What do you think?

I have completed your test (twice) and I was pleased to take part, I hope my performance meets to any standard of (in)sanity. 5/5.

This was a weird if what interesting and original idea. Just picking the word that the visual meant to you had you wondering what the ending would be. How many endings you have in this I have no idea but great to see what came out. Plays well and smooth although the blurring can get a little annoying. The sounds for the visuals were brilliant and really added to the experience. Top work... :)

Greetings from MikeyBlighe's Examination Supervisor.​

A pleasant yet rather excitable patient, MikeyBlighe played through the simulation with great interest, although did experience a rather large amount of disorientation, which according to the patient is completely normal for him.

The patient found the graphical qualities of the game to be lo-fi yet still eye-catching, and the queries based on visual representation to be a very interesting methodology. However he did seem confused by the ending of the test, but was nonetheless impressed (if not equally bewildered) by the experience.

Form 42-B was sent along to you via electronic mail earlier today, I sincerely hope you find its contents useful and informative.

INSTRUCTIONS
This software is an interactive experience intended for psychological evaluation purposes. Patient must explore the environment at their leisure and answer every of the ten questions of the test before proceeding to the self-reflection portion of the software.

Once completed, clinical staff must take note of the thoughts and impressions of the patient in a debriefing session.

Make sure to provide patient with an adequate testing environment, free of noise, bright lights or other distractions, during the entire test duration. It is recommended to make the patient wear the clinic-issued headphones during testing, as sound is part of the experience.

Remind the patient that, for each question, they must choose between the three answers offered the one that best reflects their first impression of the scene encountered.

Also tell the patient that there is no need for lies or subterfuge, otherwise the results of the tests might provide an inaccurate portrait as a result.

Please report all results of the test to an examination supervisor using the standardized form 42-B, bundled with the software.
