very nice!

The immortal doing this to get the murderer to confess: Gotcha

But that plotline is resolved with hometown ex, the returning character, and the worried boyfriend starting a poly relationship. Or continue the on started by the program when it realized it was hurting the three by causing cheating. Just spitball ideas

Can make that part of the story about the maker's connections to people being rebuilt. The program gets treated like the child it is. The bad hallmark trope leads to the character that did the whole "find old boyfriend in town" do that because the program used the trope as reference.

I like it. I'd say there is at least one wholesome level of hypno where someone tries to make what looks like a mind virus forcing holiday cheer. But in reality the maker only wanted to use it on himself to remember holiday cheer in his youth. But his program becomes semi self aware and spreads.

only if the cage is padded and you have a blanket. Cozy cage.

the spiral compelled them to reveal their true feelings about the one closest to them. These best friends never dared to believe their romantic love could be returned. Mind it was meant for the group three computers down to start a fight. But a win is a win.

A surprise fourth option that leaves your body tranced but your mind projected creating a hive mind of thralls? As a treat.

I mean if I cause this to happen, will I get the secret of Gummi berry juice?

More amazing hybrid costume/puppetry stuff.

Suspension-of-disbelief level: even the cameraman points to stuff and interacts as if the character can see anything. 💯

What if this but werewolf?

Hmm but what if accidental belly maw tf, but thoughts ad voice all go about hunger?
