This Game is best played with headphones.
About:
SCHIZO is a psychological horror game about exploring a character's mind with Schizophrenia and a remake of my previous game Man of Misery, which was also about the same character, only this time it's a much better experience.
Information about Schizophrenia was collected from articles on the internet and medical websites, videos, psychology books, my psychology teacher, friends, and communities, and asking people with schizophrenia including reading about their episodes. This game mixes up some of those episodes.
You've returned home and are ready to sleep, but it starts getting weird before going to bed. You lay down on your bed and sink into your mind trying to find bliss, only to enter the wrong part of your brain and get stuck in the hole with no point of return...
Average time to beat: about 20-25 minutes
Controls:
- WASD: Movement
- E: Interaction
- F: Turn the flashlight ON/OFF (not in the House)
- Mouse: Camera Movement

SCHIZO v1.2.3:
This is the most stable and playable version and the last update to the game. To everyone who played and loved the game, to everyone who took it as a message, as an eye-opening experience, from all my heart I say...
Thank you.
PS: Schizophrenia is a severe disorder. I am not trying to use it as a promotion for my game. This game is supposed to give you some information about it. You may say "It's not accurate" but am not showing it in a bad light. Peace.

Wow! What an amazing game! It was so creepy! 10/10 would recomend.
By far the most UNSETTLING horror game I've played...
aguante random life
Nice Game!! It scares me hahah
welp, this was a thing alright
mi problema es que no lo pude jugar ya que cada vez que lo descargaba me decia (error prohibido). seria genial poder jugarlo sin tener que descargarlo
This game was well put together, and had all the elements of a great game. I can't believe there's people who live with this (I don't mean that in a bad way. That's a lot of strength in my opinion, even if they don't realize it).
Such a creepy but powerful game, I loved it! I also loved how intricate and detailed it was and the fact that you put in so much research into this, I commend you! This is my video of it, please check it out.
THIS WAS SO SCARY!!! I really really enjoyed the game, you had me clutching at my blanket for comfort!! LOL. here's my gameplay~
INSANE INSANE INSANE INSANE MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP

es juego muy bien hecho para ser muy corto
This was Super Creepy keep up the good work
Truly an amazing game, couldn't help but feel emotional at the end. Really felt like I understand schizophrenia better now. Keep up the good work.
Hey, amazing experience, I enjoyed the journey a lot. The horror was effective as well as illuminating for the symptoms of the disease, in which you can't escape or stop what's happening. I liked the sections with the questions/images and the quote at the end was a bright, hopeful touch. Loved the graphics and the pacing, thanks so much :)
really good game, keep it up!
but please, make sure the carpets don't collide with my feet, because it bugged and I kept randomly jumping on the roof...
Thank you for playing. Glad to hear.
This game's older version had multiple bugs. Some were fixed, but others (nothing game-breaking or too annoying) required some things to be rebuilt from the ground up. All will be avoided in the next game.
ok, i am really happy that the bugs i said will be fixed, thank you :)
can't wait for the next game!
Karbonated, this was truly one of the best game's I've ever played, outperforming the majority of mainstream console games I've played since 1998 to right now. It is terrifying but in such a way because it is something that is very REAL. It also brought tears to my eyes because of several very close people to me who have this mental illness. Tragic, horrific, incredibly deep, and overall, a masterpiece. Thank you for your contribution to the world, more people should experience this game to understand, connect, and comfort others.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I appreciate what you said. Glad it made some people emotional. Please take good care of yourself and your loved ones. <3
Absolutely awesome! Great job!
Nice game! Put on my channel :)
love it thank you
it was interesting...
Fun game with good length, great job :)
I really enjoyed this game, am glad to have been able to enjoy such a unique game.
I had recorded and uploaded my gameplay with a friend both of us reacting and we loved it.
