unfortunately, this lost me pretty quick...
I haven't done any hypnosis stuff before this. still figuring out if it's real, etc. I wanted to try a basic hypnosis thing as training wheels for the stuff I'm more interested in. after doing some browsing, this looked safe, chill, and basic (which it is), so I downloaded it! and it was interesting. but the other comments had me expecting miracles, and I didn't get one
with the body-awareness-related stuff, it made me feel a little weird, which got me hopeful! but once it started asserting what my mind was doing, which is pretty early on, I disagreed with its assertions, which seemed to break the intended experience. "You are thinking this," it said, and I knew I wasn't thinking that, so it broke. the game goes on assuming that its tricks worked, and it never looks back. I got left behind...!

it kinda just felt like a porn game after that, especially when it started talking about "more, deeper, filling" and "bursting" and "pleasure" and how it goes on and on about being controlled. it makes me feel like I'm not the target audience for this at all, considering I'm not already into hypno. which is fine! I probably should've gotten the idea that it's meant for hypno enthusiasts from the page description being full of terms I don't know.

so, it lost me. I dunno if there's some way I could've gotten back into it, but the game also didn't really provide for the idea that it could've lost me. I was completely lucid and that wasn't changing, so I tried restarting the game from the beginning, which did nothing. I'm not sure if I did something wrong during my playthrough, and I dunno how to find out... My current theories are just "this isn't the hypnosis for me" or "hypnosis isn't for me in general".
I'm leaving this comment because all the other comments really got my hopes up! I'm sure this is well-made, but it is always true: nothing is for everyone. big respect to the creator for this experimental format and all the support they've given the game. I hope this comment encourages realistic expectations in players! I wish a comment like mine was on the page when I tried it.
this really could be your miracle, but it's not guaranteed!
