A downloadable Interaction

Stressful Feather is an interactive experience created on Post Processing meant to create a calming relaxation effect. You control a falling feather and must try to keep it in a moving box by using your microphone (either your built-in on your laptop or any microphone connected). Controls: Talk into your microphone to lift the feather up while pressing the W key to raise up the sensitivity (the feather requires a higher volume to float up/square becomes red) while also using the S key to lower the sensitivity (the feather doesn't need too much volume to float up/square becomes black). 

Stressful Feather was heavily inspired by the game "Celeste" where at one part, the character is having an anxiety attack and the player must keep a feather floating to keep the character calm. My team and I were interested in this mechanic and hoped to customized it by having it rely on microphone input. Enjoy!
