So I believe in hypnosis I've just never been able to experience being hypnotized, and I'm sad to say this one didn't work on me either :(
I always try to take this kind of thing at face value and even listen to / obey instruction but my mind can't help but wander. Maybe it's my ADHD.
Early on in the game i just noticed some words fading more slowly than others and not even on purpose, i just started trying to figure out which words they were each time. At some points i was focusing so hard on reading and comprehending the text, I forgot to breathe, which then pulled me back out to make sure i kept breathing.
I may try this again on ADHD meds to see if that makes a difference.
It was nice to do some breathing exercises. Good reminder for me to do those more often.
