Sanity Meter	comment	Some games will try to measure how bad or good you're being, on the basis that the game is set in a moral universe. This ain't one of those games. This is one of those games where the very nature of reality is mutable, there are things out there beyond human imagining that mean us ill, and you've encountered several of them first hand. After a while, that's really going to wear on a person... The Sanity Meter measures how well you've managed to keep your mind together when facing the horrors from beyond reality's edge. This comes vaguely in three shapes, which can often overlap: Some kind of fear/panic level that gauges how much of a Nervous Wreck your character is and increases with every scary monster or event you encounter. When filled up you'll helplessly run around in panic or even die from fear. Some kind of madness/derangement level, that gauges how psychologically unstable or Ax-Crazy your character is. When filled up, you'll be put into an Asylum, randomly destroy objects or become a spree-killing Serial Killer. Some kind of trauma level, that gauges how heavily your Trauma Button has been pushed and how much you suffer from Psychological Horror or Personal Horror. When filled up, you reach the Trauma Conga Line, turn to an Empty Shell, or even have a Death by Despair. Some games will actually merge the Sanity Meter and the Karma Meter, on the grounds that doing enough horrible things may either give you Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or disconnect you from the activity altogether. Others will let you ding the Sanity Meter to power awesome spells. Either way, you'd better keep all your marbles clutched tight, 'cause it looks like Cthulhu's coming around again. Compare Morale Mechanic, where the combatants' morale and fighting spirit are the ones being measured. See also Intoxication Mechanic, wherein a player character consuming mind-altering substances causes an Interface Screw. "Sanity Meter in video games causing various Interface Screws on decrease" was, by the way, patented by Nintendo, the publishers of Eternal Darkness. However, this patent has expired. Sub-Trope of Status Line (a display element showing the current disposition of the player, e.g. score, health, ammo, etc).

No one seems to be quite sure, but it's very clear that allowing one to stop glowing completely would be a very bad idea. Corruption spreading through a soul gem is actually its owner's despair. As it becomes more corrupted, they lose touch with reality to a greater extent and draw closer to outright madness until finally, they become a Witch.

Sanity Meter / int_135c4e2d	comment	Green Hell has a sanity system. Traumatic events will lower it; things like leeches or rashes are minor annoyances that only degrade a small amount of sanity, but major events such as parasitic worms burrowing into your skin or eating human flesh lowers it sharply. At around 50%, you start hearing insane whispers and screaming inside your head; below 20%, imaginary tribal warriors will continually spawn in to kill you. Eating good food, getting a full night's sleep on a proper bed, and staying near a lit fire helps raise your sanity back up.

Sanity Meter / int_145d53f0	comment	Five Nights at Freddy's: The Player Character in the first game can hallucinate, causing messages and extreme close-ups of enemies to flicker across the screen, freaky sounds to play, posters to change, and allow Golden Freddy to spawn in. Notably, there's nothing the player can do to prevent sanity loss: the protagonist hallucinates more and more as the week goes on, no matter how well you play. This returns with a vengeance in Five Nights at Freddy's 3 where hallucinations of the past two games' antagonists appear both in your cameras and your office. Staring at them for more than a glance will prompt them to jumpscare you, disabling your ventilation and other systems, causing you to briefly blackout until it's fixed. In a game where having a visual of your enemy is critical for your survival, this is a huge issue. This carries over into the Bedroom level of fan game The Joy of Creation: Reborn, represented by a light near Bonnie's door, starting at Green (max sanity), and draining into Red (insanity), where prolonged exposure to darkness and the animatronics makes the protagonist go insane, forcing you to keep the light on as long as possible and avoid looking at them.

Sanity Meter / int_1469522d	comment	Sunless Skies keeps the same mechanic, but tweaked. If terror reaches 100 that's (probably) it for your captain as usual, but the game provides opportunities to lower it in exchange for a recurring nightmare that will come to haunt you at a later date. These recurring nightmares stack, and if you have too many of them going on at once that's definitely it for your captain. This time, there's also Spectacles in the background that can both raise and lower terror during the time you're witnessing them, so making a stop at a soothing sight to calm down is perfectly valid.

