About Brain Candy
Explore Your Brain in VR.
WARNING: Contains rapidly flashing lights. Not suitable for those with photosensitive epilepsy.
Brain Candy uses strobing light, binaural audio, and haptic feedback, techniques reported to create states of deep relaxation, laser focus, energized flow, or soft fascination. We can't show our most intense experiences in screenshots but they're designed to reproduce the effects of expensive flicker light devices.
Brain Candy is an aesthetic, creative, and subjective experience informed by the science of rhythmic entrainment. It can serve as an aid to meditation or hypnosis, or just a place to unwind when you don't feel like doing much of anything.
Choose Your Experience
RELAX - Gentle waves of color and rhythm wash away tension
FOCUS - Sharp geometric patterns and steady beats enhance concentration
ENERGIZE - Dynamic visuals and driving frequencies boost alertness
EXPLORE - Intense strobing reveals geometric hallucinations
GUIDED - Timed sessions with voice guidance
How It Works
Decades of published research show that rhythmic stimulation can shift brain states. Brain Candy uses:
- Visual strobing (8-12Hz) shown to increase thalamocortical connectivity
- Binaural beats (1-20Hz) in delta, theta, and alpha ranges
- Haptic pulses synchronized or syncopated with other channels
- Fractal patterns (dimension 1.3-1.5) for soft fascination
Some scenes feel intense or unusual. Stay curious, breathe, and explore.

Skeptic Meets VR Magic: I recommend!
I went into this app as a complete skeptic. I’m just a regular 9-to-5 chap, I don’t meditate, I don’t really know much about alternative states of consciousness, I’m just an ordinary fella is what I’m trying to say. So this is all new to me. I first tried this app using my partner’s headset, but after what I experienced, I had to buy a copy for myself, because I can’t deny that something genuinely unusual happened to me after using this app To start off this VR experience pares everything back to the essentials; no flashy graphics or overwhelming effects, just light, sound, and space. That simplicity is part of its charm though, creating a quietly immersive environment that draws you in without demanding anything from you. It has a very friendly, intuitive interface, with a variety of “flavours” to choose from depending on your mood, whether you’re after calm, focus, or gentle stimulation. But don’t let its whimsical presentation fool you: behind the scenes, it’s serious work. The ...
Intense is an understatement
Brain Candy is designed to induce neural responses to visual & audio stimuli rendered in VR. The graphics make ample use of strobing light and you MUST avoid this title if you have medical conditions exacerbated by such effects. Let's just cut through the cutesy B.S.--Brain Candy is purpose-designed to induce altered states of consciousness. It uses science-based techniques to invoke a psychedelic/hypnotic state. Brain Candy isn't a game or visualizer and I do not recommend it for casual users. If you have experience with other VR apps employing such tools (e.g. SoundSelf, Visitations, Realms of Flow) you'll immediately recognize what Brain Candy is about. Unlike those other therapeutic, meditative experiences Brain Candy uses brute-force to drag your brain into an altered state. It isn't easy to review this app without extensively talking about pharmaceuticals, which should tell you something. Brain Candy is exceptionally effective, but it might be too much for a casual aud...
Gift your self this candy,you deserve it
A beautiful super detailed, thoughtful to the pixel, generous to the soul, wonderful to the eye, opening to the heart app, lovely example of guided art as a service to humans, if you wish to explore beauty, relaxation, Reconnection and inspiration. This is made for you.
PSYCHEDELIC JOURNEY!
An original visual journey into the world of consciousness in VR. The experience is minimalist, but incredibly effective: you let yourself be lulled by the light and sound, perfect for unwinding after an intense session or stimulating your creativity. The different modes offer real variations in ambiance, between zen relaxation and energizing focus. Small reservation: it's not a game, so we forget about challenges or objectives. Visually, it remains sober, but it fits perfectly with the concept. At €6, it's a nice sensory surprise to try, almost a little mental reset with headphones. Ideal for anyone looking for an immersive break or a boost of inspiration without tiring their eyes... well, if you're not sensitive to blinking!
Thank you so much
I was going through a rough patch in my life and I decided to get this game out of only hopes and dreams that it would treat my depression and adhd and it delivered I’m serious when I say this if I didn’t get this game I think I would have not been here on this earth for much longer on 1 to Saturn I rate this Neptune🥹
