Divine is a platformer video game that uses art styles to represent mental illness. Targeted towards the general public, the game fosters empathy towards people with mental illness. Unlike those afflicted with less stigmatized medical conditions, people with mental illness often encounter negative attitudes from others and feel shame as a result. The game’s climax represents the end of the journey toward recovery. The player tries to break through the hard shell of social stigma and reach into the soft places where they can feel emotionally held.