Sanity Meter / int_14eb91c0	comment	The Shadow Hearts series has Sanity Points (SP), which deplete by 1 with each combat round. Once it hits zero, the character goes Berserk, attacking randomly without player input; if they end a battle in Berserk status, they can't remember the events of it and thus gain no experience points. Harmonixers lose Sanity Points faster when they use their Fusion abilities (demons and/or spirits attack their sanity), but they start with about twice the SP of any other character. Except Johnny Garland, because he never had the training to handle it.

Most Sanity-based skills are spells, so magical classes tend to be very calm and rational until they've spent a few battles healing all their allies and they are literally down to the dregs of their Sanity. There are also a few spells and effects that attack Sanity, most of them associated with the Cultist Job.

Tranquility is a twelve-box track, with the divine nature starting in the top box and expanding downwards, the bestial nature starting in the bottom box and expanding upwards, and the human nature occupying however many clear boxes remain between the other two. When the last Tranquility box is filled in, the two natures come into direct conflict. If the divine nature wins, the Leviathan becomes an Ophion, a psychopathic demigod incapable of seeing other sapients as anything but pawns to be manipulated, rivals to be overcome, or both. If the bestial nature wins, the Leviathan becomes a Typhon, a feral monster ruled entirely by its instincts.

Sanity Meter / int_295048d5	comment	In Bloodborne, the Insight mechanic and the Frenzy meter count as this. Insight is gained either from using certain items or from encountering and slaying bosses. The more Insight you have, the more you see of this world: more enemies show up, enemies gain new attacks, and the enemies get harder. (Plus, there's the Amgydalas just hanging onto the walls that you can see once you have enough Insight.) Most dangerously, though, is: having a great amount of Insight greatly reduces resistance to the "Frenzy" status effect, which allows certain enemies to kill you almost instantaneously. However, Insight can be spent either by summoning another Hunter online or through the Insight shop in the Hunter's Dream.

Sanity Meter / int_3583b777	comment	Eternal Darkness popularized the Sanity Meter in video games. Encountering monsters drains Sanity (in particular, those aligned with the Ancient Xel'lotath specialize in draining sanity]]), and as the meter decreases, you experience hallucinations, from a canted view, unnerving sounds, or harmless changes to the scenery, to more extreme cases like your character's head falling off and reciting Hamlet, a healing spell backfiring and "killing" your character, or even Interface Screws like the game switching to another video input, lowering the volume, or "deleting" your game instead of saving it. Aside from all of these "flavor" effects, if the character's sanity is at zero, any further sanity loss will instead drain health. You can restore big doses of Sanity with the right magicks and items, or smaller amounts by performing Finishing Moves on downed monsters.

It's represented as a kid's head, with the hair starting to stand on end as you get more frightened. If the meter maxes out, you die of fright. This almost never happens in-game, but it does increase the chances of seeing hallucinations (a pile of skulls covered in blood, someone with a machete through their head, etc) accompanied by a blood-curdling scream. Surprisingly effective for 16-colour graphics!

Sanity Meter / int_3c1f955d	comment	Sanity is one of the most important features in Yandere Simulator: The main character's sanity meter is represented by a cardiograph. If it's slow and pink, she's relatively normal. If it's rapid and red, she's "visibly insane". When this happens, her head twitches, she sports a Slasher Smile, and she has Empty Eyes with a shadow over them. She will also take longer to kill people in more sadistic, prolonged ways with sanity-affected animations enabled. However, played with: it actually doesn't measure sanity itself, since the protagonist is always crazy. What it does measure is how well she can stay composed enough to keep her Mask of Sanity on. Kidnapped victims have a sanity meter that decreases as the main character psychologically tortures them. When their sanity reaches 0, they become permanently mind-broken and can be ordered to kill the main character's current rival and then commit suicide afterwards. In the finished game, Senpai will have a sanity meter that decreases every time he sees something horrifying like blood or corpses and it will be one of the factors that determine which one of the game's Multiple Endings you get. If you force Senpai to repeatedly watch people he's very close to like his childhood best friend or sister die right in front of him, don't expect to get a happy ending... especially if he finds out you were the one responsible for their deaths.

