Why gaming?
Studios are looking to create experiences that stay with their players.
A common criticism of many games is that they are ‘just like watching a film’.
Games allow players to modify many of a character’s physical attributes, but there is also much about our inner worlds that is ripe for exploration.
Unlocking inner worlds
At InnerScape we ask: do you take your own mind into the game world, or do you have the opportunity to experience a different kind of mind while there?
Our expertise is helping design teams to unlock the inner worlds of their characters through creatively engaging with the science of inner experience.
As well as having the potential to create new, interesting and memorable takes on the gaming experience, our work has real-world implications for accessibility, mental health, neurodiversity and sensory inclusion.
Our work
Game development studio Ninja Theory worked with our experts in developing Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice.
You can find out more about how we helped to shape the depiction of voice-hearing in the game in this development diary episode.
