About Timothy Leary's Mind Mirror
Timothy Leary Wants to Take You on a Mind Adventure
From the mind of Dr. Timothy Leary comes Mind Mirror, a trippy journey through your own mind.
Mind Mirror is not just a game, it is a valuable tool to help you explore your own mind, make decisions, and to envision your ideal self.
Play it by yourself or with a group of people to learn more about yourself and others.
Mind Mirror is a fun and nostalgic blast from the 80s, while still serving as a useful tool for self-reflection and exploring your own personality!
No matter what, we guarantee that Mind Mirror will be unlike any game you have ever played!
About Dr. Timothy Leary
Dr. Timothy Leary was a legendary and controversial psychologist, author, revolutionary thinker, and pop icon mostly known for his experimentation with LSD and other psychedelic drugs. What many people don't know is that Dr. Leary was a serious researcher, educator, and thinker. In the 80s, Dr. Leary had moved on to exploring cyberculture and the potential of computers and digital technology for the examination of personality and to expand the mind. Out of the many ideas Dr. Leary had for software, Mind Mirror is the only completed product.
"I think of this game as a thought processor, headware for the computer generation. It allows you to interface with virtually any concept of personality, and helps put your thoughts into digital form. Try playing with your friends or loved ones. Gather around the firelight of the computer, and the chances are that you'll learn more about them in 5 minutes than you ever thought would be possible in a lifetime"
--Dr. Timothy Leary
From the Original Mind Mirror Packaging
Tune In, Turn On, Boot Up
Mind Mirror is an innovative, dynamic game bringing a whole concept to "personality" software. Written by Dr. Timothy Leary, famous Harvard psychologist, author, and lecturer, Mind Mirror combines the science of Leary's psychometric studies with his own inimitable wit and charm. Part tool, part game, and part philosopher on a disk, Mind Mirror is a provocative game perfect for parties or social gatherings.
The Rating Games
Rate any person, place, or concept with the numeric rating scales. Mind Mirror evaluates your ratings, gives you a brief text analysis, and plots your input on comparison charts called Mind Maps. You can even use the ratings scales to create your own characters and personalities.
Try comparing yourself to your ideal self, yourself to a friend or loved one, even Reagan to Gorbachev. Be creative, have a partner rate you while you rate yourself ... you'll be surprised at the differences.
Mind Play & Mind Tools
You can play the game using either Mind Play or Mind Tools. In Mind Play, applications are ligh-hearted, allowing you to explore topics and celebrities from areas like T.V., films, athletics, and more. In Mind Tools, applications are somewhat more serious, focusing on Psychological Insight, Career Productivity, and Education.
Life Simulations
Life Simulations gives you the opportunity to take any of the subjects of personalities used in the rating games on humorous, interactive text odysseys written by Dr. Leary.
You can play dozens of different life simulations in any of four psychological realms. For example, enter the realm of emotional insight and go back to kindergarten to face the class bully. Or try the realm of social interaction and spend an evening in a punk rock bar or a snooty bankers club.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
I absolutely recommend anyone with even a slight interest in psychotherapy to try this game out, not because it'll blow your mind or because Leary was some kind of genius, but because it's a solid example of what I believe to be a therapy-oriented game. Somewhere between interactive fiction and gestalt therapy (not mention the weird words and "archetypes"), this program is for all I have read basically a reproduction of Leary's PhD thesis. It might well have been a facebook quiz if it was written two decades later! It's not particularly avant-garde or exceptionally brilliant as far as I'm concerned, but it's neat to play through. As far as LSD's legacy goes, it's worth remembering that one of the reasons Leary and others picked the drug up and started popularizing it, was that they believed it could be a tool to transform the way we think, but as anyone who's tried psychedelics (and isn't a numbskull) will tell you, drugs themselves are not a sole magical gateway to an "expanded" mind. Creative explorations of thought is very much what Timothy Leary's software intends here, and while the game aspect is pretty "meh", it's worth a playthrough. Not "because Leary", but because it's …43 found this helpful
