Play your way to enlightenment with Mind Mirror.
The Good
Mind Mirror allows the user to explore the way self concept and the conception of other selves emerges from the subjective mind. This exploration proceeds through rating/profiling of self and others and then through role-play interaction between the profiled self-concept and profiled others. Since you, the user, profile both yourself and the other role players, what emerges is a very focused insight into the subjective nature both of your self-concept and of your conception of other persons.
The Bad
Nothing bad - its all good.
The Bottom Line
You can go as deeply as you are able or willing to go, from parlor-game level to zen satori.

A mind-movie version of William Gibson's epic novel Neuromancer was in development before the project was given to Interplay. The project used similar technology to Mind Mirror.
