From Wikipedia: "Journey to Wild Divine was a biofeedback video game system promoting stress management and overall wellness through the use of breathing, meditation and relaxation exercises. The graphics and interface resemble the graphic adventure video game Myst. The designers refer to the product as biofeedback software considering it an entertaining training tool for mind and body health, rather than a game.

The first program in the series, The Journey To Wild Divine: The Passage, comes with a USB-based biofeedback reader. The device attaches to three fingers, and measures heart rate variability and skin conductance level. Heart rate variability measures the amount of variability between heartbeats, which has been reported to be associated with various pathologic conditions. Skin conductance level indicates the amount of perspiration on the skin surface, which is a measure of stress in the body.

In The Journey To Wild Divine: The Passage, users navigate through a series of adventures in a video-game type interface.

The user must adjust these levels in their body to move through the game. The purpose is to develop meditation skills and to gain greater control of unconscious bodily processes by observing and reacting to the changes in the game's various activities, which reflect the body's current state.

The second title in this series is The Journey To Wild Divine: Wisdom Quest. Wisdom Quest also utilizes the same proprietary biofeedback hardware. It retains the same game format while building on the adventure game format."
