Playing this game in the darkness with headphones is an unforgettable experience. I'll hopefully never know what it's like to suffer from psychosis, but I don't think there is anything that comes closer.
...and I just read that they added VR support. Holy shit.
She was a great friend, with an unfortunate circumstance. If you ever, within your lifetime, become well acquainted with someone who has either schizophrenia or psychosis, remember the person underneath the struggle as they face a constant battle in their heads. I hope mental health support gets better, and it is, however in my experience there is little support for the lasting effects of abuse as it's mostly surface level things - my local NHS hospital has claimed there is no specialist for CPTSD in my area of London, at all (and not everyone is in the position to pay out of pocket, especially when my friend was already staying at sheltered accommodation).
Many issues in society can be fixed with proper mental health support, I'm just hoping that gets here soon.
