Perennially haunted by my first computer experiences with my father's old (then-current) Macintosh, and having recently been a subject for a psychological research study, I combined these elements into this game. 

Different musical tracks and the possibility of different scores make replaying this, or sharing it with a friend,  an intriguing choice! Game Boy Color/Advance will give the best experience, but this can be enjoyed on any Game Boy system.

(Controls: Move cursor, not with your mouse, but with arrow keys (Game Boy D-pad). Z/X function as A/B buttons to click/note interesting images, respectively.)

Credits: ChiKarego2 and FindersKeepers fonts by Giles Booth, based on Susan Kare's original Geneva font for Macintosh. Design elements and icons/animations by Susan Kare (I recreated them by hand). Buy prints of Susan's iconic icons at kareprints.com. Rorschach images sourced from rorschach.org. Wikipedia informs me that they are in public domain. Feelings questions/format lifted from the study I was in. "Heartbreak Hotel" by Elvis Aaron Presley / Mae Boren Axton / Thomas R. Durden. "1st Gymnopedie" by Erik Satie. "Sonata Quasi Una Fantasia ("Moonlight") by Ludwig van Beethoven. I can't stop making goofy mashups! Other musical compositions are my own.  Made in Chris Maltby's GB Studio.

(This is somewhat of an homage/parody, but I don't know if using these existing and  copyrighted elements may disqualify me from the Game Boy Showdown 2022 jam. However, I am the one who did all the work in editing, formatting, simplifying, and arranging these elements for use in GB Studio.)

Thank you so much! I've dm'ed you back!

Original game. Maybe use a cursor instead of the mouse but I think you want to use mouse for macintosh. And show number of question. Pleasent

I played this on my Super Game Boy, looked great and made me think, what more could I ask for? Maybe a higher score than 92? Or is 92 too high already... How enigmatic.

Thank you for the kind words, and for pursuing the understanding of the enigmatic human mind!

I'm glad it looks good on a SGB. I think GBC may be the very best way to play because it will give pretty accurate colors in the Rorschach segment!
