Question 1

What is Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions?

Accepted Answer

It is a model proposed by psychologist Robert Plutchik in 1980. Eight primary emotions are arranged in a circle with opposing emotions facing each other. Adjacent pairs combine into "dyad" emotions: joy + trust = love, fear + surprise = awe, sadness + disgust = remorse, and so on. Each primary emotion also has a more intense and a milder form.

Question 2

How are the four game modes different?

Accepted Answer

Combo-to-components (easy): given "Love", pick "Joy + Trust". Components-to-combo (medium): given "Joy + Trust", pick "Love". Intensity up (hard): given "Joy", pick its intense form "Ecstasy". Intensity down (hard): given "Joy", pick its mild form "Serenity".

Question 3

How many emotion combinations are there?
