Doug Comstock shares his thoughts on horror games along with some very kind words about Nevermind in “Quarter-Per-Play!”

While adjusting the playing-field to properly address the issues horror games have faced in predictability and replayability; Nevermind’s biofeedback-enhanced game-play is poised to change the way horror games are designed fundamentally, and could possibly provide a new angle for anxiety management. As a player’s ability to manage their stress changes Nevermind’senvironment, the all-ready-instated goal of being as unpredictable, varied and fluid as possible can stand to have much more valuable impact through multiple play-throughs.

Thank you to Gamasutra for their mention of NEVERMIND in their Recap of IndieCade 2012.

I watched a girl who “doesn’t play games” dominate Super Space __ for 30 minutes, saying “it’s not as intimidating as I thought!” I overheard indie dev Anna Anthropy say that never had she felt so safe around game fans. I saw my friend Erin Reynolds display her game Nevermind while her husband acted as booth babe. I saw people from all sorts of backgrounds playing and demonstrating games.

I don’t think the traditional industry purposefully avoids diversity, but it doesn’t especially encourage it either. It’s difficult to do within a large organization, and you certainly can’t hire people just because of how they look or what their background is.

CNN iReport shot a great interview with Erin talking about NEVERMIND.  Check it out below!

Thank you to the Examiner for doing a great recap of this year’s IndieCade Game Festival in Culver City, California.  Check out what they had to say about Nevermind:

Nevermind is another game with an innovative, conceptual twist. It is a nightmarish, first person horror survival game, akin in concept to the movie The Cell, allowing a player to enter people’s nightmares (while confronting one’s own). The twist is that this game uses biofeedback technology–the computer is connected to a stress-monitoring device the player wears while playing. As the player’s stress level increases, the game becomes harder to play, and once the player calms down, the game becomes easier.
