I absolutely adore the idea of this, but for me, at least, it just doesn't really get me there. It constantly almost gives me exactly what I want, but then I'm hit with what amounts to a fetch quest...or, I guess Faustequest. Eh? Eh? Anyways. It seems really, really weird to have a hypnotist that you pick, but then you are JUST doing tasks for them, and that's it. They play no other role. I get the whole subtle guiding thing with the spirals being the focus, but for me, the actual instruction from the hypnotist is what I favor. I loved when they were there, speaking, but then it was just killing time until they came back. Even if they would just pop up every now and again to repeat a set 10 or so instructions, it'd have added a lot. 

Still, very fantastic for a free project you put out there, and I adored the characters and personalities of each. Shame this seems more or less on hold indefinitely. 

That was...a very interesting experience. I've always been fascinated by hypnosis and have done a few small experiments with it in the past but I never feel like I've fallen into a true trance before. I will admit this is probably the closest I've come to one though. I honestly can't say if it worked as I felt as if I was awake and aware the entire time and remember the entire thing clearly, but I did feel motivated to complete all the tasks, if only to see what would happen next. I will also say I DID wind up writing a little 'tribute' to the King, though I feel sort of as if I did it more on a whim than because he ordered me to. :P

Wisper was by far the most effective for me. Though I felt aware and conscious the entire time, the part where he "took control" of my hand and moved it into the air surprised me. Though I knew in the back of my mind it was me lifting my hand, it really did feel lighter, almost as if someone was gently tugging it upwards. As far as the whole "possession" thing goes I dunno if it worked or not. I didn't do much after he 'took control' other than stare at the screen for a minute or two and eventually click "revert". If I was doing anything else in that timespan I certainly wasn't aware of it.

In any case, very interesting little game. I see there haven't been any updates since last January or so but assuming it's still being worked on I would be interested to see more.

ok as i don’t find my other post I’m just gonna post my addition here

So: MY FULL EXPERIENCE WITH THUS SUMMARIZED


My backstory:

Wanting to get hypnotized since months and over a year now, nothing was ever able to. So I tried this game as it seemed convincing.

Windows instantly gave me the warning:

WINDOWS JUST SAVED YOU

I instantly clicked on: „f you and proceed application“

Start:


Dr idontknowthename is being out of plan and trying the normal method to get me

Trying to get into it

GETTING TOLD 1.89292.029 TIMES I CAN LEAVE WHEN EVER I WANT, LIKE, I KNOW ALREADY OK


Nothing felt special. 
Except.

The spiral.

When I looked into the spiral, I was told to last 5 minutes. I should concentrate on it only, but I couldn’t. Instead, thoughts were running through my head more than ever. Memes, jokes, distraction, everything. I tried concentrating, but it was really hard.

When it felt like 5 minutes, I was unsure how this trick worked.

So I kept waiting.

Even though I knew my thoughts went faster, I wanted to wait longer.

After feeling 10 minutes to have passed (and 20 minutes of thoughts) I clicked.

And the doctor talked with me.

„Fascinating.“

IT WAS THE LONGEST AND MOST EVENTFUL 3.1 MINUTES OF MY LIFE

After getting called an anomaly, which I knew I was before even starting the game, I kept on doing.

The snake king.

I was just confused about getting called a pawn.

I had to think about chess constantly.

Also I don’t know what to do with the phrase „SLEEP.“

Am I actually supposed to sleep or just let my consciousness go?

I don’t know

Snake failed me.

Then there was Sal.

I think this was his name.

Introducing himself with:

I am used to being hypnotized, and I am pretty much an amateur.

I was like: „ah yes, a fellow person wanting to get hypnotized. So you are an amateur? Would be funny if would be the first person to break through this hard case called my subconsciousness.“

I realized the background text is telling you stuff before it’s happening. Sad tbh. 

But the pendulum. It made me feel, heavy, just as he told me too. And this is where I realized: „you crazy son of a b*sh, you made it! You made my mind yours!“

I was told to look at the pendulum for a minute and count

I counted. I was sure of being right but he told me I was wrong, but this could not be. 

I tried again and he told me I was wrong again.

