If I had a nickel for every indie video game set in the past about a young woman with psychosis from a Arctic civilization who goes on a harrowing journey of self-discovery while contending with her religious beliefs
I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
One day I'll have the proper data base and screenshots to prove that Senua is, a matter of fact, Alan Wake's greatest grandmother.
Hear me out and bear with me till the end it's fruiting I promise, they are so similar in terms of psychosis, and the whole idea of getting away from Darkness and staying in the Light
Their immense love to their partner.
The nordic background and symbolism
Their evil self/doppelganger
and of course their higher mental abilities in solving puzzles and cracking codes.
Everyone who played both games feels that they're the same person but can't quite explain how.
Senua pushes away a world that conspired to cause so much suffering. There is nothing to go back to and worse to look forward to. Why don't you join us? Maybe you too have a part to play in this story.
