Games that temporarily messed with your brain?

[Legend]

I played Sleeping Dogs during spring break or summer break or something and just binged it over a few days. After that the first time I drove was odd. I knew I was supposed to drive on the right side of the road, but it felt wrong. My brain had totally switched gears from playing the game and wanted me to continue driving on the left. It didn't matter that I was playing in 3rd person with a controller, my brain still equated it to real world driving.


Only other example I can think of is Life is Strange. The time mechanic in that game was really awesome and became a "habit" of sorts. Well towards the end of the game it really ingrained itself in my brain. During breakfast on one of those days I said a joke that was lame and no one liked. Instinctively just for a quick second I moved my arm and tried to reverse time. Again the game is just played with a controller but my brain fused it with the real life version.


Can't recall this happening to me with any other games so it seems pretty rare, but have you ever experienced stuff like this?

When I finished the Witcher 3 (for the first time) I felt like I I had a relationship end. Didn't help that I got almost all the worst possible endkngs.

When I finished red dead redemption I was SO pissed that I had to just search online to see what people thought. I found the secret ending which helped a little lol.