Seeing dead friends and being chased by Jason causes counselors to become more fearful, which not only makes it easier for Jason to find them using his "Sense" skill, but also makes counselors more likely to trip while running, makes tasks like repairing a phone box or gassing up a car harder, and blacks out the edges of the screen, making it harder to see where you're going. At higher levels, it also becomes harder to break free from Jason if he grabs you. Each counselor also has a "Composure" stat which dictates the rate at which fear takes hold: higher composure means fear increases more slowly.

Sanity Meter / int_47dc9ef0	comment	In a bit of a borderline example, most Fate-based games (Spirit of the Century, The Dresden Files...) don't have an explicit distinct sanity system, but do already resolve mental/emotional conflicts using the same rules as physical ones (having a separate "mental" or "composure" stress track is practically the default). A character can thus already find themselves just as affected by psychological trauma as by any bodily injury using just the stock rules. (The Fate version of the Call of Cthulhu WW2 supplement Achtung! Cthulhu does somewhat unsurprisingly add its own CoC-inspired set of sanity rules on top of this.) Mental stress tracks are also popular resources for powering up magic, with the risk of madness for using too much.

Sanity Meter / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft: The battle with Yogg-Saron uses this. Players start with 100, and Yogg has numerous abilities that reduce it. The only way to recover sanity is to stand in one of the green beams of light (sanity wells) situated around the room. If a player reaches 0 sanity, they go insane and begin to attack all the other players in the room until they are killed (the player will actually start seeing all his fellow players as Faceless Ones, servants of Yogg-Saron). This not only hurts the group by losing a friendly player, but said player can also kill other players while insane. On top of that, every so often players have to go inside Yogg-Saron's mind and attack his BRAIN while he's casting an induce madness spell. Failing to get out of Yogg-Saron's head in time will cause the people inside to instantly go insane. Inverted with Meng the Demented of the Spirit Kings encounter, who has an Insanity meter. He alternates between attacking the tank and running away while reflecting his attackers' damage back at them; how full his meter is determines how damaging his abilities are, and when it fills, he changes tactics. In a Vision of N'Zoth, you're given a sanity meter that slowly drains over time or when you're damaged by certain attacks, but can be increased in capacity and restored with certain upgrades. Having the meter depleted will immediately take you back to reality unless you're in a group, in which case another group member can donate their sanity to you. A mechanic similar to the above is used in both of the fights against N'Zoth in Ny'alotha, the Waking City. Like with Yogg-Saron, having the meter reach 0 will result in you being charmed, but every few minutes, you can restore your lost sanity using your legendary cloak in the first fight or the Heart of Azeroth in the second. Having said cloak equipped was the one thing keeping him from charming you right off the bat.

On average, a bad roller will get two-three insanity points per session; double that estimate for a magic user. Unless you have a Gold Wizard, a very lucky brain surgeon or a Priest of Shalliya amongst your list of friends, insanity points and derangements are incurable.

There are some things that make it go down quicker, like eating raw meat or mushrooms, and some things that can make it go back up, like consuming good food cooked in the Crock Pot, creating a new prototype with the Science Machine or Alchemy Engine, or wearing a garland of pretty flowers. As your sanity goes down, various dark shadowy creatures start to randomly phase in and out of view... and when it gets really low, they all turn hostile.

Sanity Meter / int_5a7956f	comment	In Lost Dimension, SAN is one of the three main meters each unit has. It's used alongside GP to use Gifts, and also decreases whenever a character is attacked. When it's depleted for an enemy, it will be Dazed and miss a turn, but allies instead become Berserk, which fully restores their HP and massively increases their attack power, but also lowers their defense, forces them to attack the nearest units whether they are friend or foe, inflicts Fear on nearby allied units, which causes them to lose SAN even faster, and gives you a score penalty at the end of the mission. In some cases, having a character go Berserk near a strong enemy can be beneficial, as long as you keep them far enough from allies.

