I wanted to teach myself how to spot manipulation through immersion like Duolingo style. Eventually I evolved some methods into a game and course. Going through these I've been able to spot and name conversation situations faster without blaming people for things they might not even know that they are doing. I'd love some feedback on if you think these things can advance conversational cognitive abilities. People have liked the game so far and I'm turning it into it's own app.

I'd love any feedback like if it's too hard, not hard enough, fun/not fun, etc. Originally I wanted to just send myself text messages everyday that could teach me how to learn 1 confirmation bias a day. After a ton of different ideas and things that I made,

I thought a game where you fight but it trains you in talking awareness would be interesting. I'm not just catching different forms of manipulation but also able to name types that I didn't quite notice before that were happening so the time.

An archive game built on real declassified CIA documents (the documents are genuine; the game around them is not)

Creator post — I made this, happy to answer anything that isn't a spoiler. My personal identification is not part of the game. Just saying, because I'm not hard to find for people searching hard.

ANNEX7 is a "declassification portal" built on the CIA's real Stargate collection — the remote-viewing program the agency declassified and put in its FOIA reading room. Every document in play is genuine and the game only ever links you to the real thing on cia.gov. The fiction is the archive around them: you sign on as a Volunteer, earn clearance tiers, and the trials send you into actual declassified pages to find real facts (which are verified server-side — and assigned per-player, so leaked answers won't help you).

Mechanics you'll recognize: ciphers, steganography, zero-width watermark tracing (the portal watermarks its own text — if your "leaked" answer surfaces in a Discord, the game can name who copied it), a credential-tracing network where strangers finding your fragment is itself a mechanic, and a public registry/leaderboard.

Fair warnings, honestly given: it's free to play through the top public tier; the final standing deliberately can't be reached by a person acting alone; and there is at least one thing in the game that no one has found. I won't be confirming what.

Out-of-game disclosure is on the site — real documents, real history, fictional archive. I'll be in the comments.
