Got Game ships MindHabits
Got Game Entertainment has shipped MindHabits, a game that claims to reduce stress and boost optimism after only five minutes of play a day. Based on research from McGill University, the title presents positive state-of-mind challenges, in an attempt to help the user boost self-confidence and improve work performance. A sample challenge finds the user seeking happy faces in a crowd of frowning ones.
MindHabits features 200 levels of gameplay over four core modes, and tracks daily results through a progression meter. It has customized play for male and female users, and adapts to age characteristics. It is available on a Windows/Mac CD-ROM for $20. A trial download for the Mac version is listed as "coming soon" on the website.
