Synopsis

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice draws inspiration from Celtic and Norse mythology to tell the story of Senua, a young woman and a Celtic warrior. The game mixes hack-and-slash action sequences with environment-based puzzle-solving and story sequences in equal measure. She suffers from psychosis, which causes her to hear voices, see illusions and often live in constant fear. Next to her mental illness there is also a darkness that haunts her, a source of power, but also something that affects and is shared by family members such as her father and mother, and her lover Dillion.

Almost all game elements and the way the story is told tie into the effects of psychosis, which was researched and implemented into the game with the support of both professionals in psychiatry and people who have experienced psychosis.
