  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Biofeedback game called the wild divine. Click on the link below.

My girlfriend ordered this for me for xmas, and it's quite a trip. The mood of the game is a little too wannabe eastern hippy for me, but I do enjoy the activities and puzzles in the game where you have to alter your mental (and thus physical) state to move on. One that I particularly enjoy is this doorway where there's a figure of a man with a gold circle above his head. The goal is to lower that circle to the region below your navel through visualization and relaxation. This seemed to me strikingly similar like drawing chi into your dantien in martial arts or qigong training, so that's what I did, and it worked!

Aside from the puzzles and activities, the game itself is basically a series of pre-rendered environments (like Myst, but more grainy) and a bunch of hippy actors talking to you about energy, the human mind, and what-not. But I was in it for the activities, and it is well worth it for that alone.

And interesting experience that is well worth trying.
