Hypno Tetris
Welcome to Hypno Tetris, a game whose description is self-explanatory. This game will hypnotically induce you so that the more you play the simple game of tetris provided, the better you'll feel and the deeper you'll fall under the program's spell.
PLEASE NOTE: This game is intended to be played with headphones for the best experience. You should not play this game while in an unsafe situation, nor should you if you under 18 years of age. None of the affects within this game should last beyond the play session, which can be ended any time the player chooses. For more consent information, please see the consent info portion of the main menu.
Additionally, while pressing the ESC key will stop the program, you will need to press it twice if in fullscreen mode on a web browser. Once to exit fullscreen mode and once to stop the program.
Finally, while this experience is free, please consider contributing to further development. Creating experiences like this takes time and effort, not to mention significant resources, and your financial support helps ensure more (& even better quality) products can be delivered in the future. Whether you choose to donate or note, thank you for choosing Hypno Tetris - run while you still can enjoy your experience.

The induction didn't work on me :(
Also idk why but my heart started beating like crazy while preparing to and playing the induction/game, and I'm shaky right now
the game does not work at all for me. i have no input :(
Would be really fun if soemthign would happen during playing the game
I like it! Like others said the induction could use some tweaking -- perhaps adding some lines while you play would be valuable as well, since I find the focus of playing a repetitive game to be a good backdrop to hypnotize someone to.
A minor tweak that I feel would be quite good would be to have lines clear one at a time, so if you clear four lines at once the sound plays four times, clearing one line at a time. Perhaps it's just that pleasure triggers aren't that strong with me, but I found it most enjoyable when I managed to clear multiple lines in a row and I can't help but feel clearing multiple lines should be more rewarding than just one.
Overall, a solid hypno-game. Probably going to recommend it to a couple of my friends.
As a side note, the font for the itch.io page is borderline unreadable. I get that there's a pixel theme but it's hard to read and gives me a headache.
I enjoyed it, but I have some feedback.
The first time I played it I got a bug where it skipped the induction, so I played an entire game of tetris assuming the induction would start sometime during the game. I read the comments and realized something went wrong, refreshed the page, and it worked properly the second time.
I found the particular set of triggers kind of...boring? Maybe it's a personal thing but pleasure triggers don't work well on me. Like it would be more effective if one was for pleasure and one was for going blank and another was for falling deeper or something along those lines.
I hope this doesn't sound too harsh, I really did enjoy it. I hope you update it or make more games in the future!
Maybe too late, but in the induction, it would be good to add time between "in" and "out" breaths (not very relaxing at the current tempo). Otherwise, good hypno (timing of when to focus on background sound is perfect!) and lots of fun. Thanks!
Movement needs tweaking, its way too sensitive and the controls are very a-typical
I feel like some people are being too harsh on this game especially since it's the first version. As far as I know it's not copying anyone else either (I have never seen hypno tetris before) and 'game that hypnotises you' as a general idea doesn't belong to any one person. It's a genre that honestly needs way more, so kudos to the dev for adding to it.
I'll repeat what I said on my rating plus add some details:
Could use more polish, when I tried to resize the window, the window got smaller but the contents didn't change size with it (they stayed maximum size). A choice of text-to-speech tracks would be nice too if possible. As well, having the controls displayed in the settings section or somehow before the hypnosis would have helped with staying in a hypnotic state, because as soon as I got counted up and the game started I was taken out of a suggestible state since I was quickly looking to see what the controls were.
It would also benefit from a more thorough induction and trigger establishment/more time establishing and strengthening the triggers before playing, to make them more effective (since personally I thought it was pretty brief) along with some kind of score/progression to keep it interesting.
Perhaps a scoring mechanic where once you hit certain score thresholds, it 'rewards' the player with a sound that's been established as a trance deepener, or something else similar?
Regardless, it was a fun time and worth trying out, although the triggers weren't very effective for me. Thank you for uploading the game!
I really enjoyed this :3 Good job!
does this actually work or does adhd really make this har
What? Bad spelling, also no it doesn't work. Though when you say it doesn't the dev says "it only works if you let it" which is sketchy to say.
there is no "forced to do something without any way to stop it" type of hypnosis. but real life hypnosis works as much as being immersed in a story works - you focus your attention on the text/voice/video, you forget about your surroundings, you lose track of time, you assept some things as true even if they would never happen this way IRL, you feel things you wouldn't normally feel by just sitting in your room or lying in bed. But unlike in a regular story, in hypnosis you are the main character, and your own body and your own feelings become part of the narrative. The main thing that a hypnotist does is they create a narrative and experience that you can focus on, and 'tasks' that you and your mind should be completing to move this 'story' along. And yes, people do feel 'pleasure waves' or other things during hypnosis - but that's just because they learnt how to let their subconscious manifest those feelings during trans (which is what "believeing" in hypnosis and "allowing" is all about).
but like it can be hard to follow one story, but very easy to immerse into another, so it can be easy or hard to fall into trans, depending on the tecniques hypnotist uses and your personal preferences. I personally perfer 'human' voice and keeping my eyes closed, so this game isn't really my cup of tea, but it still was fun while it lasted (which was very short, 'cos the "game" part of the game doesn't work on mobile <.>)
What you are talking about is just turning off you're brain and that type of hypnosis doesn't make it so you can have pleasure on demand mate.
Please stop replying unless you have something constructive to share. Hypnosis is effectively suggestion—it's more effective on those who believe it has an effect, and less on those who don't, to simplify things. If they're here, playing the game, chances are they're intrigued (likely inclined to treat it as real) or cynical (potentially susceptible, despite doubting it). That's all.
Says the person who is responding to something from a week ago, and also no. I don't think that's how that works because nothing can do that to you're body that is "hypnosis". The only plausible assumption is the hypnosis is shocker, bogus but you use said bogus hypnosis to trick yourself into thinking it does something then make the rest up as you go, taking any slight feeling as proof it somehow works. I have yet to see someone who claims they had " Orgasmic pleasure from clearing a line ". Why? because that's not how the human body works.
I've had better luck getting orgasmic pleasure from official Tetris games, this one just leaves me limp and sad. :(
Super fun, and does what it says on the tin. It felt really nice to drop and be blank for a bit. Hypno and Tetris what more do you want?
quizas soy asexual o que se yo, no senti nada mas que el hecho que me ayuda a concentrarme mejor en el juego las espirales exteriores, tengo 23 años, aunque quizas la hipnosis solo sirva en ingles no se
I see who you're trying to copy... Sure it's an interesting concept but this shit doesn't work with a voice like that lol
Hello! Not trying to copy anyone. I have used this particular text-to-speech translator multiple times in the past, while success varies from person-to-person I can guarantee you it does in fact work
Where's the "Adult"? Ain't nothing happening, it's just a tetris game. BORING.
Hello! As stated in the consent information, this game hypnotically induces you to feel orgasmic pleasure upon clearing a row of blocks. The "adult" content only works for those who let themselves be tranced & have the suggestions implanted in their head - hence "Hypno Tetris"
Eh, never believed in that hypnosis stuff but the tetris was fun. Wish it sped up though I'm not used to such a slow tetris game never lost just quit.
