PSYCHO
A downloadable simulation
A brief recreation/simulation of a fairly severe psychotic episode akin to one experienced by someone with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or any other psychotic disorder. This simulation obviously only recreates symptoms experienced by one specific person (the developer)- other people with psychosis may experience completely different ones. Hallucinations, whether they're visual, auditory, or tactile, can present themselves in an infinite number of different forms that can be incomprehensible to others.
I can't quite fully convey what delusion exactly feels like, since I don't think the feeling can even be described in words, but this seems somewhat accurate for me. Just try to imagine genuinely not being able to tell which of the things you see and hear are real and which aren't. Imagine your brain convincing and fully manipulating you into believing that the things you can logically identify as hallucinations now are actually part of your reality, and that you have no reason to even doubt that.
There is no goal in the game besides walking around and experiencing the episode. The longer you play, the worse it gets. It will never end, the only way to win or lose is by quitting.

Enjoyed your simulator, if enjoy is the right word. Graphics were beautiful and it was strangely mellow despite all the strange hallucinations. I liked that certain doors had different sounds and it always sounded like everyone was talking about you or enjoying life without you. Great experience, thanks for creating :)

Hellow there creator. I played your game and it was pretty good. But the sounds where pretty loud. Even voices came into left and right in my ear. Was really strange but good. Anyway here is my gameplay of your game. ENJOY!! (it starts on 4:56)
This was a good atmospheric experience! I expected more gameplay, but it still did a great job of conveying its message. Here's my playthrough:
Hi there, I am a youtuber and I hope to get some support from you guys by leaving a like and subscribe at my channel.
Personally, I do like the visions and the constant ringing of negative comments and a phone creates an increasing sense of anxiety in the player. I think that the game can be improved by making it an endless road proceeding in one direction instead or allowing us to enter our house when we hear the phone ringing but we realised that the noises come from our head and not from the houses. As time passes, maybe the visions can become more frightening and terrifying and more personal to the player as time passes. I really want to see more fear and tense atmosphere in the game in the future and of course, more interaction with the surroundings and more gameplay XD.
Thank you for reading my comment!
