Cognitive Performance and Reward (Hypnosis Study #3)
Cognitive Performance and Reward Response Study is a fictional online research protocol about timed response, reward feedback, cognitive performance, and self-assessment. Subjects complete a simple true/false motor-attentional task on a steady audio-visual pulse. Over time, the task measures response timing, accuracy drift, reward sensitivity, and the effect of pleasure and distraction on first-response behavior.
NOTE: This game makes heavy use of audio feedback: metronome ticks, response cues, and reward chimes. Headphones are recommended, and your audio should be on. If you are in SILENT MODE on iOS when you load the page, you may not have audio until you turn silent mode off and reload.
CW: The page presents itself, fictionally, as a cognitive performance and reward response study while training you to answer automatically, accept reward feedback, care less about accuracy, and agree with increasingly compromising self-report prompts.
It uses repetitive audio cues, pulsing visual stimuli, timed response pressure, hypnotic repetition, erotic conditioning language, arousal language, dumbification / IQ-reduction fantasy (being "dumb"), pleasure-as-distraction (being "needy" and "desperate"), and late explicit sexual text around needing to orgasm, be touched, be fucked, etc.
It is DEFINITELY NOT AN ACTUAL EXPERIMENT. No research data is uploaded or submitted; any "responses recorded" language is part of the fictional frame. The app tracks the current session locally in the browser while you play.
It is an adult game, 18+ only. The surface stays dry and clinical, but the late-stage prompts become bluntly erotic. There are no explicit images, but there is explicit sexual text.
It's a short-to-medium experience, about 25-30 minutes depending on how long you pause between sections.

Hey, that was really good! Hope you'll develop other games like this :)
God, this was absolutely spectacular. "Hypno induction disguised as a research survey" is already a A+++++ trope, and this is a beautiful example. The "sorry, we need to ask you to fill out an extra section" is so so SO good, especially when it's revealed to be EXTRA long. Amazing, amazing work. There's so much this game does so so well...the slow spiral fade in over time, the use of timing and rhythm, the consistent, simple communication of positive feedback...mwah. Amazing work. Sharing this with all my friends immediately.
If I could make a small request: more themes please? Perhaps a petplay one and a chastity/orgasm denial one? Another commenter suggested having a couple different "reward sounds" in addition to the chime, and I think that's a great idea. Chime, a bell ringing, a dog clicker, a couple different beeps and boops...
I did get confused with the the pendulum-esque sections between surveys...sometimes it would count down when I clicked, and sometimes it wouldn't. At first I thought something was bugging out or I had too many tabs open. I think part of why I got confused is that the true/false sections do such an AMAZING job with feedback, and the pendulum didn't give a lot of feedback at all. Maybe it can say something like "Perfect."/"Very good"/"Keep going" every time you click? Or automatically continue after a set time limit? Anyway, amazing work. Looking forward to what you come up with next.
I'm amazed at how easily I fell for it, I think I was completely in a trance, and it had become so natural for me to respond automatically without thinking
yo lowk add to the settings/preferences to change the sound of the "ding" or chime, from like normal to like dog clicker. would be AWESOME
either im more susceptible to hypnosis than i thought or this game is something else entirely because i don’t think i’ve ever been as horny as i was once i finished this. it was actually kind of pathetic, especially considering all this game is is text…
but anyway, spectacular game. i am still not over it. i very much wish you continue with these types of games because my response to this one was absolutely visceral
neat game. my neurodivergent ass figured out the pattern of one of the later levels as to not get tripped up by the false statements. unfortunately there isn't a cooldown for the dizzying tenseness i feel after that last bit (i was waiting in suspense for the false statement to appear).
none of this is a fault of the game of course, i'm just not very suggestible.
Really enjoyed it! Will definitely play again.
I did have two little issues: firstly, I kept getting stuck on the pendulum-esque sections between surveys. I had my settings switched to "forgiving" so the main section never gave me issues, but the pendulum seemed much more strict. Secondly, similar to cobalt1917, I don't know if the staticky noise that started coming in around survey 8 was intended or not - while I eventually tuned it out, I don't feel that it added to my experience, for what it's worth. But if intended, then it's probably a subjective thing?
Guess I'll have to go back through your other games now. :)
I had the same issue with the pendulum and I think it is somehow bugged, double clicking always worked even when way off the timing, while more accurate single clicking did not.
On my second playthrough I realised I could spam the arrow key during the pendulum to succeed. In other words, there's no 'cooldown' or penalty for incorrect timing. Given I was getting stuck for a distractingly long time otherwise, I was kinda relieved!
I did notice that the timing for when the hit registered wasn't consistent (or at least, when the number popped up). Like it could just be starting to touch the centre line, or just leaving it, or even beyond it.
I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, but there's a terribly distracting crackle in the audio I just can't get rid of. Nothing works, no driver, enhancement, headphones, or equalizer changes can get it to go away!
had this issue on firefox mobile, switching to chrome worked.
I really enjoyed this game and had a great time myself, but after sharing it with some friends we sort of found that it could really use an option for slowing the pace (it looks like you can only increase it in the settings). The main thing that kept them from going down was making mistakes right at the very start of it.
Keep up the great work! :3
very nicely done, though that's certainly to be expected
For a game that contains no sexual pictures... why the hell am I this horny. I am pretty sure that by the end I got answers wrong but it still "awarded me as long as I obeyed the key strokes" And I wanted to hear the chime
Honestly one of the hottest surveys I ever taken!!
Though for anyone on a phone, make sure to zoom out in your browser to at least 90% I got trapped at section 8 and had to get myself up to fix it lmao!
But even with that I was so incredibly deep and horny by the end, and the wake up was the perfect cherry on top!
Thank you for the note! I reworked some of the styles and layouts so I think that shouldn't happen again.
