Erin Reynolds has created her horror game Nevermind so that she can figure out just how scared you get while playing it — and then she also gives you the tools for calming down and taking back control of your mind.

The title uses biometric feedback technology to detect your levels of stress while playing. When you become scared or anxious, Nevermind will dynamically respond to your feelings of stress.
