I like hypno :3

"Nuh-uh~"

*lifts shirt*

Character A: “That’s it, Character B has gone too far! I’m going to confront them in their office!”

*door slams*

*5 seconds later*

Character A, obviously brainwashed: “Character B has done nothing wrong, everything is fine actually… 😵‍💫”

What? Hypnosis? No stupid that’s not real.

i think the most typical spiral focused thing would be kinda casino-like. i'm not a big spiral guy, but i think the idea of designing it so that even if you try to leave, you get lost and wind back up in a room with a bunch of spirals (or maybe just one big spiral, i don't know) is fun. i think there's something about the idea that you seemingly have the option to leave, you can get out into the hallway, but it's too confusing to navigate, and you just have to keep coming back and keep looking, and that's just another chance for it to draw you in. i think sound should be an element, too. maybe some kind of droning noise. or a kind of low bass-y hum that you can feel in your body. enough to just make you feel a little weird. and every little thing that makes you feel weird just makes you wonder if it's already affecting you. when you get lost, you wonder if it's really the way the building is designed, or if it's just messing with your head already, if you're already slipping too far into trance to do anything right.

but i also like the idea of a building specifically designed to be like what you visualize in certain inductions. you know, all these hallways and stairways and everything's numbered and the numbers are all going down. something kind of surreal feeling. i kind of imagine it being monochrome, too. i guess just to represent the idea that this is like, kind of abstract, something in your mind. i feel like there'd be like, clocks and mirrors and stuff on the walls.

of course there's also the approach of just making everything really relaxing. low lighting, nice soothing smells, comfortable furniture. maybe some cozy little nooks that can make you feel separated from everything else. hot tubs, maybe. that makes it a little more mundane, though, more like just a spa or something like that. i'm just imagining it being more like. purple. doesn't lend itself to some huge complicated building or anything either, i mean you're not really meant to be doing a lot of walking or anything. but i think the experience of just walking into a room that you know is meant to be hypnotic and just kinda feeling that relaxing atmosphere as soon as you step in would be pretty nice.
