Hypnoscreen, The Game Made To Hypnotize YOU
<<vinyldragon.itch.io/hypnoscreen|Holy fuck guys, this is the game I've waited 5 years in the hypno community for>>

I'm not exactly the best at marketing so please, check it out for yourselves, but I cannot recommend this enough to hypnosubs like me. Become the test subject of Dr. Jen Faustus, and test her hypno device, keep clicking to keep it powered and earn points, sinking deeper and deeper as you push it more and more intense. Fulfill tasks to unlock deeper trances and more options, and just go as blank as you can <3

I've completely fallen in love with this game, and I really hope you guys enjoy it as much as I have.

Oh I actually played this a few days ago and in my personal opinion...it has potential. Obviously it's not done (which is why I'm not directly saying I didn't like it)

The part I didn't like was the snake guy. Listen I know kaa/snekky bois are popular and all but why does everything feel the need to include them? Another thing I don't like about it is it doesn't save your custom spiral, if you change the spiral for any reason and go back to "Custom" you have to remake it from scratch which really sucks because I spent a good while picking out the colors I liked.

Despite what I just said, I'm actually really excited for more updates because it has a fuckton of potential and honestly is a great concept.

I'm not wild about the command to advertise at the end, but it's tongue-in-cheek enough (and mentioned in content warnings enough) that I won't consider it a major negative for the game as a whole. As things stand, it's pretty empty of content, obviously...but what IS there is downright excellent. Largely. I kinda echo hypnosis-guy's sentiment, I'm not big on the cobra dude at all. In a full version, I'd kind of like some option to skip past 'tists that don't interest you at all.

This has MAJOR potential. This is actually the kind of thing I kind of hoped might be prompted to exist when I noticed Spiral Clicker included trances! I'm definitely gonna try to keep up with it.

I think the game would be better off as a straight hypnosis engine without a theme to it. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's cute and interesting, and I don't mean to knock the developer(s) for anything.
I do really think the idea of a custom spiral maker is REALLY dope. But it's also probably easier to just make a project in Unity or Unreal that displays a default set of spirals, or allows the user to put in an mp4 or gif of their own, and place text/audio files to go with it, and use that. I mean, with simple scripting you could have that set up in a day. maybe 2 if you want to put some real style to the system, and/or add TTS support.

I mean, sure, that would be EASY, but I couldn't agree less. If this was just a spiral maker, it'd just be Nimja with far less options. The writing and theming is what makes this so interesting. Besides-if all you want is to use this in the background while you run an audio file, you can certainly still do that as long as you avoid/have already completed the actual content.

I don't think "but I was hypnotized!!!" or whatever justifies spamming ads anyhow. Like, I get that we're all on a hypnosis fetish website trying to jack our dicks off, but come on. It doesn't work like that.

You can mention HH in the itch.io comments if you want?

Good news: dev here! (@vinyl-dragon on twitter, don't have any way to prove it other than... I am them.)
Lewd is planned! I made this game to be a player-based hypnosis game before I made it to be a lewd game, though, so I'm building it that-first. (There's a million games with naked people in them, but I feel I can count the number of games with player-centered hypno on one or two hands, and that's criminal in my eyes.)

I'm working on a website with an HTML version as we speak!

I'm kind of confused by this comment-have people been spamming? That was never the intention and I was very careful with my wording to avoid stuff like that... The command to advertise is honestly not much my style, so I did my best to add it in as an "extra" after the main character pretty much says "that's the end of this demo," and did some very specific hypnotic wording nobody needs me to go into. Plus, it doesn't work like that, I agree! Which I mentioned in the game a couple times, just to make sure it never felt like the characters were forcing the player to do anything. Let me know if there's anywhere that's getting too spammy!

So about that "saving the custom spiral thing"...

There is actually a very easy way to implement this: just allow the player to choose to interact with the 'tists. How about instead of immediately initiating a conversation with the 'tists after you complete their tasks, a message appears at the top like "You have completed ['Tist]'s task! Talk to them to continue their path."

There could even be funny dialogue if you try to talk to them without completing their task.

See, I think having them come to you upon completing their tasks is good. I think what I would do is make it so that you need to talk to them again once after every event to get the next set of challenges instead.

Sorry, I didn't realize I didn't respond to it-that's a great idea, I love it! It may not be in the next build, but probably the NEXT next one, lol

Something along those lines is coming in the next build, coming out this friday! Other people complained about skipping past dialogue and wanting to replay it, so now there's a seperate menu for it, as well as the alert to let you know when you've completed the tasks.

goddamnit pink if youve been conditioned to advertise this im going to be pissed. you need to be more careful

edit to the dev: you're idea of "hypnosis cant make you do that" isnt exactly true. pink, and a fair amount of others, are very suggestible, meaning you can get them to do things they normally wouldnt do, but would under certain circumstances. so while i dont intend to play your game, my advice is be careful, consider carefully the commands you might be giving
