\nGreetings, reader. You do not know me, but I come to you to offer you a gift unlike no other. A gift, with no material value but a spiritual one. What would you say if I had the means to help you unlock a part of your mind you may not be aware of? Don’t believe me? Others have said the same and end up feeling better about themselves.
\nThe process is very simple: I will ask you about 50 questions, and at the end I will discover your future. Though, it may be what you already know, but may not be what you know<\/strong> that you know. You know?
\nI also ask when you do give me your answers, to give me true honest answers. Even if it bugs you to answer them. As long as you give me those answers, I’ll be able to help you access your subconscience.
\nThis isn’t physic…
\nThis isn’t a self personality test…
\nThis is simply nature. This is your own brain discovering a secret message within yourself.<\/em><\/p>\n

Are you ready, to take The Test? Just relax, get a nice cold glass of water, and we shall begin the session.
\nWhere do I begin with this game? Though I shouldn’t really call it that, as it’s more of a social experiment that seeks to open your subconscience.
\nAnd these questions? They’re for you in IRL. I got this game after I saw Game Theory play it. It is somewhat rare for me to be influenced by a game played by a Youtuber. But it’s the questions he was getting that interested me, this was no ordinary IP.
\nNow it’s $1.99. Do I feel I got my money’s worth? I honestly feel “no”. For a social experiment, I feel we as gamers should had been the ones that get paid to do it. And even at that, I don’t even feel it was worth $2. It really unlocked nothing I don’t already know about myself, even knowing about my stubbornness and telling me to “never give up”.
\nFor a bot to know that, is something.. not going to lie. But I don’t feel better about myself. I could ask any good friend and they’ll tell me the same thing this bot
\nsaid, and I wouldn’t be charged $2 for it. Plus I also mistakenly spoiled the game for myself by watching a Youtuber play it. To me it killed that feeling of “this guy is talking to me and me only”.<\/p>\n

Really wish the bot\/person that looks like a combination of SCP-049 and Dr. Robotnik had different questions to ask (based on the person it speaks to). That to me would make it feel well worth the $2.
\nThough there’s one time this thing did kind of creep me out: when it asked “are you alone?”. In my room, yes. In this house I share with my mother, no. That was
\na 50\/50 question.
\nI said “Yes”. It asked “Are you SURE…?” How do you… do you know I’m not actually alone?! So in a way, I wasn’t fully lying. Again, 50\/50 question.<\/p>\n

EDIT: There has been an update to the game. Updated graphics, but they’ve “modified some end results” and “added 20% more questions”. Interesting. Maybe I might get better results.
\nThey also ask for you to check out their other games, such as an episodic series
\ncalled The Advisor.
\n<\/em>
\nThey’re hoping more people will check out this game and give their opinions, so they can take votes before Episode 2 comes.
\nPersonally since I’m not a fan of ‘choices matter’ games unless it’s like the Mass Effect series and it clearly explains by color a good and bad response, I’m staying away from this. However if you folks are into that, please give this game a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
