Description: Nevermind is a biofeedback-enhanced psychological thriller that takes you into the dark and surreal world within the subconscious minds of psychological trauma patients. As you solve puzzles and explore the twisted labyrinths of the mind, biofeedback technology monitors your feelings of fear, tension, and anxiety with each passing moment. If you let your fears get the best of you, the game becomes harder. If you’re able to calm yourself in the face of terror, the game will be more forgiving.
Nevermind’s goal is to create an unforgettable gameplay experience that can help teach you to be more aware of your unique internal responses to stressful situations. If you can learn to control your feelings of stress and anxiety within the disturbing realm of Nevermind, just imagine what you can do when faced with those inevitable stressful moments in the real world…
This is not a game you can rush around as you are limited to one speed only, but this means you take the time to look around and really feel those scary moments. While exploring you will come across several puzzles that need to be solved, but they are nothing that most people won’t be able to handle. Other than that, it is a matter of following the path and finding the clues that will lead to understanding why the patient is suffering from PTSD.
Nevermind is still just as intense as the Oculus Rift version of itself. With some very creepy scenes and the odd jump scare or two, this is a game that plays you with its psychological horror and sadly with me, it won. While there aren’t that many episodes for it at the moment the developers do seem very active and answer a lot of peoples issues fairly immediately which must be applauded. But I would wait for a sale as it is a little bit overpriced.