Max it out, and it drops back down to zero...because you've just unleashed all that stress in an outburst of insanity that can last anywhere from a few hours to several months. The Chimera rules in the Lunars book also work like this, only fused with a sort of mutation meter: if you undergo this break in the Wyld, and you're a Lunar without moonsilver tattoos, you gain a permanent point of Limit. By about five or six, Lunars with tattoos will try to kill you on sight. When it hits ten, your mind and body are both reduced to screaming madness. Inverted with Alchemicals, whose Limit-equivalent, Clarity, makes them more coldly logical as it climbs...and then played straight with Dissonance, Clarity's gremlin twin, which causes Alchemicals who have developed Gremlin Syndrome by using Voidtech to become steadily more sadistic as it rises.

It's more about emotional stability than actual sanity, however; once it reaches zero, the character experiences a complete mental breakdown, and it's game over. It also functions comparably to a Karma Meter: carrying out morally suspect actions will cause it to drop, and vice versa. Tyler gets one moment at the end of the game, where he has to choose between his duty to the NYPD, or his long-time girlfriend that he loves who is leaving the rapidly freezing north for Florida. Interestingly, regardless of which choice you take, his sanity meter gets dinged (taking about a 50% loss if he leaves, and a whopping 95% crash if he stays). In both cases, it's entirely irrelevant, however: he's never seen again.

Sanity Meter / int_6ac55ec7	comment	The Dungeons & Dragons setting Ravenloft, based on Victorian horror, adds to the traditional saving throws of Fortitude, Reflex, and Will by adding saving throws for Fear, Horror, and Madness. In second edition, when Ravenloft first became a full-fledged campaign setting, Fear, Horror, and Madness were added to the five saving throw categories. In third, they became extensions of Will saves. Other D&D settings in 3.5 can use the Depravity system from Oriental Adventures and Heroes of Horror to effectively create this. Exposure to evil could cause you to become increasingly unstable and malevolent. Or you could just take Pure Soul and No-Sell it.

As it progresses from "Stressed" to "Haggard" to "Harrowed", they'll eventually start suffering increasingly-frequent emotional breakdowns, depending on their personality (e.g. anger-prone dwarves will throw temper tantrums, which tends to result in a tantrum spiral from angry dwarves lashing out at others). If they're outright miserable long enough, they can go permanently insane, in four different flavors depending on the dwarf's personalitylistAngst Coma, Ax-Crazy, Driven to Suicide or Naked People Are Funny. There's also a trait that tracks how used to tragedy they are, reducing the impact of negative thoughts. And as of the DF2014 update there's also a Sanity Skill in the form of Discipline, which reduces the odds of panicking when in combat.

Sanity Meter / int_705bb59a	comment	Vampire: The Masquerade has a Humanity meter for vampires; the lower it becomes, the greater the chance that a character will Frenzy, causing them to lose all control and attack targets randomly (both enemy and friendly targets) until it fades away. A character's Humanity stat in the table game did much more than it did in Bloodlines. The Humanity stat for vampires is curious in that it did double duty as Sanity Meter and Karma Meter, but does not stop you from picking up mental illnesses for other reasons. The Humanity Meter indicates what sort of wrong doing bothers a particular character, where a saintly person might feel guilty for selfish thoughts, most humans draw the line at theft, and a person low on the meter might be fine with Pragmatic Villainy but still be bothered by "Acts of Casual Perversion" or however it was phrased. Humanity kept the character from giving in to the monstrous barbarism ("Beast") of their undead state, but it didn't protect them from suffering OCD, schizophrenia, or other forms of mental illness. You could be a paranoid schizophrenic saint who had their "Beast" on quite a leash— as a starting character. Low humanity vampires also found it excruciating to act during the day, had extreme difficulty in mimicking human physiology when it would help them (for example, warming your skin so a potential meal you were attempting to seduce wouldn't realize you were a corpse), and at Humanity Zero, a character would pretty much become a mad dog who had to be put down. Many princes of the Camarilla (the "less evil" faction) would put a vampire down before Humanity 0 just because they had already become so violent, inhuman, and Ax-Crazy that they would threaten The Masquerade just by existing. The game also featured alternative moral systems which were horrifying and outright evil by pretty much anyone's standards, but kept the Beast at bay. Such characters dove headfirst into being monsters to avoid becoming berserk, mad killing machines. For examples, one path says be God's personal scourge, another mandates you should be a ruthless bastard with Chronic Backstabbing Disorder, and a third suggests you become an emotionless killer and student of death. Characters on these paths used very dark Blue-and-Orange Morality to remain less insane than the Beast. Vampire: The Dark Ages featured alternate paths than Humanity which would be similar to Humanity and served a similar purpose. For example, the Road of Heaven put religious duties first, human ethics second, but the overlap between them was very high. Such a character fought the Beast with their faith.

