Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, the first game in the series, was released in 2017 and quickly gained critical acclaim for its portrayal of mental illness, particularly psychosis, through its protagonist Senua, a Pict warrior. Using innovative audio design and narrative techniques, the game aimed to immerse players in Senua's perception of reality, blurring the lines between her hallucinations and the world of Norse mythology and Viking conquest she inhabits. Developed by the Cambridge-based Ninja Theory, the game marked a significant step forward in addressing mental health issues in video games, earning praise for its empathetic and accurate representation.
