A confirmation dialog requires you to:

  1. Read the warning message
  2. Check "I understand the risks"
  3. Click "Enable Anyway"

Scenario Solution
Strict Lock ON, No Panic OFF Press panic key (default: Escape)
Strict Lock ON, No Panic ON Wait for video to end, or use Task Manager

Attention Checks (Mini-Game)

The attention check mini-game requires you to click targets during video playback to prove you're paying attention.

Setting Range Description
Enable On/Off Toggle attention checks
Targets 1-10 Number of clicks required per video
Duration 1-15 sec How long each target appears
Size 30-150 px Target button size

How It Works

  1. During video playback, a button appears at a random position
  2. The button displays a phrase (e.g., "Good Girl", "I Obey")
  3. You must click the button before the timer expires
  4. Each successful click earns +10 XP
  5. Missing targets may trigger consequences (depending on settings)

Managing Phrases

Click the Manage button to edit the phrases shown on target buttons. You can customize these to match your preferred conditioning phrases.

🏆 Achievement Tip

Failing the attention check 3 times unlocks the "Mercy Beggar" achievement!

Audio Ducking

When a video plays, other application audio is automatically reduced to ensure you can hear the video clearly.

Setting Description
Audio Duck On/Off - Enable ducking of other apps
Duck % How much to reduce other audio (0-100%)

How Ducking Works

  1. Video starts playing
  2. System volume for other apps reduces by the Duck % setting
  3. Video plays at your configured Master volume
  4. When video ends, other audio restores to normal
