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.

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 developer is highly active on Reddit and Discord and really knows their stuff. The app is backed by extensive research, and footnotes reference real scientific studies. The team behind it is well connected in the field of brain and consciousness research, so this isn’t just a creative experiment,it’s something grounded in evidence. Each mode has its own personality, shifting from serene, meditative stillness to subtle, energizing rhythms (I found the strobing to be particularly effective. Though be warned if you have epilepsy or other conditions that are sensitive to this). It made the experience feel like a guided journey through different mental states rather than a conventional “VR experience” to check off a list. What truly caught me off guard, though, was what followed for myself (I understand this is incredibly subjective). The night I first used this app I had the most vivid, lucid dream I’ve experienced since childhood. I found myself starting at home, effortlessly flying out of the window and gliding through my city. Objects bent and reshaped in my hands without breaking, as if reality itself was flexible. At one point I flew into my local cathedral, which had an impossible, dreamlike geometry inside that I can’t properly articulate, most likely inspired by the app itself. I didn’t want to wake up, I was having an incredible time, but the alarm dragged me back to reality and off to work. I can’t explain it, and I’m not claiming miracles (it may be a coincidence) but the experience was undeniably uncanny. If nothing else, I hope I stumble into that level of lucidity again. At its modest price, it’s absolutely worth giving it a try. I wholeheartedly recommend it. If you’re willing to keep an open mind and simply switch off for a while, you’ll almost certainly benefit from the effects this app offers. Who knows? You might even find yourself drifting into a lucid dream of your own.

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 audience just wanting to relax/chill. If you're already a Psychonaut then Brain Candy tastes delicious. Just be careful though because it is far more intense than a review can convey.

WOW. This app feels like if Realms of Flow and Tripp had a baby—on steroids. It absolutely nails what both those apps were trying to achieve, but with way more depth and impact. Watching the promo video doesn’t even begin to capture the experience. As a meditation app connoisseur who’s tried pretty much everything on the market, I can confidently say nothing touches this—especially if you're looking to relax, focus, recharge, or go full-on psychedelic. It’s seriously trippy. Once you’re inside, it feels like the kaleidoscope visuals are wrapping around you, and the sound moves in waves—completely immersive and beyond description. There’s a huge variety of sessions, and each “brain candy” does exactly what it promises. At $9.99, it's a steal—especially while it's still in early access. Honestly, it could charge double and still be worth every penny. This isn’t something you can describe—it’s something you have to feel. Major props to the developers… keep the Brain Candy coming, because I’ve definitely got a sweet tooth for this. 🍭🌀

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!
