- Deimorz 7y agoWell, not really, that's an actual game that uses the "Polybius" name: https://store.steampowered.com/app/906120/POLYBIUS/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/906120/POLYBIUS/ It's a pretty great game though, it feels like what someone that had only ever played 80s arcade games would think VR games would be like. There's a good video here of Jeff Minter (the developer) talking through the first part of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VXsAiNdelk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VXsAiNdelk
- egypturnash 7y agoI am pretty sure Minter’s game functions as a hypnotic induction device. Luckily he has chosen to load it with a text generator that commands its user to EMBRACE ENLIGHTENMENT or ESCHEW SLIGHTLY WARM TEA rather than do anything horrible. That is, unless I have only seen the decoy “subliminals” and missed the actual subliminals buried far too deep in the visual noise to make out consciously...
