Have you ever zoned out? Been off in your own little world? It's nice, isn't it?

This is a game about that feeling, and feelings like it.

May cause issues for photosensitive players. Contains no "adult content" (right now) but still... Ages 16 and up anyways, please.


Audio in the browser version may be delayed. If you experience this, please move to the desktop version; audio cue synchronization is important.

This page will host an explicit expansion for the main game when support for expansions is complete. At present, it's identical to the main game.

Interesting. The interactivity in this makes it much more engaging than most other hypno-games I've looked at, which are basically just clicking through text. Unfortunately, fullscreen didn't work for me in the browser.

I'm not sure if I was actually going into trance or just falling asleep (since it's nearly bedtime), but I did wake up on cue, so that's something. I'll definitely be trying this a few more times.

As someone who struggles with trance, this really did well! I'd love to know if there was more, as I saw a "jam version ends here" message?

this worked so so well with me; i think phrasing it as Zoning Out instead of going Into Trance really helped, as well as the interactive part of the game. I sincerely look forward to any updates, if any. Seriously, I dont know how you managed it but this game is so good, I'd pay for the complete version

mobile version doesnt fit to screen for me.

There isn't a mobile version, sorry. The web version was not made for mobile, even if it does load there. It requires a keyboard.

I'll see what I can do at a later date, but right now my focus is on hitting 1.0 release, with a full version of Track A and at least part of C and F.

Great experience so far, actually made me zone out like you claimed.

I liked the choice of colors for the spirals, the pastel pinks are much nicer on the eyes than the standard black and white.

Sadly it crashed everytime I tried to play track XH, hopefully you can fix this as I would love to see more

Ahhh, I see why it crashes. I changed XJ to XH at the last minute, but it's still looking for the XJ folder.

I've actually reconsidered some things, and I think I'm going to just remove XH entirely for now. It might come back, it might not. I'm already stealing enough from Droptiz Deluxe and XH takes things a little too far when it comes to outright copying things without permission. I'm gonna see if I can get in touch with NowThatsStrategy, but until then I think I'll just take it out.

...Wait, pink? Is my colorblindness playing tricks on me again?
(And are you here from the jam, or did you just find this by chance?)

I came from the Strawberry Jam 6

I thought the colour was intentional since it matches the colour scheme used by the jam page.

Which colours were you intending it to be?

The names are "beige" and "bisque" in the engine for the mid-zone ones, and "white" and "whitesmoke" for the title screen ones.
