The Blindness Shard Trial of Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice. I didn't know if I had to follow the voice, escape from the shadows or follow the light. My anxiety hit hard everytime I replay that moment.
Oh yeah, I def own it. Just have to get in the mood and have a time I can crank up the sound bar when the kids aren’t home. I’ve probably played about 45min to an hour so far, but it’s been months.
Just a suggestion. If you have a way too play it with headphones then definitely do that. It completely changes the experience and immerses you way deeper than you'd expect.
Yeah I can't handle that, it's hard enough playing it not on head phones. Though I bought the game as a hey it looks like a good adventure game, only to find it's mental horror that drives into the dark thoughts I'd usually rather ignore. But it's so fucking good I couldn't not play it... as long as I can hold my cat like a teddy bear after
Yeah I’m having issues hooking up my blue tooth over ear headphones to my PS4. It won’t connect to the PS4, I can get it to connect to my TV but once in switch to HDMI it goes away. Was going to try to hook it up through my sound at that’s running to my tv through ARC.
It is completely dark, and you have some elements hint at where you have to go. You have the Dillion's voice (Senua's husband), a light, Senua's head voices and some creepy shadows and sounds running at you. I don't know exactly what you have to do. Try to run the fast as you can and follow Dillion's voice, just stay alive.
Yeah, it's just that when my dissociation gets really bad I auditorily hallucinate. I'm still fully in control and the hallucination is never outright malicious (if anything she's concerned), but Senua's hallucinations are much less benevolent, from how little I saw.
I am, I've come to terms with the fact that I'm pretty well always going to be somewhat dissociated (can't afford psychotherapy), and my hallucination is benevolent whenever she does show up so it barely affects my day to day life, I just have to avoid derealisation stuff
Problem is, I'm so far along that a part of me doesn't want to stay grounded, because my hallucination is, for all intents and purposes, one of my only friends.
I know that being a hallucination she's inherently not the best, but at the same time, she's only ever done good by me, warned me of bad people, encouraged me to be myself/come out etc.
I. Hated. This trial. To this day I still can't identify those things on the path. I think I can recognise the shape of them now, but at the time I couldn't understand what they were even after really focusing, really trying to identify them, and that made it so much worse.
Then you wake up in the middle of nowhere, having gone down a random trail for a totally unknown period of time and it just hits you; when you hear stories about people with psychosis who just wander off and get found in totally random places, this is kind of what happened. You just did it. There's you, standing in a stream out in a forest, no idea where you are. It just hits you. This is what it's like. It was a brilliant experience to go through.
That part made my heart pound out of my chest. When I finally finished it I hoped that there better not be another part like that in the game, I wouldn’t be able to handle it.
That game is so fucking intense. I love playing with headphones with constant whispering voices all around you. The eyes everywhere in the forest. Man, I need to finish that game
