Braid Video Game Rocks TIME In A Very COOL Way, Could ECOM?

Braid Video Game Rocks TIME In A Very COOL Way, Could ECOM? | Must Play | Scoop.it

If you don't know Braid check out this great movie on Netflix:

Braid played with TIME providing a rewind tool. Very cool idea and one I can't help but wonder if it could help ecommerce. It is easy to get lost in ecom these days. What if we could rewind by levels.

So a short rewind might be equal to a single back link, where a moderate might be back three clicks. As long as we are in there manipulating time could we create a "rewind with benefits" feature where our algorithms rewind a customer to where they seem to want to really be going or to find what they seem to be trying to find.

Cool idea and cool game.

The video game industry is worth more than $100bn worldwide, so it's no surprise that businesses are using gamification to try to boost sales.

Great examples of gamification and ecommerce here ALL new to me. I continue to believe our websites are about to become more like video games and this excellent article is just another brick in that dam.

By the Quebecois indie studio Red Barrels, Outlast will be called a “horror” game, which is technically right, but also totally insufficient in the context of other horror games.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Love this idea since it sells itself much like the Blair Witch Project.
