Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for deploying game-based therapy correlated with, but independent from, an executing game program. In general, game content within a display can be improved with an overlay of visual therapeutic content such as a visual indicator of a current emotional or physiological state, along with visual features or effects that alter game difficulty. A variety of visual effects can usefully be integrated with third-party game content with requiring direct computation access to the executing game code. For example, effects such as dimming, fading, pixelating, or fogging can be rendered within active regions of a game window independently from, but correlated with the visual content of, the current game. This is suitable for delivering treatment for a range of cognitive and similar disorders and permits rendering of user-specific therapeutic content in combination with third-party games and gaming platforms.
