THE EXPERIMENT
SYSTEM
WHAT DO YOU DO?
CHOICE RECORDED
SYSTEM WILL REMEMBER THIS.
RESEARCH SYSTEM
- CHOICE
A forced decision
- MEMORY
The system stores the choice
- CONTRADICTION
Collision with prior choice

- REPLAY
The urge to replay
WHAT WE ARE TESTING
- 01
Do players feel their choices actually matter?
- 02
Does remembering prior actions deepen immersion?
- 03
Does contradiction with past choices create tension?
- 04
After seeing consequences, do players want to replay?
LAB NOTE
What we found
Naming a prior choice creates tension. A 30-second prototype beats a long draft for testing.
Next to verify
Connect memory → contradiction → replay into one session.
