Photosensitive Seizure Warning
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching video games.
GloomDelve is a game full of spells, explosions, and lightning, so it absolutely contains flashing lights, quick colour changes, and high-contrast effects that could trigger such seizures.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including:
- Light-headedness, dizziness, or disorientation
- Altered vision, eye or face twitching
- Jerking or shaking of arms or legs
- Confusion, momentary loss of awareness
- Loss of consciousness or convulsions
If you experience any of these symptoms, stop playing immediately and consult a doctor. Seizures can also lead to injury from falling or striking nearby objects.
Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms; children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
Reduce Your Risk
None of this is complicated, and all of it helps:
- Play in a well-lit room.
- Sit or stand as far from the screen as comfortably possible.
- Use a smaller screen where practical.
- Take a 10-15 minute break every hour, even if you don't feel you need it.
- Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.
Motion Discomfort
GloomDelve has a free-orbiting camera and an optional first-person mode, and camera movement makes some people queasy. If you start feeling off, stop and rest: the dungeon will wait. Staying in third-person, zooming out a little, and taking regular breaks all help.
Repetitive Motion & Eye Strain
Marathon sessions can leave your eyes tired and your hands, wrists, or arms achy or numb. Take regular breaks, and stop if something feels sore. If it keeps hurting during or after play, see a doctor. The Prize isn't going anywhere.
