Videogame about schizophrenia

There’s a new game on PS4 and PC called Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice.

It’s about a Viking woman with psychosis and in the game you see and experience what it’s like to hear voices and the like. It’s getting really great reviews!

The developers consulted mental health professionals and sufferers whilst they were making the game.

I am going to play it over the weekend. I will post impressions and maybe someone else on the forums wants to give it a try.

Here are some links about it:

www.hellblade.com

The video might be triggering to some perhaps.

It’s averaging 9/10 on steam reviews and is apparently a contender for game of the year.

Anyone played it or planning to?

I’ll post impressions once I’ve started it.

In the game she hears voices and the player hears them too, it seems pretty cool

Plus the graphics are phenomenal for a game without a high AAA budget.

It seems like a real shift compared to typical video games

He was the first person I actually just sat down and watched play a video game lol My friend from another website posted him back in like 2015 or 2014 when he played Life is Strange. I was still a little delusional at the time because I told everyone I beat the game :point_right::point_right: I never actually beat the game :joy:

I don’t know if I want anything to do with that game. I am prone to the “phantom” hallucinations where you might feel your phone buzzing in your pocket. I get that a lot and I see the little notification on this website when I view it threw my phone. If watch this game I might get nonstop voices.

Here are search results on some threads on the forum about this game, going back to 2015 when the game was still under development. Good to see the game is now available.
