Glad you switched it off. I've read a lot of stories of people playing Senua and having a mental breakdown over associating her with themselves or relatives. Ultimately, not the best way to reconnect with your family. The worst way.

I stopped playing it after fear of me myself having something akin to it. There are mental illnesses running in my family and I'm afraid I have some chances to play Senua IRL. 'Tis why I don't even try to get a gun license. It's safer that way.
