The Test: Reality Check

Secret Word is Courage. Took "The Test" again on the same day; got Secret Word "Chaos"

My word was Compassion. I was introduced by my friend to those type of tests, and they really bring out things of yourself, I mean that is the whole point, but they bring something that is actually hidden, a feeling, a memory more likely. You should really give it a try, if you haven't played any of those tests, the only thing you gonna need is to be truthful in order to gain what you seek. Have a wonderful day everyone.

I've played six of these now, and this is the only time I've reviewed one. The gifted word at the end for me was purpose. These seem to be fun little games, and yeah the ends are going to be broad and apply to a range of people...but all I'm gonna say is this one broke a dam and left me in tears. All of them have had some relevance but this one just wowzers. Play them all. Go do it. Right now.

Gifted word: Kindness I really thought he was gonna rip into me and give me some harsh truths, but it wasn't like that at all! And once again, the game totally nailed what was going on with me rn. I am once again impressed. I do have to say this title feels cheesier than the others and lacks the sense of danger I've grown accustomed-- which just made me realize how much the creepy atmosphere of the games made it easier for me to be honest with myself, like maybe there'd be consequences if I wasn't. Regardless, the advice was spot on and I'm excited to have collected another word!

After all these years I've played one of your games again, and it showed me, I still needed to hear the analysis at the end.. ♥ My gifted word was kindness

My word is Gratitude

I'd recommend it to fans of the series, though I felt it wasn't as good as the first three, which are what I played first. This didn't really feel the same, and lacked a certain depth I found in the others. It felt more like stating the obvious or like getting really unhelpful generic advice. It was not bad, though, and it was a fun play. It isn't the one I'd start with, and if I was buying again I'd skip this one, but compared to how wonderful the others are I suppose there had to be one that was the worst.

It's not terrible, but I wish that they would go more in-depth on the "insight" they give you.

My word was Belonging While I am a bit "ehh" on the AI art, the visuals were never really the point of the Test games so much as the questions and seeing as the older ones were basically RPG Maker stock sprites I can let it slide. I do feel like the questions in this one were a bit less probing and varied but it was still a fun way to kill half an hour or so. Apparantly they've gone back and updated the older ones as well with new questions and calibration so it might be fun to go back and replay them all. If you've never played one of these I think I would still recommend starting with the original trilogy which is a lot darker in terms of the questions it asks but I'll always be down to spend a little time with The Test whenever a new installment comes out.

My secret word was: Courage. I feel like this game parroted your answers more than the other games. Still worthwhile. Still a positive message.
