with force-feedback / rumble enabled. The game is completable using a mouse & keyboard, but force-feedback is essential to the intended experience.
First Interoception Training Experience (FITE) explores using the technique of interoception (being consciously aware of what your body is experiencing) as a gameplay mechanic.
By using the stress-inducing mechanics of a first-person bullet-hell shooter while asking the player to maintain an awareness of their physical sensations, it's possible that this experience may strengthen their mind-body awareness for other stressful situations.
If you do not have access to a gamepad with force-feedback, the game can be played by using a combination of the ctrl key and left & right mouse buttons.