Sanity Meter / int_73b4d4c1	comment	Call of Cthulhu pretty much pioneered the Sanity Meter. Each character starts with some measure of Sanity out of 100. When encountering a Mythos horror, or something just plain horrific, they roll their Sanity score, then roll again to see how many Sanity points they lose (the range goes higher if the first roll failed, e.g. "roll for 1d6/1d20 SAN"). SAN points can be regained through psychotherapy and successful adventuring, but learning more about the Mythos permanently decreases your maximum Sanity. In fact, it is absolutely impossible to learn everything about the mythos without your SAN falling to 0 first. A form of Sanity Meter is actually implemented in the First-Person Shooter Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, where the longer you spend looking at (or just being around) the horror scenes, the more disturbed the protagonist becomes, eventually bringing in Interface Screw and, at one point, suicide. In another take on Lovecraft RPGs, Trail Of Cthulhu, the Sanity Meter is broken down into two parts: Stability and Sanity. Stability is one's in-the-moment appearance of rationality, while Sanity is one's ability to convince oneself that human lives and interests matter in the face of a Cosmic Horror Story. Secret cultists who are nuttier than a bag of fruitcakes and yet still interact with society on a relatively normal level have high Stability but low Sanity. Stability can regenerate, but once a character loses Sanity points, they're generally not getting them back. Parodied in Toon. One of the settings in the Tooniversal Tour Guide supplement is "Crawl of Catchooloo", where exposure to the eldritch but otherwise strait-laced minions of the Elderly Gods drives the 'toon PCs sane (since they're already crazy to begin with).

Once you reach 100, your character is unplayable. Unlike in WFRP insanity can actually be a good thing as it makes you more resistant to fear: A character with more than 80 insanity points can stare down an Eldritch Abomination without much trouble, but at that point the voices in his head will already be doing far worse to him on a daily basis. On average, a session of Dark Heresy is about six-eight insanity points for an unlucky roller, with about two-three more per session for being or standing too close to a psyker. Insanity points can be bought off during reconciliation time for about 100 XP a point.

As male channelers eventually go insane, each time the character gains a level or uses too much power, he has to roll a die to determine how much sanity he loses. There was also a table laying out what psychoses the characters should manifest at what levels of sanity.

It starts at "calm" and successively reaches "low", "medium", "high" and "very high", together with a picture that shows how terrified they are. On "very high" level, they will completely panic and escape the house, as long as a door is nearby (if not, they'll just flee to another room and finally calm down again if you don't scare them again).

Since this is a "day in the life" story rather than a horror game, the things that make Max's meter go up are mundane, such as being late for school or getting in trouble with his teacher. This is intended to show non-autistic players that things that seem mundane to them can be terrifying to people on the autism spectrum. Also, the meter is only affected by story events, not by gameplay. When the meter goes too high up, the player will often have to play a minigame where they help Max breathe slowly to calm down.

Going at 0 Sanity will trigger Panic into that employee, after which they're capable of a variety of reactions such as going run around screaming across the entire facility or go on a murderous rampage - the only reliable way to cure them of insanity is by hitting them with White-damage dealing Weapons, which will refill their sanity without harming their health.

