Far be it from me to criticize but do you think the fact that the name of the game and the scientific study might be causing you some exposure issues? It might be helpful to do something to differentiate it from the experiment. Like how American McGee’s Alice did to separate themselves from that 50 different iterations of Alice in Wonderland.
I dunno. Feel free to ignore me. Seems like it could be fun and went ahead and wishlisted it to keep an eye on it. Either way good luck! Looking forward to try it out when it’s released.

Well, for now that is the game I like for the game, I don’t think it helps or is in the way of exposure. But a lot of people have told me they played the game because they have heard of the experiment

This is one of those cases where a Name:Additional Tag might help with exposure.
The name of the experiment draws initial interest, and the additional post colon/title gives it additional ability to distinguish itself from the actual experiment itself in search results.

Right on. Just was throwing it out there. I don’t think you should change it away from the title entitely just put something in there to make it easier to make a distinction. I think it’s gonna be hard to tell people to look up the game that shares the exact name with an incredibly popular psychology experiment. I just doubt I’ll be bring it up to other people very much cause there’s an incredible burden on me to make a distinction.
At the end of the day you do you! I’ll still check it out. I just think you might be getting in your own way a little bit the title. If that’s what you want to name it then go for it. That’s kind of the best part of doing a personal project! You can take advice you like and throw out the rest without having to get a consensus from marketing or some asshat in mgmt!
