Dopamine
Games

Playful takes on the apps that hook us — the ones built to keep you tapping. Each Dopamine game borrows that loop and hands it back as something harmless and free. NeverFeeds is in open beta today; NeverStays and NeverHire are early 4-town prototypes; NeverFly is an even earlier one-route prototype.

About the collection

The Dopamine games are small experiments about the pull of everyday apps — delivery, booking, scrolling — rebuilt as games where the "purchase" never happens and the only thing you walk away with is the satisfaction and a tally of what you saved.

NeverFeeds is the first and furthest along, playable as an open-beta browser preview today. The other three are early, hand-built prototypes, each testing the loop before going further: a hotel/travel spin (NeverStays) and a car-hire spin (NeverHire), both with 4 towns; and a flight-booking spin (NeverFly) with a single route, Melbourne ↔ Sydney, to see the loop and the branding before any route-network design work happens.
