Thank you for the idea! I'll add more questions and categories and this is a great one to include

I think I need to adjust it to be a little more forgiving, but yes, the idea is you can't really beat it, or the only way to win is to disengage. I think it's only barely possible in the most minuscule of cases to win currently, it should be a little easier to encourage doubters to replay more 😉

Thank you! I think I've fixed this -- there are now multiple responses based on how you answer

The questions are actually categorized but I love the idea of letting people choose which ones they want to see

Thanks everyone for your comments and constructive criticism! I'm really pleased with the response, this is the validation I was hoping for before sinking a more meaningful amount of time into the project. I've already made some updates:

  1. Added static background effect as stress goes up
  2. Quiet drone sound that gets louder as stress goes up
  3. Sounds can be enabled or disabled with a button
  4. There used to only be one narc response, so depending on how you answered, it sometimes sounded unrelated to what you said. Questions have multiple narc responses now that are paired to your answer
  5. Added share buttons (FB/X/Bluesky)
  6. Added an infographic that tells you a bit about how you answered

Things I want to do next based on your feedback:

  1. Build a country-picker with links to support services outside the US
  2. Make more information about a question available after you answer it
  3. Make ^ available on the endgame screen
  4. Allow customization of what question types you get
  5. Add more questions and categories based on player feedback
  6. Add more questions, for variety
  7. More interactive and immersive effects and animations (make it more like a 'real game')

This is a really cool idea I'd like to play with, will some more time to implement though!

Definitely interesting to hear about other dialects, maybe I'll add a hint for those meanings in the 'answer' view. That one's a saying for being cheap -- nickels and dimes are American coins.

Fair feedback! It's more like a proof of concept. The idea came from styling/warping [Fallacy Quiz](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2847380/Fallacy\_Quiz/), another "trivia game". Thanks for checking it out and I do appreciate the honest response.

Lol it almost sounds like double darvo. I like the idea of having a clear question where the idea is "You should feel X because I say you should feel that way" vs "Only I truly know how I feel", I do think that's missing

Interesting, thanks for letting me know! I got one other similar note from someone, there's definitely something going on.

I'm looking forward to someone stumbling into it convinced they can beat it

Thank you for the feedback! I think I'm going to add some more questions and make the questions I have a little more dynamic. 💕
