Debris is a two-person narrative co-op game that portrays psychosis in a respectful and empathetic way. One player unknowingly undergoes symptoms of psychosis (including hallucinations and systematized delusions), and the other does not. They need to find a way to navigate and reconcile their diverging realities to make it out alive. Although the implicit narrative and underwater setting are designed to immerse players (figuratively and literally), the real gameplay and story emerges from how players choose to navigate and communicate the differences in their experiences.
