About the Game

Empower Your Intent (EYI) is a free-to-play rhythm game designed alongside mental health professionals. For those seeking to improve their attention spans or struggle with keeping away from their screens, EYI serves as a gateway to rebuilding your brain's capacity to focus and engage with difficult tasks.

EYI was designed to reinforce mindfulness while consuming entertaining software, such that the skills may be applied to the broader digital landscape. This includes setting your intended play time and declaring your goals before starting. It also includes a design that encourages planning, offers moments of silence throughout, and closes itself once planned gameplay is complete. No manipulation of your desires. No ads. No cost.

EYI was engineered to minimize dopamine release and avoid external motivators. Powerful, scientifically supported methods to reclaim motivation and attention include meditation, reading, exercise, community, and activities that require safe, consensual discomfort. However, constant exposure to effortless, high-dopamine stimuli greatly inhibits the brain's drive to engage in these behaviors consistently. Therefore, EYI is intended to serve as an intermediary to build your brain's capacity for activities that provide long-term gratification over instant-gratification.
