test hypnosis game1 + Hypnosis Script Analysis
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
This is a game that will hypnotize you. It includes NLP, Ericksonian methods, and some covert-ish techniques.
The total runtime is about 15 minutes, give or take depending on how slow or fast you take it. Treat this game as a hypnosis file or session -- set time aside for yourself and be aware that if you need to turn your attention elsewhere, it's up to you to disengage.
Please download whichever content warnings you need. There are CW without major spoilers, and CW that spoil what the game is. Or play it blind!
Brief CW: This game contains no references to gender, no explicitly sexual/genital-based eroticism, and no lasting post-hypnotic effects aside from a very subtle sort of "perspective shift" anchor. It does contain hypnosis and themes of control and intensity that are not specific to a person.
NEW: I've gone through the hypnotic script of the game and written detailed commentary to use it as a teaching tool -- learn some concepts and language to do effective hypnosis. This transcript analysis is FULL SPOILERS of the game. Included are two page sizes for friendliness towards desktop or mobile reading.
Enjoy!

Good game, enjoyable hypnosis.
Also, IMHO, both CWs overdo it a bit. To me, the game seems to be about in line with what people call "light obedience." No need to be into dominance/submission to enjoy.
Huh. I looked for a comments section before, and didn't find one.
I've tried the file twice. First time, I knew I was in hypnosis even when it said I wasn't sure. But the stuff with the intensity increasing was lost on me.
The second time, the opposite happened. I wasn't sure I was hypnotized, but then the intensity aspect overwhelming. Instead of relaxing, I got rather tense, like it was physically hard to hold all the hypnosis in.
Hoping an eventual third time means that I'll get the intensity of the pleasure. Not that it wasn't pleasurable in its own weird way both times. But it felt kinda mild.
I enjoyed that! I liked the way the player had to sometimes click each time to get individual words, which emphasized them. The word choices. The three dot pauses. The interactive YES sets... loved them all. The way the player can read at the pace that is comfortable for them. I see lots of potential for this, I hope you will do more with it!
Predicting what was coming next took me out of it at first, and I didn't really feel deep under at all by the first "am I hypnotized right now?" I was kind of confused by trying to feel a separate part of me, and thinking about why I might want to be hypnotized also distracted me a bit... but at some point, I was definitely under.
While under, I didn't really feel overwhelmed at all. Just kind of blank. Having an empty text box was a clever touch, I think that's where it felt the most blank.
I think all of that is the intended effect. Well, except not feeling overwhelmed. That happened to me the first time, too.
But then I tried a second time.
This was really neat :D!
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...!
[mild spoiler section]
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.
[/mild spoiler section]
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!
yep, it doesnt work on most people
this somehow fuck wit the comment section though?
Yeah, I wouldn't necessarily expect it to work on someone's first time. If you read the analysis, she's counting on certain common experiences that you might not have. Plus you don't have experience with hypnosis to know that you sometimes just go along with things and imagine you agree. Or even just ignoring a suggestion and moving on.
I suspect you basically got yourself out of trance, and then subconsciously convinced yourself that you couldn't get back in. I'm also pretty new to hypnosis, and I've done that, too.
If you are still interested in experimenting with hypnosis, I will make a recommendation to get started in a way that's comfortable and light, and which helped me when I first was getting started. Look up TheLadyAurora New to Hypno using Google. It will show a page that you have to "buy" an audio file for free and then download it.
I can basically guarantee that you'll go into some level of trance with that file. But that may not mean what you currently think it means.
I have always been interested in hypnosis, but I always get caught up in all the little details and the odd level of focus required to go under, but this game was just so amazing. my head still feels like its reeling from the experience. the dev is seriously amazing to create such an amazing effect without making it too complex
You may want to try different types of inductions. Resistant works well for me, as can confusion and overload. All kinda have the focus part built in.
Wow. Just Wow.
I've tried some hypnotic files and videos before and they've never really managed to take me very deep, but this game. THIS GAME! It really pulled me down in the most amazing and pleasant way.
10/10 a must for anyone curious about hypno!
i found this to be very effective in a way that previous attempts didn't always manage to obtain!! very incredible and clever use of the medium IMO.
i was a little surprised at the brevity of the count-up; normally with pre-recorded material i'm used to a little more chatter and gradular walk through stages, but i also don't want to call that a major complaint. just differing style/preference maybe 🙂
my gf passed me a copy of one of your books and i'm also eager to reference the analysis you did here after going through that game, so i tried to leave a reasonable consideration 🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️ thank you very much for your work!!
super impressive!
I am very glad I checked this out <3 Also I really really hope you keep making edwardian methodology <3
Honestly, I didn't think this was...real? A lot of devs leave older versions of their work on the site, either for posterity, for rechecking old versions or other purposes, so I thought this was actually just a test. It was not, it was awesome <3
and...er...
Yes. That's all. ^^;
Is an android version possible? I really want to play this..
can someone advice me to an emulator for visual novels like this?
Seriously amazing. I am very curious to see where you go with this. I'm not easy, and while I won't say I was completely gone, it is one of the best trances I've had. I kinda wish more had happened, but I think that would have been contrary to the whole point.
This was absolutely spectacular! As an erotic hypnotist myself, it was really interesting to see this new style. Looking forward to seeing more and my compliments to those who helped produce this work of art.
It was a pleasurable experience
This was the first hypnosis 'game' I've ever played. Most hypnosis methods don't seem to work for me... I tend to struggle to get into it. But this? Wow, just wow. Please make more, you've got something really special here. Genuinely, great job.
A really good game. Perfectly paced. I enjoyed it completely and would like to encourage the author.
Very well done.
HIGH tier hypnosis
...wow. Really, wow. I never would have thought a simple set of words on a screen could have such a powerful effect. If this is just a test, I'd like to see what you can do with more.
