The Journey to Wild Divine - The Passage & Wisdom Quest Bundle Pack

I expected bio-feedback, and that the game should be a bit New Age. But, this is a game of multiple deities, to become one of the `blue people' was not what I wanted. I have played most of the passage and technically the game works. There is no health emphasis, no graduated relaxation or heart rate counters. Rather, you become proficient at controlled relaxation in order to meet a contrived deity, then you are indoctrinated while in a state of hypnosis. I wanted an entertaining way to relax, not to become quasi Hindu.

I actually purchased the bundle pack. I played the first game, Journey to the Wild Divine, for about a month before I started playing the second game. There were a few times that the first game left me frustrated because I'd end up in a loop that took me to the same place repeatedly. Took me awhile, for example, to take Sophia very literally and follow her dog. (You'll understand when you play the game). I also found the music irritating enough at times that I turned it off. Yet, I still rated the game as a 5 because it did what it was supposed to. It lowered my stress level and enabled me to do meditation exercises without falling asleep. Yes, I know that sounds contradictory that a person with high stress levels would fall asleep when trying to meditate, but I was the best at it. I ended up absolutely loving the Journey, despite its problems. Then, I tried Wild Divine. It is such an improvement over Journey it's unbelievable. The graphics and sound are much better. It's pleasing to the eye, and the music is mostly chant or gentle instrumental. There are more activities, each of which is more challenging than its predecessor. All of the activities are more challenging than in the first game, even if you set the game at its easiest level - which is another great advantage of the Wild Divine - it can be set at different difficulty levels. Realize that this is actually a contradiction of terms. The better you become at the game, the calmer you will become. So, the challenge is to learn to meditate, relax, and accept life. You are given more guidance on meditation procedures that you can use. Finally, if you so choose, you can just do activities that you pick. And, if you replay the Wisdom Quest and don't want to wait on the graphics, you can click on them and bypass them. The games are a definite two thumbs up. But, do make sure you get the silly pear at the beginning of the 2nd game.
