Some Eternal Darkness Insanity effects **SPOILERS***
This is from IGN.
I was playing as Doctor Roivas in the 18th century. He was exploring an early version of the
Roivas mansion, which centuries later main character Alex would also find herself braving. He
had fled one too many monsters and he was going quite insane. He was mumbling to himself, looking around crazily, when it happened. I opened a door to the next room, stepped through, and the ground below seemed to have changed drastically. Then it hit me -- it wasn't the floor
at all. The mansion had turned completely upside down and I was standing on the ceiling. The
camera began to tilt and warp, and then the screen flashed and the hallucination was over.
Again, playing as the doctor and going even madder, I stepped out of a room into black and
white, with a white mist rolling across the mansion. The camera began to tilt, shooting the
action from a very odd angle, and I knew that something was definitely up. A moment later the
screen flashed and I was back in the previous room, full color restored.
Closer to present day, I was playing as an archeologist on a dig. I had discovered a hidden city in the jungles, but had also encountered too many monsters. My character, armed with a rifle,
egan talking to himself crazily, not making much sense. I stepped through a doorway into the
next room and the hero was gone from sight. He just wasn't there. An undead monstrosity
stood in the middle of the room, moaning. I moved the analog stick and the zombie walked -- I
had become it. I controlled the disgusting thing for a few moments before it fell to its death, the
screen flashed, and my character was back in the previous room -- still quite insane.
I was playing as a character in the time of Charlemagne, his job to save the king from an
untimely death. I was wandering about, minding my own business, when the television I was
playing on turned off. It just snapped out completely. The fellow sitting next to me actually got up out of his chair to turn it back on, but before he could the screen flashed -- it was a
hallucination -- and I was back at play.
In this same time era, I came back into a room that was previous empty and now zombies
populated the stairs directly in my path. I hit them with a torch and noticed that their image
swayed with my swipes -- they weren't really there, it was just a hallucination.
I was playing as the archeologist, who had been reduced to a blubbering fool. He stepped into a
hallway and all of the zombies -- previously large and menacing -- had been transformed into
insect-sized versions of their former selves. I made my character step on each of them, and
noticed that they screamed as blood poured out from underneath my foot. Even before I could
finish stomping them all, the hallucination was over, and the beasts were once again restored to
their normal sizes.
