The six Game DNA attributes describe games. They do not sense a visitor's mood, prescribe a game, or create a psychological profile. Their purpose is to make differences inside broad categories easier to compare.
Stamina
Stamina rises when a game expects longer rounds, repeated input, or sustained attention. It can help distinguish a continuing management loop from a one-minute timing challenge. It does not measure physical fitness.
Mental
Mental covers planning, memory, route reading, sequencing, and resource management. Sudoku, sorting puzzles, and tower defense can score highly for different reasons. A high value is not an intelligence rating.
Reaction
Reaction describes short timing windows, fast obstacle changes, aiming precision, or repeated directional input. A runner may score higher than an untimed card game. The score does not claim to train reflexes.
Luck
Luck records how strongly random layouts, drops, spawns, or outcomes affect a round. High Luck does not mean skill is irrelevant; it means the player may need to adapt to information that was not fully predictable.
Healing
Healing is the name of a low-pressure editorial axis. Slower pace, reversible moves, mild failure, and no timer can raise it. It is not a statement that a game treats stress, anxiety, or any health condition.
Social
Social rises for verified cooperation, competition, shared-screen play, or meaningful interaction with other people. Bots and a multiplayer-looking presentation are not enough by themselves.
Using the sliders
Set the sliders for the session you want now, not for a permanent identity. The result page compares your values with the catalog's editorial scores and orders similar profiles. Then check controls, orientation, and gameplay details before launching.
The Game DNA Lab is one discovery route. Categories, search, and individual game pages remain equally important when a single set of six numbers cannot capture every mechanic.
