Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

"In blindness there can be wisdom; only by giving, can you receive in return."

"What is she thinking? I can tell you. She is afraid. Wouldnt you be? Youd think she would get used to it by now after so many years. But the darkness...it just builds onto itself, growing stronger, towering over her. You might try and ignore it, turn away, but its always there just out of sight, where you are most vulnerable. Its like it knows that just enough light...is all you need to see its suffocating power."

"You might think shes brave to go on this journey on her own. But it isnt bravery that drives her. Bravery only means something to those afraid of death. Senuas fear runs far, far deeper."

"The worst kind comes without warning, a deep and primal signal from within. A reminder that just because you cannot see the threat, it doesnt mean that its not already here."

"The further she saw into the darkness, the more she struggled to see anything at all."

"This is the price she pays for seeing things differently. Because once you gaze into the relentless darkness, all that lurks within it can see you too."

"Stormy seas and lost souls. Shes dreamt of this before... They say dreams are visions of our memories, thoughts and fears as seen by our . But what if each one of us is always dreaming even when awake? And we only see what our inner eye creates for us? Is this what Hel is? A world shaped by Senuas nightmares? Maybe thats why people feared seeing the world through her eyes. Because if you believe Senuas reality is twisted, you must also accept yours might be too."

"Look around and you will see them. The drowned, the sick, the slain. Here they lie, rotting in the field and river of Hel. But the dead dont always lie still here. This is not a place of rest."

"The darkness is coming. It yearns for life, hungers for it - like a pack of wolves on a hunt. But shes not stopping. Not this time."

"A vision, of whats to come? Poor Senua. The darkness does not bargain. It does not reason. It is rot. And now it has taken hold, it will spread towards her head, the seat of the soul, until there is nothing left of her. All of her suffering will have been for nothing. Its just a matter of time."

"When darkness speaks, it changes everything, turning home into a foreign land and loved ones into strangers. Exile makes sense when you realise that you were never really home in the first place."

"[first lines] Hello, who are you? ...It doesnt matter. Welcome. You are safe with me. Ill be right here, nice and close so I can speak without alerting the others. Let me tell you about Senua. Her story has already come to an end but now, it begins anew. This is a journey deep into darkness. There will be no more stories after this one."
