What is Talk To Me?
Talk To Me is a tool that helps you to deal with your life challenges. It can be about life, work, relationships, pets, choice of clothes - you name it. And the best thing? All the answers come from you - no external meddling, nobody judging you, no guru manipulating you. But your own :)
During the experience you will speak with an advisor who will listen to your concerns. But the answers of the advisor will not be generated, you will step into the shoes of your advisor and listen to yourself from the advisor’s perspective. After answering to yourself as the advisor, you will switch bodies again to listen to the advisor's answer from your original perspective, and the conversation may continue as long as you'd wish.
Compatibility
This is a Virtual Reality experience that will work on the Oculus Quest 1&2.
Benefits
Thanks to Talk To Me, you will be able to experience a conversation with yourself. This is not only fun, but more importantly: it's scientifically researched and shown to help people successfully unpack any issues they might have on their minds.
Talk To Me helps you to deal with your thoughts and emotions, instead of thinking over and over on challenges without solutions, you can finally deal with those challenges. You’ll be able to identify what’s not working and why. Research shows that people typically give better advice to others than to themselves. Talk To Me allows you to give advice to yourself like you would to another person. This way you can benefit from the greatest advice possible - from yourself!
Finally, you will answer to yourself in the position of an experienced advisor, and the simple fact of being someone that looks smart and experienced helps to come up with reflected answers about challenges. Which often results in finding new solutions and ideas about how to deal with your life challenges.

I can't really hear my own voice the same way other people hear it so its great to have a character repeat what I say, I can hear what I actually sound like easier than recording it so it is good for learning voice acting, I know thats not what its for but it is good at that
Hi, I used this application several times and really enjoyed the experience.
As someone neurodivergent with ADHD (Among other things) and RSD, I find this application to be a wonderful outlet to reframe my emotions and also to have someone to talk about my emotions with #Myself ( Strange, isn’t it ?, VR is wonderful.)
So far it has helped me workshop logistical problems and find what I wished to be my priorities for the time being, but also to dedramatize stressful situations and understand some anger and discomfort I was experiencing.
I know the project is still in early access but if I may; as much as I love the character of the practitioners/psychologist, maybe having other genders or different-looking psychologists could be interesting options for the people intending to try this roleplay, tho I like the white suit! Regardless of the gender or skin colour of the psychologist, I think it would be a nice touch for them to keep it!
Adding different colours of skin for the patients too would probably make the experience more appealing to many more curious people, I hope! (At the moment of testing the application in February 2024, the patient can only be a white male or female)
In any case, I found this application to be a wonderful idea and I hope to see it grow.
I wish the team working on this game the best

Hello, we might consider doing a PC version if we get enough requests for it! Would you like a PCVR version or a PC game without VR?
