Senua is the lead protagonist in the game Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, in which she ventures on a spirit quest through Viking mythology to find Hela, goddess of the underworld to reclaim her lovers spirit after he was sacrificed by Viking invaders on her island. Psychosis defines a large portion of Senuas' actions, as her gameplay is constantly commentated by "furies", auditory hallucinations caused by Senuas' mental illness. This is a highly acclaimed part of her character portrayal and the game as a whole, made possible by feedback from people who suffer from pychosis and the Wellcome trust consulting for the game.
