Have you heard of or played Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice? It's an action-adventure game that took ambitious steps in exploring mental health and psychosis. Senua, a warrior struggling with psychosis, must not only overcome physical challenges, but also those presented by her mind.

The award-winning game was a hit. But it also proved to the team that there was a place, as well as a need, for more games that carefully represented mental health

I wonder what your thoughts are on the representation of mental health in the video game, and how it best correlates to the struggles of real life challenges.

Thank you for your response!

Celeste is an amazing game, albeit quite difficult at times. I certainly see what you mean regarding dealing with mental health in a positive way. Senua's Sacrifice is more horror themed, and tends to lean on the darker sides of mental health. I can't claim to know much about the topic, but I understand more now given your insight.

I appreciate your response and incorporating a different game into an example, since you hadn't played Hellblade.