Normally I would  have gone mad and verbally said that he is wrong, I am right

But I didn’t

I fully believed him

I didn’t even dare questioning him.

A last try.

He told me he had tricked me.

So I did like I do, get fake mad at him and…


no.

No I didn’t.

I just thought:

„Heh.   …   You got me…“

It was damn cool.

Nothing strong yet. 

But enough to what I wanted to feel.


Then there came Wisper.

And I already knew I’d gonna love this one.

Not only because they say they try killing cheese so they can eat it.

But mostly because I love stuff like goo taking control of me physically.

Or like they call it:

„Goop“

So they started. 

Just shortly, they made one of the most relaxing things they could do.

Let me fantasize about goo flowing over my body, taking over control.

And then take control of my mind.

And I swear I felt becoming slower.

Then there came the alltime famous:

Floating hand.

Well.

My hand got lighter.

And lighter.

It started raising…

And instead of laying on my lap in a 10 degree angle, it now layed on 350 degree. 

Like just the same but my hand is now above my elbow instead the other way around.

But it didn’t take up.

It stayed to heavy to get up, only light enough to move its angle.

But yet I felt it doing something.

The tipping my forehead was boring, I didn’t feel stuff on that one.

After they told me to revert… I didn’t fully. I still lightly was in trance, slow, heavy…

„I will now go kill a Mac‘N‘Cheese“

This BROKE me out of trance, shattering into laughter.

I Love that line.

So yeah, doctor and snake failed me, but Sav and Wisper were awesome.

I will now play them every day instead of Spelunky or Minecrafz.

This is way better than both of these.

Well done, Vinyl.

You were the first to hypnotize me. Twice.

And probably many more times as I will proceed playing the campaigns over and over again.

So yeah, genius game.

Hi, huge fan of the game and your work generally; wanted to let you know if you didn't already, vinyldragon.com is no longer linking to your website, but instead to a web hosting page saying the domain is available. It's still linked on here, though. It might make sense to do some housekeeping on the links.

Thanks, and have a good day!

ARE YOU THERE

(+1)

Man I would kill for a VR version of this or something similar!

Oi, is there a 100% completed save? Thought the Shift+R would reset a SINGLE character. Not the ENTIRE GAME.

(+2)

The link to the content warnings doesn't seem to work for me as antivirus keeps flagging and blocking me from accessing it

Is this game able to be played on mobile?

(-1)

Wow such a good app! Sal is incredible, tipped me over the edge ;-)Some more erotic would be fun. 

(+2)

hello! I just finished playing through this game and it was really enjoyable, i didn't expect to play it for as long as i did, I ended up completing all the tasks in the game, I see that the last update was a long time ago so this will probably never get updated but I really hope it does because i want to look at more spirals and colors and do more tasks <3

my discord idk why: wrenoo#1727

(+1)(-1)

Only thing I'd say is please add another female tist with some more erotic options.

Thanks

(+1)

hey vinyl, this persons tweet but with both male and female.

Thanks.

Oh, and don’t mind the erotic. You can make it that way or not.

I just want more characters.

This is really good! Was surprised at how long I took for the 5-minute test (Over 7!). Sal definitely was my favorite overall, absolutely great. Hope to see more!

i felt like doing 10 minutes BUT IT WAS 3

I GOT CALLED AN ANOMALY FOR THAT

(1 edit) (+1)

The gemstone won't give me any points so I can't fill the "300 points with gemstone" part, it seems the same happens with the yoyo. I've played it a few times though and it's a great game so far! I can't wait for more to come out

(+1)

click the shine or brighter part of the gemstone, hope that helps

(+1)

I'll try it, Thanks!

your website went down

We played this through and. holy WOW we've had our brain downright scrundled before but this takes the cake for being so consistently effective at sending us to the ether. Genuinely? I think HYPNOSCREEN brought us to the next step of suggestibility. What you've made here is incredible.


We're hoping life allows you to develop more of this!! We're more than happy with what's already here, but if more does come, we'll probably be over the moon. Thank you for not only creating this  but releasing it for free!! Whenever we finally get spending money, we WILL be sending some your way. You super deserve it! ^▽^

Was cool! Loved all of them although my fave would probably have to be Sal. Pretty new to hypnosis so idk if I really got hypnotised or not (Wisper's hella cute even if he wasn't particularly effective on me) but it was still super relaxing. Happy to hear you're still working on the game :>

Absolutely Epic!

