"MindHabits produces computer software designed to help people reduce their stress levels and boost their self-confidence, using games that automatically retrain the way the mind responds to social stress. This patent pending technology is the result of a decade of research by scientists at McGill University, one of the world’s top medical research centers. The software – based on the emerging science of social intelligence – helps you practice the mind habit of focusing on positive social feedback, which in turn reduces stress levels and improves self-confidence."
The best thing is: you can try the game for yourself right now. (I´m not sure the flash will be displayed on feeds readers):

They must come from the "implement a shallow dynamic around a loosely interpreted theory" school of game design.
This is really nice piece of work! That each action wins you the goal of seeing someone smiling at you is surprisingly effective. Definitely a cut above most 'spot the difference' games.
I wonder what's in the full version, except more faces?
I think they have other 'games' in the full version. I was not very impressed by this one, but maybe I´ll have to wait and see if my self-confidence is actually improving...
I´m not sure if the game is supposed to affect only those with serious stress issues - I´m guessing it´s not.
