Past psychosis sufferer

[BOOYAKAAA]

I used to suffer from psychosis & paranoia which led to depression. I have been on medication to control all that for the last few years and I really want to buy this after watching the BAFTA'S last night.

My question is will this game trigger me?

Any psychotic people past or present playing this? And how does it make you feel?

Also, Congrats on your BAFTA awards!

Honestly, i don't think it will. My case is similar and i consider this game as a masterpiece. In the game there are no heavy psychedelic scenes, like you know, no extra-negative senseless crap. The game is built with care and warm attention to people like us and i swear - you gonna love Senua. If you like scandinavian mythology - it's even better. Watch this trailer before making final decision.

I suffered some minor triggering effects during a few scenes but I simply put the game down and came back to it later with no lasting trouble. It can get intense or frustrating at times but it's a game so you can always come back to it if it becomes too much. It really is a piece of art and something every gamer who suffers from mental illness should play; it's nice to see the subject handled with such respect.

Ask to your doctor. anything can trigger your problem, or nothing. It depends on you and no one else.

It very well could. Especially at the end of the game. It gets worse as you move on.

I would love to know, is this game in any way an accurate portrayal of psychosis? Or simply an 'imagining' or interpretation of the condition? It's hard for me to understand as sombody who has never encountered such a condition.

@The Pizza Man you can't create accurate portrayal of psychosis as a lot of experiences are different. Symptoms are shown though. When you play it - it feels real. Making you not only understand but feel it.

A few things to note here. One is that just about every way psychosis is portrayed in this game is heavily based on real sufferers experiences. I would very definitely say it's entirely possible it could trigger someone. Another thing is that the entire game was shown to those who they interviewed about their various experiences with psychosis and was praised by all of them.

I can't say I suffer from psychosis.....but I relate to this character more than any character in any game I have ever played. I am not exactly "normal" and do have a never ending argument going on in my mind at all times between my different personalities/emotions. It is no fun.

This game relieved me of an inner battle I didn't even know I was still going through. I have played it 7 times and it is easily in my top 5 favorite games.....ever.

I can't speak for the accuracy of how they depict someone with psychosis but, to me, it hit home. It hit home hard. And from what I read they did a very good job depicting someone who suffers from psychosis.

I believe this game would be more theraputic than anything else. It was for me. Cured the worst writers block I have ever had.

Although I can imagine there is at least a possibility it could trigger something. You are in the mind of someone who hears voices all around her, all the time, for hours on end.

I don't believe it will trigger you, however I am not you and cannot know. You are in 3rd person so that does distance yourself from the protagonist, however the game uses binoral audio which makes the voices seem real which can be avoided by using speakers instead of headphones
