Lazybrains is a third-person action-adventure game in which the goal is to use your brain as a control to complete tasks and puzzles while fending off enemy creatures to help solve the problems of a struggling imaginative world.

Inspiration for this game drew heavily from games such as

Legend of Zelda, Psychonauts, and Beyond Good and Evil.

However, the fNIR device adds a never-before-seen element to the gameplay. Not only do the traditional hand controls apply to the control of the game, but a special headset actually determines the level of concentration of the user! This input will be used to affect various environmental elements in the game. For example, if the puzzle involves raising platforms to reach higher ground, concentration will cause the platforms to rise up.