Sal's yo-yo does not swing, when it was put on screen already it just stays there and when it wasn't it doesn't appear. It also doesn't appear at all during the counting sequence or when you associate it with hypnosis.

Both McAfee and Virus Total say this is a virus

(+3)

It's a false positive. That happens all the time with indie games.

I really like this game and hope for more uwu

This was super super fun and effective! I don't drop very easy but this had me down deep. I have only tried the first two tists but I really enjoy them. My King is definitely my favorite of the two. His task is open ended but fun. Slight glitch though: attempting to reply his second to last task errors out the game. Can't wait for the next update! 

man it felt good to be in that trance, keep up the amazing work

Pretty fun game, I did enjoy everything but Sal's last request is kinda confusing because I'm not sure if is just me or not but when Sal ask me to stare at the yo-yo for a short time and then tell how many spins did it made but there is no yo-yo and then I just end up snapping out of trance. Also I'm curious about the nsfw part, is that on the future or what? that'd be fun

Seems the download is bugged

Playing through your game, I can really admire how well designed the concept was to focus on immersion in a hypnotic setting gameplay-wise. There's a bit of polish still needed of course, for instance Sal's last task requires to give an answer after some time, but said answer box cannot be interacted with if you decide to start another hypnotist's task beforehand (bug observed in the Web version). But as an overall experience, it definitely marks its own spot in the genre!

I do wonder, what engine is this game running on if you don't mind me asking?

I'm getting crashes in the 1.4.1 release during Sal's third speech, where the yoyo is supposed to move around, the error is

I'm getting the same error

Great stuff! I think this is the first time I've been properly hypnotized (Wisper's last event was crazy! It's fascinating what the brain can do). The only small nitpick is that Sal's events don't seem to work properly for me (the yoyo doesn't swing in the web version and the game full-on crashes at that point in the .exe :( ), but other than that this is super fun! Looking forward to any potential future stuff if you keep going with this <3

THANK YOU SO MUCH! This has now been fixed, too, thanks for pointing it out!~

Really sorry about this. This has now been fixed!~

Game crashes when starting dialogue with Sal and Wisper

Super relaxing and blush-inducing game!  I absolutely love it, Vinyl!  Best brainless bubble-bath without having to take a bubble-bath ^^

I might be dumb but what's nsfw about this? I beat it fully and i dont understand. Am i just dumb?

Deleted 10 days ago

i was asking because i was scrolling the nsfw tab. thats why i was so confused

As someone who has learned hypnosis from articulate resources, and appreciates both the technical and emotional aspects of it, this game is a really great thing to stumble onto. Vinyl GETS it~

Is there a way to play this on android? I tried to use joiplay but it says "this game is not supported"

Vert good game, but i found out that i cant be hypnotized

(+2)

I love the simplicity of this. Tried a couple other hypno games out there, but this seems to be the only one that really does anything for me. I even hooked this up to my vr headset through an desktop viewing app and good god this just goes to a whole new level. Love it. 

I finally had time to try out 1.3! Here's my thoughts:


Wisper is really good! I thought for sure I wouldn't like them, but they turned out to be great. I like their personality and writing a lot! Also Wisper's color scheme is amazing! Wisper's spiral set to 13 speed with the Spiral event is, no exaggeration, the most mesmerizing thing I've ever seen.


The new voices though, I'm really not crazy about. It'd be nice to have an option to switch back to the old ones, since the new ones are so weird and distracting.


My biggest request though would be a way to display the visuals from the spiral or yo-yo event all the time. I wish I could just stare at Sal's Yo-Yo or the Spiral Event (especially mixed with Wisper's spiral) endlessly without having to wait and re-trigger the event over and over, which really breaks my immersion. 


Overall, another great update! I'm waiting eagerly for the next one!

(+1)

I was having a good time with it when i kinda encountered a bug that threw me out of how I was doing sadly, Kinda ruined the trance but hey, still nice over all