Sanity Meter / int_aabf6d1d	comment	In Darkest Dungeon, the heroes' stress bars act as secondary health meters, starting at 0 and typically going up when they suffer an attack or suffer another unfortunate event. When a hero's stress reaches 100, the stress becomes too much and their resolve is tested; typically, this results in an Affliction, one of several mental disorders, which can cause them to do erratic and harmful things like skipping a turn, refuse support abilities (especially healing) used on themnote especially bad while camping, as the time units for respite activities are wasted, stressing out their comrades or even outright attacking them. If they become stressed over the 200 threshold, they'll scream and have a Heart Attack, that either drops them straight into Death's Door (and slightly reduce their stress, albeit to the point at which they're still vulnerable to another Heart Attack), or if they are already at Death's Door, they'll flat out die; unlike dying from enemy attacks, there's No Saving Throw. However, there's a chance their resolve upholds and they become Virtuous instead, massively reducing their stress and continuing to do so, relieving the stress of teammates through encouragement, or bolstering either themselves or their teammates; additionally, they gain a shield against Heart Attacks (a Virtuous hero that reaches 200 stress loses their Virtue and all of their stress instead). The one exception to that is the Flagellant, a class that is exempt from the resolve check roulette — he always goes Rapturous, an affliction exclusive to him that makes him act slightly erratically and swaps his ability to dodge for sheer attack power. It's a valid strategy to intentionally drive him insane solely for the power boost.

When Jennifer's panic meter is blue, she's normal and can probably take a hit from most traps (not counting instant kill ones, or any member of the Burroughs family). As her panic meter changes color (from blue to yellow to orange to red), she becomes weaker. Once it's red, not only is she likely to die instantly from the different traps in the mansion, she also starts tripping when she runs. If Bobby is near when this happens... In Clock Tower 3, if it fills, Alyssa starts running around uncontrollably. Haunting Ground has a very similar concept. If Fiona reaches "panic mode", she becomes disoriented and cannot be well controlled by the player (to the point where the entire screen goes monochrome and disables use of the inventory/item menu).

Losing too much sanity will cause them to start looking crazed and potentially destroying random items in the shelter, and letting them stay in that state for too long will cause them to run out of the shelter and never be seen again.

Sanity Meter / int_b2afdc9d	comment	The various gamelines in the Chronicles of Darkness world all have something similar to a sanity meter crossed with a Karma Meter. It represents how well your character is able to hold themselves together in the face of the world, and how much they're able to relate to others. If you commit a "sin" (something which goes against your moral code), you may lose a point, and you may also gain a Derangement, which is some specific mental illness (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Paranoia, Megalomania, etc), often something which relates to the specific way in which you sinned. For standard humans, there is Integrity, which represents one's ability to deal with the horrors of the world. If your character ever ends up changed into a supernatural being, Integrity is replaced by a different meter, depending on what they become. For example, if your character becomes a vampire, Integrity is replaced by Humanity, which measures your ability to empathize with human beings and recognize them as more than just walking blood bags. If your Humanity drops to 0, your character has completely lost touch with humanity and becomes an NPC. In Werewolf: The Forsaken, your character has a Harmony meter, measuring their ability to balance their human, intellectual side with their animal, bestial nature. Tip too far in one direction or the other and you risk becoming spiritually unbalanced. Changeling: The Lost has a Clarity rating for its characters, which represents how well a person's able to hold it together after being put through hell at the hands of The Fair Folk. Murder and theft count as sins, but so do taking psychotropic drugs and experiencing unexpected life changes. The Trigger Points system in Hunter: The Vigil, prior to the changes introduced in the "God-Machine" update, tracked sanity not so much in how moral you were but in how much you had skewed your Code to avoid Morality degeneration in pursuit of your Vigil. If you traded out enough killing-related ones you were likely to end up a slasher. Beast: The Primordial has Satiety, which acts as a kind of three-way cross between a Sanity Meter, a Karma Meter, and a Mana Meter. The premise of the game is that your soul has been replaced by an incarnation of primordial horror, and you have to keep it fed by inflicting pain and suffering on others. Satiety is the measure of how well-fed your Soul is: at high Satiety the Horror is well-fed and sleepy, and generally leaves you alone, while at lower Satiety it grows restless and starts pushing at you to attack or destroy, to inflict the suffering that the Horror feeds on. In Mage: The Awakening, Integrity is replaced by Wisdom, which represents not only your morality but also your ability to judge when and how to use magic properly. If you run around casting spells willy-nilly, you're in danger of losing your connection to other human beings and declaring yourself a god. Fan gameline Leviathan: The Tempest has Tranquility, which measures the degree to which a Leviathan can keep its Warring Natures in check. Tranquility is a twelve-box track, with the divine nature starting in the top box and expanding downwards, the bestial nature starting in the bottom box and expanding upwards, and the human nature occupying however many clear boxes remain between the other two. When the last Tranquility box is filled in, the two natures come into direct conflict. If the divine nature wins, the Leviathan becomes an Ophion, a psychopathic demigod incapable of seeing other sapients as anything but pawns to be manipulated, rivals to be overcome, or both. If the bestial nature wins, the Leviathan becomes a Typhon, a feral monster ruled entirely by its instincts. Fan game Genius: The Transgression has Obligation, which is a hybrid sanity meter, karma meter, and Comes Great Responsibility. The more the Genius violates social norms and/or dips into doing very nasty things with Mad Science, the further they lose themselves to their Inspiration. If they bottom out, everything they are is burned away by Inspiration, leaving them as one of the Illuminated, who care only for whatever mad theories they have conceived, to the point they would willingly rip the heart out of a child if they felt it would advance their work. This is actually the rarer of the two ways to become Illuminated (Geniuses keep tabs on each other and are quite willing to Shoot the Dog if necessary); a Genius who delves too far into their personal madness risks becoming an Unmada, and if an Unmada does the same thing and screws up they become Illuminated.

