Any tips to enjoy Hellblade

My friend bought me Hellblade (videogame) without realising I would find it triggering (main character has psychosis).

I want to enjoy it but I find the sound design / voices really stressful.

When I rationalise it I realise theres nothing to be afraid of. But when I play it I feel really overwhelmed with anxiety/stress.

Any tips?
Should I just listen to my body and not play it?

Not that I know. I bought it on sale, played about an hour, got triggered, and haven’t touched it since.

Good luck dude, I hear it’s a great game, just not for me.

I have hellblade but I haven’t played it yet, but I’ve wanted too. I own 139 games on steam that I bought on sale and there are a bunch I haven’t played yet. Now I feel overwhelmed and don’t play any, lol. That doesn’t include games I’ve bought on Origin, Ubisoft Connect, or GOG, or just from the store in a box, lol

There’s two of the games, the sequel is on next gen systems. I’ve heard great things about the gameplay, don’t know much about the story.
