• Braindance is a recording of somebody else's experience and lets you live through their memories.
• Their sights, smell, sounds, everything will be experienced by you through Braindance.
• In an extended gameplay preview, the V was shown living through the memory of someone else's robbery on a grocery store.
• In an analysis mode, V was able to explore the same scene but this time as an observer. They could move a camera around and analyze the memory from a new perspective.
• It's almost like a detective mode.
• Braindance was created in UC Santa Cruz (go Banana Slugs!) as a therapy method.
• It was later used for more carnal thrills.
• There are negative side-effects like Flatlining where someone can die while Braindancing.
• CD Projekt Red says Braindance will be an important storytelling device to explore the world's history, philosophy, and different factions.