You lose sanity when you are struck by enemies, flee from them (ostensibly as a result of fear or doubt), or through plain old poor luck in events. It is restored by receiving uplifting messages from those supporting you or doing good things for people. A shorter, non-permanent boost can be had by taking illegal drugs to numb yourself to the horrors happening around you. Notably, sanity is also your Mana Meter; using the various incantations in the game, even the beneficial ones, drains your sanity as your dabbling with occult forces you to accept the dreadful possibilities that it entails.

Sanity Meter / int_dc72c82f	comment	The Nightmares quality in Fallen London is an inverted sanity meter - it starts at zero, and increases as you go through particularly horrific experiences. At eight you Go Mad from the Revelation. It can be brought back down through particularly soothing experiences, writing down some of your darker secrets in journals, telling a friend about your fears (which increases their Nightmares slightly), or laudanum abuse. Once you Go Mad from the Revelation, it can be easily brought back down through actions in the special location you're sent to, but once you become sane again, you will lose most of your dream progress, making it the most punishing of the four Menace locations. And considering that you access one of the other Menace locations by dying, it seems that going insane is a Fate Worse than Death. Sunless Sea, in the same setting, has your Terror meter, which measures a whole bunch of stuff, but sanity is in there. Delving into eldritch stuff, spending long periods at zee, going too close to the Dawn Machine, clicking the "Lose Your Mind" option at Kingeater's Castle and so on cause your Terror to climb.

Sunless Skies keeps the same mechanic, but tweaked. If terror reaches 100 that's (probably) it for your captain as usual, but the game provides opportunities to lower it in exchange for a recurring nightmare that will come to haunt you at a later date. These recurring nightmares stack, and if you have too many of them going on at once that's definitely it for your captain. This time, there's also Spectacles in the background that can both raise and lower terror during the time you're witnessing them, so making a stop at a soothing sight to calm down is perfectly valid.

The redder it gets, the closer she is to falling into madness from drawing too much upon her demonic powers. It's not actually until her eyes turn red that she loses it, however. Normally, she should have had the strength to better resist that, but she's giving half of her life-force away to Shiki. On another note, the one time she actually does go insane, it's possibly the result of a partial possession by a mad ghost whom she accidentally "ate".

Sanity Meter / int_e6444cd2	comment	In The New Order Last Days Of Europe, while Sergei Taboritsky already isn't the most sane ruler of the mod, once you reach the superregional level, he reveals his true objective: to put Alexei Romanov back on the Russian throne. Since Alexei is long dead, Sergei undergoes a progressive Sanity Slippage, as represented by The Clockworks. The clock may be slowed or accelerated by certain events but never reversed, and once it reaches Midnight, Sergei realizes that Alexei is dead, dies from shock, and things rapidly go From Bad to Worse.

Sanity Meter / int_e64a6382	comment	Arknights has one in the roguelike Integrated Strategies game mode's third season "Mizuki & Caerula Arbor" in the form of Light meter, starting at 100 and drains when the player loses life seals or getting certain encounters. High Light gives the player a chance of receiving a helpful buff called Enlightenment on a die roll; at low Light they will instead receive Rejections, which are debuffs that can only be suppressed by sending the afflicted Operator away or using certain Collectibles. Low Light also raises the chance of the player being afflicted by "the Call of We Many", which carry random effects both beneficial and detrimental, and symbolizes Mizuki succumbing to the influence of the Seaborn hive mind.

