the first game was quite ingenious. Not so from a gaming perspective, but storytelling. You can read statistics, maybe have relatives or known ones suffer from it, but to (come close to) experience how it might feel or how the world might look to someone suffering from psychosis, play this game. That set against the backdrop of old norse mythology was something else I never experienced before and I game for some 15 years or so. If this would be made into a movie, it would actually be a loss, because that interactive experience, which makes the experience, is totally lost. This was one of the games that made me realize that as a cultural phenomenon, games certainly stand alone from TV, movies and literature. And yet is still smiled upon. We have nobel laureates, we have movie stars and also games get more and more attention, but to see them culturally worthy to literature and movies is still a ways off in my view, at least in the mainstream audience. Games obviously very well should be up there with them.

One of my top 10 games. It was developed in association with schizophrenia patients as staff and touches on what it’s like for them. The voices constantly berate, belittle and at times help Senua. The deep voice you hear is that of her father who kept Senua locked up and told her that her condition was punishment from the gods. She is on a journey to the underworld to try and reclaim her murdered lovers life, Dillon, who saw Senua for the person she is rather than her affliction.

They should have prepared you for this trailer, letting you know at the least, that Senua is a viking warrior, and that you share her journey into paranoid schizophrenia, in a time when Northmen invade and destroy her village, killing her lover. At least you would understand all the voices speaking about her and too her. Obviously the second trailer she has gone through a lot. It truly is an intense gaming experience.

There's evidence of how great the game is via the awards it won. So people will buy it out of curiosity and eventually on their own figure it out. The Devs want you to feel how high the stakes are...

The symbol at the end of the second trailer is the Norse compas. Symbol of protection and guidance. The song is old, very old, older then the vikings. It's a modern rendition of a Germanic tribal chant that one tribe came up with when they went toe to toe with the Roman legions. The Germans back then were a different animal all together, personally I think the vikings would have been scared shitless by the germanic tribes and the picts. They were the truest definition of barbarian. Minor add on, translation of the song is that a shaman, earliz, runemaster and servant of Odin calls upon the invocation of the prayer or runes to aid their army in battle. This is a small segment of the song wich is essentially an acceptance of a call to battle and calling upon wodin, proto Odin essentially that's how old this is, to favor them in battle. In other word she's praying in ancient German and has taken up the role of shaman, master or the runes. Fitting for a girl who traveled to the vikings version of hell, met their devil, and returned.
