The depiction of mental illness here is not good and gets in the way of a lot of the aesthetic stuff that is good. This is not a game that is empathetic to mental illness, it is one that gawks at it, as you can best see with the decision to lie about your save file being at risk. Tricks like this and the 3D voices are here to simulate sensations, not to induce empathy. A stellar performance from the lead actress and incredible art design save this from being an outright wreck, but this could be so much more if the writer leaned into what it does right and away from what they think is an "educational" psychosis simulator. I felt even worse about this after watching the included documentary.