Sanity Meter / int_eb4ec2c0	comment	The Madness Meters in Unknown Armies. There are five; Isolation, Helplessness, Violence, Self, and The Unnatural. Depending on how well you roll when confronted with triggers, you fill them with either a Failed notch or a Hardened notch. The more Failed notches you gather, the more likely you are to break down crying when you experience a trigger; the more Hardened notches you gather, the more immune you become to the trigger (to the point where a character with all Hardened notches in their Violence meter becomes a sociopath who doesn't really see the problem with carving a guy's face off with a potato peeler, and is only vaguely aware that others might not feel like he does).

If you run around casting spells willy-nilly, you're in danger of losing your connection to other human beings and declaring yourself a god.

Sanity Meter / int_ee76546c	comment	Cataclysm features a morale system, which measures how well your character is mentally holding up against the horrors of the zombie apocalypse. Events such as getting sick or killing zombie children lower it, while actions such as eating good food or listening to music increase it. While you can't actually lose your mind, a character with poor morale will fight more poorly, get a penalty to experience gain, and if morale gets low enough they will refuse to craft or work on a vehicle. Conversely, a character with high morale will gain stat boosts and will learn more quickly.

Usually up to 6 can be used at any time (and they are required to use the Madness Talents); the more are used, the more likely you are to spend a "fight" or a "flight" reaction. If none of these are available, the character snaps. When it comes to its senses, the reactions are back, but one Discipline die gets replaced by a Madness die. Which allows more powerful uses of one's powers, but also makes it more likely to snap again. And if all Discipline gets consumed, well...

When mood gets below certain level, there is a chance that the colonist suffers a mental break when something unpleasant happens. The lower the mood, the more severe the types of mental breaks can be. In contrast, when the colonist is happy, there is a chance for mental inspiration to trigger, temporarily boosting some attributes.

Sanity Meter / int_f463b038	comment	The It Lives series features one of these in the form of a "Nerve Score", which ranges from 0 to 100. Making the right choices, hanging out with friends, acquiring weapons, and so on raises your Nerve Score, while encountering monsters, making incorrect choices, and getting injured lowers it. The main character and their friends all have Nerve Scores, and anyone with a Nerve Score has the potential to die if it's too low. In the first game, the Nerve Score's main function is determining whether a character survives the Final Battle. In the second game, each character has a "moment of truth", whereupon their success or failure is dependent on their nerve score. In Chapter 15, the group's Nerve Scores are totalled up, and if the value is too low, the person with the lowest nerve score (excluding the main character) will die. In the final chapter, the main character is thrust into a live-or-die situation where their Nerve Score determines how much time they have to escape a Death Trap (if their Nerve Score is really low, they aren't given a chance to escape and they will automatically die).

Sanity Meter / int_fcf43f47	comment	In the Fighting Fantasy series: House of Hell: You collect FEAR points when something eerie happens. If your total ever equals or exceeds your FEAR score, you instantly die. Notably, it's literally impossible to get through the book if you roll poorly on your FEAR score — you must score at least 7 points, which is the minimum FEAR score. Beneath Nightmare Castle, a book based on Lovecraftian Horror, have a WILLPOWER meter for your character, where every time something scary happens to you, you'll need to roll against your current WILLPOWER tally to determine the outcome. It will decrease regardless of the results, and once your mental strength gets too low you'll succumb easily to whatever horrors you can encounter.

Letting it hit 50 will have the protagonist contemplate suicide (with you able to oblige at any time afterwards), and in the first game forces party members to stay behind (dying of a heart attack if not given a Mind restoration item). If it hits 0 for everyone, they develop a fear of everything, saddling you with a massive Damage-Increasing Debuff in combat against everythingnote Ghouls, skeletons, Demon Kids, Moonless, and Nasâ€™hrah in the first game are exempt, and ghouls and Black Khalev from the second game are exempt as well.
